WINTER PERILS NOT Needed
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE STILL SEEK
ING PASSAGE TO THE NORTH.
The Skaguny Trail and Crossing Oh
Packing Food and Outfits.

SEATTLE, Wash, Aug. 2l.-The steamer
George E. Starr arrived at her dock this
morning shortly after II o'clock from Dyea
and Skaguay and was met by a great
crowd, it having been reported that several
men from Klondike, having made their way
to salt water overland, were on board
This report proved true, but the interest
conferred in the appearance OF one passen-
ger, Ed Thorpe, who was expected to come
down on the Portland, and who is reported
to have somewhere in the neignpornood OF
$4,000 in Klondike gold in his possession.
Thorpe and his companions talked, but 1t
is impossible to get anything definite from
them. Willis Thorpe, the father or Ed
Thorpe, received a letter a few days ago
on the AI-Ki from his son, saying that ne
had $4,000 in gold; at least that is what
Willis Thorpe is alleged to have told his
friends but now Thorpe and his three COM
panions on the Starr unite on one point in
telling their story, and that is that they
have $4,000 between them
Four men on the steamer are direct from
Dawson. They are George ! Stewart Ed
Thorpe Joe Winterfield and Jack Ross
and their Indian guide, Schwatka. Stewart
went to the Yukon in July, 1896, and located
a claim on Eldorado creek, branch of 30
ndnZd creek, ana ABOUT SiAlSSll lilIlSS IAOAl
Dawson. When his party left Dawson City,
July 4, nothing had been heard of the dis
coveries on Stewart river. The party came
up the Yukon to Pelly river, which they
reached on the 18th of July. From there
they came over the Dalton trail and reached
Skaguay Aug. H. The Dalton trail necessi-
tates packing a distance of between 400 and
300 miles, and Is used mostly for driving
stock over the Yukon. 1t is the intention of
all the party to return to their mines at
once on the next trip of the steamer George
Z. Starr if they can get ready They all
came out after supplies Mr.. Stewart said
supplies run short in the spring and that
flour went up to so per sack; at present it
is S12 per 100 pounds. Old miners on the
Yukon say that the transportation COM
pany promises every year to have plenty
of provisions for the next winter, but that
the supply invariably runs short

ALASKAN BOUNDARY LINE.
General DuHieId Thinks 1t Has Been
Almost Accurately Located.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-In speaking of
the boundary line between Alaska and the
British possessions to-day General Duttield
of the coast and geodetic survey said: Il
do not believe that when the matter Of the
boundary line between the two countries
is definitely settled there will be any APP
preciable changes from what is down on the
map at present. There certainly will not be
as far as regards the Klondike region,
which is beyond all manner of dispute in the
British Northwest Territory. Dawson City
is a hundred miles or more east of the
141st meridian, which is the boundary line
Mount st. Elias is near the intersection OF
the ten marine league line with the Hist
meridian. To be exact, the summit is 40
degrees and 80 minutes, or minutes on the
Canadian side which in that latitude repre-
SentS two and one-half miles But on the
southern side it is only twenty-eight and
one-half miles from the coast, which brings
it inside Of the ten-league line or thirty
mile limit, and one and one-half miles on
American soil.
AT Forty-mile creek our survey agrees
with that of the Canadian survey under
OgilVie within fourteen-hun of a sec
ond which in that latitude represents six
and one-half feet. The Canadian line steals
the six and q half feet from us. Crossing
the Yukon river, the difference in the two
surveys is fourteen seconds which in that
latitude represents three hundred feet Ac>
cording TO the line of Ogilvie, the Canadian
government surveyor, we gain three hum
dred feet on the British side We are
anxious to compare the two lines at the
Porcupine river crossing, which is several
hundred miles farther north, but the Ca
madam government has given us no notice
of where it has fixed its line there. l do not
suppose that the difference will be worthy
of note
General Duffield added that if there is any
dispute between the two countries over the
boundary line it will be in regard to the
ten-league coast line in the southern Dor-
ton of Alaska, as that is question which
admits of considerable diversity of

