THE APPOINTED SAILINGS.
A Man Who Knows Predicts That There
Will Be Great Sufl‘ering Even at Dyea.
Next Winter—Mines to Be Bond-
ed—A Canard Exploded.
Seattle, “rash, Aug. 5.—-The steamer
George E. Starr sailed for Alaska early
today with 90 passengers and 20 horses.
On Aug. 9 the steamer Queen will go
north. .She will carry between 500 and
600 passengers. ‘On the same date the
steam barge Ajax will be towed to Dyea
by a tug loaded with stock. On Aug. 8,
the ship Klondike, chartered .by Taco—
ma parties, will sail. 0n the same day
the steamer Coquitlan will sail from
Vancouver. The Topeka and Rosalie
' will sail on the 12th, the Alki on the
17th, the Queen on the 22d, the Mexico
on the 23d, and the Topeka on the 27th.
Of these, all will go through to Dyea
save the Topeka, which will go no
farther than Juneau unless business
justifies.
Regardless of the congestion of
freight at Dyea and Skagguay and the
numerous difficulties encountered by
the gold seekers in getting their packs
and freight transported across the sum-
mit to the lakes, the rush north only
seems to gain fresh impetus.
Hotels and boarding houses are
crowded to the utmost, stores are
rushed night and day, working double
shifts of clerks in filling orders and out-
fitting miners for the Klondike, while
streets and wharfs are jammed with
goods and drays.
This morning Captain Carroll of the
Queen, who has long been familiar with
Alaska and its trade, says men are go-
ing too late in the season, and many
now at Dyea will not be alive by the
end of the winter, but still they go, and
it is only a question of transportation
facilities to accommodate them.
Packers Are Independent.
‘ PbrtTand, Or., Aug. 5.—John H. Smith
0:. Portland, United States commission-
er, for Alaska, writing from Juneau,
says: “There are 500 persons now at
Dyea waiting to get over the pass, and
there are several more steamer loads on
the way. The Indian packers and the
pack animals have all the freight they
can carry to the lakes by the time win-
ter sets in, and hundreds of people will
be camping at Dyea and on the lakes
all winter, eating the provisions they
have taken with them. Prices for pack-
Ing across the pass have risen to 25 and
27 cents per pound, and the packers are
independent at that,”

f.‘ A Rumor Denied.
Tacoma, Aug. 5.—There is no truth in
the report that the Northern Pacific
has refused to grant leave of absence
to its employees. The railway officials
say they have plenty of men to handle
all their business. The street car com-
panies, however, are having some trou-
ble, as many of their employees have
gone to the Klondike country.
Heavy Gold Deposits at San Francisco Mint.
San Francisco, Aug. 5.——All mint rec-
ords were broken by the receipt of $3,-
750,000 in gold for coinage. Of this
amount, $750000 was the property of
the Alaska Commercial company, and
the balance was deposited by various
miners and smelting companies. It is
said that this far exceeds any single
day's deposits at any one. mint._
Prospector-s Not Discouraged.
San Francisco. Aug. 5.——The steamers
Noy and Walla will leave for Alaska
tomorrow. The former will carry “150
Klondike passengers. who are well sup-
plied with outfits and burros to go over
the Chilkat pass. Reports of the snow
on the mountains and of the fearful
condition both at the Chilkat and
White passes have dampened the ardor
of many here. but a number of vessels
are advertised to sail as late as the mid-
dle of the month. and one goes by way
of St. Michael’s. That vessel has about
one chance in ten of getting its pas-
sengers up the Yukon before ice comes.
Two well known brokers will leave
here tomorrow with strong backing to
bond any good placer mines they may
find near Dawson. No mines have been
bonded here and the story that New
York investors have bonded Clarence
Berry’s mines for $2,000,000 is a fake.
Canada’s Precautions.
’ Vancouver. B. 0., Aug. 5.—A private
dispatch .says that the Canadian gov-
ernment is sending a special commis-
sion to the Yukon this month, consist-
ing of surveyors. geologists and tele-
graph xperts. Telegraph and telephone
lines will be built between the principal
mining camps.
Another Company Incorporated.
Albany, Aug. 5.——-New Yorkers are the
promoters of the Casta G Klondike
Gold Mining company. which was in-
corporated with the secretary of state
today, with a capital of $20,000, for the
purpose of operating gold mines in
Alaska and the Klondike region. The
directors are Samuel H. Gainsborg,
Benjamin Gainsborg, William Samson,
Elias Samson and Benjamin Franklin,
all of New'York city.

