Fresh Stories of the Wonders of the
Klondike Regionb Fortunes Made
In a Few Months — Guarding
Against Probable Sufl‘erings.
\.
Seattle, Wash., July 22.—There are
promises of an additional steamer serv-
ice between this city and St. Michael’s,
and also a line of Yukon river steamers,
to be put in service by a company that
is being organized by local and eastern
capitalists. The scheme is to build a
seagoing steamer and a light draft riv-
er steamer for the business between St.
Michael’s and Dawson City in the new
The company is organizing
on a $200,000 paid in capital basis.
B. W. Shaw, formerly a well known
insurance man of this city, has written
a letter to a. business man here,
in which he says: “This is a great min-
ing strike, probably the greatest on the
American continent or in the world.
Gold has not been found in great pay-
ing quantities except on two creeks
covered by about 200 claims. Some of
the pay streaks are nearly all gold. One
thousand dollars to the pan is not an
uncommon thing, and as high as 100
ounces have been taken out in a single
pan. It is not unusual to see men com-
ing in with all the gold dust they can
carry.
“You would not believe me when I
tell you that I went into one cabin and
counted five five gallon cans full of gold
dust, but it is a fact. It is the result of
the work of two men during the Win—
ter, and the dump is not much' more
than half worked out.- There has been
about $2,000,000 in dust taken out so far
in the district. At a low estimate I be-
lieve there will be $50,000,000 taken out
during the next year."
Rush to Get to the Klondike Region.
San Francisco, July 22.—Tales of sud-
den wealth in Alaska continue to be
told by returning miners, and the rush
to get to the goldfields before winter
sets in is as fierce as ever. The steam—
ship Portland sails from Seattle tomor-
row, the Mexico leaves the same port
on Sunday and the City of Topeka on
July 28. None of these vessels has any
room left for passengers.
Every one who wants to get to the
Klondike and has not engaged passage
on one of these boats must wait for the
August boats, and that means that he
will reach the diggings just as the ter-
rible arctic winter is about to freeze
everything up solid for six long months.
Those who leave now will not fare much
better. There is sure to be destitution
and perhaps famine in Dawson City
this winter.
Last winter was unusually wild in
Alaska, and a correspondingly severe
one is looked for this year.
Clarence Berry of Fresno has arrived
in this city from Klondike. He first
went there about three years ago. Last
year he came back and married Miss
Ethel Bush of Fresno, and she returned
with‘him to the diggings.
They settled at Forty Mile camp.
Berry received a letter in October, 1896,
from George McCormack, who first dis—
covered gold on the Klondike, announc-
ing the find. Berry went up the river
on a. raft, and his wife followed soon
afterward on a steamboat. Berry had
$2,000 worth of provisions, and he se-
‘ cured with this an interest in 16 mines.
, Berry and his wife brought home
with them $85,000, and he still owns an
interest in over a. dozen claims.
Berry is but 27 years old. His wife
was the first white woman who ever
undertook the difiicult and dangerous
journey overland from Juneau to Forty
Mile.
The Alaska Commercial company will
fill with provisions the steerage of the
steamship Excelsior, which sails from
Seattle for St. Michael’s on July 28. The
company wishes to rush in Dawson all
the food possible, for fear that a. famine
may occur there before.the ice breaks
up in May or June next; President
Gloss says that unless the food supply
is large the inhabitants will die “like
rats in a trap,” for'the only way out is
overland on snowshoes to Juneau, and
men unusued to exposure cannot make
that trip. ‘
Preparing For the Rush. .
Port Townshend, Wash., July 22. —
Owing to the present rush to the Klon-/
dike goldfields and the still greater rush
which is expected next spring the Puget
Sound Tugboat company has decided
to put a. steamer on the Yukon river to
carry passengers and freight from St.
Michael’s to Circle City, and the Klon-
dike valley steamboat men here esti-
mate that at the beginning of next April
3. large steamer can leave the sound for
Alaska daily with all the passengers
and freight accommodations crowded.

