EXODUS TO CAPE NOME.
Transportation Facilities Will Limit
the Number Going Out.

San Francisco, Cal, April 21.-One of
the most widely discussed topics on the
coast just now is the rush toCape Nome.
There are various estimates of the num-
Der of people going there this season.
Some of the local newspapers estimate
the number at $4,000. One of the best
sources of information concerning the
arctic gold fields is at the office of the
Alaska Commercial company, which has
been engaged in business with the far
north for thirty years. Discussing the
Alaska gold fields, Leon SlOss, an officer
of the company, said:
I'VE have come to the conclusion that
there will not be more than $4,000 people
at Nome this season, simply because
that number will exhaust the tranSpor-
tatiOn facilities A few vessels will carry
500 passengers each, but the average will
not exceed $50. There will be about fifty
vessels engaged in this service, some OF
which will make only one trip. These
fifty vessels will take up this spring
1900 people; on the second trip there
will not be more than $500; about $500
will go down the Yukon from Dawson,
and there are about $500 at Cape Nome
now The second trips of these vessels
will be made early in July"
1.-THE statement made by San Fran
cisco papers that there would be 10000
people going into the Cape Nome mines
this season is an exaggeratiOn, then?
"Of cousse it is, as can be easily shown
by making a calculation of the carrying
facilities available. When the Dawson
excitement broke out the papers here
talked about 100 600 people going into
that country from Great Britain alone"
What will be the passage rate to
Cape Nome2"
Some of the companies charge 500
first class and SIS second. We charge
sI25 first class. On our first trip, leav-
ing San Francisco on April 30 our
charge is S175, because we may have TO
keep our passengers on board for a
month after we get up north. People
are in rush to go, and we are willing
to take them, provided we are paid Tor
the service. About May 10 we VIII send
out a freight steamer, on which large
| number. of horses will be shipped, and
on May 20 our steamer st. Paul will go
out with 500 passengers. On all Of the
big steamers the berths were sold a
month ago."
How early do you expect to Ian
! passengers at NOme2"
THAT depends entirely on the direc-
| ton Of the prevailing winds. 1t is no
/ a question as to how cold the weaJhe
/ is If the wind sets in from the north
west. it viii move the ice away from
| the shore. and then vessels can Ian
earlier But if it is from the south c
| west, there viii be a delay in landing
for large vessels. We have been as
late as July 1 in landing.
1.-The indications are there will he no
| lack of food supplies We are taking
as much as 400 tons of supplies of va
rious kinds for single shippers"
What is the outlook for minerS2
VERY promising. Last year they did
not get to work until late in the sea
SON There were only a few of them
and their methods We're of the crudest
sort. and yet they took out about So
600 600 in gold, half of it from the beach
diggings."
A dredger company, advertising stock
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1900-04-21

for sale, referring to the beach dig
g1ngs, uses very large figures, thus:
1t is said by all the men working
on the beach at Nome last season that
there was taken out by each man with
a rocker not less than SIG per day. As
no one man can, with a rocker, work
more than one yard per day, it will be
seen that the sand must have averaged
about SIS per cubic yard, and a machine
handling 1900 cubic yards per day
would produced $24 600 for each twenty
four days; and during the 100 days
which constitute the season, and dur
ing which there is continuous daylight,
such machines would produce 81, 400 900.
These figures seem to be enormous, but
they are fully borne out by the almost
unanimous opinion of those who have
returned from Cape Nome"

SAVED $4,000.
Official Figures on Harper County
Controversy.

The state saved by having c. R.
Richey and N. D. Sanders check over
the books of the treasurer of Earper
county, $61O3.43. The county claimed
at the outset that the state owed So
5S2 Il on the assessment account, but
the checking of the accounts proved
that the county owed the state 81. 66302,
which has been RENTED by the county.
This checking proved that the state
had overpaid the county S2109 81, which
has been rectifed by the county, and
the account with the state is now
squared.
The claim at first made by the county
was so large that the state auditor and
treasurer combined in a. plan to have
the county records examined, with the
result that it was found to be the de-
hnquent party to the transaction.
