Forty Tons Cross Chllkoot Pass. ‘ ‘ Ice Sleds with Sails.‘ Port Townsend, Wash, Dec. 15. -—'1‘he steamer Alkl arrived yesterday with forty passengers, nearly_ all of whom are from Dyea, Skaguay or Sumdum. There was but one man—Hearn—trom Dawson City. He and seven others left Dawson two days after Jack Dalton’s party, but six of the crowd turned back after ten days’ travel up the river, and Hearn and one other ”man came on to Juneau, via Chilkoot Pass. Hearn came on south, leaving his part- ner in Juneau. He has nothing to report from Daw- son in addition to news brought out by Dalton’s party. He confirms the re- port that food is very scarce, and that there will be suffering there unless provisions arrive by the middle of Feb- ruary. Hearn is from Colorado. He owns a claim in the rich group on B0- nanza Creek, but- he has not worked it. He expects to return in the Spring. Packing over Skaguay trail has been resumed, the pass being reported in good condition. Forty tons of provis- ions were started over the pass the day the steamer left Skaguay, which was Dec. 8. The coldest weather experienced at Skaguay and Dyea this Winter was 4 degrees below zerm A. C. Sands, superintendent of the Northwest division of the Sunset Tele- phone Company, sailed on the Alki from Skaguay and Dyea, whither ,he went several weeks ago to look over the field with a view of constructing a line over the pass. “I shall certainly report to my com- pany favorably,” said he, “on the plan of constructing a telephone line from Sheep Camp to Lake Bennett, and pos- sibly recommend that a line be estab- lished from Skaguay to Lake Bennett over the White Pass. Both are destined ' to be busy thoroughfares, not only dur- ing next season, but for several seasons to come.” Sail Sleds with Supplies. Seattle, VVashq Dec. 15. — Moran Brothers have made the announcement that all details had been completed for the construction of sixteen river steam- ers for the Yukon Company. Next week the framing of the hulls'will be commenced, for which forty acres of tide lands have been leased. Within two weeks 1,200 men will be at work. The steamers will be completed and towed to the mouth of the Yukon by the time the river opens for navigation. The contract price is $1,000,000. On the City of Seattle, which sailed Monday night for Dyea and Skaguay, Alaska, were 275 passengers, including Dr. William C. Misener, of, San Fran- cisco, who will attempt to reach Daw- son City this Winter with supplies. He is taking with him a. large sled equip- ped with a sail for the purpose of crossing the ice. The sled will carry about two tons. At Dyea. Dr. Misener will be joined by his two brothers, who have already engaged dogs and Indians for the overland trip. The story that an Indian named Auk had come out from Dawson City, bring- ing the news that a large number of people were fleeing from Dawson is generally discredited here. G. W. Wood and other arrivals from.Juneau say Auk’s answers to questions indicate he did not come from Dawson. Dogs for the Klondike. New York, Dec. 15.—The steamship British King, which arrived here yes- terday from Antwerp, brought a. con.- signment of seventy Eskimo dogs. They are to be shipped to the Yukon, where they will be used in the transportation of supplies by sledges over the moun- tains to the Klondike. The consign- ment is the first of the kind that has ever been received in this city. It is understood thatthe dogs are the prop- erty of a. San Francisco‘corporation. GUARD FOR DURRANT’S PASTORl Police Believe that the Life of the Rev. Dr. Gibson Is in Danger. San Francisco, Dec. 15.—A local pa- per says the policc and the people of Emanuel Baptist Church believe that the life of the Rev. George Gibson, Theodore Durrant’s .former pastor, is in danger. The police have warned the reverend gentleman to protect himself against the possibility of harm. The warning has been heeded and Dr. Gibson is protected night and day. One of the members of his congrega- tion has volunteered his services as bodyguard, and “the police will detail an officer to attend every public ser- vice at Emanuel Church. Since the murder of Blanche Lament been made to cast suspicion on the pas- tor, and his refusal to be drawn into the case, even as' Durrant’s spiritual adviser, has caused some comment. Chief Lees, who made a most careful study 01' both murders, says there is 'not a single clew connecting the clergy- man With either the Minnie Williams or the Blanche Lamont murder. This Lees, as he started in with a strong prejudice against Mr. Gibson because of his efforts to suppress the facts and exclude reporters from gaining infor- . .mation about the crimes. Durrant will be resentenced to-glay and 11' is believed Feb. 7 willbe fixed as the date of execution. $00,000 Racer in New York.
