SEATTLE. WASH, Aug. 1.-The steam
ship Hum boldt from San Francisco passed
Port Angels at 80 this afternoon, and
will likely reach Seattle about o clock in
the m orning. 1t is expected that she will
get off for st. Michael To- morrow night.
She will take on considerable freight here
and about 120 passengers. Of this num-
ber scarcely fifteen are from Seattle and
neig boring points. They come largely
from Boston. Philadelphia, Pittsburg,
New York and other Eastern cities.
The manager of the company operating
the Hum boldtis Mayor William D. Wood.
He will accom- pany the vessel north, and
expects 10 be gone several months. At a
meeting of the City Council this evening,
Mayor Wood asked for leave of absence
for sixty days. The request was referred,
and will not be acted upon until Monday.
1t is the general opinion, however, that
the request will not be granted, in which
event the office will be declared vacant
after Mr.. Wood has been absent sixty
days. HIS term does not expire until
March next.

KLONDIKE MISSIONARIES.
Two Are Sent Out by the Presby-
terian Board OF Home
Missions

NEW YORK, N. Y, Aug. A-Tne
PRESBYTERIAN Board of Home Missions
has decided to send two missionaries to
the klondike. This is the result Of q large
mum Der OF letters from Presby yterians ask
ing that missionaries be sent.
Rev. DR.. M. j. Mcmillan, one OF the
boards secretari es. has instructed Rev. s..
Hall Young, pastor of the First Presby-
terian Church of Wooster, Ohio, and Rev.
DR.. George A. McEwen, Presby terian, of
st. Louis, to proceed at once to Alaska
1t is expected they will reach their desti-
nation before winter sets in.
Rev. DR.. Sheldon Jackson, moderator
of the Presbyterian General Asssmb bly,, is
in Alaska and pushing on toward the
Yukon, from which point he is expected
10 report to the Presbyterian home board
of the general situation. The agree ment
about the territory in Alaska which diff
ferent denomin ations should work, so as
not to conflict with each other, is still in
force, but the gold fever and consequent
extra demand in one section has led all
denominations to ignore the agreement.

the run are having more than they can
carry.
1t is conservatively estimated that be-
lore Septem Der 1 over 10 900 men will be
struggling along the passes and down the
Yukon River between Dyea and Skaguay
aud Dawson City, all bound for the coun-
try where gold nuggets are supposed to be
had by shaking them out of the moss
roofs. Up to this date 1000 pIospectors
have left Seattle for the north, 700 going
in by way of st. Michael and thencs up
the Yukon River, and the rest going in
oy way OF Dyea over the passes and. down
the Yukon to the Klondike. Over 400
horses have also been taken in 10 be use1
as pack animals between Dyea and LAKE
Linderman. 1t is estimated that by Sep
tenn Der over 6000 prospectors will have
left Seattle toT the diggings, and then
oxen, horses, mules and cows, coming
under the head of "beasts of burden" to
the number of 1766 will have been taken
into the territory by the goId-hunters.
This does not include the exodus from
California leaving San Francisco and
other California points, which will easily
run the gold on their way north
to more than 10, 600 men.
Joe Clark, an old miner and packer of
many years experience, has written TO
Colonel P. H. McKe-nan of Seattle and
his letter gives some timely advice. He
says:
There are about 5000 would-be gold seek
ers here, and they will stay here unless they
do as we have done-make pack-horses OF
their noble selves and pack their grub
over the mountain on tneiI honest backs.
There are quite a mum ber OF pack horses
here, rigged out with 'sawbucks' on their
backs. instead of 'apparajos.' There is
not pack-train worthy OF the name and
there are not a dozen good packers to be
found. Two good pack-trains, with
packers, would be godsend to the people
who are here waiting for something to
turn up. If men would turn out and fix
the trails and tramp down the snow they
would soon reach the lake and gold
fields.
Tell the people who are coming this
way that if they expect to have their out
fits packed over tho mountains on the
hurricane-deck of cayuse to put their
goods up in side packs, well dashed, or
bring gunny sacks aud cargo lashings.
All boxes should be the proper size and
heft for sldepacks and we'll lashed. 1t
would be we'll to secure the assistance OF
some old packer to put outfits in proper
shape. The Indians are refusing to carry
much OF the goods that are here unless
the packages are repacked. Most all the
boats that were shipped here will remain
here, tor it will cost more to have them
packed over the mountain than boats will
cost at the lake. This reminds me of the
Cariboo excitement, but there are more
schemers in this"

George Could Afer Irespassers on HIS
Troutfng Preserres.
KINGSTON, N. Y. Aug. 14.-George J..
Gould has begun suit against Hiram
Graham and his brother, Aaron Graham,
for trespassing on his trouting preserves
in the wilds of the Catskills. The trespass
referred to was com united by the Graham
brothers by fishing in Furlough Lake,
which is highly valued by Mr.. Gould as
his choicest preserve.
The defense is to be q general denial,
together with an allegation that Furlough
Lake, although the property of Mr.. Gould,
was originally stocked with trout by the
State OF New York, and therefore the right
to fish in its waters belongs 10 the public
The litigation is exciting great deal
of interest throughout the CatskilIs, as
upon the outcome of this case depends
the liberty OF trout fishers to a certain e1-
tent at least, the liberty of those who
yearly pay to fish in the streams and
lakes that were originally stocked by the
State, but which have since been pre-
empted by private individuals and mil.
lionaires' fishing clu bs. Ever since Gould
has owned Furlough Lake be has been
much troubled by fishermen, who, despite
the many painted signs that literally
cover Gould's preserves, have cared
naught for the threats of the kee pers en-
ployed by Mr.. Gould, allowing themselves
TO be driven away, only to return after
vigilance had ceased.

