THE RUSH FOR THE NEW FIELDS
INCREASING.
Quality of the Metal Said to Be Somewhat
Inferior to That Extracted
From the Mines Of
California.

More gold-the stream of yellow metal
keeps pouring down from the mysterious
north country. And still the wonder and
the excitement grow.
The steamer UmatilIa arrived yesterday
with another delegation OF miners who
have grown stoop- shouldered carrying
their suddenly acquired wealth.
The excitement increases with every
day, and the office o3 the Alaska Com
mercial Company is besieged by men who
in vain seek for passage by he Excelsior,
the steamer sailing on "Wednesday next.
The books closed at 9 o'clock yesterday
morning, there being more than enough
people waiting at the ticket window when
it was opened to take up ali the remain
ing berths. There were more than 800
people who applied during the day, after
the last berth was AIKEN, who came with
their $3.50 passage money in their pockets.
The number of applicants has increased
from day to day, indicating the strength
ening of the roots of the malady. With
the first spread of the news of the big
strike there followed a scramble for infor-
nation and another scram N Bile for means
and p gathering together of funds. This
has taken time, and the time has lett
many to wait over for the next steamer or
to take the trip overland. That great
mum bers will take this latter hazardous
passage there is no doubt
1t is said the gold brought down from
the new diggings is not of the quality of
the California ar ticle and does not there
fore weigh in for so much at the Mint.

TO reach The new FL Dorado. The accom-
modation on the Excelsior is exhausted
and the Portland will not carry a third of
the people who want TO reach Dawson
CITY from Seattle. In consequence small
steamers with light draft are in demand.
Yesterday a. N. Speck, the real estate
man, made "a tour of the water front in
company with Chief Whartnger Root III
search of 100 ton steamer. He failed to
find what he wanted, and will visit Oak
land Greek in continuation of his search
this morning. He and party of friends
have formed a close corporation, and they
intend to reach Dawson City before the
winter sets in.
Another party is also in search of q
small steamer. They are each to put up
$1,000 and expect to take up enough pro-
visions to last them a year. All who
charter or buy steamers, however, must
remember that anything drawing more
than feet inches of water will have a
mighty poor chance OF reaching Circle
City, let alone Dawson. While almost
the entire length of the river from its
mouth to the new E., Dorado is from 20 to
40 feet deep, still there are innumerabls
sand bars on which there is very little
water. As these are not buoyed,- stran-
ger is liza BILE to run his vessel on one of
them, and there she might stick until the
river rises in the spring after the snow
and ice melt. Still the chances are tn at
at least half a dozen expeditions bound
for Dawson City direct Will leave this port

people there to meet her. Everybody ex-
pected the Alaska miners, but all were
disappointed. as only two of the men who
had made fortunes on the Kondyke River
came down on her. The others took The
trains and have scattered to all quarters
of the compass. Ii The UmatIIla did not
bring many miners she nevertheless
brought gold and concentrates valued at
$l67, 1873. or this sum $137 923 came from
the Klondyke River district and the re-
mainu er from the mines at Sumdum.
The gold from the new E. Dorado came
in q packages and some OF them were very
strange. The dust was all done up in
what looked like long stockings. These
were made out of tanned reindeer hide
and were stitched and restitched in order
to prevent the escape of the precious
metal. The nuggets were done up in
boxes and then packed into valises. These
latter were bound about with ropes so
tightly that box and valise formed one
compact mass. 1t took Wells Fargo's
agent an hour 10 receive the gold and when
he receipt for the same was handed over
to Purser Campbell he heaved a sigh of
relief.
One OF the miners who came down on
the Umatilla was j. 6. Kelly. He is only
a bout % years old and had barely reached
his majority when he started for the
Alaskan goldhelds.
Il had hard time of ii at first" said
he, land was glad at times to do anyt thing
in order to get bread without butter.
When the Klondyke craze came l went
there and did well. Going back? You
bet l am. Next spring is early enough
for me. and this time l won't have the
hardships to undergo that had the last
time"
Mr. Kelly brought back $24 900 with him
to show for his years work in Alaska,
| When he wrote from Seattle TO his brother
in this City he made a mistake In his
figures and his relatives thought he was
brin ging down $240 600 in bullion. Later
he wired that he was coming by the
| Cleveland, and when that vessel docked
at the Mission-street wharf the brother
and guard were there to welcome the
wanderer. He was nowhere to be found,
and then a hurried visit was made TO the
! Umatilla. There the youthful miner was
found and few minutes later he was in a
| hack on his way home, while his gold was
being conveyed to Wells-Fargo's Bank.

