600 This Winter in the kIondike.
Tacoma, Wash, Dec. 27.-The steam
er Farallou arrived Sunday, bringing
news that John Mcpherson and three
others arrived at Skaguay direct from
Dawson City November 7. Matters were
then quiet in the Klondfke, and prepare
tions for an active winters work and
consequent large gold production were
in progress. Supplies were being hauled
from the Dawson City warehouse to the
mines, though much snow was needed
TO make hauling easy. Prospects were
never better along Bonanza, Hunker,
Bear and other creeks, and an output
OF S10,O00,OO0 in gold this winter was
considered certain in spite of the food
shortage. McPberson's party says there
will be no starvation there. Some fore
sighted miners have large food supplies,
and will share with the others before
starvation occurs
