MORE NOTES OF WARMING
The miners assigned as their reason
for their reticence that in their opin-
len tco much had already been said
about the country and that too MANY
were going into it unprepared ON that
account

CLOSING OF STORES
Mr.. Sloss says that his company's store
at Dawson was closed for but one day 20
transfer freight from a river boat. He
thinks that provisions will be scarce but
hesitated to say that there will BE- actual
starvation There are about 800 impatient
miners at st. Mlchaels, most of whom
viii have to stay until spring unless they
have already secured passage on the river
boats. There are plenty of provisions at
st. M!caaels and every effort u being
made to set supplies up the river to Daw-
son. 1t is difficult to say how much sold
hz-
miners are secretive and viii give no. &C
curate information. Some OF them, 1t is
known, did not bring much and will be
CAD to go to work down here. The Alas
ka Commercial company received a large
consignment of treasure, but viii not say
exactly how much When asked as TO the
amount, M. Sloss said; we brought
more than came down on the Portland,
and we did not need Maxim guns or y
revenue cutter to protect US"
CERTAIN RUMORs DENIED.
When the vessel left St Mlchaels the
steamship Hugnboldt's crown was camped
on the fats They were a very disap-
pointed lot. for none of them win get
through. The story that the passengers
held an Indignation meeting and We're go
ing to lynch ex-Mayor Woods of Seattle
is denied The Hunboldt's passengers
were VelV much put out at the poor show
offered for getting to the Klondske, but
they had made up their minds to make
the best of the situation and hold down
( the flats until next spring, when the
water is high il the Yukon. River pilots
reported water very low in the river some
time before the Weare sailed from Daw-
son. but some weeks after that the water
raised little and the early rains Swelled
the torrents considerably. However, the
water was still at what is called "the
low stage" which means that the Hamil-
ton, Belle and other steamers will be de-
| layed on their trips up stream. because
of the necessity of going ahead slowly,
picking away over the bars and through
new channels. The passengers brought
people in Dawson and near there, but the
| Alaska Commercial company's agents es-
, tfmated that there are only about 5000
have arrived at the town since last April
! from all parts of Alaska and about soc
! from Juneau, from Puget Sound and
! other places.
