A STORY OF HARDSHIP.
Dusty Diamond Party Meets With
Poor success In Alaska.

Poor success III Alaska.
Seattle Wash, Aug. 18.-W. H. Rose
caulp. of Chicago, who was member
Of the Dusty Diamond party of Chicago
has returned from Alaska with an in
teresting story concering the fortunes
of that party, which was composed of
fifty men. members of the Chicago fire
department and manufacturers of that
city
They sailed from Seattle in May, 1897.
intending to go to Dawson City.
Through Ill luck they reached st.
Michaels late and We're detained there
until it became too late to make the
trip up the river. Then they headed for
the Fish River country, in the Golovin
Bay district, from which good reports
were coming. There they have re-
manned ever since. The expedition out
fit cost $4,000. $1,000 being put into the
proposition by every member of the
party. After sixteen months OF hard
ships and privations they have been en-
abled to draw out $500 to the man. The
party is now broken up and dispersed.
| Thirty-nine OF the men worked stead
| lily through June and July last settling
on Ophir Creek, q small tributary ia
| the Neukluk river in the Golovin Bay
country. For this two months work they
got only $1,000. which was divided pre-
lrata among the nifty men. Bed roch

they found eighteen inches to four feet
below the surface. There WAS an Ina.
imense amount OF water In the creek
and great deal OF dam had to be built
In order to make 1t possible to sluice 1t
all. Throughout the long winter months
the party worked laboriously, cutting
lumber and preparing for the sluice.
Winter was passed without great hard
ship owing to the abundance OF fuel and
the large amount OF supplies on hand.
Finally, coming to the conclusion that
the Dusty Diamond expedition was not
to be success. the members decided to
liquidate and wind up the affairs Of the
company. They sold the steamer,
which cost them 5000. for 1850. to the
Alaska Exploring Company. They sold
a lot of their goods and during the open
season made some money with the
steamer. Twelve Of the party returned
to Seattle by the Alliance Capt Sieger,
who headed the expedition, and who
was once q captain in the Chicago fire
department, left the country some time
ago with number of others.

esy called sailing-to Jackson House ~
Cape Flora, we'll to the north In Franz
Josef Land. Then a tramp to the north
ern part of the island to latitude % OF
50, where the winter was to be passed.
The 10th OF February was the date SET
for breaking camp for that dash OF
three or four months toward the pole
and return. A thousand miles were to
be covered in that short time, and the
return was to be made to the cape in
time to reach jackson House early
enough to take advantage of the open
eeAs OF the summer time for the trip by
boat back to Tromsoe.
This schedule was followed almost to
a day. until the accidents in the north
put an end to the hopes Of the explor-
ers.
Mr.. Wellman had two objects when he
started for the north. The greater one,
Of course. was to reach the pole, or. fall
ing that, to reach higher latitude than
had previously been attained by explor-
ers and to add to the mass of know
ledge about the geography, climate and
natural characteristics of the arctic re-
gions.
The other object had high senti-
mental value to the hearts Of the ex-
plorers. 1t was to gain knowledge of the
fate of Andree, the bold Norwegian,
who had attempted to reach the pole by
balloon. Cape Flora. Mr. wellman rea-
soned, was the most likely point of ref
uge for the Norwegian, and if he had
not been successful in reaching that
point, all hope of his life having been
preserved must be abandoned.
That Andree was not found at Cape
Flora last fall by the wellman party
has long been known. Letters from Mr..
Wellman reached this country last fall
telling of the sorrow and grief of the
members as they approached the cape
and found there no signs of life, and
realized that the adventurer, whom all
SO much admired, must have persisted.
