The Wheeling daily intelligencer. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1865-1903, 1899-08-12

AS stated in the IntellIgencer yester-
day morning, VIII H. Egerter. who
has spent two years in the Klondlke
gold region, has returned home. He ar
rived on the Pan Handle at sos, and
was met at the station by the members
Of his family, and 1t is needless to say
that after so long separation, bro
ken only by letter at long intervals,
the meeting was happy one.
Mr.. Egerter put in the day shaking
hands with his many friends. and last
evening. when seen by a representative
of the Intelligencer. he talked very en-
tertaInlngly of life In the far north. In
answer to several questions by the re-
porter, he said:
I'm the first place, would like to say
the country is very much abused and
the dangers and hardshlps very much
oyer-estimated. The chilkoot pass,
which is talked so much about is very
dangerous place. probably the worst in
that section, but in the Copper river
district, where l was situated. the dan
gers are not so great. The VGldes
glacier. which is the most dangerous
place In this section, is 1880 feet high.
and about thlrty-five miles long. This
our party crossed several times, and
the casualties there, compared to Chill
koot, have been few:
The stories told of the temperature
are largely conjecture. but probably
true. The mercurial Thermometer
freezes at 81 degrees below zero. but 1
once saw a spirit thermometer that
registered 10 degrees below. This may
seem extremely cold, but noticed 1t
no more than would zero weather
here One remarkable fact is that in
spite of this extreme cold the streams
do not freeze up altogether, and you
can find open places all along any Of
them. Contrary to the laws Of nature,
the water in these streams is warmer
In. winter than 1t is in summer. This
is explained by the fact that in cold
weather the streams are fed by springs
and in warm weather the glaciers melt
and fill the streams with Ice water.
1.-THE snow fall in the country Is very
heavy. the llghtest we had being eleven
feet, and the heaviest, as near as I
can recall, was thirty-one feet"
In speaking of his experiences, Mr..
Egerter said:
"All my time has been spent in or
near the Copper river district, and all
the work of last summer was practic-
ally lost. We made a little Roadway
in the Klutina river and then moved
over to Manchor creek. Here we found
what appeared to be good gold Indica-
tons, but there was too much water,
and we could not work. so we went to
Quartz creek. That was last fall, and
this spring we moved into that neigh
borhood, and up to the time left there
were seven slulce boxes building and
three in operation. Every now and
then we would find nuggets of various
sizes, mostly small. In my judgment,
1 think that Quartz creek is the lucklest
find we have had, and from 1t am
expecting great things.
when 1 started for home 1 had a
large number of specimens taken from
that territory that 1 Intended to have
assayed, but by an unfortunate accident
that befell me coming out I lost them
all. with a very few exceptions.

A Narrow Escape.


my partner and I had started down
the river on a raft, and we had our be-
longlngs tied on sled. and the sled
tied to the raft. In attempting to land
my partner got the rope twisted, and
while trying to wrap 1t around tree
got mixed up with 1t himself, and was
pulled into the water. saw we were
bound to go, and I tried to loosen the
packages, but could not do so. While
1 was doing this the raft turned clean
over, and I scrambled around in the
water, and finally got onto the bottom
of the raft. When I got close to one
bank made an effort to get to shore
and finally succeeded In getting into a
''v" shaped crevice, but could not get
one way or the other. Finally waded
into the stream and walked along hold
ing to little pieces Of projecting rock,
and after working my way along like
this for several hours finally got out.
It was a close shave, and came very
near not making It.
From this time on, however, such
trips as these will be obviated. The
government has provided US with
post-ofice, and given us free delivery,
This is not promise, but has already
been done. Captain Abercrombie has
built a trail clear to the divide, and
from this on there will be no glaciers
to cross.
"The stories Of men starving to death
in that country are absolutely false, as
there is plenty to eat up there II you
want 1t. You can go out any day and
get bear, caribou, moose. sheep and
goats, and all the streams are literally
alive with salmon. The fishing is so
good that you can't fish at all, but you
can 20 into stream and in short
time Kick out enough fsh to last for
week or two.
Contrary to all superstition, the gla-
cier streams are not clear. but are at
all times worse than the Ohio river ever
was during It's worst floods The water
is Of n graylsh color. and is so full of
dirt that If you take a bucket full and
let 1t set ten minutes you will have

HIDES AND TALLOw.

The circular of the Sumner Tanning Com
pany says:
The Eastern trade has been in our market
for certain lines of hides, which have taken
away all surplus stocks and values there
fore have been well sustained.
Some lines of leather have been active, and
in consequence the heavy class of hides rules
at very liberal figures We are inclined to
think that the present prices viii continue for
some time at least.
Wet Sailed Heavy Steers are in demand for
harness and sbirting.
Wet Sailed Medium and Light Steers are
fairly active.
Wet Sailed Cows sell readily
Wet Sailed Veal. Kip and Calf are active and
rule at full rates.
Deer Skins continue rather quiet, although
sales are made at very fair figures. Cali
fornia Deer Skins virtually prohibited by
law, but large quantities of these skins come

the Northern and Western States. The sum

fall skins are quiet but the winter, thin or
paper skins very dull at low rates.
The tallow market continues fairly active,
and good grades of talow bring full prices.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Stocks again made
further progress upward to-day and in some
cases the advances were considerable. Tran
sactions in stocks were a million, max
ing the third million-share day this week
while the other days trading was little short
of the millon-share mark. Transactions so
far this week have exceeded those of any sim
ilar period in the exchanges history. London

CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, Jan. 13.-Unexpected strength at
Liverpool, where the market quoted Fad
higher. Notwithstanding the weakness here
yesterday, started wheat strong. This adj
vance, which wholly independent OF any
shown conditions, made shorts somewhat nerv-
Gus, and instead of May wheat being pressed
for sale at 70%c, as it yesterday after
noon, there were buyers anxious to get II at
from 71Aq113sc Local professionals, who, al
week, placed very little confidence in the open
ing rally, and in accordance with their views
sold the advance. When May rose to

satisfaction of a decline to Tic. New York
wired early in the day that the foreign de-
mand for wheat and corn had improved and
there good amount reported disposed
of at Kansas City for direct export by way OF
Gulf ports This held the market fairly
steady until renewed reports from Argentina
claiming that the weather all that could
be desired and that the exportable surplus
was being enlarged, started longs selling on a
more elaborate scale. May got down to 709sc
and closed at 70a4c buyers.
Continued wet weather and the wheat rally
strengthened corn at the start. Heavy re-
ceipts were against the price, however, and as
the market given little support, free SELL

A good cash demand and speculative buying
helped oats Prices were not maintained.
however, the market eased on in sympathy
with corn. May closed at 277sc.
Further taking of profits by recent bulls in
provisions caused another slight decline in
prices. The market was burdened through
