on the British Ship

haroShlp at kotZebue Sound this year.
Many disappointed gold hunters will prob
aoly return to San Francisco, but pri-
vate advices say that the majority Of
those who went from San Francisco will
remain on the Kubuck River until next
spring at least. The banks Alaska and
Northern Light and the barkentines Jane
A. Falkenberg and Catherine Sudden are
still in Kotzebue Sound, and they will
bring back all the miners who do not like
the prospects.
The arrangements made with the men
who went up on the Jane A Falkenberg
were that we should wait a reasonable
time at Kotzebue Sound in order to bring
them back If the venture proved fizzle,"
SAID l.. E. Noonan, one Of the owners of
the barkenttne yesterday. "All the gold
hunters we took up We will bring back
free. All it will cost them will be the
price or their meals, and 1t will not cost
them that If they have their provisions
with them. All of them should be well
provided In that respect, as they took
enough with them to last them two years.
The men who went up on the Alaska and
Northern Light will be treated In the
same manner, as will also the Catherine
Suddens passengers As far, therefore,
as the people who went from San Fran
cisco are concerned, there need be not the
slightest fear, as all the vessels named
are being held up there until the very
of those who went up on them, If neces-
sary.
LAS to there being no gold UP there,
that is a question that remains to be set
tied. If there is none, then there must De
some monumental liars in this world.
I Inc tb are men men uP there now who said
that there was gold in plenty at the head
waters Of the kubuck. They backed up
their assertions by buying outfits and
paying cash for them and cash for their
passage. OF course, there will be plenty
OF men who will come back disappointed
because they could not find gold like peb
those who remain-and my son will be
among the number-will bring back diff
ferent story next year"
be seen that all those who left San Fran
cisco for Kotzebue will be able to get
back without any trouble this year if
