Washington, July % (SpeciaD.-The Clondyke

stationed in Alaskan waters. Recent letters re-
ceived here from the commanders Of two of the
Behrtng Sea cruisers tell of the wonderful discovery
and the intense excitement created. Captain
Hooper commanding the entire feet and Captain
Tuttle. Of the Bear. both write that II they
twenty years younger they would resign their COM
missions and proceed at once 20 the new Eldorado.
Captain Tutte writes follows to Captain Shoe
maker of the cutter service here. under date Of
June 80, at st. Michaers: IF / were twenty years
younger than l am should resign and set off at
once for the Yukon. The days Of AZ are not in it with
the Yukon. l have personally a who
year a deckhand a Yukon steamer, who
last winter went 10 the mines and entered upon the
mining He leaves on the steamer for San Fran
cisco with $4,000 in nuggets all of which he picked
out Of one hole at Clondyke, and he Is only of
hundreds just as fortunate as himself 1t makes me
feel tired"
Captain Hooper has this say in a letter written
also TO Captain Shoemaker under date OF July at
cnalaska: The reports from the Yukon sound like
lairy tales | would not believe them only have

mas larger quantities OF silver than that mined In
ayers will yield about SIS to the ounce. whereas the
California gold yields sS All silver, Mr.. Preston
sys In the gold will be paid for in silver as Is the
