month. She will go via Suez and is ex.
pected to reach her destination in March.
Captain Hooper will have charge OF her.

be ordered to Bering Sea early in the
spring.
"WilI Captain Hooper 60 in person2'
"I think So" said Captain Shoemaker.
Il think he would like to 60"
TIE CALL correspondent learned at the
White House to-day that the Chamber o1
Commerce of San Francisco had wired
the President requesting that Captain
Healy OF the Revenue Marine he ap
pointed in charge of the whalers' relief
expedition.
The President sent the communication
to Secretary Gage with an Endorsement o.
the requesi. Secretary Gage, upon con.
suiting with some officers OF the treasury
however, saw that il would be i'm ossble,
for Captain Healy is now serving a sem
tenc' imposed by court-mar;ial He is on
waiting orders" The President was in
formed of this by Secretary Gage, so oil
course the idea had to be abandoned

"THE CALLS" SUCCESS.
From the Oakland Tribun ne.


The dispatch from Washington stating
that the Government would at once dis.
patch the revenue cutter Bear TO the re.
lief of the imprisoned whalers in theArctic
is very pronounced example of the power
of the great newspaper. sunday John d.
Spreckels, the proprietor OF The CALL,
made q most liberal offer. He guaranteed
all the provisions fo. q relief ex pedition
if the Government would furnish the YES
sci.
This was evidently no idle boast, for he
at once started to bring all possible iuf1u.
ence TO bear upon the Government to send
ship north. All the Senators and Con-
gressmen from this State were appr sed
OF the facts by THE CALL. and all cent
urgent dispatches TO Washington. Within
sixteen hours the Government has taken
action and the whalers will be rescued.
This IS indeed the noblest method o.
modern journalism.
Under the new management IHE CALL
has done many good things. but its
effective work on behalf of the impris-
oned American whaIers seems to crown
them ALL

The petition was brought into The CALL
editorial rooms last evening with the
statement that the sign atures attached
had been secured in half an hour and that
every whaleman seen had gladly signed
it. The parties who circulated it said that
the signature OF every whaleman in port
would be secured to-day.
Ii The Government decides to give the
expedition to the Bear, THE CALL will see
TO it that Captain Tultle and his officers
and men will be made as comfortable as
possible. The following telegram to Cap
tain Tuttle, sent yesterday afternoon, ex-
plains what he NAV expect In the way OF
assistance from THE CALL:

All THE CALL asks. now that through its
individual efforts it has persuaded the
Government to send relief to the hapless
seamen, is that the expedition start before

EVERY DAY COUNTS
FROM THIS TIME ON

Thomas Hanna, who has been teaching
for the United States Government at Cape
Prince OF Wales, the extreme western
point of Alaska, for the past TWO years is
in the city. and is enthusiastic over the
proposed plan to send food to the ice.
bound whalers near Point Barrow. Mr..
Hanna's experience III the cold regions
has been such that he is thoroughly con.
versant with the situation, and he thinks
it will be but a matter of time and good
judgment SO far as reaching the i'm pris-
oned men is concerned. He said yes,er-
dav: 'If the ship can reach ST. Michael il
can get to Cape Prince of Wales, ana from
there to Point Barrow, where the vessels
are caught. would be matter of 500 miles
overland by reindeer sledges. Captain
Healy could undoubtedly get to the cape,
and he should be started as soon as pos.
sible, for every day will count now. 1t is
worth weeks to get an early start, for the
heavy ice will be forming a bout the mid.
die OF Jenuary, and then the boat cannot
push through il.
AFTER reaching the cape, or even St.
Michael, 1t is simple matter of time and
judgment to get the provisions to the
men. There is no danger in the trip, for
it can be made with ca e. There are
plenty of deer at the different stations.
These deer can easily carry all the pro-
visions needed, and if a prompt start is
made the ships can be reached by the
middle of January. The sreindeer can
easily travel from twenty-five to forty
miles day with load. A team of two
deer can haul load OF 1000 pounds on tw
siedges and keep up the pace for month
is necessary. There is plenty of moss all
along the route.from the cape to the point,
and natives villages can be- found a; dis.
tances varying from twenty to seventy
five miles from the cape 20 where the ships
are held fast.
''The party should have dog sledge to
go ahead and notify the sailors about the
relief that is coming, and this could reach
the n in ten days after the Bear reaches
the cape. Dog sledges should be sent on
ahead and find good places for browsing
for the deer. The deer would browse at
night in care of the native herders, and
would be ready for the next days work.
There is no brush to the north of the cape
ana the road would be clear and easy trav-
eline. Along the shore the natives could
bring in quantities of fish, which can be
caught there at all seasons of the year,
but there would be little or no opportunity
for getting game of any kind. Bear are
very scarce and in winter generally re-

