stampede OF 1893. Six or seven big steam
ers have run regularly to Lynn canal all
winter. and since January / seldom has a
vessel gone north with light passenger
list. For the past three weeks the crowds
have been unusually large, as shown by
that OF the Cottage City. which sailed
last night for Skagway. Eighty-two pas
sengers boarded the steamer In this city,
eight or ten In Tacoma, while Victoria
and Port Townsend are expected to swell
the number to over 100
One-third OF the number are making
the trip in connection with mining ven

leading operators In the Kiondke. was a