Ex-State Senator Killed.
Independence, Kan., Aug. 5.—Dan Mc—
Taggart, ex-state senator from Mont-
gomery county and prominent as a Re-
publican politician, was shot and killed
today at McTaggart’s mill, near Liber-
‘ty, by Henry Sheesley, lessee of the
mill. McTaggart's 14-year-old son was
also shot in the arm. Sheesley was ar-
rested.
Transvaal Raid Indemnity.
London, Aug. 5.—B. F. Hawkesley,
counsel for Cecil Rhodes, ex-premier of
Cape Colony, today stigmatized as
“nonsense” the report that Mr. Rhodes
and Alfred Beit had personally paid
the Transvaal government $250,000 as
indemnity for the raid of Dr. S. Jame-
son.
Settled by Arbitration.
Springfield, Dis, Aug. 5.——The differ-
ences between a number of large Chi-
cago printing and bookbinding firms
and their employees have been settled
by the state board of arbitration in fa-
vor of the latter. Both sides will abide
by the decision.

The People Iii llIo llorwalks are Ili-
Ially Interested.
One Case, and There are
Others.
There is alarge body of boltcrs in
the N orwalks and vicinity.
The movement has been gaining
force for some time and has become so
powerful that those interested are
anxious to declare themselves. They
are bolting ancient and useless methods
of treating catarrh and hay fever, and
they have come over in full force for
California Catarrh Cure because they
have tried it and know its worth. Here
are the words from a Norwalk man
who has tried many medicines and
treatments before he got what he
wanted California Catarrh cure the
greatest and Only known cure for ca-
tarrh:
Mr. Alfred Platt, 9 Maple street,
Nor-walk. says: “I have been a great
sufferer from catarrh for over thirty
years, having contracted the disease
during the war. My whole head
seemed full of scabs, and the discharge
fromthe nose and into the throat was
something awful. My head achcd al-
most continually, and I never got a
good night’s sleep. I procured a hot.
the of California Uatarrh Cure at Plais-
ted’s drug store, South N orwalk. It
has given me more relief than I have
had for years; my head is very much
improved and I can now sleep all night.
It is certainly a great reliever, and I
am glad to recommend it. Nothing
among all the things I tried before
helped me one quarter as much in
months, as C. C. U. basin a few weeks.”
You don't have to wait to find out if
it- will help you for it relieves at once.
To avoid Hay Fever in its season, use
C. C. C. now. It is a sure preventive
of this and all mucous-diseases. Use it
to break up your colds, and to prevent
colds “hanging on. ” Price 50 cents;
three times as much for one dollar.
BEN BU'T'TERWO‘RTH'S RUSE.
hone at Which Several Prominent Mu:
Assisted.
About a year ago President McKin-
ny, Commissioner of Patents Butter
worth and one or two other gentlemen
were traveling and occupied the same
smoking apartment, according to the
Washington Star. The conversation
turn-ed to the Patent Office, and one.
of the strangers inquired whether any
of the others had known ex-Commis-
sioner of Patents Butterwortli.
“Oh, yes,” promptly replied Major
Butterworth; “I knew Ben Butter—
worth when he was a boy. I have
often seen his father give him a sound
licking.”
“But that can‘t be the one I mean;
his father was a Quaker.”
“Yes, he was a Quaker. But I simp-
ly testify to what I have seen. I have
frermently seen Ben get a licking. His
father licked him once or twice a wool»:
regularly.” '
"How did you happen to be on haw!
when he got licked?” inquired th
stranger.
“Oh. I played with Ben and 1 was
generally around.” At this point in the
:onversution a friend of Major Butter-
worth joined the company and called
him by name.
The stranger heard it, and, coming
over 10 him, remarked:
“Bufiug a Quaker. I thought the Old
Irish {lid wrong to lick Ben, but now l
