 CALIFORNIANS.
HARDSHIPS AND STARVATION
Escape With Their Lives and Return to Report Many Miners Strand ed and Confronted by
 Famine.
Special Dispatch to Tn. Call.

VANCOUVER, Oct. S.-A. c. Peck, a tall, powerful-Iooking Californian, who halls from Los Angeles, has arrived in this city, after having spent seven months on the Ashcroft trail and in the Peace River country vainly searching for the precious, yellow metal MT. Peck, with three partners-F w. Troop, J. J. Shields and NJ. A Long, all of Los Angeles-bought supplies in Vancouver last March for long stay in the northern gold fields. They took their supplies to Ashcroft by train and started from the latter place on March 27.
 MT. Peck informed a Call representa- tive that his experience over the prac- tically unknown route had been awful. The party encountered bogs and mo- rasses every few miles on the trail, in which their horses sank up to their necks and were lost. Some of the pack animals strayed into the dense forests of that district and were never seen again.
 The party had prepared for a long sojourn in the north and carried heavy outfits. After losing most of their anl- mals and putting to death some which were starving, they hired Indian guides and started out in small boats from Quesnelle, proceeding by Summit Lake and Crooked River to Fort Macleod. They then, after many hardships and hair breadth escapes, succeeded in reaching Findlay and Peace rivers, ana finally Fort Graham, 8 Hudson Bay post. At this point they rested, Long having given up and the other members of the party being completely discour- aged The country for miles around was prospected by them, but no gold was found.
 Some of the members being then broken in health and pocket, and sick ened at the sight of so much distress on the trail, decided to return, MT. Peck being among the number.
 Speaking of his trip, Mir. Peck said emphatically that the two Canadian routes to the Klondike-the Ashcroft and Edmonton trails-were simply death traps, and he wonders now that they escaped with their lives. Their escape may have been due to the fact that their Indian guides took them by a new route around a part of the trail where many men are now said to be stranded and starving. In regard to the much-talked-of Edmonton route, MT. Peck said:
 Tt was terrible, from what I could

hear. I met one maintained kegWln. of Fresno, Cal.-who, with a party or twenty men and fifty pack horses started out over it a year ago last JuIy' and 1t took them a years hard traNel- ing to reach Fort Graham. They must have experienced a terrible time. start ing out in the summer they, or course' took pack horses. Then winter over took them and they saw their poor anl- mals die off one by one through starVa- tion and cold. The party could get no fodder, and the stories about good pas ture lands proved myths. kegw1n toId me that when he reached Fort Graham he had only one horse left out of hTty-
 The expenses of the party must have been enormous. They winter at Fort Graham and early the next spring VIII strike west to prospect Pelly, Black and Lizard Rivers, where they think they will find gold enough to pay them for their terrible trip. Their great complaint about the Edmonton route IS the great distance and the fnnumeraole small lakes and streams that have 10 be crossed. Kegwin cursed the route as a fraud and a delusion.
 Mir Peck and his party lost nearly everything in addition to experiencing the many horrors of the trail. They started for Los Angeles tonight. Many Americans, including two large Cali fornian parties whose names they can- not recollect, are. they say, stalled on the Edmonton trail and will have to get help before winter sets in or dle like dogs, as they have lost most of their outfits

Stockmen of Solano County Form Cattle Protective Asso-
 ciation

SUISUN, Oct 8-Stockmen In Solano County are determined to take every pos sible step to eradicate the disease known as Texas fever that has caused mortality among their herds They also will en- deavor to prevent its recurrence in the county To this end an organization has been formed. which will be known as the Solano County Cattle Protective As sociation. The officers elected are: Sam uel Stewart. president; B. F. Rush. vice president: E. J. Okell, secretary, and R. D. Robbins treasurer. All the prominent cattlemen in the county are included on the membership roll
 This is considered the first step toward a State organization of the kind, having for its object the framing of the laws necessary for a proper protection of the stock raising industry. Since an out break of anthrax has apeared in Yolo will second the efforts of Solano County in giving more attention to the ouaran- tine laws. pr. Blemer, United States in- spector has visited SolanO, and spoke ap- provingly of the organization formed, and Of the dipping process being carried out fresh outbreaks of the disease have been reported during the past week.
 SACRAMENTO, Oct. S.-FarmerS and stockmen in the GaIt district are alarmed over the fatal disease known as anthrax among their herds. During the past few vicinity, lost ten head of cattle from anthrax, and V. s. Quiggle lost three head It is only within the past few weeks that the disease made its appear- ance.

ARRIVES WITH DAWSoNITES.
Steam Schooner Rival Brings Miners
 and Their Gold.

SEATTLE. Oct. 8. The steam schooner Rival arrived this afternoon from St. Michael, Alaska, with 125 pas sengers, of whom about fifty were from Dawson City. Nearly all had small amounts of gold dust, ranging from few hundred to a few thousand dollars
 F. J. Teeter, who will tell no one whence he came beyond the fact that he was away up in the Arctic, is sup posed to have lot of gold. Accord ing to Stewart Brown, he spent great deal coming down on the boat.
 Thomas Barker, who is accompanied by his wife and two children, is the owner of some claims near Circle City. He is credited with s10,000.
 John G. Green, who has been in Alaska since 1881, is the owner of sil- yer mine near GoIovin Bay. MT Green does not have a very favorable op1n- ion of the recent gold discoveries on Golovin Bay.
 One of the most interesting passen- gers on the Rival was Frank J. Dun levy. who has visited all the big min ing camps of the world. Dunlevy was the organizer of the Miners Associa- tion, formed for the purpose of secur- ing what they considered needed re- forms in the administration Of the Yu- kon. Dunlevy says that he will visit all the principal cities in Canada, with the purpose of arousing the electors to the necessity of Parliamentary in- yestigation. When shown the dis patch from Ottawa stating that Gold Commissioner Fawcett had been re- moved, MT. Dunlevy said:
 That will be welcome news to the miners. who. although they do not im- pugn Fawcett's honesty, regard him as inefficient and lacking in executive ca pacity."
 Continuing. he said: ''The removal of Fawcett, however, will not satisfy the miners If certain abuses in the way of granting concessions to indi- viduals are not corrected l predict that not to exceed $1, ,000 900 in gold will be taken out of the country next year"
