YELLOW JACK RAGING.

Disease Is Spreading Rapidly in the
South.
New Orleans, Oct. 14.-From the
reports there is little hope in the yell
low fever situation. The board of
health is daily demonstrating that with
a fair show it is possible for modern
science to restrict and stamp out the
disease. But the people who must
suffer from strict application of scien-
tific methods rebel, the result being
that the pathway of the board is beset
with difficulty. If there was strict
compliance with the health laws. il
prompt report was made of cases, the
fever germs would be quickly wiped
out. But it beg ms to look now as if
from 80 to 40 new cases and from four
to six deaths would be daily reported
until Jack Frost puts in an appearance.
Today, as on nearly every day since
the fever first appeared here, about 50
per cent of the fatalities were traced to
neglect and a disposition to hide cases
until it was too late to save life.
The Official bulletin issued by the
board of health tonight shows 81 new
cases and four deaths.
Galveston was one of the first cities
to raise the bars. DR.. Guiteras on Sat-
urday pronounced several cases of yell
low fever as existing in Galveston, but
not line has reached DR.. Oliphant rel
ative to these from the Texas health
officials. The only information which
DR.. Oliphant had received was from
Surgeon General Wyman.
About so Italians reached the city
this morning, coming, it is said, from
New York. Orders were given by the
board of health to prevent their locat-
ing themselves in the city limits. and
the health officers were instructed to
have them sent to one Of the camps OF
detention.
At Biloxi there were IL new cases;
at Edwards, five, and two deaths.

Camped in Flimsy Tents-Ice on
Lakes Blocks Further Travel
Skaguay, Alaska, Oct. l2.-Several
parties are just in over the Dalton trail
from Klondike, and all bring the same
story-scarcity of provisions and pos
sible hunger and starvation as the
portion of many there this winter.
The latest arrivals, James Clark and
G. A. Brown, who have been mining
on Birch creek, having left Dawson
City September 6, poled up the river to
$50 miles above Pelly river, and there
bought horses and came in over the
supposed Dalton trail, making the
trip in 26 days to Haines' mission, get
ting there on Sunday. They passed
the Thorp party on the summit with
100 head of cattle. Most of the party
were discouraged and wanted to turn
back. Brown and Clark told them
they had gone through 100 miles of
snow where no food could be got for
their stock, and it would be utterly i'm
possible to get their cattle through
alive. Thorp had already lost Is pack
horses on the trail, and part Of his or
iginal party had turned back two days
before, but he was stubborn and would
not consent to turn back himself.
About % persons came out over the
Dalton trail in the past week, and say
there are good many following them,
all bringing the same report, that there
is no trail, that it is AT miles long,
that SUBMITS innumerable have to be
crossed and streams forded, and that it
is impossible to find your way without
Indian guides. The largest party to
come out together consisted Of II per-
sons.
An Indian packer who has just ar
rived from Lake Lindemann reports
that two feet of snow fell at Lakes
Lindemann and Bennett, and the dis
tress and suffering there are intense.
Most of the people at the lakes live in
tents, and many have made provision
for getting away this season. They
have not built cabins for themselves,
and the Indian says that with so much
snow ON the ground, which will in all
probability remain, there will be in
tense suffering before the people are
housed in shacks or cabins The win
ter SHOWS have begun to fall on the
pass, and there are yet hundreds Of
men scattered along the trail between
Sheep camp and the lake. This is we'll
known, travelling over the pass in one
of those snow storms. which frequently
lasts one or two weeks. is impossible,
and when this fact is considered, it is
easy to imagine the awful condition
which confronts the gold-seekers.
There are grave fears that many will
perish on the trail before they can
reach Lake Lindemann.
Late reports from the lake are that
ice is rapidly forming. and all indica-
tions point to an unusually early and
severe winter"

Some Rich Stories.

Seattle, Oct. 13.-The steamer City
of Topeka arrived tonight from Juneau.
Among her passengers was John T.
Maloney, of Juneau, who came out
from Dawson with the Calvin party.
In an interview with the correspondent
of the Associated Press, Mr.. MalOney
said:
"Hunker creek and Gold Bottom
creek, it is conceded, will equal if not
rival the already famous Bonanza and
Eldorado creeks. More especially is
this true of Hunker creek. Location
No. 38 on that creek is among the rich
est in the Klondike district. Many of
the claims on this creek will run 81, 900
to the box. On No. 80 Eldorado, Alex
ander McDonald's claim, one man, in
shift and half (Which is about 10
hours), shoveled in $40, 200. On
Skookum gulch, which enters Bonanza
at No. 2, saw $50, 900 weighed out Of
two box lengths"
Mr.. Maloney saw . 16-quart brass
kettle filled with gold dust in the cabin
of T. Dinsmore. Harry Spenz, Bill Nc
Fee and others. No. Is Bonanza,
owned by Oscar Ashley and Billy
Leake, will produce $1,000, 900. Ten
DAYS after the boat left for down the
river. taking the gold, the North
American Trading & Transportation
Company had quarter of million in
its safe at Dawson. This shows how
rapidly the gold accumulates. Mr..
Maloney says that over 1000, 600 will
come out this fall.
''There are stacks and stacks OF
gold," he said, leach with the owners
name on it. Alexander Mcdonald will
produce the largest amount. l hesitate
to give figures, but the simple truth is
that his various interests will yield
from So, 900, 900 to $4,000, 900 this
winter. These figures are staggering,
but true"
The statement is made that Henry
Bratnober, agent for the Rotchilds,
who has been spending several weeks at
the diggings. offered over $1,000, 600
for 10 claims adjoining one another on
Eldorado, but the offer was declined.
