S.t.v Fhancisco, July 2s. Tho
throngs about overy shipping ofilco
that has ovon tho remotest Alaskan
relations have not diminished and It
would seem that the only circumstance
which prevents wholesnlo departure
Is the limit In transportation facilities.

men and women In hundreds are
kecking, some of them for Information,
most of them for transportation to the
hind where nuggets uro to bo had,
they think, for tho picking up.
Every day sees some now schemo for
overcoming the difficulties In the way
of reaching tho Klondyko and tho
fleet of steamers and schooners pressed
Into tho service Is growing steadily.
Tho latest of tho transportation
schemes is being engineered by Cup
tain Hcrriman of tho firm of Herri

by a number of persons anx

In response to numerous requests

told by Frank Moss of Orcat Falls,
Mont , that 2,000 graves at Forty Mllo

that, so far from thero being over
2,000 deaths in tho Klondyko during
the past three years, thero waa , no
body thero to dlo until something less
than a year ago, and slnco then thero
huvo been three deaths lit that whole

has served for all that section for
some years past, thero aro only be
tween thirty and forty graves.
Two moro miners from tho North
arrived here on tho City of l'ueblo
yesterday Henry Doro and J. E.
Uoueher and both tell of tho hardest
kind of experiences. Thirty dnys on

An Ico man named Rlttcrbusch,
while passing General Jamison's room
about 0:30 o'clock this morning, was

wealthy friends, but his intense pride
would not permit him to accent the
assistance which they would gladly
havo given him.
A scaled lotter addressed to his wife
was found In Jamison's room. Ho hnd
written on tho envelope that any per
