A MINERS TROUBLES.
VIM. H. Davis, Known in This City
Writes of Some of his Experiences


DYEA, Alaska, Jan. 10th, 1898.
Mr.. S. II. Newman, Ell Paso Texas
Dear Strive arrived at Dyea 7th
inst, after one of the most disagreeable
voyages 1 ever tOok-not from rough
seas Or bad weather, but from trest-
ment received on steamer Alki and
every day while on board I had q fight
on and to get what 1 had payed for,
which was my dogs; they were the
company would not bill my dogs
through, but 1 had to pay the porter
s. 90 dog to carry them through and
! take care of them, and it was for the
care of them was fighting for. They
would not half feed them, and they
kept crowdipg them over every day on
the voyage until the dogs were on top
of one another. The second day out
from Seattle the sailors in washing
down the deck turned hose on the
dogs, and 1 knocked one down and
came uear having a general fight.
We landed at Skaguay on the 5th
bout noon, on the 9th our outfits were
transferred to a scOw and were kept on
it until the night of the It'll before we
could get enough out to pitch camp
and it was 10 p. m. before we had our
tent up.
1 think the Pacific Coast Steamship
company should be written up in the
eastern papers.
1T cost Us S. in tips to keep our dogs
fed, and then we had to see to the feed
ing ourselves in order to know they
rad something to eat. Some one
shipped two horses on the Alki and to
my personal knowledge they had no
feed or water for two days, and if it had
pot been for other parties who had
horses aboard they would not have had
any then.
Skaguay and Dyea are full of people.
The night we landed at Skaguay beds
were worth SO, and lots of people could
not find any. 1 believe there ia 5000
people nc " in Sksguay and Dyes. No
matter what you see 10 the papers, the
aerial tramway will not be completed
this winter.
Speaking about dogs, If you should
want them my advice would be to
buy them in Seattle already broke to
harness, saving time and money, for
we still have them to break, aud broke
dogs can be had nearly as cheap.
have been disappointed in my shep-
herds, they are nat standing up as well
as my Newfoundland or bird dogs.
Since my arrival in Dyea I have met
several parties who came out on the
ice from Dawson. They report the
trail bad in places with lots OF open
water, and the 80 mile is all open, and
trail in it's present condition, it is al
most impossible to think of taking in
an outfit. They tell me last chance is
looking up pretty good.
The 18th we will start moving our
outfit towards the summit and II we
have favorable weather, hope to be at
Llndeman ny the 22od, and we will
keep on moving towards Dawson.
We will not wait for the government
r lief expedi ton to break the trail.
they are too slow, but propose to move
indepeud Mt OF everybody, and If it. is
to get there. We have been delayed
too much already. l will cow bring
my letter to close hoping this finds
your prosparing with the stock compa-
ny. With best wishes.

After Wild Geese.

J. W. O'Connor. the veteran miner
and prospector, writes from Sonora a.
follows: II went to the Yaqui on a
wfld-gOose chase. A fellow showed
me some gold in white porphory that
ran $40 In the freest kind of milling
ore and he said be had q mou q tain of
it. He showed me . mountain of white
porphory but there was no gold in it
when I got there. While was on the
Yaqui river, I saw and talked with
about fifty miners who had been for
hundreds of miles up and down the
Yaqui, many of them were old time
placer miners. and without any excep-
tion they all agreed that the Yaqui
placer fields were . tremendous fake.
met three Dutcbmen there who had
placered all their lives and they said
they found one place where there ap-
peared to be go d and they sunk TWEEN
ty feet to bed rock and found all de-
csyed slnice boxes made from 6 inches
hewen timber. One of them remarked
that in his opinion the Yaqui placers
bad been worked out before he was
born.
81 think the Yaqui country 10 more
systematically cussed by those who
have heen there than any place that 1
know Of.
II saw Wick Smith in Hermosillo.

RoOsEVELT'S LANDING.
Took Care TO Look Out for the
Reporters.


