The steamer Portland arrived at
Seattle Saturday from 81 Michael's
having on board party of 6S miners
returning from the rich placer dig
gings on the Yukon. They brought
with them nearly one and half tons
of gold, valued at 100000. 1t was
piled in three boxes and safe in the
Captains room.
All OF the miners who CAME down
on this steamer lay great stress on the
necessity Of taking in plenty OF sup
plie>, and say that Il proper outfit will
cost not less than 500 to each and
every man, and that it is advisable to
purchase provisions and clothing on
the Sound.
1t is generally conceded, though,
that all of the territory where the rich
strikes were made has been staked,
and that So far as those districts are
concerned it is useless for any one to
think OF making locations. But then
there are other streams, all OF which
are known to have bearing bars !;
but it is extremely doubtful as to
whether their richness will equal the
famed Eldorado and Bonanza creeks
OF the klondyke.
For the benefit of those who propose
going to the Klondyke mines, We
publish the following lists of arti-
Giles which experienced miners say
would constitute a mans reasonable

but go to work:
