held out by Frank Cryder, and old 4u-
koner, Who came out on the HUMBOLDT
and who to-day gave out an important
Interview concerning the country. Cryder
has been in the north for five years. He
does not believe there will be any deaths
from starvation. though he agrees that
food Will be scarce and the average m fner's
table viii not groan under a tempting
variety of dishes. Lack Of shelter he con-
s.ders even more to be dreaded this winter
than famine.
As to the mining outlook, he declares
t. at $25 00G, coo will be taken out this
win ter from the claims on Bonanza and
EI Dorado creeks, while from the Birch,
Miller and Munook districts will be
washed about $200, O00 This is the esti-
mate of a man who has been north long
enough to have a clear idea OF what he
speaks of, and his Conservatism on gen.
eral subjects would seem to indicate that
his calculation of $25, 900, 900 would fall
short rather than be above the realization.
Cryder has an interest in a claim on the
Upper E Dorado. and on his way out this
fall located claim No. 81 on Hunter Creek,
Munook district, and secured two town
lots in Rampant City.
There is no sense in becoming alarmed
over the prospect of a food shortage in the
klondike," he said to-day to THE CALL
CORES sponGent. The fact that the COM
pany stores in Dawson have been closed
has not such an awful significance as
Nigh al first thought be imagined They

would attempt to make fortunes off the

make the miners desperate and the stores
had nothing to sell the speculator could
have things his own way. Ii is not
proposed TO allow this. The miners have
determined that any man selling food
must do so at company prices. These are
fixed and Will not be allowed to go higher.
Where so many people are together and
can interchange, food goes long way.

that inasmuch as some of the water front

in reference to the killing of its subjects

HAZLETON, Pa, Sept. A.-Despite
variety of alarming rumors and morning
movement by a body of miners which
looked formidable to-day passed without
serious disturbance in the strike region.
Matters wear such an uncertain aspect,
however, that General Goblin declares that
the removal OF the troops or any portion
of them has not been contemplated. The
strike itself is spreading with great rapid

Chicago coal operator. who has been such
a prominent figure in the coal strike, and
Captain John J. Steytler, the Mononga-

The affair occurred i'll the lobby of the

had been snubbed by the PhiIadelphians,

them. The local police are interested in
finding the cracksmen because it is prob
able that they operated with success on
several sales in this city. Churchill has
been working on the case with the hope of
fastening the crime on the men.
The story is that two men arrived a st.
Michael on steamer from San Francisco.
They announced that they were among
the army of gold-hunters bound for the
interior No more attention was paid TO
them han to the hundreds of others then
at St. Michael. They had no outfits, but
ii is believed each was well supplied with
safe-cracking tools. The men loafed about
St. Michael, presumably waiting 10 get up
the river, but in reality, Churchill says
spent their time learning the ms and outs
of the transpor tation company's affairs.
Shortly before the steamer Cleveland
left ST. Michael on her recent trip to the
sound the store of the North American
TRANSPORTATION and Trading Company was
entered at night by cracksmen, and when
the ST. Michael representatives OF the
company put in an appearance in the
morning they found the big outer doors
OF the safe open, and saw that good prog
ress had been made toward opening the
inner doors. Drills had been used, and
the work was that of experts.
Those who Investigated the case say
there is no doubt that daylight interfered
with the work OF the cracksmen and COM
pelIed them to depart without the fortune.
Had they succeeded in getting the inner
door open there would have been gold
galore for them. How they would have
gotten away with ii is a mystery. Church
i'll saws that suspicion fell upon the two
San Francisco men. Their presence and
actions had excited some suspicion, and
after the safe was cracked they were
watched night and day. They told several
men who talked with them that they had
CHANGED their minds about going to D1w-
son City. They took passage on the South
Coast for the States.
Churcaill came down on the Cleveland
and at once notified th' local police.
Since then a search for the two men has
been in progress. The matter has been
kept remarkably quiet, and 1t is now
thought that the work OF the crooks was
in a measure responsible for the departure
for St. Michael of Charles H Hamilton,
secretary of the North American Trans
portation and Trading Company. he
went on the Portland.

doctors and all the celebrated Asthma
cures did not give me even temporary
relief. I used six $500 bottles of one

in using BRAZILIAN Balm. That was in
