SITUATION AT DUTCH HARBoR.
BristOi's Cargo of Coal VIII Relieve
the Threatened shortage.

James :. Goldsmith has received a letter
from Secretary Charles II. Hamilton, of
the North American Transportation and
Trading Company, September -, in which
Mr.. Hamilton urges Mr.. Goldsmith to dis
suade as many people as possible from at
tempting 10 reach the Upper Yukon basin
this year. The steamer Hamilton is max
ing short trips 10 the mouth of the river
and carrying supplies for the camp that
has already been established on the beach
there. There is less water in the river than
there has ever been known before. and it
is believed ii is impossible for steamers to
go farther up than Fort Yukon. Large
crowds of men are coming down in small
boats daily 10 winter at st. Michael Peo-
pie who will attempt 10 cross by the passes
are warned against il. IL they are deter
mined Mr. Hamilton says that they must
not take less than years supplies of food.
Even then the attempt Will be at the risk
of the prospectors' lives. From indications
Mr. Hamilton does not think that much
gold VIII be brought down before the first
boats in the spring. The diggings are for
winter work and those who have supplies
will remain in the mines
At the time the plans We're ordered
changed in respect to the boat building.
and the scene of operations was removed
from St Michael 10 Dutch HaTbor. Mr..
Hamilton did not know that the Bristol,
which left Nanaimo in advance of the
Humboldt carried 2,009 tons OF coal 10
Dutch Harbor. The consequence is that
there is no likelihood OF coal shortage.

Cook Inlet people get out OF their country
by going overland on a trail about nTteen
miles long to Prince William sound and
there take the steamer 70 Juneau or Sitka.
They are all coming out 70 10 30 the
