LINES STAKED OFF FOR THE
SALT PALACE FENCE.
Lumber Will Be Delivered Today
and the Construction Pushed Rap
idly Forward-Dirt to Fly Soon.

Actual work may be said to have
begun on the Salt Palace. Yesterday
Robert Robinson was engaged TO SUI
perintend the first part of the con-
struction. Mr. Robinson, with .Archi-
tect Kletting and assistants, went to
the grounds and staked off the lines
for the fence. The lumber will be de-
livered today and the fence, a tight
eight-foot affair of boards, will be
rushed through to completion Then
the dirt will fly in earnest.
1t has not yet been decided whether
the buildings shall be constructed by
contract or under the care of the asso-
citation, with Mr.. Kletting in direct
charge. The latter method, it is be-
lieved, would result in saving of time,
and time is a very precious article just
now with the Salt Palace authorities.
The lease of the site upon which the
palace is to be erected was filed for
record with the county recorder yes
terday. The document is executed by
J. r. Walker and Frederick Heath to
the Salt Palace association, and pro-
viGes that the grant shall run for a
term of three years "a a yearly rental
of 81, commencing May ., 1899. The
lessees are obligated to leave. at the
expiration of the lease, the buildings
erected on the ground. except such
structures as may be put up by con-
cessionaires on the midway pIais-
ance."

HARDSHIPS OF GOLD-SEEKERS
DISASTROUS EXPEDITION TO
KOT4GBUE SOUND.
Opening of Boring Sea Will Witness
Exodus of the Last White Man
From That Country.

Skagway, Alaska, May (via Seat
tie, Wash, May 12).-F. a. H. Fysh sand
W. Williams reached Dawson April 10,
on foot from Kotzebue sound. Fysh
and Williams formed two of a party of
eighteen who left Iowa last summer
and joined the big rush which landed
1000 people on the various rivers of
Kotzebue sound. The party established
winter quarters 300 miles up the Ko-
wax river.
After untold hardships and labor
they decided that there was no gold in
the country. On Feb. 10 Fysh and VIII
liamS struck out over the divide to the
Koyukuk, thence to Dawson, a distance
Of l,500 miles.
F'ysh reports that Kotzebue sound is
thickly peopled with an intelligent race
of Indians closely resembling the Jap
anese in habits and physique. The
principal diet heretofore has been dried
salmon, but the abundance of white
mans food last summer was the cause
of laying away less than half a crop
of salmon. The result this winter was
that the lily nourished natives have
been dying off like sheep.

man and only a scattering of cabins

broke through the ice several times,
having many narrow escapes. He re-
ports five large mails from Dawson
hung up at Selkirk. Hootalinqua and
White Horse will have to wait the
opening of navigation. The Yukon and
its tributaries are fast breaking up.
Thirty-mile river is free of ice and
Fifty-miie river is open from White

of the high joint commission to visit

boundary question and the need of
some sort of Self-government.

of the Atlin district. who arrived from

that the opening of the mining season

He also brings word that Humes would
come up before the end Of the month
with a commission of arbitration before
which all controversies about owner
