More News From the Great Ell Dorado Of

The San Francisco Examiner says:
Within the next two months about
500, 100000 will be shipped from Daw.
son City to San Francisco. Most OF
the treasure is said to be the property
of the Alaska Commercial company,
their agents having bought the gold
dust from the miners and given checks
in payment. The company will have
three or four vessels on the route be-
tween San Francisco and St. Michael's
this summer, among them being Bertha
and St. Paul. The only United States
vessel now in the north is the revenue
cutter Bear, and she is on special
mission. The gunboat Wheeling may
be sent to St. Michael's to escort the
treasure fleet to San Francisco.
