 An attempt is being made to charter the steam schooner Del Norte for the Alaska trade Should the deal be con- summated she will be built up and ac- cOmmodation provided for 150 passen- gers. The Crescent City will take per place in the lumber trade.
 Owing to the immense fleet going to Juneau, Dyea and Skaguay there are not half enough pilots to go around and many of the steamers are taking chances without them. The charge for pilotage a few months ago was $125, but the rate has been steadily on the advance until now it is S250 and still rising. Owing to the numerous and very strong currents and the many dangerous places on the route between the Sound and Dyea and Skaguay, it is very dangerous of course to steer unless the navigator is thoroughly versed in regard to the dangers. If strangers attempt the passage this winter and spring, the chances are that many an accident similar to that of the Corona will have to be recorded.

 The American ship William J. Rotch arrived from New York yesterday af- ter a long voyage of 224 days Last November she was caught in a heavy storm and had to put into TalcahuanO with her cargo shifted and her top sides strained.

CANCERS IN BREAST AND EYE

Learning that some remarkable cures had been made recently in this city by Dr. S. R. Chamley of 719 Mar ket street, a Call reporter located the two following cases:
 Mrs. l. l.. Pickard, who resides at 50415 Guerrero street, was seen. She said: About five years ago I be- came afflicted with lump in the breast that was pronounced by my physician a cancer. Later one appeared in the other breast. I would not submit to the knife. About this time I learned of and visited Dr. Chamley and was immediately impressed with his method In August, 1897, I commenced treat ment. Within twelve days from that time the cancers dropped out without any pain. The sores healed rapidly leaving very little scars. I cannot speak too highly of Dr. Chamley and his treatment"
 A second call was made upon Mr. Thomas F. Fish of room 29, Nevada block. who said: "A few years ago a little sore appeared on the lower lid of my eye which proved to be a cancer. It affected the eyebau and I lost the use of the eye. A friend in Los Angeles wrote me to go to pr. Chamley and be cured. In twenty days the cancer came out. l recommend his cure to all"
 The doctor sends a 75-page book free on cancers and tumors cured without knife or pain.

4 WORTHY CAUSE
 REQUIRES HELP
Presentation Convent School Unable to Meet the
 Taxes.
An Entertainment to Be Given by the NanO Nagle Debating Club
 Next Week.

Never before has the little Presenta- tion Convent on Powell and Lombard streets called upon the public to assist it, but this year, as with all other people, the hard times has affected it and it now finds itself obliged to ask assistance of the people to help pay off the tax on the property.
 The way the convent seeks this little favor is in the form of an entertainment, and all the numbers on the programme are very interesting and entertaining.
 The musical and literary entertain ment is to be given by the members of the Nano Nagle Debating Club on Thurs day evening, February 10. and promises to be a very interesting affair. The pro- gramme has a variety of numbers-cho- ruses. stringed orchestra, trombone solo. recitations and selections by the chair man of the evening, Dr. J. P. Mccarthy. while the Imaginable farce, Events of a Night" is sure to meet a general ap- plause The tableaux are of a striking and highly entertaining character.
 Tickets, 50 cents, will be on sale at the Monitor office. 529 Clay street: Mauvais' music store, Market street; Sherman & Clay's, corner of Kearny and Sutter streets, and at the Debating Club rooms 1901 Powell street.

transportation to the Klondike. Van couver and Skaguay were the points between which it was reported that the steamers would run.
 The rumors heretofore published in The Call that the steamers Australia and Czarina of the Oceanic line were to engage in the Klondike trade have been confirmed. As soon as the Australia returns from her present trip to Homo lulu she will immediately take up the run between Dyea and Skaguay. She will remain upon this run until spring, when she will ply between San Fran cisco and St. Michael.
 The steamer Cottage City, which Goodall, Perkins & Co. purchased in New York some time ago, reached port at o'clock last evening, and anchored off the barge office.

Doubled Their Charges for Taking Vessels to Dyea
 and Skaguay.
Coal and Lumber Advance in Price Because of the Scar
 city of Vessels.
Arrival of the Ship William J. Rotch After Long Passage From
 New York

The chartering of vessels for the gold held rush still continues, and the lack or coasters is beginning to make itself 1elt. Lumber has advanced in price and for lengths not in stock the deal CTS are charging eXorbitant rates, and Tn some instances the timbers cannot be supplied. Friday night the whole sale coal dealers held a meeting and advanced the price of Wellington coal $2 ton and Washington coals $1 a ton. These prices will not be reduced for at least eight months, and the chances are that before the Klondike fever dies out there will be a further advance instead
 The recent arrivals of heavy ship ments of coal have not relieved the market to any appreciable extent. Very few of the black diamonds found their way into yards, as retailers took the coal away as quickly as 1t was discharged out of the colliers. The withdrawal of steamers and sailing vessels from the trade in order to carry passengers to Dyea and Skaguay has caused all the trouble, and there will be no relief for the consumer until the rush to the Yu- kon is over
 The ship Yosemite is to be turned into a passenger vessel All her spars are to be sent dowr and she will be lowed between Seattle and Dyea. Captain Thomas Gattenby. formerly mate of the vessel, will go out as master, vice Cap tain Fullerton, who takes command of the ship Harry Morse. The Yosemite has been sold to E. F. Sweeny of Se- attle.
 The bark Forest Queen is also to join the Klondike fleet. She will go from here to Tacoma to load lumber for San Diego, after which she will be turned into a passenger boat. She will be built up and on her arrival at Dyea will be turned into a hotel. She will have first-class accommodation. and the chances are she will not lack pat ronage. The Eclipse will serve as a floating hotel at St. Michael, and Dyea and Skaguay are not to be behind in that respect.
 The steam schooner Sunol has been sold by the L. F. White Lumber Com pany to c. A. Hooper & Go. It is not settled as to whether she will run to Dyea or remain in the lumber trade.
 J. R. Hanify is building a new steamer for the lumber trade, and Cap tain Johnson of the steam schooner Scotia will command her. The Scotia, in command of Captain Hansen, will sail for Dyea and Skaguay via Seattle next Tuesday.