There have been a number of peope

1t Is Not as Valuable as That Pro-
duced In This State.
Assistant Weigher w. A. Underhill of
the Selbv Smelling Company states that
the gold from the Yukon is not of 80
much value as that produced in Cali
fornia. In speaking of this matter he
said: .We have found the miners from
the Yukon a very nice class of people to
deal with, and they have not been de-
ceived in the value of the gold they have
bro ught back with them. 1t is fact
that the Yukon gold is not as valuable as
that prod uced in this State. We have
found t at there are from so to 100 points
more base metal in the northern product.
These base metals are iron, lead and a
few others and there is a large quantity
of silver also. We look principally for
the gold and silver. 1t is the iron that
gives the Yukon gold its fine rich color.
"Ot course these other metals decrease
the value little. The nuggets from the
Yukon are worth SIT and $i8 per ounce,
and the finer, the gold dust. is worth from
SIG to SIT per ounce. With the California
gold the value Is about one dollar an
ounce more. That is, nuggets run from

OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI
908 Broadway, July 81
Oakland is one OF the Jew places that
cannot be said to be afflicted with the gold
fever. Hardly anybody can be found who
has serious intention Of going to the
Klondyke.
The reason for this apathy is un-
doubtedly the severe lesson learned during
the last two years by those who went to
Alaska with something and came back
with nothing. There have been three out
bursts of gold fever in this city during the
past few years and as result there are
scores of men in town who are examples
OF unIucky miners and their influence is
felt in spite of the many glorious stories
of returned lucky diggers from the frigid
E Dorado.
Among those who are sorry they went
are Dr.. Dunn, DR.. Walker, Messrs Wise.

even the recent tales of gold have not

Manner In Which the Malls Are
Carried to and From the
Mines.
There are two mail routes from San
Francisco to the mines and In fact to the
whole of the inhabited part of Alaska.
The one by water is from San Francisco to
Oonalaska; thence TO st. Michaels, and
rhence up the Yukon River to the various
trading posts and other settlements along
the river TO Fort Selkirk, passing on the
way to Fort Yukon. Circle City, Forty
mile, Klondyke, Dawson, Sixty-mile, the
Stewart and Be aver rivers and the Pelly
River.
The mail is carried over this route by
the A aska Commercial Company, the
next batch of mail matter leaving here
next Wednesday on the steamer Ex-
celsior.
The trip from San Francisco to st.
Michaels occupies about fifteen or sixteen
about twenty-one days, making the time
for the whole trip about thirty-seven days.
The last batch of mail by this route will
leave San Francisco on Septem ber 5.
Overland by way of Juneau and Dysa
there is a monthly mail every month in
the year, bur no mail matter but letters is
taken. If the weather is bad there may
be a delay in some months in the winter
season OF few day but as general rule
the mails have been carried on this route
very regularly.
The steamer Portland, which left
Seattle on July 20, and which will leave
the same port on August 80, also carries
mail by way of st. Michaels.
The last mail leav ng San Francisco be-
tween now and next spring by wafer will
go on the Exec sior on SepIem Der 5, as
after that trip the Yukon will be frozen.
The return mail is brought to St. Mi
chaels by the river steamers in the sum-
mer while on the overland route, by way
OF Juneau, the mail is collected on the re-
turn trip of the regular monthly service
