SAILING FOR THE KL0ND|KE
Another Ship Load Of Prospect
Ors Starts for the Mines.
SERIOUS NOTE OF WARNING
An Alaska Commercial Company
Official Urges Persons Not In
ured to Hardship to FOrego the
Dangers OF Exploration just at
Present Hundreds May Starve.

San Francisco, July 2s.-Another ship
load OF Klondike prospectors sailed yes
terday on the steamer State of California
for Portland, where She will connect with
the steamer George w. Elder. for Juneau.
Seventy were booked fors the Yukon and
a greater part were 'iteHderreet.' Three
were bellboys from a leading hotel.
The craze still contiiBles here. but warn
ings In regard to the danger OF not reach
ing KIondike in season to avoid snow
are having effect, as are also reports from
Dyea that Indians and pack mules can
not transport one quarter Of the supplies
which have been piled up there during
last week.
Eastern expeditions which expect to
start from here as late as the middle OF
August and go by way of st. Michaels
will surely come TO grief. as they cannot
possibly get more than half the way up
the YUKON before the river freezes over.
Louis Sloss, head Of the Alaska Com
mercial Company. said:
II regard IT. as a crime for any trans
Dortation company to encourage men to go
To the Yukon this fall With the present
and prospective rush, 1t viii be iinposst-
BILE to get enough provisions TO supply the
demand Seattle people who are looming
the steamship lines may be sincere, but
a heavy responsibility viii rest on their
shoulders should starvation and crime pre-
vail In 'Daw son this winter. We have
tried TO give facts to all applicants, and
discourage this wild rush OF professional
men and women who are unused to any
haresllips, and whose chances OF getting
out OF the country alive will be very SEN
der, even though they should make money.
Conditions are radically different from
those in California In the early days
Those who crossed the plains or came 10y
the isthmus found here a genial climate
and plenty of food. They also turned to
other vocations' when mining proved I'M
profitable. But on the Yukon, If a man
cannot get work as a miner he must
leave the country or starve. In the winter
he can't get out, end should the food sup
ply run low. hundreds Will perish miser-
ably"
The Alaska Commercial Company'ssteam
er Excelsior will sail tomorrow afternoon
with 1OI pa ssengers. This vessel viii be
the last on this route which has any assur-
ance OF getting to the Upper Yukon tefore
the river freezes.

VAST REGION OF RICHES.
The KloDdike n Mere Speck ON the
Gold Map.

Seattle, July 2s.-Among the miners who
are outfltting here for the Klondikei is NJ.
I. Fitzgerald. Replying to an inquiry about
the Northw est Territory, he said:
The Klondikeis but speck on the map
of that great gold country. Last season l
spent six months In the Peace River eoun-
try In the interests OF the Fort y-third Min
ing Company, Of ottawa, going in the ca
pacity OF a prospector. Our exploring
party included thirty-one men and sixty
three horses. Ashcroft, b. c., on the
Canadian Pacific Railroad, was the start
ing point, thence over the Cariboo wagon
road to the Quesnelle River, 22o miles.
Crossing Upper Fraser River, we tray
eied north westerly following the old tele
graph trail TO Stewart Lake, stopping at
Fort st. james, about 200 miles from
QuesneIe, and 43o miles from Ashcroft
we struck the gold country at Horse Fly
and were in II the rest of the Journey.
Crossing Stewart Lake at Fort st. James
we took the trail TO Manson Greek. trav

where Col. Wright and Capt. Black are
opening up large hydraulic mines for their
respective companies. Here coarse gold
is found, together with nuggets OF silver.
being the only place in America. outside
of Mexico, where silver in this form has
been discovered.
1--WE took up $500 acres OF placer ground
along the Peace River. At depth OF
eighteen feet we struck bedrock aud found
the ground to prospect $500 to the cubic
yard, and in some instances as high as
5000 were obtained. The largest results
Were obtained on the river bars. The gold
is coarse. and is what is termed barley
gold, with occasional nuggets worth about
So.
Peace River is fully half mile wide and
flows eastward through a low country for
about 800 miles into the Great Slave.
While the season is short, like that of the
Klondike, there are some advantages
possessed over that country. The ground
never freezes to such depth and mining Is
much easier. Such vegetables as tur-
nips, onions, ard radishes have been grown
along the shores OF Stewart Lake.
II purpose prospecting the country be-
tween the K1ondike and Peace Rivers and
Will 20 well prepared for the journey.
The Northwest territories are now sur
priEing the world and they still have greater
surprises In store"

well-Favored Miner.
st. Louis. July 2s.-''The Klondike gold
field is a three-ring circus and the Cali.
forDia and Montana mining regions but
sideshows in comparison Nowhere else
unless it be in the golden streets of Para
disc, can gold be found so easily or In such
abundance. There is no place on earth
today where a MAN can take one pan OF
dirt from the dump which laborers have
worked all day to pile up and in fifteen
minutes extract from this two shovelfuls
OF precious mud enough pure gold TO pay
off his men at the fabulous rate of ST 8
day. Yet that is what is being done every
In half dozen of the creeks that feed the
ewirling flood OF Klondike River"
This is the way r. F. Purcell. of Highfll.
Mo-, sums up the Alaskan situation. He
has just returned from the new diggings
with fortune, the third time ne has made
himself rich as gold miner. He left home
fifteen months ago on borrowed money,
having lost all he had in business. He
considers his Alaskan claim worth $780,
200. Stories OF the finds there cannot be
exaggerated. Mr.. Purcell expects to re-
turn to Alaska in the spring.

COLD IN THEHEAD

Is acute inflammation and swelling of the
Olfactory organ which contains the
Nerves of Smell This organ is a long
ribbon-like membrane and hangs from
the roof of tho Nasal passage in folds, as
seen In Fig. 8 When this condition be-
comes chronic, or permanent, it is called
CATARRH. The folds become swollen
into solid mass, so the air in breathing
cannot circulate between them !; hence
the loss of smell The Catarrhal microbe
soon makes its appearance, causing q
multitude of small ulcers between these
folds. The pus from these ulcerc is very
poisonous and soon impregnates the
whole mucous surface of the nose, hsad
and throat with the disease. Medical
works show cases where the tonslls havs
become corrupt mass of ulcers. It not
infequently involves the whole bronchial
passage to the lungs, causing consump-
ton and death. 1t will be seen that
nothing can radically cure Catarrh which
does not reach to the seat of the disease
between these folds of the Olfactory
organ, and cleanse and heal these ulcers.
