our company had at headquarters at
Fort Get There and in transit up the Yukon
not less than 800 tons of provisions.
"Of course there is the work of getting
the provisions up the Yukon before it Closes
For this reason the completion of the steamer
Z. II. Hamilton is of great Importance to us
and to the miners on the Klondike. The
Hamilton in given time can carry twice
as much cargo up the Yukon any other
boat on the river. She really doubles our
freighting capacity. Then, too, the Alaskan
Commercial company has two river steamers.
and it is not to be assumed that it will not
seize the opportunity to take in supplies.
Now, these miners, 5000 miles away from
direct communication had not learned of our
sending supplies by sailing vessel to the
mouth of the Yukon and that we had doubled
our interior navigation facilities. They nat
ural!y figure on facilities in the past. So,
barring accident and untoward circumstances,
which cannot be foreseen, l think there is no
danger of starvation in the Klondike this
winter.
"our private advices today as to the
amount of treasure brought down by the
Portland are in consonance with the reports
1t Is now guess. whether the bulk Of the
seasons output will be brought down by our
Steamship Cleveland, which will sail from
Fort Get There this week, or whether it will
come down by the Portland on her next trip,
the last of the season.

ton referred to, that the new river steamer
G. H. Hamilton, built by Moran Brothers, of
Seattle, at Fort Get There, was finished just
In time to take the Portlands passengers
up the Yukon to the mines, together with a
part of her cargo. This gives us three steam
ers on the river. The c. H. Hamilton is the
largest of the fleet and measures 600 TONS
It is generally understood that the steamer
P. B. Weare will bring the bulk of the sea-
sons output of gold from Dawson City down

AN ELEVATED FOR alaska.
Latest Scheme for Transferring
Goods Over Chffcoot Pass.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9O-It is generally
understood that among the first bills intro
duced at the next session Of congress will be
several to charter railroads for Alaska Two
or three corporations have already been
formed with this object In view and some
steps have been taken already to secure the
right from the Canadian government to ex-
tend the line into the Northwest territory.
1t will be an exceedingly difficult feat of
engineering to connect the waters of the Pa
cific with the headwaters of the Yukon by
any ordinary method of railroad building, but
a we'll known engineer Of Albany and of this
city, R. NJ. Fryer, has devised and patented
what might be called a cantilever railroad
system, which, apparently, can be constructed
for very little money, very rapidly and in
any country where a foothold for "sheer
pole few inches square can be obtained.
Capitalists have taken hold of this new
railroad system, which was originally inten-
ded for use in some of the Central American
republics. 1t is now more than likely that
the first railroad in Alaska will be a radi-
cally new departure in railroad building. 1t
will be an elevated road, propelled by cleo
tricity and will afford the novel spectacle of
a railroad carrying its freight beneath its
tracks Besides cheapness and rapidity of
construction, the Fryer system seems to af-
ford great advantage over surface road, in
that SHOWS would never interfere with its
operation.

March l. 1t will be taken to the Yukon,
where the machinery will be put in place,
and after going up the river few hundred
miles they will begin prospecting Instead
of using the ordinary miners outfit they will
equip their boat with centrifugal pumps, which
will be used in prospecting the bed of the
Yukon and other streams they may strike
The pumps will have immense power
