at least 1000 wiz be obliged TO fee from
impending starvation. Up TO September 5.
when the John +. Miller party left for
Fort Yukon, new arrivals numbered from
three TO twenty per day. and there is no
doubt OF that ratio being maintained all
winter. AT least 800 men were working in
the gulches. and In the hills We're several
hundred prospectors, all OF whom knew
nothing OF the shortage and were depend
ing on the company stores for provisions.
One way OF relief Is open to the miners.
A large colony. say 500 or 1000 could winter
in safety at Circle City, 400 miles below
Dawson. and draw their supplies by dog
team from Fort Yukon. Circle City has
al least 800 houses. and is said TO be the
largest log cabin town In the world.
In the opinion OF Mr.. Miller. there will
not be starvation necessarily. but certainly
the miners will suffer extreme privation.

closed, they must remain in the country.

of Buffalo, n. Y.
Mr. GAYLORD reached st. Michael early
in August, and started for Dawson City
on the steamer Hamilton. which went
aground a few miles above the mouth OF
Munook creek. Mr.. Gaylord and several
others of the Harnilton's passengers re-
turned to the mouth Of the creek to camp
and il was there that the now f1ourishing
town called Rampant city was started.
He says the mushroom city indicates the
location of Ubiquitous dens-
Many claims have been staked of ad-
jacent 10 Rampant City. Some of which
give indications of large wealth, but the
weather for the past two months has been
so stormy as TO preclude successful pros
pecting.
The population OF Rampant City, despite
warnings that have gone out, of the I'M
possibility of getting on to Dawson, is
constantly on the increase, every incom-
ing steamer TO say nothing of sail and
row boats being loaded to their fun ca
pacity.
Mr. Gaylord says the governments de-

dius OF 100 miles will be a matter or
great satisfaction to the better class

the place. The crowd includes some dis

trouble Is brewing there that VIII be dis

East today but viii endeavor to reach
