The week slipped by with but one the
atrical event of note to chronicle; that
was the appearance at the Seattle theater
of Madame Sofia Scalchi, who is today
the unquestioned head of the dramatic
contraltos of the world. 1t is rather in
teresting, apart from the merit Of the
music itself that such q grand cantatrice

the world and sing to us as Scalchi sang
last Tuesday night and without the slight
est question in her manner of anything
but the enjoyment that she derives from
her art and the pleasure she experiences
in giving pleasure 10 others. Scalchi has
had a remarkable career and for twenty
years or more she has been among the
contraltos of the lyric stage what Patti
was to the sopranos. The two women

ing papers of late dates, the latest Au-
gust S, the one topic of converse ton
was what the situation would be at
Dawson and in the Yukon this winter.
When the Excelsior arrived at St.
Mlchael's with her load of one hundred
and thirty-odd people and the miners
heard that the Cleveland would bring
15v more they talked strongly then.
They said that many people were going
in and that supplies could not possibly
hold out during the winter.
After leaving Dutch Harbor the par
tiaI extent of the rush dawned upon
them.
My God" said one man to the cor
respondent, what are they thinking
of? Are people crazy? There will BE-
terrible, horrible times on the Yukon
next winter. Starvation will stare them
in the face long before spring"
From his own personal investigation
at St. Michael's the New York Worlds
special emissary is convinced that min
ers do not speak too strongly. The
company is doing its utmost to get
supplies up the river. and, were it pos
s:ble to do so, would have food for ali.
But it labors under disadvantages
which cannot be appreciated until seen.
A serious mistake was made by the
Alaska Commercial company in carry
ing up too much liquor on the last trip
or two of the boats. The miners want
food-not liquor. Last year, with 1900
persons on the river and facilities for
transporting very little under those OF

Lucky Strike.

The treasure ship Portland which ar
rived at Seattle, Wash. recently brought
bcr only $s5O,OOO in gold nuggets. but
also a crowd of hardy miners who were
unanimous in advising gold-seekers to
stay away from Alaska until next sea-
sen. One of them went SO far as to say:
Warn people to stay out of Yukon
this yearl Tell them it means starva-
1icn! Telegraph TO every paper in the
country that people will starve there if
more people go in!"
These warnings were repeated time
and time again by each and every one
of the Yukon miners who returned on
the Portland. More than this. several
of these have frankly stated that had
they not realized there would not be
sufficient supplies in there for the COM
ing winter they would not have come
out.
These men are in earnest. They
know what they are talking about.
These warnings, too. they asked the
correspondent to write before they
knew half the story of the insane rush
to Dawson City.
When they reached Dutch Harbor on
their return and secured a few scatter

must have supplies, and they with those
who went in last spring. making a
total of probably 5000 persons on the
river before the last rush, will require
every pound that can possibly be taken
in.
L: is doubtful If 5000 pounds will be
taken up the river this season. That
does not mean 5000 pounds of food by
any means. Perhaps the large half will
be food, but furniture, hardware, stoves,
liquors, clothing, blankets, etc., will
fl eure up nearly one-half.

William Oler, who left Dawson City
July IA. says that there was not at that
time enough supplies at Dawson to last
the people there over three months.

can be got enough supplies there this
season to last half the people until the

One of the latest additions to Dawson

night was a hummer. Every inch of

so that the dancer had but a space less
than ten feet square to dance in. The
price of admission was one dollar.

Clara Wilson, returns to the United
States the multi-millionairess. Miss
Wilson, and all through her own efforts.
Miss Wilson was educated in the
public schools at Scran ton. Pa. but her
parents moved to the western country
before she had an opportunity to get
above the grammar grades. At that
time her father had considerable
means, but he exhausted it in an en-
deavor to locate gold in Colorado and
California. Miss Wilson was 16 years
old when her father died and at once
determined to make her own way n the
world. She went to Seattle and found
EMPLOYMENT as domestic on steamer
bound for Alaska. She found her way
to Circle City and became the cook and
general housemaid for a number of
miners.
Miss Wilson was not satisfied with
this kind of a life. She had had some
experience in mining while accompany
ing her father on his pilgrimages and
she crossed lots" in Alaska on her own
account. The result was that she To-
Gated a copper mine whichis now being
worked and which is said to be banning

mines that are making the Klondike
fields famous. Miss Wilson had no
sooner staked her claim than her pos

men. but besides mining abe had
learned from her father how to use
