SOUTHERN ARGONAUTS.
Parties From Santa Barbara Which
Are Starting for the Ell
Dorado

OOTdOO.
SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Aug. 4.-The
second party OF gold. seekers to leave
Santa Barbara left here tonight for San
Francisco. where they will take the
steamer Walla Walla to Port Townsend,
transferring there to a vessel bound for
Juneau. This party is composed Of /. X.
Fisher, AdoIph Abraham. Frank New
man, J. {. Fox, A. D. Bernard and Lee
Gardner. Fisher is an old mining pros
pectar, having been in all the great gold
excitements of this country since 40.
Adolph Abraham gives up good business
here, one that most any man would be
willing to have, and all the other MEM
bers of the company are giving up lucra-
tive positions to try their chances in the
Klondyke. Each man of the party has
provided himself with 400 pounds of pro-
visions and number of sleds, the latter
being made here and SO arranged that
they can be heightened or shorten ed.
These men intend to prospect the Ameri-
can side of the gold fields before ventur-
ing on British soil.
Another party leaves from here Sunday,
headed by man who has put in eighteen
years surveying through the wilds of
Northern Canada. He intends going by a
new route. According to the route laid
out by him there will be no Chilcoot Pass
with its terrors, no dangerous trips on the
Yukon to encounter. From here the party
go to Victoria. B. c., thence to Vancouver,
where the party will buy supplies, taking
the Canadian Pacific at this point to Lyt-
ton, then to the mouth of the canal. After
fifty mile travel they 20 into camp for
the winter. In the spring the party go
on 60 the Stewart River, prospecting ali
the way. Ii reports continue to be favor
able from the Kiondyke region until
spring there will be large number de-
part from here at that period.

''In the old days the Lancing carried
over 1900 passengers every trip, but she
was never as deeply laden as she is now.
Now, in regard 10 this voyage TO the
Peruvian GOLD fields Ross & Co. have 80
arranged it that when the prospectors
have reached the port of entry they will
have a home to return to within any rea-
souable time. They will be carried to
Peru for fixed sum and the ship will lie
in port awaiting their return for at least
ninety days. That will give them chance
to test the mines, and if they do well, all

Which They Are Reached.

ten days, beginning with the ID inst.
One of the principal conditions is that he
shall guarantee not less than $50, 900 worth
of passengers. Ii he can do this he will
be able 10 secure the services of the
steamer for sixty days.
The protector claims that he already
has about sixty applications for frst-class
fares and sixteen for third class. Should
he succeed in filing the guarantee it is
proposed to have the vessel leave about
the Goth inst.
Important new facts were learned yes
terday from Captain de Miranda. the Peru
Wan oil king, VINO is stopping at the
Palace He is in receipt of a report on the
newly found diggngs, made by Spanish
mining engineer, together with maps
showing the location of the gold fields and
the route by which they are most readily
reached.
According to the statement of Baciga-
gallup, it will take about thirty days to
reach the seat of the present gold excite
ment in Peru, leaving here on a steamer.
What has here olore stood in the way of
development in these districts is the lack
of good roads. Travelling is said to be
most difficult and dangerous in the pres
ent condition of the country. Bacigalupi
states that the Inca Mining Company is
now engaged in the work of constructing
roads that will cost i'll the aggregate about
500, 600.
II am not trying to induce any one to go
to Peru said Bacigalupl yesterday, in
speaking of his proposed enterprise. 81
simply propose 10 furnish transportation
for those who may make up their minds
10 go there. Personally / feel confident
that the reports of rich finds of gold in
that country are we'll founded, bit each
man who goes will have to look out for
himself. The first question / put to man
when he makes application for passage is
ii be has $500 in cash. I tell him that /
will not take him unless he has, as do
not want to be held res ponsible for getting
any one into a position where he may
have to suffer hardships for lack of ready
money.
From advices that I have received
learn that .Iquique, Psagua and other
cities of Chile are being virtually depopu-
lated, owing TO the gold fever that has
spread to taat country from Peru and b.
liv!a. Owing to this great exodus il is
difficult to get people to carry on the Or
binary lines Of business in many OF the
towns
when / was in New York about a
month ago l met a Peruvian gentleman
at the Jefferson Hotel who mad just come
from the new dlggingS. He showed me
maps and plans of the mining properties
he was interested in, and also some mug
gets OF pure gold. He informed me that
he and his friends had located about fifty
mines, and that he had gone to New York
to secure the necessary capital to operate
the property to the fullest possible extent
at the earliest day. l do not now recall
the gentleman's name, but know that he
was Minister of Finance during the ad-
ministration of Caceres. What he needed
money for principally. he said, was the
construction of roads,"
