THE KLoNDYKE GOLD MINES.


SEATTLE, WaSn., july 19.-I am
appalled, at the prospect" said Joseph
Ladue, the founder of Dawson City.
Everybody seems to be gold mad,
and If one-third of those who have
talked about going to Klondyke reach
there, death in its most horrible form
will surely follow. To go into a coun-
try at this season of the year, where
suffering and privation is always the
rule and not the exception, is sheer
madness.
"Candidly, something should be
done to stop 1t. Not only will this
influx of new people be disastrous to
themselves, but will be equally fatal
to the 5000 or more men and women
already scattered over the district. 1t
would seem, however, that the pros
pect of death by starvation has no
terrors for a gold-hungry crowd.
eff this rush keeps up there will be
10000 new men in the field by Septem-
Der 1st. I understand that 5000 tons
of provisions will be shipped to st.
Michaels this season, but not more
than 5000 tons will reach Dawson
City. That is hardly enough to keep
the people alive who are already
there.
ST can only say n thing. If the
people insist on going now, I implore
them to take along enough provisions
to last during the winter. There will
be food in plenty at st. Michaels, but
that is 1000 miles from Dawson City,
and it might just as well be in Japan
for all the good it will do the people
in the Klondyke.
81 don't think / ever saw just such
a craze. Why, the people n worse
than those at Circle City and Forty
Mile. Neither the storms nor the
SHOWS nor the almost absolute GER
tainty of starvation, all almost insur-
mountable barriers, seem to affect the
mad, gold struck throng. / am hon.
estly sorry that 1 ever said anything
about the riches of Klondyke. 1 now,
however, strongly advise the people
to wait until spring. That is the time
for them to 60 to Alaska. There will
be plenty of provisions on hand, and
the greatest danger of the regions
starvation-will be overcome"
STAMPEDE TO THE NEW DIGGINGs.
PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, July 49,
The excursion steamer Queen has ar
rived from Alaska with 40 passen-
gers, principally tourists. The officers
of the Queen state that the merchants
and tradesmen in both Juneau andSit-
ka are closing their stores and shops,
and fastening to the new Ell Dorado.
Fifty business men left Juneau for
Dawson City on July -, and 100
would leave on the 10th, two days af-
ter the Queen sailed. The officers say
that by the time the Queen returns to
juneau on her return trip, nine days
hence, there will not be an able
bodied man left in town. Many men
are leaving Juneau for the gold fields
without provisions or means to buy
them.
The steamer AL XII sailed for Alaska
at midnight. She carried forty horses
and 1000 sheep for Dyea, where they
will be landed and driven across the
summit to the Yukon Valley. Stock
men say the sheep are the finest band
ever collected off Eastern Washington
ranges. They will be taken to Circle
City and Klondyke, and slaughtered.
Any kind of fresh meat there sells at
SOC per pound.

DID YOU ever stop to think what in.

Did you ever stop to think what in
digestion really means? 1t means
simply that your stomach is tired. II
our legs are tired, we ride. The horse

not give your stomach q ride; that Is,
let something else do its work. Foods

Treating the Wrong Disease.

Many times women call on their
family physicians, suffering, a they
imagine, one from dyspepsia, another
from heart disease, another from liver
or kidney disease, another from ner-
vous exhaustion or prostration, an
other with pain here and there, and
in this way they all present alike to
themselves and their easy-going and
Indifferent, or over-busyd doctor, sepa-
rate and distinct diseases, for which
he ~prescribes his pills and potions,
assuming them to be such, when, in
reality, they are only symptoms caused
by some womb disease. The physician
ignorant of the caase of suffering, en-
courages his practice until large bills
are made. The suffering patient gets
no better, but probably worse, by
reason of the delay, wrong treatment
and consequent complications. A
proper medicine, like DR.. Pierce's
Favorlte Prescription, directed to the
cause would entirely remove the dis
ease, thereby dispelling all those dis
tressing symptoms, and instituting
comfort instead of prolonged misery.
Ferris & Cauthorn will give one Of
their Cracker Jack road wagons away

inn
