 The Alice, that also wintered at Min evek Creek, arrived on the evening of the 4th. bringing q. number of passen- gers picked Up on the river She had no through passengers, that is directly from the outside, save two-Mrs. Cath1e and daughter-who came over from St. Michael by dog team just before the steamer sailed.
 The Alice suffered somewhat from the crush of ice at the breaking up of the river, and her barge was submerg- ed and sunk and a quantity of the cargo lost. She came up the river with such a heavy load that she was twice compelled to stop and cache part of it in order to get through the flats. Even then she was twice held on sandbars for over nine days She has arrived in good order, notwithstanding, and brought up a big cargo.
 She brought up the following named passengers: Mrs. Cathie and daughter George Harrington, three Sisters of Mercy H. Raymond Dr. Le Claire, w R. Wheaton, Stanley Fay, F. R. Bates Tom D. Drew, R. s. Heap, G. P Me Gowan, J. H. Bender J. Bonnehan, H D. Moore, w K. Stevenson, J. Ford, H T. Bishop Bompas, James Warner, J. B. Doane, R. N. Pike, J. w. Spencer, G. Myer, Sergeant Major Davis, Miss K. Pilkington, J. Mcdonald, Corporal w H. Conway, A. J. Beecher and wife, A R. Gardner Constable c. Reed, Der nard Burgh, l. F. Howell, c. Tender son, Mrs Pickett, R. J. Preston, Mrs James Watson, Mrs. Thomas Barker J. H. Watson, son and daughter, c. C. Chittick, John Charles, D. H. Borcher Mir. and Mrs. Casper Ellinger and James Mabee.
 Stanley Fay and MT. and Mrs. Beecher were among the passengers of the Excelsior who sailed from San Francisco last July, bound for this place. They wintered at Minook. If they had been delayed twenty-tWo days longer they would have been just one year on the way. Gabriel Cohn, an other of the Excelsior's passengers, ar rived on the Hamilton, having re- mained all winter with her. He also remained with her on her return trip down the river. The Aiice's passengers who were there during the winter all speak well of the Minook diggings, and say that Rampant City is certain to be prosperous camp. Those who spent the winter with the boat at Minook de- clare that the little steamer Thomas | Dwyer, that wintered at the same place, will not be able to get up the river, as she lacks power to buck the | current. When the Alice passed her she was making a struggle that ap- peared to all of them to be futile. Her passengers, if they get here at all must come by some other boat.

Stoneman, tugboat that left San Francisco on August | last with party of sixty five, which l it was to bring up the Yukon or | barges, arrived here yesterday with nc l barges and just nine of that party They are: Dr. c.