Mrs. Horne says she frequently assists in

Deputy Sheriff A. Baker, of Seattle. who

written an interesting letter to friends in
this city. Among other things he says, I'M
der date of Skaguay, Aug, 7: In all my
life l never saw anything like our landing.
They unloaded our goods against a stone
pile, opposite the camp, where is was i'm
possible to pack goods along the hill to
solid ground Small boats were there in
plenty, but their owners demanded $40 a ton
to carry goods about five hundred feet We
0Eally got a ScOW ana got our BOOflS across.
There were many persons on the steamer
Resale who wanted to do the bossing. So
we licked out our goods and proceeded to
carry them off. One man, who aspired to
be the chief easetaker, executed a ghost
dance and threatened to jump Sam
Archer, of Seattle, for picking out our
goods. He intimated that he would dump
our provisions overheard. This proved too
much for Archer. Drawing a pistol Sam
threatened to puncture his skin full of
holes if he didn't attend strictly to his own
business. Archer would certainly have
made his threat good if the offciouS indi-
Vidual had not subsidized.
q One mile from the camp is a river
about five hundred feet wide, and it is very
dangerous to cross. We rowed all our stuff
up TO the river yesterday. Kalberg got on

pack He started across, and when about
half way over the horse he was riding

horse could hardly live there. But Kali

off the saddle and we finally got the horse
ashore on a little island. Several horses
were drowned in the river in the last two
days and while 1 am writing they are try
ing to revive a man that fell in. He is APP
parently dead. The river is terribly swift
and full of powders.

MOB AT >SCOTTDALE
Attempts to Force a. Justice to Render
Decision In Strike Case.

sCOTTDALE, Pa Aug 2.-The charges
of disorderly conduct against James Dur

tense excitement. The hearings were be-
fore Justice J. X Either at noon to-day,
and crowd Of several hundred forced
themselves into the Justices office and 9TH
ers surrounded the building. After the tes-
timony was heard and the justice indicated
that he was going to- decide against the
defendants the crowd commenced bowling
and cheering, and could only be quieted by
reserve his decision. Burgess Porter acted
as attorney for the defendants, and he and
Manager Skemp nearly came to blows. JUS
tice Eicher was indignant, and declared
that he would allow no mob to force him
to render a decision and several times
called on the officers to make arrests, but
none were made. The situation is critical
and serious trouble is feared.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Aug. M.-The situa-
ton at Jones Il Laughlins American iron
works, South Side, is in worse condition
to-day than yesterday. OF the two mills
started yesterday mos. and 100 many of
the old men returned to work and the
places still vacant were filled by new men.
This morning the men working on No. 10
mill went out again, and No. 9 mill is only
working in part and none of the small
mills are at work. 1t was expected that
several of the other mills would resume
work this morning and that the entire plant
would be in operation on Monday morning,
but from the present outlook unless the
firm ~or rollers make concessions, the en-
tire mill Will be shut down. Up to this time
neither party is willing to make up the ~
per cent to the roughers, and if the mill
still continues to operate with the old men
it will be at the 15-per-cent. reduction.

FRANK SLAVIN LOST.
The Big PuGiIist Supposed to Be Wan
dering in the ChiIcat MOuntnins

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. IA letter
from the head of Lake Bennett states that
Frank Slavin, the big pugilist is lost in
the wilds of the Northwest. On Aug. )
Slavin started back alone from the lake
towards the summit Of Chlcat pass to
find a number of articles lost from his
pack. Up to Aug. 9; the date of the letter,
nothing had been heard from him and
grave fears for his safety were entertained.
A letter from Lake Lindermann, dated
Aug. ), says: "Frank Slavin and his party
have just arrived. Kreling is getting
photograph of SlaVin and it ought to be
interesting for the athlete looks as though
he had been forty years in the wilderness.
With him are j. w. Boyle, Frank Raphael
and eleven others. Each has an axe on his
shoulder and each is in clothes all tattered
and torn They have been fighting their
way through brush no man ever trod until
Skaguay two weeks ago., said SlaV1n, ana,

a lake that empties into the river below
Caribou crossing. We had to cut from
few miles below the summit to Lake sum-
