IT HAS STRUCK BOSTON.
Citizens OF the Hub Discussing
Plans by Which They May
Reach Alaska

BOSTON, Mass, July pa party of
twelve prominent professional men of
Providence, R. l., have become enamored
of Alaska and its gold diggings and have
had several meetings to discuss the mat
ter during the past week. A meeting was
held last night in the ton floor OF the
Bannigan building, and although nothing
definite in regard to plans was arranged,
it was decided, that they should form a
stock con pany, the stock TO be taken by
them selves and other wealthy gentlemen
in this city, and that a small steamship
would be purchased for the conveyance of
the party and its supplies 10 the Klonuyke
gold fields, and thereafter to make regu-
lar trips on the Yukon River from Seattle.
Wesley E. Barrows, a blueprlnter in
the Bannigan building, is one of the
prominent movers. Mr.. Barrows was
seen this morning by a CALL man, but
would say nothing more than has been
mentioned. Another meeting will be held
within a few days at the same place.

confscated it about four hours before the
sailing.
And then the regulations are not en-
forced with unreasonable striugency, and
a good deal OF whisky gets in legitim ately
"for medicip al purposes" Collector
Moore at Sitka, the head of the customs
service in Alaska, was removed about six
months ago, and the newspaper dispatches
rumored that it was because he allowed
too much liquor entry "for medicinal
uses"
Every vessel that leaves San Francisco
for Alaska takes along some liquor by per-
mission Of the Collector OF Customs.
There are now deputy collectors or in
spectors al the following points in Alaska:
Silka, Juneau, Wrangel, Mary Island,
Kodiak, Unal, Cooks Inlet, st. Michael
Island, Unga and Karluk. In view of the
stringent regulations it is odd to read in
the Alaska Record of recent date that
since the Yukon rush had doomed the
saloon business at Juneau the saloon
keepers there have been discussing the
sending of delegate to Washington to get
the Treasury Department to loosen UP a
little more on the annoying regulations
and $500 was subscribed by some of
them. The Record advises, editorially,
that it would be a useless mission, as
there would be the strong opposition of
temperance influences in the States to
meet At Circle City, before it was de-
populated by Dawson, the liquors 'for
medicinal use" were dispensed 10 patients

The Alaskan hostility to these regula-
tions is intense and there is somewhat
humorous demand for ''local option
The Dominion Govern ment, which
rules the Klondyke, permits the sale of
liquor, but is supposed to condition it on
the vender being reputable and decent
sort of fellow. 1t has issued permission
for the entry Of over 1900 gallons of
liquors into Dawson this year.

the Northwestern Transportation and

THE RICH AMERICAN.
A Yukoner Of Experience Found
Nearly Pure Cola on Ameri-
can Cree In Alaska,

II. G. Anderson, who, with A. D. Gray
and half dozen other Klondyke miners,
is at the Golden West Hotel, says nobody
will lose anything by waiting till spring
10 go TO he new diggings.
Anderson has been credited with bring
ing $50 900 in gold out OF the Northwest
Territory and Gray $50, 600, but he does
not wish to be quoted as to the amount.
He formerly lived in San Francisco and
also in Seattle. He was two years in the
employ of the North American Transpor-
tation and Trading Company in the
YUKON and few months ago quit to To-
cate a claim on the Klondyke.
II lived in a tent last winter" he said.
II did not get in soon enough to build a
cabin as the others did. We put in our
time burning wood fires and digging and

would start the fires gong at about 8
O'Clock at night and in the morning,
after the fire bad burned all night, we

STRONG MEN ALL RIGHT.
A Springfield. Prospector Who
Says Such Need Not Be
Afraid

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. July 29.-Letters
were received here to-day from three
Springfield prospectors-J. r. Fitzgerald.
Will Berg and Tom o. 8rien, who left last
spring for tie Klondyke gold fields, giving
reliable account OF the state of affairs
there. Fitzgerald says that boat which
he and two companions had built was
wrecked while on the trip to Dawson City,
and they lost everything they had, but
he had some friends connected with the
Alaska Commercial Company and went
to work at $40 a day as soon as he got
there
He says the most dangerous places are
the canyon of White Horse Rapids and
Lead River many people being drowned
al those places. Regarding the trip Berg
says:
"We had fine trip in here, for il was
not cold and l didn't see hards ship about
ii. Part of the trail was hard, but after
we struck the river it was easy enough.
The hardships and cold are all news
papers wind; good strong men need not
be afraid.
The river was not without danger but
that made it exciting, and it was grand.
There were four of US in the boat, with
but one and a half tons altogether. 1t

don't seem to mind 1t much, and as a
number wintered in tents last winter
guess l can stand it in log cabin"
Fitzgerald says that reports as to the
richness of the Klondyke field have no.
been exaggerated and that he knows of as
high as $500 worth of dust being taken
out of a single pan, while some claims
now pay as high as $12, 900 to SIS. 000 day.
The pros pectors are locating new claims
every day, and these seem to be paying as
well as the old He says miners frequently
come down from the diggings loaded with
sacks of dust weighing from one to 800
pounds. One Eastern young man sold his
claim for $4,000 and died of heart dis
ease just before he was about to board the
steamer or his return trip

city prospected the Yukon side of the
river ten years ago, near to the summit,
and that if he had passed around the sum-
nit he would have discovered the Klon-
