A MAD RUSH FOR GOLD.
A Wilmington Man Writes From Seattle
About tho Excitement Over the Rich
Discoveries on Kl0ndyke River-Every.
body Wants to Go to the New EldOradO.
1t Requires $50 for the Trip

Mr.. Frank L. Meares, formerly Of
Wilmington, but now a resident of
Seattle, writes to a friend under date
of July 18th, the following interesting
letter oncerning the Alaska gold fever:
1.-THE greatest excitement has pre-
vailed here for the past two or three
days owing to the arrival Of the steam
a million dollars in gold dust from the
mines. About ten days g another
steamer went through to San Fran
cisco with over $780, 900 in gold dust,
but not until the Portland come in
here, have the people realized the Won
derful wealth accumulated by these
fortunate miners in a few months, and
given way to the intense excitement
that such things, naturally, produce.
To say that every one is excited puts
hardly conveys the true condition. Men
women and children think or talk Of
nothing else.
"A large number left yesterday on
| one of the steamers for the gold fields
and many more are preparing to go.
This exodus is not confined to those
who simply fly to new fields Of work
Whenever Oil OppOIIuAlly OllcIS AISSll,
for this trip cannot be undertaken ex-
cept at considerable expense and with
great hardships while living in this
modern Ell Dorado.
"The trip costs $500, hat is. you are
obliged to take with you focd and
clothing to last at least a year., and the
physical h%ardships to be endured in
making the trip are something awful
but others Ia gone and made for
tunes-why not those who are here?
Lawyers, physicians, merchants, clerks
and all classes of working men have
the fever and are preparing to go,
who can afford to make the start or
who a get others to 'grub-stake'
them. If the conditions were different
that is, if the trials and expense of
reaching the gold fields were not so
great, the Pacific slope from Victoria
to Vera Cruz would sOon be on it's way
to Alaska. These finds are on the
Klondyke rive in Northwest Territory,
B. c., but all through Alaska these
riches seem to exist and the whole
country up there seems to be a verita-
BILE gold mine."

This was carried

tor Dy morning.. IHIS Was Cdiif0A
unanimously.
Tonight General Little and Judge
Owens are in secret conference at the
Duquesne Club with Secretary William
Warner and Organizer Cameron MIL
Ter. Nothing definite can be learned as
to the subject under discussion, but 1t
is believed it has reference to having
the miners represented at the confer
ence tomorrow as there seems to be
considerable dissatisfaction with Mr..
De Armitt's announcement oday that
the conference has no connection with
the strike and merely for the purpose
Of establishing uniformity. Many OF
the operators thing with Colonel Rend,
that the meeting should devise some
means to settle the strike as we'll as to
provide for uniformity.
Reports to the miners officials from
throughout the district show every
thing quiet. AL plans are being held
in allegiance pending the action Of the
conference.
Tonight General Little and others
called on Colonel Rend n his hotel and
asked that he reconsider his action n
enter the conference again to ensure
success of the meeting. He replied
that he would cordially indorse and CO.
operate in any plan h conference
agreed upon If so per cent. Of the dis
trict operators would give their con-
sent to the same. He believes it i'm
possible to secure 81 per cent. Tor uni
formity as Mr.. De Armitt demands,
and is willing to do as so per cent. of
the operators wish.
The new preamble to the old Uniform
ity agreement relates to the existing
condition Of affairs in the Pittsburg
district and the lack Of profit there Is
in the coal trade. 1t states that uni
formity If properly and promptly avail
ed of, will settle these differences to a
large extent AND correct the abuses to
a degree not hithertO attainable.
