BRINGS IN MILLIONS

Seattle, Wash, July 26.-The steamer
Charles Nelson has arrived here from
St. Michael with 173 passengers from
Dawson and gold dust estimated all the
way from $1,000 900 to 81, 100000.
Purser NJ. A. Tucker said: 81 believe
that one million and a half is a fair
estimate. OF that amount I can vouch
for $780, which was turned over to
me and placed in the steamers safe"
One man, Mr.. Tucker says, had $175,-
900 and another $125, 900. He would not
disclose their names. Prof. T. S. Lippy,
his father and two brothers, carried off
the steamer nine canvas sacks which
weighed about 100 pounds each. This
was the clean up from Lippy's claim
No. 16, EldOradO.
Charles Randall, an old timer, had
$S4, 900. Other individual amounts ran
from one to ten thousand dollars, five
thousand being an average. Sixty
seven passengers have deposited in the
assay office about 100000. -Four thou
sand ounces was the largest individual
amount. This did not include the Lippy
and Randall gold. About one-third Of
the passengers brought no gold. Some
of them had gone in this spring. Not
liking the prospects, they sold their
outfits and returned.
People are arriving in st. Michael
every day from up the Yukon and the
next steamers from there will be crowd
high rates on river steamers many are
floating down in small boats.
When Nelson left st. Michael there
were 26 vessels there. Nine river
steamers, loaded to the guards, had
started up the river. Some were draw
ing four feet of water, and doubts were
expressed of the ability of the heavier
draughts ever going to Dawson.
There is a large amount OF merchan-
disc at ST. Michael which will insure
plenty of food next winter, if i can be
gotten up before ice closes navigation.
Moran's fleet of ten river steamers
was passed by the Nelson just after
IT had entered Boring sea, about 600
miles from ST. Michael The arrival OF
the fleet was anxiously awaited at st.
Michael, as it would enable many OF the
steamers to send their passengers up
the river. The passengers were getting
very uneasy and discontinued. Several
steamers were unable to sail, owing to
the fact that their passengers would
not disembark until river transportation
was provided for them. Among the
steamers that were delayed were the
Progresso, South Portland and Blk
ham. 7
The noted Cuban filibuster Laurada,
with three tows, was passed by the
Nelson in Boring sea. The Conemaugh
was discharging her steel river steam
ers. and they were being riveted TO-
ee+her. The Navarret had arrived with
her tow river steamer Minneapolis III
