FEAR OF FAMINA
Old Alaska ProspectOrs Turning
Back From the KlOndyke
Country.
Great Rush Now in Progress Al
most Certain to End in
Disaster.
Fifteen Hundred Men Now on
the Dyea and Skaguay
Trails.

DYEA, Alaska, Aug. 4.-(Via Seattle,
Wash, Aug. 12.)-The British steamers
Islander and Gees have arrived with
about 500 prospectors, which increase
the number of the Dyea and Skaguay
trails to fully 1900. Later reports have
home in to the effect that the Skaguay
route is open, and that is about 40 miles
long. 1t is a zigzag course over the
mountains, and the road is very soft.
There are 200 or 300 head of horses in
the trail, and they will put the road in
a deplorable condition.
The probability Of one man in ten
reaching the Klondyke is remote. Old
Alaska prospectors, some of whom have
wintered in the Yukon and know what
to expect, are becoming frightened and
turning back. Not that they fear the
hardships, but that they are a%pprehen'
sive Of famine on account of so many
men rushing headlong to the mines
without enough provisions to last them
two months
The best evidence that those upon the
ground regard the situation with more
or less alarm is the fact that many are
paying 20 cents per pound to have
freight packed across Dyea pass. There
Is an increase of 8 cents per pound since
the sailing of the Alki, at which time
16 and II cents were charged. Twenty
cents is the regular rate over the Dyea
or Chilkoot pass route.
This increased and exhorbitant charge
is due to a scarcity Of horses. Without
pack animals of some description, it APP
| pears to be next to impossible at this
season to get freight and outfits across
the divide.
