estimated that the Nayarro's passengers
had sio.oU. while the men On the Rival
would probably have been willing 10 throw
away all over see.ea. The latter were
nearly starved for delicacies, the ship hav-

Der OF the small stern-wheel steamers,
which were taken up from here knocked
down or on the decks of vessels. are unable
10 get away from 81. Michael. as they
have no licensed captains or engineers.
The owners of these boats thought there
would be no inspectors AT 81. Michael.
consequently did not arrange for licensed
captains and engineers. The inspectors
were very much in evidence when the
starting time came. however, and not a
boat was allowed TO leave without licensed
officers. The owners of the small boats
did not know what TO do. They had no
money to hire men even IL they could be
found. They had counted on finding their
way up the river as best they could and
had made no arrangements o hire cap
tains. The Alpha. owned by the Taylor
Curren party. of this city was without 4
licensed captain, and the Unity. owned by
DR.. Johnson and party. OF Chicago, was
also without officers. The Johnson party
had been unable 10 mako their boat go UP

The latter have made severa, towing ar

Two Strays Join Issues.
The tug Resoiute reported at Dutch
Harbor that she had passed the river
steamers w. II. Evans and Pilgrm steani-
Ing side by side of Nunivak island. in
Boring sea. half way between Dutch Har-
Dor and ST. Michael. The W. Ii. Evans
went north from here In tow OF the steam
schooner Noyo. Shortly after getting out
to sea the Evans showed signs OF breaking
up. so the Noyo pulled her back to Ameri-
can bag and beached her near Howkan, an
Indian settlement. She was reported 10 he
badly wrecked. Capt Lewis refused TO
abandon her and persuaded many of his
passengers 10 stay with him. He said he
could fix the steamer UP and take her 10
St. Michael under her own steam. The
fact tina. the Reeolute sighted her proves
that he has almost carried out his promise.
The Pilgrim was the flagship of the Moran
fleet of river steamers which was left be-
hind at False pass FOR repairs. The Evans
had found her there and the two strays
started on together. They Will undoubtedly
reach st. Michael without trouble.
The latest story concerning the unfor-
tunate steamship Progreso and the Big
Square Company Is that Capt. Gilboy has
secured the steamer J. p. Light. of the Mo-
ran feet and that unloading would COM
mence the morning after the Navarro left.
Capt Giboy. IL is said, will turn the Pre-
greso ever TO his mate and take the river
boat up the Yukon. The Light was one of
the three steamers that were to have form
ed the Big Squares river fleet.
What the Rival Brought.
The KiondIkers on the Rival who had
gold kept It in their own possession IL
Is difficult 10 form an estimate OF the total
amount. but there were no very rich men
aboard. Three Dawson variety women.

arch TO 81. Michael, and will arrive on the
Danube. There were three parties on
board the river steamer who had over 30
pounds OF dust each. They remained at ST.
