STARVING MINERS
Secretary Alger Reports on the Work
Of Relief

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-In answer
to senate resolution calling for such in
formation as the war department pos
sesses relative to the lack of food sup
plies on the Yukon river, Secretary AL
ger today submitted a letter reciting his
action in sending Capt. Ray of the
Eighth infantry to that country to in
vestigate the conditions and enclosing
copies of that officers report giving fea-
lures which have already been pub
lished.
Secretary Alger says: From these re-
ports it will be seen that as early as the
LIST of September, while en- route up the
Yukon, Capt. Ray was in receipt of in
formation to the effect that unless some
relief was sent to the district starvation,
or at least great privation, would be in
evitable.
From other sources, including dis
patches from the chambers of COM
merce at Portland and Seattle, which,
while unofficial, the department believes
to be thoroughly reliable, it is ascer-
tanned that since the 18th of August 1876
tons of provisions have reached Dawson
City by river and five beats of the two
of supplies for that place, We're obliged
to discharge their freights for the Yu-
kon, owing to the freezing of the river,
between the mouth of the river and
Dawson City.
at is also learned from three indie
pendent sources that the population of
Dawson and vicinity in October of this
year was estimated to be not less than
5000, and probably was much in excess
of that number, and that the population
of Dawson City and the country tribu-
tary thereto was deficient in food-sup-
ply, and many were absolutely destitute.
"When it was ascertained from Daw-
son, by special messenger sent from Fort
Yukon about September 18th, that no
more supplies could reach the miners till
summer via Yukon, TOO or 500 people are
reported to have gone 400 miles down
the river in boats to Fort Yukon, a jour
ney requiring from tWenty-three to
twenty eight days travel, where it is
estimated there are about 700 tons of
provisions cached. and that at NIinook
Creek, about coo miles from Dawson City
and Fort Hemlin. 525 miles from that
place, down the river, the trading COM
wholly for their winters supply, We're
compelled, owing to the lowness of the
river, to unload respectively 100 and 300
tons of provisions from their steamboats,
bound from st. Michaels to Dawson"
The plan of using steam snow loco
motives to open and maintain commu-
nication between the outside world and
the Klondke country has not been aban-
doned by any means. Secretary Alger
was in consultation today with severa
representatives of a company which has
already made ten of these unique loco
motives, and the secretary, who is in
tensely soicitous to extend aid to the
miners who are supposed to be suffering
from lack of food, authorized them to
proceed to ship the machines to Alaska
and make the effort to get through tn

has been adopted, 1t is said that the
customs regulations to foreigners en-
tering the KlondIke will be made as

of the cabinet, appreciate the handsome
way in which the United States govern
ment met the wishes Of the Canadians
in establishing customs ports at Skag-
uay and Dyea, to the convenience Of all
parties going into the interior. In many
other ways the kindness Of the United

nection as the work Of the committee
is progressing. The committee will
recommend change in the size Of the
claims and also the grouping OF the al
tentative claims.
