first train from the north, which ar
rived at the resort about 10 o'clock, &C

states that a good feeling is prevalent
towards Castillo. and he believes it will

the United States by defeating W. V

Will Wait Until Spring.

Washington. Aug. 26.-The geological
survey will not send a party into the
Klondike country until next spring.
An appropriation of $1,000 is available,
but this came too late for use before
spring. Before that time it is antici-
pated that congress will make much
larger. appropriation. probably $4,000.
SO that five parties from the geological
survey may be equipped next spring.
The bureau of labor has not yet
heard officially from its expert who
has gone to the Klondike to investi-
gate the labor conditions. He has been
gone month. and is thought to be
well along the Yukon by this time. A
private letter from him makes no ref
erence to the congested condition of
labor that had been reported from the
points leading TO the gold country.
