THE COLD MINING COMPANY.
The Only Sure Air Route to the Klondike
Cold rlining Country-Capital Two
Billion Dollars.

A party OF Wilmingtonians having
packed up nearly all of their belongings
in the clothing limo, left for the gold fields
in Klondike on Monday last They expect
to be gone about one year or longer and
some of them may perhaps never return
again to Wilmington. They expect to
leave Baltimore by the new air line the
survey of which has been underway for
several months past by expert engineers
hended by William Mckinney.
This new air route is much cheaper than
tho present route by water and overland.
1t Is all overland and only takes from
three to four hours MS the crow flies. Each
prospcctor Is provided with enough food
nut in q condensed form to last him oyer
II year. Their meats, soups, coffee and
bread are put up in small cakes that
look like cartridges and which Sin this

Wheat Crop Ruined.

CHESTER, July 29-The continued and
heavy rains have proved disastrous to the
formers of this county in several particu-
part Of their crops of wheat and oats,
which have sprouted In tho field after be-
ing cut.
1t Is nat only wheat and oats, but tho
potato crop Is suffering and there arc
signs OF big loss in that particular, as
spots have already appeared on the pota-
toes.
One man estimate the loss at $3.50, 900,
but it is hardly likely that the figures Will
roach this limit. As ono passes over tho
county the dashed and blackened grain
may bo seen In the fields, In some ca'es
partly Inundated.

Victoria, B. c.. July 3e.-There Is a
crowd Of indignant gold seekers in
town. Two hundred of them came from
Seattle with their outfits to take the
steamer Islander for Dyea. Arriving
here they found that not pound of
goods would be allowed to enter the
Klondke district without paying the
regular Canadian duty. Some Of them
decided upon payment Of the duty here,
but others are going with the expecta-
tion of evading the customs officers.
This Is hardly possible, and the Gus
toms officers are going upon the ISL
snder, accompanied by force of con-
stables, who will assist the mounted
police now there to enforce the laws.
