Dying of scurvey and Crippled by Frost
Bites,
SEATTLE, Wash. July PA Times
special from Vancouver, B.. c.. says:
c. R. Maltby, who has arrived here
from Dawson. was fifteen months on
the Edmonton route. With about n
hundred other prospectors, he wintered
at Wind City. When he left in Janu-
airy sixteen men were sick with scurvy.
He heard in March that DR.. Mason, OF
Chicago, and w. Gouchie, son of a Chi
cago banker, were dying.
There were about fifty men stranded
there, scuryy stricken and frozen. E.
H. Harris, of Hamilton, had both feet
frozen, and they were amputated at the
ankles. Two Russians named Boorman
from California were dying with sour
Wy. They were living on the siftings
OF our flour only. j. Patterson, son OF
Lieut.. Gov. Patterson, of Manitoba, and
]. c. Oatesworth, a Chicago lawyer,
were also stranded in Wind City in
March.
All would have been well if the Indian
guides could have been induced to nayi-
gate beyond the divide after reaching
Wind City, but there they stopped, say
ing that some savages ten feet high
roamed through the mountains and
crushed men between their thumbs and
ate them up. The Indians reported sew
eral parties lost in the mountains.
These men will never be heard of again.
II Was after the Indian guides left them
that they strayed into the section OF
the country where there was no fuel
and there froze TO death. The parties
quarrelled among themselves and took
different routes.
Many remnants of parties were lost
IN this way, for in their anger they
left the Indian guides while with the
main portion of the party wandered
away to the mountains TO become lost.
Mr.. Maltby urges that the Canadian
government take action against those
who are responsible for advertising the
Edmonton trail as a feasible route to
Dawson, when it is nothing but a death
trap.

CLEVELAND, o., July 25s-An at
tempt On the part of several manufac-
turers OF late to buy iron for ship
ment after the first of September, and
before the first Of January. has brought
TO light the fact that an iron famine
is now in existence. The dealers in
pig iron and all grades Of foundry,
say that they have stopped trying TO
place orders for shipment for the last
four months Of the year, as they would
be unable 70 fill the orders received.
Up TO the finst OF July there was a
surplus that h-d collected during he
storage season OF 1884, when the
production was in excess OF the de-
mand. This has all been used up ard
now the mills are depending on the
output Of the furnaces. The furnace
e have the product Of their plants
contracted for up to the first OF the
year. with demands. and heavy ones,
coming from the firms with which they
have contracts, for a supply OF IRON
in excess Of the contract. This will
o than eat up the product Of the
furnaces.
There is a large percentage Of the
mills of the country that have been
running without contract iron depend
ing on the open market for their SUP
ply, and being DESTROYS OF paying the
wild rate on the market rather than
the contract price, which the first part
OF the year seemed high. these factor
les find now that the open market is
without iron, hence there is nothing
left for them to do but shut down.
Some iron men say that the mills
which have been depending on the OPP
en- market for their iron amount 10
forty per cent. Of the whole number.
A large per cent OF Ohio mills will
close down from September LIT. TO
January 1st, unless the famine ends.
