Seattle. October S.-Ths steamer Rosa
lie arrived here tonight from skaguay
and Dyea. Alaska. The Rosalie brought
down 139 passengers. most OF them COM
ing from Skaguay. Among the passen-
gers were six from Dawson City. who
came out over the Dalton trail. They
were Pat Calvin and wife, Chas. Thebo,
c. F. Garrish. c. F. Davis and man
named Bede. They had about $1,000
in nuggets among them. They left Daw-
son August 9. and arrived at Haines Ms
sion September Q. They report that rich
strikes have been made ON Hunl1er creek,
which is as rich as Bonanza or Eldorado.

any estimate ever made.

at Skaguay. Many Of the miners have
completed the building OF cabins in which
to winter. and others are caching their
supplies preparatory to leaving them

try the pass.

previous reports as to the limited supply
Of provisions at that place. but they
do not think serious suffering will result
in consequence OF the shortage. ". H

spondent Of the Associated Press, said;

fering at Dawson this winter, yet some

stock OF provisions brought in this sum-
ner was no larger than that brought in
last year. while the population has greatly
increased. Only those who had given
orders for grub" etc. prior to August
II will succeed in getting them filled at
the company's store.
There mas been considerable sickness
at Dawson this summer. Eighteen per-
sons have died from fever and expo

This Connection 1t May Be Said

That an advertisement containing the
fewest words is often the most striking,
and that the most grammatical is not
always the most attractive. Common
sense and truthfulness should be
kept in mind The ad that is the best
in all respects, the most striking; origi-
nal and most likely to carry conviction
with it, will win the prize. Competitors
will bear in mind that the "ad" should
be prepared as though it were to be
used in New York papers for the pur-
pose Of attracting factories or residents
to Rock Island. The "ad" is to be what
is know as a display advertisement in
other words one to be set in large bold
type to attract attention.
