ANOTHER REPORT FROM noApIkE.

Me-. Stewart Returns From Tacoma-Saw a
Man Who Know About the Beckett Claim.
Theo. Hayes and Waiter Taylor at Sheep
Camp.
James R. Stewart returned Tuesday
night from Tacoma where he spent some
two weeks and would have remained
longer, with the N. P. at Edison, had it
not been for the lameness of his knee,
the effects of an injury of 10 0 r IL years
ago.
Mr.. Stewart has no desire to go to
Alaska as a gold seekerbut he is natural
ly interested in those who have gone
from this vicinity. On the train return
ing from the west, Mr.. Steward fell in
with a gentleman who had just come down
from Dawson. He went in owe a year
ago as a partner OF Grant Chase, a for
mer Stark county resident. They were
unfortunate as to the selection of claims
and were only able to pay expenses by
cutting timber and floating it down the
streams. This gentleman told Mr.. Stew
art that he knew Of Messrs. Beckett, Nc
Donald and Dobson and from what he
had heard of their claims believed they
would have no difficulty in cleaning up
$4,000 apiece; but he said they were
among the lucky number, and he would
not advise any person to 60 to the Klon-
dixie region thinking to find wealth. He
said that the good claims were all taken
and hundreds of men were on the ground
without a penny in their pockets. This
man said that on their way out-at the
Sheep Camp-thep met Theo. H. Hayes
and w. G. Taylor. Grant Chase had
known Mr.. Taylor in Dickinson and
their meeting on the Klondike
trail was a surprise to both. The
man said that Mr.. Chase bought 28.days'
provisions in Tacoma and started back
10 try his luck again; but he had had
enough and took the first train for Chica-
go. He told MI. Stewart that a regular
mail would come out from Dawson in
about two weeks.
Mr.. Stewart spent a day with Martin
cameron, formerly of Dickinson, now an
attorney at Ellenburg, Wash. He saw
a number Of the Dickinson boys in
Seattle. Pete Frazier, he said, had EN-
ployment with the ship builders, and M
y. Smith had been soliciting for a Klon
dixie Quitting house, but was gDag Il
some other point to make applicants

Worthless Mines.
Alarge proportion Of the mines in the
Klondike and Indian river divisions Of
this district will soon be offered to the
public in the United States. Capital
lists, promoters, boomers, sharks and
confidence men, loaded up with ''good

Some-a very few-are reputable

rely upon the generosity Of the public
while the Klondike excitement is on.
During the last two or three months
some Of these men have been bonding

Others have had men out stalking claims

"Whereas, It has come to the knowl-

mining claims in the Yukon district are
to be placed on the markets Of the

Whereas, It is believed in Klondtke

General Notes Of Interest.
The opera house and two adjoining
saloons were burned on Thanksgiving
eve. The loss is estimated to be about
e5O, 600. The opera house and saloon
connected with it were said to net a
profit Of $24, 900 per month. Business
just now is poor, however, owing to the
TACT that most Of the miners are at their
cabins up the guloh, and the moneyed
mel from the outside have taken their
departure for home again. The opera
house will be rebuilt again in time for
the spring trade, which is best after the
clean up begins. 1t is expected that this
will be a wild town then.
Whisky is likely to be scarce in the
meantime, is much was lost in the fires.
However, men are starting with dog
trains for the outside, intending to bring
q new supply as far as the foot Of Lake
La Barge on the ice and follow the first
ice down in the spring. It is hoped that
food supplies will be brought in in the
same way, although 1t is not at all GER
tain that they will command q price
high enough to return q profit ON the
outlay.
Better transportation facilities are
badly needed here, and the consensus Of
opinion among the mine owners is that
. transportation company would make
money. II there is such an thrush Of
p%rospeotors in the spring as is expected,
there certainly will be a great shortage
In supplies again, and starvation seems
imminent unless better facilities for
getting food into the country are adopt
ed than those now in use.
There is much feeling here relative to
the action of the Dominion government
In having amended the mining laws so
as to reduce the size Of claims and to
impose a tax on the output Of the mines.
Certain it is that few of the mines
even the richest here-would pay for
the working if a 20 per cent royalty is
exaoted. The miners chamber of com.
merce, which was organized for the
purpose, is sending a commission out,
one member Of whioh-Mr. Livernash
will carry this letter. The commission
will present q resolution on the subject
before the house when 1t assemblies in
February.