From the New York Evening Post.
Standing on the Miami's bridge was the
most interesting figure aboard-Col The
odore Roosevelt. He wore a bright new
uniform, and was easily identified. He had
field glasses often at his eyes, and from
time to time waved a greeting to the
friends on the dock whom he recognized
waved it vigorously, happily, and untR an
answering salute was gwen He stood thus
conspicuously until the gangpsank was
ready to run up. Gen. Joseph Wheeler, a
gray-haired Confederate veteran of the civ
II war; was at his side now and again.
Col. Roosevelt and Gen. Wheeler were
the first men ashore. Their hands were
wrung by the army officers waiting to re-
ceive them. 1t was evident that Col.
Roosevelt was. the happiest man on the
dock. He was IKE a boy home from school
for the long vacation, throwing a word
here and a word there, appearing to be
too happily excited to do more than speak
and listen in great hurry; wanting the
news in a word. and TO tell in breath
as much as a deliberate man could say In
an hour-just like boy, for all the world
like a boy who had thrown his lessons to
the winds and forgotten that there was an
end to his holiday. He was tanned deep
brown, but lacked the sign-marks Of a
hard campaign-standing straight and
strong, having a bright eye and a strong
grasp of hand evidently 6t for greater
hardship than he has YET known.
It was not long before he came rapidly
down the dock-so eager to do thai which
he intended that he fairly ran He spoke
courteous1y to the friends whom he found
near the picket line, but il was evident
that his interest was in some one else.
Soon he stepped quickly TO a group Of
newspaper representa- ives whom he had
Ennxyn n telV in
and spoke TO them with great cordially.
He missed one from the group.
rs A. B. here?7 he shouted heartily.
The man was pushed forward
well, old fellow, I'm glad to see you"
said Roosevelt How are your I'm very
glad to see you"
Other reporters said, How characters
ticr and hardly one but envied the men
whom Roosevelt knew. one and all for
got to ask the one important question on
his attitude toward the talked-of nominal
ton for governor and many OF them were
there on that one mission. If ever happi-
ness was written on a mans face, II was
written on Roosevelts. He gossiped and
laughed in great slee, and had lit for a
tat whenever tat was given. And when a
yeilow-journal reporter a last intruded a
business question-something about a
wound in action--it was readily answered
with "A mere scratch-nOthing at all-lit-
tie piece of she'll"
/ Then you have the one needfuI qualih-
cation for running for offlce-according TO
Croker" said another.
"Oh. what's that?" Col Roosevelt laugh
ed 81 must hear about that. But another
time-anOtber time"
Col. Roosevelt refused good-naturedly to
"tailS politlcs"-this was thought 10 be sig
nihcant Of an intention 20 consider nom
lnation ser.ousiy-but promised the men 10
zen The story of The regiment and went
marching of, 10 tell the names and deeds
Of the companies. 50 that no reporter
should be LEFT In the lurch.

"RUsTLING" IN THE ARMY.
A Rough Riders story in Which
Gen. "Joc" wheeler Figured.

Gen. Joe" wheeler Figured.
Edmin Emerson, in Golfers Weekly.
When I joined the Rough Riders in the
field I had nothing but my oldest suit Of
clothes and good six-shooter.
Haven't you anything of your own?'
asked Col. Roosevelt after plying
glance at my bicycle slippers and straw
hat.
Il have some extra Eyeglasses, SIR" I
said.
'Wen, you'n have to rustic for uni
form and equipments" remarked the
colonel, but you'd better be careful how
you do it,"
At the next inspection I was arrayed in
a First Regular Cavalry hat, shirt from
the New York Seventy Spanish
trousers, a navy revolver in German
cavalry holster from the Prussian military
attache, a Cuban machete, a Red Cross
blanket and a mule drivers poncho.
where did you get the clothes?" asked
Col. Roosevelt, adding quickly Il won't
ask AS long as you have a uniform
you'll do"
With this encouragement from a nigh
quarter l was duly started on my military
career, and it was not my fault if I lacked
for aught henceforward. Yet l learned
that the thing could be overdone. That
same night there was terrific row be-
cause some Napoleonic genius succeeded
in filching the only package of sugar IN
the outfit. Just after the captain orderly
had formally donated it TO the troop.
Every mans hama was lifted against The
other and the-quaTre,s and determinations
became so fierce that several of the for
noer cattlemen fonded their six-shooters
dangling at their hips.
Next day was ordered to report at
division headquarters across the hill:
While l was standing at attention l heard
the following dialogue between Gen.
Wheeler and his adjutant;
Il have found your saddle horse sir?''
"Where was it,
''In the Rough Riders camp"
''How did il get there"
''They stole H. sir.
at q stil over there. They claim It IL
their own and refuse to give it up. They
say they found it grazing In their trenches
four days ago."
The old general arose in his wrath, ex-
claiming: rs there anything those devils
won't steal? Reports the facts to Col.
Roosevelt with my compliments, and cell
him that ! must insist on having my horse
returned to me-"
The adtutant departed, and Gen.
Wheeler turned to me. AS he recognized
the cross sabers ana number one on my
army hat his face ciouded ana ne saio.
so you are one OF the Rough Riders
We'll you may be good tghters-in fact.
Won have shown yourselves to be good