California Catarrh Cure is the great-

If you want proofs we will refer you
to cures.
Mr. Joseph A. Band, 3. Newburyport,
Mass, man, says:p“1 was troubled for
many years with catarrh and hay fever.
I doctored lots for it, but for all the
money I spent so, I got no help. My
head troubled me so much, that I was
kept constantly hawking and spitting.
In the summer on the 20th of August,
I always had hay fever, which lasted
till the frosts came.
ways left my catarrh much worse, and
at last I had all the symptoms of the
disease. As I said, all the doctoring I
by good luck I heard of California Ca-
taarh Cure, and better luck, I used
some. The first bottle relieved me at
once, and did me an immense amount
of good. It cleared my head, and kept
it clear, made my throat feel all right,
and was so pleasant to take too; I kept
on using it right through the summer,
and it helped my hay fever wonder-
fully. It relieves at once and thorough
use will cure the worst cases. I am
glad to recommend it as it has done so
much for me.
California Catarrh Cure is for sale by
all dealers. Price 50 cents; three
times as much, $1.

Her Anxiety to Select .Her ’Best Dress
For n‘or Court Appearance. /
New York, July 22.—One of the most
earnest workers in the efforts to secure
a confession from Martin Thorn since
Thorn has been confined in the Tombs
has been Perrin H. Sumner. known as
the great American identifier, "who was
convicted in the general sessions court
a month ago of swindling Charles H.
Goodwin of Boston out of $1,200 in a.
Jersey land deal. Sumner had beer:
confined in the hospital ward of the
prison with the alleged slayer of VVil-
liam Guldensuppe, the rubber in th
Turkish bath. He took advantage or
being in the same ward with Thorn by“
making a. persistent effort to find out
from his fellow prisoner what had been
done with the missing head.
He‘ was to have been sent to Sing
Sing last week, but he told the repre
sentatives of the district attorney’s of-
frce that he was making great progress
and that he expected to have a full
confession from Thorn. Recognizing
the ability of Sumner as a bunko man,
the. district attorney kept him in the
city prison for a time to see what might
come out of his efforts.
Counsel for Thorn finally learned that
Sumner was worrying his client by
continfially asking him what he had
done with the head. Every time the
, question was asked Thorn would reply,
“What head?” That was all the prog-
ress Sumner was able to make. On the
complaint of counsel Sumner was
transferred to another ward of the pris-
on. This ended the efforts of the great
American identifier, and, the district
attorney having learned that the swinw
dler was in reality engaged in a scheme
for a temporary reprieve, it was order-
ed today that Sumner be taken to
state’s prison at once.
As this was the day on which Mrs.
Nack and Martin Thorn were to appear
in court again to listen to the argument
on the demurrer to the indictment there
was a. bustling scene in the women’s
prison at the Tombs today. Mrs. Nack
was especially worried about the dress
that she was to select from her large
wardrobe. It we. suggested by the
matron, Mrs. Smi h, that it would be
appropriate for her to wear a. black
dress. Then came the question as to
which one of her hats she should wear.
This she talked over with the greatest
apparent interest, and she meanwhile
took many little side glances at th(
looking glass to see which was the most
becoming. The wdman was as greatly
interested as if she were about to dress
for attendance at some social event and
not for the serious matter at hand.
Martin Thorn took the whole thing.
as usual, as a matter of course. He
was careful to see to it that he was well
groomed for his appearance in court.
He was shaved and put on clean linen.
and when he was all ready to go across
the Bridge of Sighs he made a very
neat appearance. He did not have any
wardrobe to select from, as had Mrs.
Nack, and he was therefore spared the
necessity of worrying about the suit
that he was to wear to be arraigned
before the bar. “
As for the court proceedings, they had
to do solely with points of law and thc
question as to whether the indictment
had been legally drawn. The principal-
point alleged against the indictment
was the same as that alleged in the mo-
tion for ball that was made before
Justice Truax. That point was the
allegation that this county has no juris-
diction over the crime, as it was com-
mitted in Queens county.
During the whole timeof the argu-
ment the Nack woman and Martin
Thorn did not for one moment turn their
heads so that they could look in each
other’s faces. They sat bolt upright
facing the court as if they were sitting
for their pictures. Once. whether inad-
vertently or not no one could tell, Thorn
moved his foot so that it touched that
of the woman. No sign of recognition
followed.
