Following is letter in part written
aboard the Humboldt while in the Boring
Sea by Mrs. NJ. l.. Ferguson. formerly of
Skagwav, to a friend in this city;
SIT was my good fortune to secure pass
age to Nome on the Humboldt. We got
aWav amid the cheers of thousands. If at
first doubt existed in the minds of any
OF the passengers that thav had made a
mistake in choosing this ship it was soon
diSpelIed and perfect confidence reigned.
Capt. BonniheId soon won the confidence
of his passengers so that at night we slept
as though our staunch ship was landlocked
in some harbor of safety.
THE Humboldt has well earned the
title of Alaskan FLYER. Every dav she Is
earning new laures, ana since we started
has added thousands of names to her list oil
admirers
Although handicapped and DELAYED by
fog we made the record trip to Dutch
Harbor. and anchored there amidst fifteen
of the Nome fleet that had preceded us BY
weeks. After few DAYS there were
twenty ships in the harbor, something
never before seen in an Alaskan harbor.
with the exception of our ship and
the Chas. D. Lane heard of none that
did not have trouble with the passengers.
1.-The trip was like pleasure jaunt to
the passengers and harmony reigned on
all sides owing to the perfect system of
management. cannot say too much in
praise of Capt BonnifeId, or his obliging
steward, Mr.. Young, for he handles this
immense throng, serving 1000 meals dav
in the small space allowed him with per-
feet ease, and is at all times obliglng,
Nor can too much be said in praise OF
gord natured, obliging Johnny Carroll,
the purser.
II shall certainly return by Capt. Bon
nifield's ship in the fall should she be on
the run.
} Capt. Bonnlfield will arrive at Nome
with passengers and crew in first-class
J health and spirits, and ready to battle
with the hardships of new mining coun'
try"

IANANA STRIKE

to Nome to New Field.
GOOD PANS TAKEN OUT

GOOD PANS TAKEN OUT
Original Creeks are Staked, But the
Prospectors are Scattering Into
Adjacent Parts--The Country IL
Very Hard to Enter.

The new diggings on the American side
in the Yukon basin, known as the Tanana
strike, are receiving some attention in the
interior, and are declared by certain ones
who have been there to be verv promising
John A. Hoffbauer, who has returned to
Dawson from the first stampede to the
new Tanana digginsg, said:
1.-The ground on the principal creeks in
the district, namely Faith, Hope, Charity,
Deep and Homestake, has all been pros
pected, but there is plenty of unprospected
country in all directions, to which new
Corners are focking. The diggings, as a
rule, are shallow, bedrock appearing close
to the surface.
"McCracl<en, the discoVerer of Faith creek,
is located on Homestake. His claim has a
cut to bedrock. Further down Pat ken>
eallv has his sluice boxes, and is already
shoveing He has found five and ten
cents through his ground, and is confident
the gravel will average two ounces daily
to the man
"On Faith creek, Bar ming, Austin and
his brother have sluice boxes IN position
and are ready to begin washing up. Ike
Long on 7 below on Faith, has struck
good paw on the lower end OF his claim,
getting from IS cents to 81 from reef of
bedrock that projects,
Some 30 men are staying in the country
this summer. The best known creeks
have been staked, but grazing is fine and
prospectors are scattering"
The greatest difficulty is encountered by
the prospector in getting into the Tanana
camp, The camp lies we'll back OF Circle
Civ, A man cannot pack much more
than IS pounds on the trip, and as it is a
long and arduous journey, this amount of
supplies scarcely keeps him on the way in
and out. The way leads through mud,
water and bothersome "nigger heads. "
The high charge for packing makes it I'm
possible for the average prospector to stand
the expense.
The camp is in American territory, and
people of all nationaities are entitled to
stake quartz or placer.
Henry Bray of Dawson received from j.
A. Duffy, under date of June -, a letter
stating in part:
81 did not go down the Yukon as ex-
pected. but took In the Tanana and am
glad did 50. got in before the main
rush and recorded in ali ID claims of 20
acres each.
Sin one place the gravel ran from IS
cents to 81. 50 pan. We PANIED 50 cents,
IS cents and 81 right along. One of the
boys took out an ounce in just two hours
! There has been little work done vet, but
think it will be second klondike with
more gold bearing territory.
"Nearlv everv man coming down the
river since we have come has stampeded to
the Tanana. and YOU will see as great a
rush here as there is to Nome.
81 would not advise anyone to come in
without horse or enough money to pay
for packing necessary grub at the rate of
$I.25 pound. A man ought to have no
less than 100 pounds | made the trip in
10 DAYS, with 65 pounds on my back, but
it takes a good man to do 1t, Tell our
friends this country is good to stake If
they get here earlv."

ARMISTICE REFUSED.
President Declined Offer OF
Chinese Minister.
FUTURE POLICY rs TO BE FREE.
The President said He Would Not Bind
Himself Not To Send Forces to Points
of Disorder and Where safety Of
Americans Are Endangered.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The Chinese
minister. WI Ting Fang, made an ef-
fort te secure an armistice in the opera
ton of American troops until III Hung
Chang could reach Pekin and bring
about cessation of the disorder. The
proposition was based upon the repre-
sensations OF the yieeroy's of the inn
portant provinces of the Yangtse Kiang
valley that they could maintain order
without the aid Of foreign troops, and
that the presence Of foreigners would
act merely as an incentive to disorder.
Minister WI brought these representa-
tons TO the attention OF Secretary Hay,
who consulted the president.
The latter's decision, as subsequently
conveyed to the minister, was that
while the assurance of the viceroy's for
continued quiet was fully appreciated,
the United States could not bind itself
not to send its forces to points where
disorder actually existed and where the
safety of our officials and citizens was
endangered. Technically speaking, in
the absence of state of war this was
not proposition of armistice, but high
government officials said it amounted
practically to an offer of armistice and
refusal ON the part of the United States
to make the arrangement.
LONDON, June 26.-The British cruiser

off had been relieved by another. At