being offered. Horses are cheap in Ore
gon, and there seems 10 have spread an
idea among the ranchers that all that is
necessary to dispose of their stock and at
the same time make ''barrel of money"
is to get the horses to the head of navlga-
ton on Lynn canal, be it either at Skag-
uay or Dyea. There they are to receive
from 5000 to $500 for each animal landed,
according to his gentleness and ability to
climb and pull at the .ame time.
There have been offered on the Elder at
least 120 more horses than we coul1 poss j.
bly, accommodate" was stated at the
Office of the Pacific Coast Steamship Com
pany this morning. ut is astonishing
the demand that has been made on US for
what we might call space and every book
ing OF horses would mean the selling of a
passage either first class or steerage."

ACTIVITY AT PORTLAND.
No Abate ment In the Rush to Se-
cure Passage for Men and
HOPSaa

PORTLAND, Or, Aug. 14-The same
scene is being repeated on the AInsworth
dock to-day as that which witnessed the
last sailing of the steamer George w.
Elder. Men, horses and outfits are being
bundled about, al! with the same motive
to reach the Klondike before the rigorous
Arctic winter sets in. TEat it is reported
there are more men on the passes than
can make their way to the interior this
season, cuts no figure with the prospective
Rlondikers. They are confident in their
own nerve and ability, and as conse-
quence propose tackling the passes with
tie firm belief of their pushing through.
Beyond a doubt some will, others will
not. 1t all depends upon the quality of
the nerve and the amount OF physical en-
durance those taking passage prove to be
possessed of.

LUCK OF A BARBER.
Max Levey Sends Down a Large
Shipment of Gold From
the Klondike.

PORT TOWNSEND. WASH, Aug. IA
Among all the stories of richness that
have come from the Klendike country the
interest has not been as great as it might
have been from the fact that among the
lucky ones in first reports there were none
with whom the people here had a per-
sonal acquaintance. Now, however, there
comes a story about former Port Town
sendite who went into the wilderness With
the first rush and rose in few days from
the most abb ct poverty to riches and az
fuence. This story comes by way of Port
land in a letter to Mr.. Applestone, pro-
prietor of the Key City dye works here.
Two years ago Apples tone came here from
Portland, accom- panied by a native of Hol-
land named Max Levey, and started q
clothes cleaning and repair shop, Levey
was not m uch of tailor and soon became
dissatisfied. Stories of Alaska prosperity
drew his attention northward, and after
deciding to go to Juneau offered to take
Applestone and his son with him.
The latter declined the offer and have
remained here ever since. Levey, how
ever, went steerage to Juneau and there
opened a barber-shop, charging so cents
for shave and IS cents for haircuts. The
fellow was frugal and saved what he was
making. When, some months ago, the
news came that about $27 to the shovel
was being taken from the mines in the
Klondike Lsvey at once retired from the
tonsorial business and made tracks for the
Ell Dorado. He was among the first to
stake off claims there, and the success he
met with is evidenced by the fact that
aboard the Elder on her arrival at Portland
last Wednesday was $4,000 in gold and
nuggets consigned by Lavey to the First
National Bank of that city for deposit.
The letter says that Lsvey has been pay
ing his men, all of whom are experienced
miners, $40 day, but cannot hold them
at that figure. He tells Applestone to
send him in four or five men who will
take $50 a day for steady work, but as the
letter was written before the Klondiks
rush began the instructions were not
needed. Levey has two claims and in
tends to stay until the bottom has been
struck.

I WASHINGTON. u. c., Aug. l4.-In re.
sponse to an inquiry as to the reported
discriminating customs charges to be i'm
posed by the Canadian Government on
outfits of American miners for the Klon-
dixie arriving from Dyea and other points,
the British Charge Affaires telegraphed
the State Department from Manchester
by-the-Sea that the charges are those
authorized by the ordinary revenue law OF
Canada. No special or unusual regula-
tions were made, he says but on the
contrary, the instructions sent were to
exempt miners blankets, personal cloth
ing, broken packages OF provisions and
cooking utensils in use. TO make q food
allowance clear instructions have been
given for seasons TO the customs officer at
Tagish to exempt 100 pounds of food for
the journey. charging ordinary customs
duty only on the excess.

with horses and camping outfit and while
the sheep rest at night the sheepherders
sleep in tents. The bands are driven a bout
twelve miles apart, and MIR. Knollin ex-
poets 10 reach Kansas by October. By
driving the sheep overland instead OF
shipping them by rail the commission
merchant will save perhaps $50, 900, as the
transportation charge from Oregon to
Kansas amounts to 81 head.