there was 20 e city, but an approach 10
the northern edge of the plateau showed
that it was only very small portion OF IL.
Looking over the edge of rather an abrupt
ending of the fiat plateau fair idea ef
the city was obtained.
Here there was seen large portion OF
the city spread out below like carpet
The lines of rocks on the upper plateau
were repeated below on an almost leVei
piece OF land. A rough guess al the size
of this wonld place it at abou: slxty-nVe
acres, and it was nearly all covered Win
ruined buildings.
From above the lines of roads or streets
could be seen several hundreds OF ruined
houses AL of these that were stand ing
in q condition good enough 10 be stuolea
were seen to have door opening toward
the east. There was exception to TINS rule.
The best OF these houses had walls
about two and a half feet high, and the
lower portion of these was nearly perfect.
The side of the cliff leading from the
upper to the lower plateau was covered
with stone walls running parable! to Its
sides like the slats of an amphitheatre.
The base of one wall was on level with
whole formed a series of terraces like a
flight of steps There was filling of earth
tnat formed The top of the steps. so it is
possible that these terraces may have been
gardens at one time.
There is little 10 describe in the appear
ance OF the houses or stone walls. All
were very much alike in size and shape.
How and where did the people who once
lived on the top of this mountain get
water?
Even this question is answered by the
markings Of trail that leads down can
yon 10 the northward and ends at a spring
that IS full of ood water to This day. A
few excavations were made by mem bers OF
THE CALLS expedition inside the walls OF
some of the old buildings, but nothing OF
any great importance was discovered be-
yond a few crude arrowbeads
Holes were dug to the base of some OF
the walls. These were found to be about
three feet beneath the surface, indicating
that the walls were once about six feet
high.
In turning over the soil among these
old houses it was found to be of the finest
Quality OF loan. Among them were
patches of charcoal, but how they came
there is a great mystery. How the good
soil came 10 be on top of mountain can
only be solved one way, it was carried
there from the rich valleys below.

THE EXPEDITION
IS A CERTAINTY.

Relief will be dispatched to she ice-
bound whalemen at the earliest possible
moment. That much has been decid ed
upon by the Government, and all that
remains to be done now is to decide
whether the honor Of the expedition will
fall on the navy or the revenue marine
service, and after the decision is made to
provision the ship. select the members OF
the overland trip and, away on the errand
OF mercy.
The President and the Cabinet were at
first inclined to send the cutter Bear on
the journey, but Captain Tuttle's report
that it would require from two weeks 10
twenty days to place his ship in readiness
for the battle with the ice, has caused the
Washington authorities to turn again 10
the navy, and the proba bilit1es now are
that the whaler ThTasher will be char
tered and Lieutanant Stoney placed in
com mand.
In accordance with telegraphic in
structions from the Navy Department yes-
terday afternoon Rear Admiral Kirkland
commandant of the Mare Island navy
yard, wired Lieutenant Stoney, who had
returned from the yard In the morning
after making his report Monday night
asking for further information regarding
the Thrasher, the best terms on which
she could be chartered, whether THE CALL
was ready 10 provision her and how long
it would take and instructing that officer
to certain if the Chamber of Commerce
would co-oI crate. The dispatch stated
that if the Thrasher was sent Lieutenant
Stonev was 10 be placed in command OF
the expedition, and that if the whaler was
chartered the department wanted her 10
get away at once.
Lieutenant Stoney al once called at the
office OF the Pacific Steam Whaling Com
pany and conferred with the heads re-
garding terms for the Thrasher. They
asked $400 a dav, the charter 10 ex
tend from the time the Government took
charge OF the ship until it was turned over
10 the owners. The owners will send their
own officers and crew and iced them, but
II the Government party on board Is fed
from the ships stores an additional
charge of 81 day per man is made. As
there will only be eight members of the
party this expense is trifing
Lieutenant StOney next re-
quested THE CALL TO state
what il was prepared TO do in
the way of prOvisiOning the
expedition and was promptly
Informed that THE CALL was
ready and willing TO make
good its promise whenever
called upon TO do SO. When
ever the Government selected
its ship all it had TO do was TO
back berup TO a wharf and the
stores would be On hand.
