ELLSWORTH celebrated Uncle Sans indie
pendence Day on Monday. There was
the usual noisy demonstration, beginning
long before sunrise-in fact, there were a
lew unholy sputterings on Sunday and
lasting until long after midnight of the
Fifth.
The programme formally announced
that the fun would begin with the ring
Ing of bells at sunrise The sun must
have been little behind Monday morn
ing. The night or morning, was, how
ever, little more quiet than usual,
the two day holiday the tiremen at the
factories and mills had drawn their fires,
ana whistles were silent, much to the dis
gust OF patriotic but noisy young
America. The tiny whistle OF the merry
go-round piped up a thin and lonely
sound, which gave but weak expression
to the patriotism bubbling in the breast
OF The boy who pulled the cord. Yes, it
was quiet morning-that is, quiet for
Ellsworth.
There WAS generous display Of bunt-
ing in the city. Nearly all the stores.
ana many private houses made some
sho" OF the national colors. Notable
decorat ions OF business places were those
OF the FIRST National bank, the American

nation of medicines that not only completely
restored the general health, but enlarged his

which place the Hudson Bay steamer is
taken to the head of navigation of the
Stikeen River From that point the Gov
eminent has cut trail to point on the
Yukon River below the rapids. The route
is said to be popular with many.

Others were all called by their Christian

"a strange thing about his early life is
that his ambition was TO be great

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, July 1S.-As
consequence of the reports OF unprece-
dented riches in the Klondyke district,
every able-bodied man in this section who
can scrape together enough to pay ex-
penses is going north. The steamship AL
Ki, which sailed at midnight, was loaded
to its fullest ca paclty with miners and out
fits, all with Ell Dorado Creek as their
common destination. The crowd going
from here is in marked contrast to the
general throng in point of equipment, not
single man leaving without provisions
enough for years stay, aside from some
ready cash.
The craze is making deep tnroads into
the ranks of the Puget Sound Tugboat
Company S EN- ployes, the departing throng
including masters as we'll as deckhands.
Manager John B. Libby will probably go
to st. Nj ichaels on the next boat to look
over the field with view to esta ablishing
an opposition steam boat line on the river.
Captain James Carroll of the excursion
steamship Queen will leave that vessel on
its next trip to the north, and, in com
pany with his son, who is now purser of
the Queen, will go to the new diggings.
Reports brought by the Queen to-day
deny the exaggerated stories about Juneau
merchants closing up to go to the Klon-
dyke. although thu exodus is general.
The enthusiasm here may be judged
from the tugboat company contingent,
which includes men who relinquished
$3.50 month jobs to WOO the tickle god
dess in the Klondyke.

+. G. H. Bowker, one of the fortunate
treasure-seekers just returned from the
Klondyke, gave some new and very in
teresting info rmation concerning the
country and its riches to CALL reporter
last night. Bonanza Creek, along the
banks OF which some OF the best claims
are located, is from thirty to thlrty-hve
miles long, and practically all OF the
ground bordering it and its several
branches has been prospected and taken
up. On Ell Dorado Creek the claims are
mum bered from No. at the mouth on up
to the very head. As rule the claims
have a frontage of 500 feet on both sides
of the stream and run back to what Is
called trim rock where the ridge prop
erly begins its rise. Extra width OF the
creek bottom is allowed for by making the
claim narrower, so that as rule they are
of about the same area - on the low
ground.
