ties aboard the South Coast and Faral-
Ion are excellent examples OF these. The
explanation of their foresight lies in the
fact that they were organized and Off
cered by men who knew the country TO
which they were going and to whom
PAGER mining in the toughest surround
ings was not a matter OF hearsay.
All sorts and conditions of men is the
only fit way to describe the vast company
that is aboard the fleet of vessels referred
to. Among them was the Mayor of an
Illinois town, who had capitulatei 10 the
blare of the trumpets of the returned
miners, thrown aside all the honor and
emolument which Office brought him aud
joined the Klondike ranks. In the same
party were four bellboys of the Palace
Hotel at San Francisco. On another ves-
sci went the nephew of Russell Sage OF
New York. On still another was the son
of that old-time and famous grain specu-
lator whom the world knows as ''Old
Hutch"
One must not forget the women. Where
ever they could crowd in they went. Not
a man in any OF the parties faced the pos
sibilities of starvation and death with
stouter heart than some OF these feminine
seekers for gold.
The example of Mrs. Berry and the other
women who have returned with health
and riches has simply set on fire the am
bitions OF the poor and energetic fem
mines of this part of the country, and the
result is seen on the passenger lists OF the
outgoing vessels.
After the 18Th of September it Will be
paying court to death to attempt to reach
the K!ondike. Yet there are thousands OF
men in this City to-day VINO are perfectly
ready to face all this If they can ct trans
portation to the Yukon. Men who have
looked on the gold fever in various parts
OF the world for half century say there
was never anything that approached the
fever that has seized so many victims and
of all classes. ION to the KlondikeP' is
heard on every side, and fortunate indeed
is the man considered who finds way TO
achieve his ambition.

With the thermometer at a little less
than 100 degrees in the shade Oscar Hay
den drove into Missouri Valley, clad in
his usual summer costume of heavy wool
an, flannel underwear, two thicknesses
of jean overalls, fur cap and oppressive
overcoat reaching from his ears to the

overcoat-and that only on the waTmest
days-and is generally seen in his shirt

effect upon him exactly opposite to that
of ordinary mortaIs. Hayden owns

AN ASSAULT ON THE ARCTIC BY A FORN1[DABI

Here for the first time is presented a
list of the steamers that have left this
port and Seattle for Alaska crowded with
men mad with Klondike fever.
Scarcely a day has passed that tele-
graphic dispatches have not been pub
lished all over the United States chron-
icling the departure OF these vessels, bat
up to the present time no attempt has
been made to gather this scattered infor-
nation and present it in such a condensed
shape that the reader can grasp in a
column the size OF the exodus. AS these
lines meet the eye, most OF these ships
are sailing northward, or have landed their
compliments OF gold seekers and they are
pushing forward 20 Klondike.
A list of the steamers and the number
Of passengers each carries are as follows:
Willamette 1885, Islander 1150. National
City 105. South Coast 45, Farallon 75
Elder $40. Cleveland 24D Portland 140,
Queen 220 Walla WaIla $50 Noyo 100,
Mexico It's, State of California 240 Excel
sior 200, Mervin 220 Eliza Anderson 332
Umatilla 500. City OF Topeka $50, Hettie B
60, Progreso 1240 Sea Otter 100, Dawson
City 225, Hum boldt 400, Norman $50,
Rosalie 137, AI-Ki 10S Utopia 1885, Edith
SO, George E. Starr 800 Rapid Transit III,
North Fork-f00.
Thus all told there are on their way to
The Klondike to-day by the water route
Is 592 persons, in 31vesseIs. These figures
have not been exaggerated, but are taken
from the passenger lists of the vessels
whose names are given The list of ves-
sells is as complete as could possibly be
compiled. nquestonably some parties
have got away by the water route whose
departure has not been reported to the
newspapers.
80 contradictory are the reports which
come from those who claim 10 have knowl-
edge of what it will cost 10 reach the
klondike AND the necessaries of life one
must have in hts possession to assure
against starvation, that it is almostifolly
10 accept the word of any one as absol ute
Therefore it is of interest to know what
on the average, these COLO seekers carry
with them. Not all. not even the major
portion OF the emierants, will be able to
make the journey by water. Plenty of
them will have to brave the dangers of
Chilcoot Pass, with its record OF death and
starvation.
1t We average the possessions of each
gold-seeker IL will not reach The sum of
ovor $50 per individual. This assertion
will no doubt be derided by those who op-
timistically declare that almost every one
of the forIune-hunters has money enough
to see him through. That is not true.
Many man has started from here to the
Kondike with barely enough to live on
for few days after he has reached the
mouth of the Yukon. trusting TO good
fortune TO help him complete the journey
10 the promised land.
From the most authentic sources it is
learned that the water front at Dyea and
skaguay is lined with prospectors' tents.
ANY mum ber of those who went north
from here expecting TO get transpor-

carried the launch Hettie B. In fact, it Is
estimated that when the fleet of vessels
mentioned reaches its destination at least
a thousand horses. mules and cattle will
have been transported by them. This in
add ition to tons and tons of prov sions.
The best equipped and provisionei of
ali the parties are those which have or
ganized and chartered vessels. As rule
these have taken the precautions to ar
range in advance ways to mbat possible
emergencies and carry the members
through all kinds of hardship. The par

tation over The divide have found that
unless they wish to brave the perils OF the
unknown without guide or definite idea
of the necessary knowledge required TO
assure safe passage, they must wait for
weeks before contn nuing their journey.
Plenty OF these persons are beginning to
realize that not before next spring will
they see the headwaters of the Yukon.
This will be the experience Of at least
30 per cent of the persons now on the
water on their way to the Klondike. Now
what will be the result? On this point at
