After having only As hours notice, A.
La Fava, the veteran mining man,
packed up his bedding and a few tools
last night and joined the procession of
goldseekers who are now en- route to
the Klondyke gold fields in Alaska.
Mr.. La Fava goes to the far north in
the. interest of a strong local syndicate,
which is very largely comprised of ex-
perienced mining men, and there is ev-
cry reason to believe that he will sue
coed in that treasure-laden country if
anyone will, as he is Injured to hard
ships and vicissitudes of every descrip-
ton, besides which he is one Of the best
posted mining men TO be found in this
western country, while his integrity is
undoubted.
Mr. La Fava is only one day behind
c. L. Preble and W. D. Yingst, who
left for Portland Friday night and who
expect to sail on the 18th inst, so that
it is likely that these three Salt Lakers
viii have for company a number of
Colorado friends who passed through
Salt Lake on Friday of this week.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Las4Fava 10
outfit at Juneau, and there he will lay
in a goodly store of supplies, as he
proposes TO go into the gold diggings
thoroughly equipped with everything
necessary to the success of the enter
prise.
From Juneau Mr.. La Fava is unde-
cided as 10 what route he viii take TO
the klondyke, but it is more than likely
that it Will be the overland road that
he viii choose, as he is of the opinion
that even if there is snow ii viii be a
dry snow, which will be more desirable
than the wet and slush incident to
spring travel At any rate, he will be
among the first to pitch his tent in the
great gold camp, and ii viii be no sum-
mer outing tent, either, as he is taking
with him 60-ounce duck canvass from
which he viii construct a shelter when
desired He is an old hand at this
business and viii be able to push his
way through when others less used TO
inclement weather and steep and
mountainous roads and paths would
fail
In this enterprise Mr.. La Fava will
paddle his own canoe" as he viii have
no partner or special companion, and it
is likely that he may push on ahead of
the procession and be among the first
of the newcomers TO enter the marvel
ousiy rich diggings of the Klondyke
region.
WILL WRITE FOR THE HERALD.
Mr. La Fava has kindly consented to
correspond for The Herald during his
absence, and whatever he writes may
be taken as gospel truth, as his word
has always been as good as his bond.
In starting out on this enterprise he
has unbounded faith in its ultimate
outcome, as he is satisfied that the
yellow metal exists in quantities cor
responding with the reports sent out by

A Large Increase In the Member

The Amalgamated Woodworkers' Union
met last evening at 1859 Mission street
and several new mem bers were initiated.
For the past five or six weeks this has
been one of the pleasing tasks of the OIL
GERS, for new mem bers have been coming
in at the rate of from one to half dozen
a night.
This condition of affairs has been
brought about by the efforts of the union
to improve the condition Of the working
men of the craft, which comprise furni-
ture-workers, sash and door workers, etc.
The first business brought up last even
ing was the consideration of q resolution
presented by representative of the Ex-
aminer, who in the interest of his paper
sought to have the members of the union
condemn The CALL as being unfriendly TO
the Ia boring classes.
The president politely replied that the
mem ber5 of the union had not informed
themselves as to the merits of the case,
and therefore would not take any action
in the premises. The union would not
hesitate to go on record where any wrong
had been intended. but it would not take
up anything with which it is not familiar.
The ready made resolution did not pass.

PORT 70wNSEAD'S MISSING CRAFT.
Revenue Cutters Complete Futile
Search for the Schooner

PORT TOWNSEND. WASH, March q
The continued absence of the schooner
Aida from China for this port prompts the
belief that the vessel has been wrecked
and is now a derehct floating aimlessly
about in the open ocean. Such may be
the case, but there is one thing certain
the vessel is nowhere in the vicinity of
the Straits of Juan de Fuca. This has
been proven conclusively by the work of
the revenue cutters Grant and Perry, both
of which, at the solicitation of the
Port Townsend Chamber of Commerce,
were sent by the Treasury Department to
search for the Aida.
The Perry made a careful scrutiny of
the coast line down as far as the Colum-
bIa River, and then came back on zigzag
course we'll out at sea. The Grant went
north to the upper end of Vancouver
Island, searching the coast on the way up.
From Cape Scott the cutter began a voy-
age which makes the chart on W hich the
courses were kept look ike spiderweb.
The vessels covered 1900 miles in this
crisscross and circular steaming, well
away from The beaten path of regular
vessels Steam and sailing craft of all
sizes and descriptions and from all points
of the compass were spoken, but none
knew anything about the overdue
schooner. That something has happened
to the pretty vessel, famed for quick trips

Mrs. M. L. Cooper, the president, in her

expressed regret that those who con-
tribute to maintain the shelter do not

how their money is spent. The presi-

From the reports Of Mrs. G. f. Richard

appeared that during the year there were
four deaths in the shelter; that there had
been quite a number of cases OF measles,
but all had recovered; that The old
wooden bedsteads had been replaced by
iron cribs and new bed clio thing furnished /;
that the directors had compromised with

ent in the ante-room and made an inef-
fectual effort to have the organization
pass resolutions already prepared and
carried IN stock BY that paper condemning
THE CALL as unfriendly TO the working
classes.
The secretary stated that the union
would not consider such proposition for
a minute.
The CALL in the past has been friendly
and fair in its reports of union matters.
ana so far there was no reason for sup
posing that it had changed its attitude
toward those who earned their living by
their hands. Moreover, any grievance
that the union would consider would have
to come through the regular channel-the
central body.
He further said that the misunder-
standing of several labor unions had been
fully explained by the knowledge that
some resolutions had been unavoidably
crowded out and only the gist OF them had
appeared.
The ready-made resolution failed to
pass
