Quartz Mining More Certain.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-General w.
W. Dufield, superintendent of the coast
and geodetic survey, in discussing the
gold discoveries in Alaska, gave this ad-
vice to young men:
''If I were young man." he said, "I
should get about 75-ton schooner at
Seattle, take supplies and engage the
services of first-class prospector. Then
1 should cruise along the southeastern
part of Alaska, in what is called Alex
ander archipelago. There are number
of islands there and more gold lodes than
at any place with which 1 am acquainted.
The mining would not be 'placers,' but
the ore can be gotten out very cheaply
and being directly on the sea, the trans
portation amounts almost to nothing,
except the time spent"

Gold Dust From sawdust.

PoRT TOWNSEND, WASH, Aug. 26.-By
the schooner J. N. Colman, which ar
rived this morning from st. Michaels, it
is learned that the sealing schooner
Eppinger, from San Francisco, when
spoken July 20 had total catch of 221
skins and IL sea otter. The latter skins
are valued at $175 each. Last years
Eppinger's seal catch was 1450.
Mr.. J. Metcalf, of Detroit, Mich, who
came down from st. Michaels on the
Colman. states thai he saw man wash
$3.50 from one pan of sawdust which he
took from the floor OF barroom in Daw-
son City. 1t is SAID to be a common
practice for miners to open gold dust
bags and take out pinch of gold dust in
payment for drinks.

by newcomers. The most favorable re-
ports come from Unga, and several good
prospects have recently been reported
from other islands to the westward.
A boat leaving Dawson about the last
of July took fully two tons of gold dust,
and it is calculated that next years. out
put will far exceed that OF 1897. On the
Yukon dust is valued at $17 an once; a
bartender gets $500 per month, and no
cash register in sight.
Stewart and Indian river claims pan
out only $40 to SIS per day, so that if
they don't make better showing wages
must necessarily come down. Four
thousand dollars was contributed by the
miners in Dawson for the defense of
Birch, who is now in Sitka Jail under a
charge of murder, awaiting the fall term
of court. His brother just arrived in
Juneau, bringing the dust with him

The Brave, But Foolish,
Camped at Skaguay.
EATING WHAT THEY CANNOT CARRY
The Trail Impassable and People Are
Waiting for Someone to Pilot
Them Through.

SEATTLE, Aug. 26.-Associated Press
Juneau, Aug. 26th, confirm previous
statements regarding conditions of ingo-
ing Yukoners, their successes and their
failures in getting over the trails. At
Skaguay the trail is found in glutted
condition, no progress being made there
in going over the summit at what Is
known as White Pass, 1t having proven
complete failure this year, according to
all reports. There are now between
1000 and 5000 persons camped along the
trail between salt water and up five or
six miles. They will remain there eat
ing up their supplies until spring, or
until they make up their minds to either
go over to Dyea or return to juneau or
the states. Many have already sold out
and abandoned the trip altogether, some
gladly taking ten per cent of the original
cost of the outfits, stowl7g the money in
their pockets, and leaving that part of
the country for milder fields of opera
ton.
Those who started via Dyea or Chill
Indians are charging at present 35 cents
per pound for carrying from salt water
to the lakes. Under present conditions
1t is expected that all who are now on
that trail will safely reach Klondike be-
fore winter sets in.
News from the interior, under date of
July 24th, is a repetition of what has
haon hnfnro ~ oE
the diggings that have been worked I'D
to that date. Some less valuable finds
have been made near Stewart river.
While there is a limited amount of pro-
visions for those already at work, still if
all newcomers bring sufficient there will
be enough to go around, but it will take
good management. High, prices and
wages remain as heretofore reported.
At Juneau boats are arriving almost
every day from the Sound, bringing
from $50 to $40 passengers each. The
moment vessel is seen down near Taku
word is passed around, and a large pro-
portion of the inhabitants flock to the
wharves to greet the new arrivals. The
islander arrived from Victoria with
nearly 200 passengers August 10th, and
the Utopia from Seattle the same day
with like number.
The U. S. steamship Concord is at
present lying in port, having taken Gov
ernor Brady to various places in south
eastern Alaska, and brought him here.
She will doubtless take him to Dyea,
afterwards going back to Sitka. The
governor is thoroughly investigating
many important matters relating to the
welfare of Alaska.
The steamer Danube rather took the
law upon itself, placing the vessel in a
somewhat equivocal position, owing,
perhaps, to some misunderstanding on
the part of the master. 1t seems a per-
NIT was obtained from the deputy col
lector at Juneau for the vessel to land
her passengers at Dvea, but instead of
her doing so, she put cargo and ali off at
Skaguay, not going to Dyea at all, the
latter place being port of entry.
New customs officials are out making
"records'' at present, the scene of their
operations being Dyes. There schooner
was captured loaded with some 800 gall
Ions of Canadian whisky, which was

/ confiscated. A lot of contraband stuff
was also seized on the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company's boat Willamette.
According to recent news from the
Yukon. water has been scarce for hy-
draulic purposes, but better arrange
ments will be provided for these opera
tions next year. According to the latest
advices -four is still selling in the in
terror for Sc per eack of fifty pounds, and
like prices for other staple articles.
Miners who were employed in the
mines near Juneau and who went to the
Yukon river have had their places all
filled by recent arrivals, so that now
there is no special demand for labor
here, and it is worse than folly for man
to come to Juneau expecting to get work
during the winter months. He should
be provided with money enough to take
care of himself until spring. The prom
ised reduction in freight rates and pas
senger fare from Puget sound will prove
beneficial to all, the merchant and the
miner alike.
The weather has continued favorable
for these on the trail to made good prog.
ress, and altogether it has been an ex-
ceptionally fine season for all outdoor
operations and the weather prophets are
inclined to expect comparatively mild
winter.
As the country around Dawson is
taken up to such great distance in each
direction, it is more than likely that
many who are now on the road will pro-
ceed up to Circle City and other places
and relocate abandoned claims that have
been given up for other diggings. This
will all have tendency to populate the
American side and thus American goods
can pass through Canadian soil in bond
and no duties will be paid, and a royalty
on the gross production of the mines will
be saved to the miner. This claim for
royalty and customs duties by the Cana
vexed question, and it would seem that
some time must elapse before these mat
ters run smoothly. If that government
intends to take unto itself 'tEvery
other claim" or location, and demand
a twenty per cent royalty on all
per cent duty on al! outfits and supplies,
1t surely does not offer much induce
ment to the average prospector, who will
probably push onward until he again
reaches American soil, where he will not
be so hampered.
Rough hewn logs at Dawson for build.
ing purposes are quoted at So each and
very scarce at that price.
Ruby Sand gold diggings on the beach
at Lituya bay have given better results
than ever before, and next year greater
attention will be given to those sea
sands by others. Good reports also come
from those who have passed the season
in Cook inlet. These mines, while not
developed in so wonderful degree as at
Klondike, still give indication of great
richness in that section, although it was
ignored to considerable extent this year
