SEATTLE, Jan. 22.-Two companies have or.
near Cook Inlet, and capital enough has boon
raised to determine the value Of the deposits
facilitate the handling Of the coal. and it is
claimed that o market has already been Sc
cured at Dutch Harbor and ST. Michael for a
large amount of the coal. This is to supply the
steamships on the ocean route and the feet Of
new steamers that will ply, on the Yukon this
season. The petroleum. will also be brought
into requisition along the Yukon and Klondike
in thawing out the auriferous gravel at an ex-
pense far less than by the present slow process
Of wood firing. The petroleum, u is said, can
be transported to st. Michael and Seattle at
one cent q gallon. 1t can be conveyed from
the wells and springs by pipe lines to vessels at
O less cost per gallon.
There are offerings of freight from Seattle to
Cook Inlet at $l5 per ton, but the shorter and
more attractive SKag@ay traffic Is absorbing
all the vessels. Cook Inlet is . very inviting
field, and vessels can engage at remunerative
rates.

the trails are soft and sloppy, and that the
thousands gathered at that point for a forward
move to. the Yukon and Klondike will not be
able to do SO until about Feb. /. There are
about 5000 scattered along the trails at vari-
GUS points, nearly all OF whom are well pro-
visioned and outhtted for the journey.
