Many Persons Leaving Stockton
for the GoldfieldS of the Far
North

STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. 3.-Numbers of
men, young aad old, are leaving this ana
adjoining counties bound for the ice-cov-
erei goldfields in the north. Yesterday
Al Brown, secretary OF the Stockton
Athletic Association and the present sim
gle-scuil amateur champion of California,
left for Seattle, en- route for the Klondy ke.
To-day Robert l.. Quisenbsry one of the
Yardley expedition that is fitting out a
steamer to run to Dawson, left for San
Francisco to leave on the steam schooner
South Coast.
Eugene A. Trefethen of Lathrop has
expedition, one OF whom is his son, who
is at present attending the University of
California. A Modesto capitalist named
HatIon has Sc cured passage for four per-
sons whom he is backing. A Mr.. Thomas,
who has been in the employ of Matteson-
Williamson Manufacturing Company,
will be one of the passengers. The Yard
ley expedition will go by the steamer as
far as st. Michaels, and thence by boat
of lighter draft to Dawson.
Another party is being organized among
the railroad employees to go to the Klon-
dyke. Several men on the road have
agreed to go and have bound themselves
by placing forfeit in the hands of the
projectors of the enterprise. A mum ber
OF others in that part oi the county known
as the West Side are Interested in the en-.

awaiting an opportunity to have their
supplies packed over the pass.
The first pack train over White Pass
was expected back at Skagaway on the day
the Queen sailed from there. Rev. Alfred
Hummer of Oakland, Cal, one of the ex.
cursionists, went ashore at Skaeaway, and
reports he was told by two men there that
it would cost $400 to have their supplies,
weighing 1000 pounds. carried over the
pass. MIR. Hummer and Captain Carroll
warn ev ry one not to attempt to enter
the Yukon country before next spring.
The captain says not even those who are
now at Skagaway ana Dyea will be able to
reach the interior his winter, principally
because supplies cannot be gotten over
the passes. Indians are hard at work
packing, and all the horses available are
pressed into service.
Men can pack, they say, but seventy
five pounds one way. and the round trip
is seventy-two miles. The situation will
be much relieved, however, when the
Al-Ki and Willamette arrive there, for the
Willamette alone will carry 800 horses
By August IL it is estimated there will be
at least 800 horses packing freight over
Chi coot and White passes. Rev. Mr.
Hummer, pastor of the First Meth
odist Church of Oakland, says
the Queen landed 200 passengers
at Skagaway, who, with the small
party left there by the AK, comprised
all the gold-seekers at the place. They
found a good place to camp, with water,
wood and mosquitoes plentiful. great
many of the men went into camp to await
their opportunity to hire men or horses
to carry their provisions over the pass.
A strong Indian can carry 100 pounds
over the pass, but the average white man
does well to carry seventy-tive pounds
Men who have been accustomed to cleri-
cal work find packing almost beyond en-
durance.

The Caspar Expedition Abandoned

Planned Daily

The steam schooner Noyo, first of the
fleet of special craft bound northward
with gold-seekers, is to leave this fore
noon with over a hundred men, adozen
women and large and picturesquey as
sorted cargo which includes about twen-
ty-fve donkeys. horses and mules.
On the Noyo go those who had engaged
passage with the rival expedition of the
Caspar, which was abandoned last night
and consolidated with that of the Noyo.
The Noyo lies at Mission-street wharf
and there was crowd and a busy scene
about her all day long. A number of
boats, all ready to put together when the
lakes beyond the pass are reached, are be-
ing taken along by little parties of men
who are travelling together. Those who
take along pack-animals and do not have
to stop to build boats will be the 'sristoc-
racy of the pass. Bags of beans, ca e after
case of canned meats, bags of dried fruits
and vegetables and oilsacks filled with

TWENTY FROM FRESNO.
A Party to Go Overland to the
klondyke Country From
Vancouver.


FRESNO, CAL, Aug. "a party of
twenty men from Fresno County will
leave tomorrow for San Francisco. where
they aill em bark in few days for Van
couver, with the intention of making the
trip overland from that place to the
Klondyke, in far away Alaska. The
names of all the mem bers of the party
which will make the perilous trip could
not be learned tonight, but among them
are J. B. Mcdonald, ]. Wilbur Cate. j. f.
Moody, Alexander Holmes, F. r. Dunlap,
o. l.. Ingels and Bert Stevens. Mr.. Inges
is the con sta BILE at Sanger, and he leaves
an excellent grocery business TO try for
the fortunes of the frozen north.
Mr.. Ca te is well-known business man
in this city, and Mr.. Moody has been
deputy in the Tax Collectors office.
From British Columbia the miners will
take a herd of horses. which will be driven
to the goldfields, where it is expected to
realize handsomely on them. The expe-
dltion will be in charge of ]. S. Mack, who
will guide the fortune seekers through the
wilds of the great Northwest Territory,
and those who will follow him place the
greatest confidence in him. fHe was for
merly in the employ of the Dominion
Government as surveyor, and knows thor
oughIy the provinces of Athabasa, Al
berta and the Peace River country, which
he traversed while engaged in making a
Typographical survey for the Government.
"This route is the easiest one If them

spondent tonight. 'The journey by way
of the Northwest Territory does not really

animals At the right time of the year
there is plenty of feed Tor the anima s and

On still another trip are the berths OF a
big regular steamer inadequate to the
Alaskan rush. The Walla Waila will sail
this morning at 9 o'clock for Seattle with
all her cabin accommodations sold two
days in advance, with many who pay
bin rates and who will eat cabin fare
sleeping in steerage hunks, and with two
connecting steamers for the north, the
Queen and the Mexico. awaiting crowds
and freight that will use every cubic yard
Of space in them.
The Noyo will sail this forenoon with
finely outtitted party of over hundred
bound to Dyea. but the Caspar expe-
dition has been abandoned. Several
other special expeditions are being pidy
arranged and fitted, so that this week will
see the departure of some hundreds for
the gold fields of the Yukon.
The Walla Walla will leave both freight
and passengers behind. The merchants
of Juneau and Seattle are pouring in i'm
mense orders for merchandise which goes
to supply the out6tting trade and there
is heavy tonnage of the Individual out
fits taken along from here. The steamer
has large passenger list of those going
of those going to the Sound only and tax
ing advantage of The cheap rates. These
demands which are filed early lessen the
room for the Yukoners and yesterday
many of those who wanted cabin had to
put up with second-class sleeping accom-
modations.
At the Pacific Coast Steamship ticket
office here passengers for Alaska are being
booked for the Queen and the Mexico,
two of the connecting steamers which run
north from Seattle. The Queen will de-
part at once on the arrival OF the Walla
Walla, being booked to leave for Juneau
and Dyea on the 7th inst. She can carry
300 cabin and 180 steerage passengers.
The Mexico will depart two days later
with 500 cabin and $50 steerage passen-
gers. The accommodations of the two
steamers have been divided between Seat
tie and San Francisco. the latter office
taking the starboard side. Those on the
passenger list yesterday who are bound
for the Yukon By The Queen, are as fol-
lows:
