Trading Companies VIII Not Be Able
to Supply the Demand.

Seattle. Wash, July 22.-Fred Price.
a Seattle man. who has returned from
the Clondyke with several thousand
dollars in gold dust, says that there is
great fear of suffering on the part of
those who attempt 10 so into that
country without an abundant supply of
provisions. He does not .Jelieve the
trading companies can begin to supply
the demand which VIII be made on
them. He thinks those who take up
horses to cross the passes will do well.
He also advises newcomers to look
for claims on other creeks besides the
tributaries Of the Clondyke. the latter

he sa.-s further that gambling dens
and dance houses have already opened

THERE ARE DRAWBACKS.
Some of Them Portrayed By a Plain
Statement

san Francisco, July 22-The Alaska
Commercial company's steamer Bertha
arrived from Oonalaska today with 500
tons of concentrates from the Apollo
mine at Unga and a bar of bullion
from the same source, but brought no
gold from the Clondyke region
Captain Hays of that vessel, speak
ing of the Clondyke boom. however,
said:
The fact that the new goldfelds
are 1000 miles from ST. Michaels, and
that the difficulties of transportation
are innumerable, cannot be too forcibIy
impressed upon intending prospectors.

tain torrents have ceased running, is
very low and consequently mucn &C
the 5000 tons of supplies now await
ing transportation cannot possibly be
conveyed to their destination for some
time"
The Messrs Sloss of the Alaska
Commercial company are equally
frank. One Of the firm said:
What we must fear is that the ex-
citement will cause many people tc
rush ncE7thward without properly con-
how they are to live through
the winter after they get there. We
have now about 5000 tons of provisions
on the Yukon and are sending as large
additional quantities as possible. but
we are. not able to say whether the
supply win be equal to the demand
nor when the supplies VIII reach their
destination with any certainty. The

New York, July 22.-The World says:
The Clondyke gold fever has reached
this city. At all the ticket agencies and
railroad offices inquiries are being made
about rates. What viii it cost to send
my son to the new gold fields?" a well
dressed woman inquired of c. E Lam
bert, the general passenger agent of
the West Shore railroad. Mr. Lambert
gave her the figures, and she promised
10 return.
She is only one of dozen who have
peen 10 see US this week." said Mr.
Lambert
A party of IA who hoped to make a
cheap trip 10 the Alaskan gold fields
came TO grief al one Hundred and Sew
enty-seventh street. They had boarded
a westbound freight and were arrested.
Two of them, Elmer Twitchell and Au-
gust Hope, claimed TO be representa-
tives of newspapers, and were dis
charged, While each of the others was
fined 81 for a technical violation of
the law. The first expedition from this
city for the Yukon gold fields will leave

The details have been arranged at

party is to comprise William II. Ed

SOME COMPARISONS.
Value OF the Clondyke Lower Than
the California.

San Francisco. July 22.-Assista Mt
Weigher ". A. Underhin, Of the Eibv
Smelling company. states that the gold
from the Yukon is not of so much value
as that produced in California In
speaking of this matter" ne said, I'VE
have found the miners from the Yukon
s very nice class OF people to deal with
and they have not been deceived in
the value of the gold they have brought
back with them.
There are 50 TO 100 points more base
metal in the northern product These
base metals are iron, lead and few
others. and there is & large quantity
of silver also.
We look principally for the gold and
silver 1t is the iron that gives the
Yakon gold its fine rich color.
LOT course. these other metals de-
crease the value a little. The nuggets
from the Yukon are worth ST. to SIS
per ounce. and the finer gold dust IS
worth from SIS to ST per ounce. with
the California gold the value is about
81 an ounce more.
The value Of nuggets run from SIS
TO SiS and gold dust never less than Sl7
per ounce.
Our assayers have found several /
other metals than those l have men /
toned. but no attention is paid 10 them. (
as these other base metals don't cut I.
