STAMPEDE TO BLUESTONE
Alleged Discovery of Rich Pincers
Near Cape York Results in
Rush to the Scene.

The steamer Elihu Thomson. Capt. b.
p. Whitney, arrived in port this morn
ing at o'clock from Nome. The Thorn
son brought ls6 passengers and had an
uneventful trip, with no serious Illness
and no death on the voyage. The amount
OF gold brought down was not known.
but 1t is said that very little was on
board
The Thomson sailed from Nome Aug
ust q. making the trip In twelve days.
She brought as passengers many persons
who we're nearly destitute At the time
she sailed conditions were little changed,
there being about 1900 people In camp.
and many OF these in poor condition for
the coming winter Great uneasiness
prevails among the stranded gold seekers
as they see no prospect OF escape from
suffering when cold weather sets in.
A report had reached Nome before the
Thomson sailed that rich placers had
been struck on Bluestone creek, this side
OF Cape York, and miners from that re-
sion reported that they had taken out a
large amount Of gold. A stampede had
resulted and all the small vessels about
Nome had headed for the scene Of the
strike. Many persons unable to obtain
passage on these vessels started out in
small boats
Capt Whitney. OF the Thomson. states
that number OF the first claims located
al Nome are now showing up very WELL
but that the past season has been prac-
tically devoted to getting ready for work
