THE RUSH FOR ALASKA,
washington Proprietor Give
Views of the Situation,


A letter received here from one of the
men who recently left this city in a party
of ten for a prospecting tour in Alaska
gives an idea of the condition of affairs at
Seattle and what may be expected between
there and the gold fields of Alaska.
The writer says his party has arranged
to leave Seattle for the north on the sailing
vessel Blakeley, which will carry one hum
dred and fifty-four passengers. OF this
number seventy-nine will go ashore at Dis
enchantment bay, and try to reach the head
waters of the Copper river. The Washing
tonians will continue up the coast to Pho
neer, William sound, where they will land
at Port Valdez, going from there over the
Valdez glacier to the Copper river district
They will remain on the American side of
the line and wifi float the American flag
over their big tent at all times.
Speaking of the situation at Seattle, the
writer says:
THE crowd here il simply immense. and
more people arehlanding from every train.
In month this place will be overrun with
people vessels are very scarce and can
not handle the people now here. Nobody
knows what they will do in another month
Our party has paid enough money for pas
sage on the Blakeley; to build q new vessel
like her, and it will only take twenty EIGHT
days to make theIround trip. so you can see
from that how the vessels have the gang
at their mercy.
Every house and vacant building in Sc
attic is filed with beds and cots, and fur
nished rooms ana rooms for rent are the
signs seen hanging out all over town. I
have seen several vessels leave here for
Alaska which were overcrowded with
freight and men. There Is something very
wrong with the inspection of vessels here,
and I am afraid trouble will commence
when some of the old vessels go down.
which they will surely do If they run up
against storm. Insurance on some of
them runs up as high as IL per cent We
had the vessel we are going on inspected
before we engaged passage, and insisted on
only one hundred and fifty-four passengers
making the trip. The officers wanted to
put on 300, but we drew the line at the
number named. Her insurance is 8 per
cent, SO you see she is a very good boat
