washington. Sept, 2.-John F. Brady,
governor OF Alaska, has sent to Secre-
tary Bliss a personal letter, in which
he gives some interesting facts about
the rush for the Klondike region. Gov
ernor Brady has been identified with
Alaskan interests most of his life and
is believed to be conservative in his
opinions. Writing from Juneau he
says:
Steamships are passing daily for
Dyea and Skaguay, loaded to the ut
most with passengers and supplies.
The news just from Klondike by re-
liable men is calculated to raise the
excitement to q higher pitch The
shipment of dust from the mouth OF
the Yukon will be all Of two and one
half tons. Rich finds have been made
well upon the sides of the mountains,
and the old saying that Gold is where
you find it ard silver runs in veins,
seems TO be emphasized in that district.
A conservative estimate is that there
are 5000 men at Skaguay along the
trail in the White pass But a few
only have gone over this pass with
their supplies, and only a small per
cent of the number can cross The
men who are coming are fine fellows
and L greatly admire them
