Seattle, Wash., Nov. 29. Twenty-five men arrived here yesterday on the City of Seattle direct from Dawson City. They were divided Into two parties, the last one of which left Dawson Oct. 16. They came out over the Dawson trail, and are reported to have between them $60,000 in dratts and $200,000 in gold dust. All tell stories of a food shortage In Dawson that Is almdst a famine. The last person to leave Dawson ws Jack Dalton. When Dalton left the steam ers Alice and Bella had reached there. landed light. It Is said that the Bella's cargo consisted of whisky and billiard balls. She brought no provisions. The Canadian government mounted police chartered the Bella, ,and gave all who wished a free passage to the Yukon. The Bella Is reported to have left about Oct. 12 with 200 men. According to the statements made by members of the Dalton party there is liable to be trouble of the most seri ous kind this winter in Dawson. Billy Leak told one of the men in the party ahead of him whom he. met at Dyea that all the people talk about at Daw son Is the food famine, fiien were gathering in groups and cursing with might and main the new comers that were constantly arriving in the Klon dike loaded with scarcely any pro visions. The mounted police were offer ing transportation to the grub placers further down the Tukon, to Fort Yukon, but to the countless hundreds who had labored hard all through the summer, accumulating a grub stake, the prospect was uninviting, to say the least. The men figured that it would take all their earnings In gold to pay their living expenses at Fort Yukon during the winter, and that in the spring' they would not even have enough left to pay passage money back to Dawson, to say nothing of purchasing enough food to subsist until they could get started again. To these poor fellows the offer of the mounted police was no better than the prospect at Dawson of being compelled to live on half rations until the supply of boats could reach the diggings in the, spring. John V. Brauer.the united States mall carrier, who left Dawson Sept. 27, said: There is only one salvation for the miners who are now at DawEon City, and that Is for them to undertake the awful winter trip from Dawson to Fort Yukon, a distance of 400 miles. There Is no food at Fort Yukon, there Is none at Dawson, and Just as sure as the stars shine terrible suffering will be the fate of the Dawson miner unless he leaves there before spring. When I left Dawson the men who were there had on an average four months' food supply. Some did not have a month's supply, and some had four or Ave. Tha restaurant closed the night I left. It had been selling nothing but beefsteak, for which the hungry paid $2. When the people realized that the boats would be unable to get up tho river they knew that starvation threat ened them, and the great stampede began. The first to leave went to Fort Yukon. I guess there were about ten In the party that left the first day. One boat that came up from Fort Yukon with several newspaper men aboard, among them Correspondent Sam Wall and a Mr. McGllvrav. brought the news that the Hamilton had unloaded all of her cargo and tried to get over the bar light and failed in her efforts, though she drew but two feet of water. This news In creased the excitement and made the rush toward food centers all the greater. On Sept. 14 Bert Nelson, of Seattle, and myself left Circle City and started to pole up the river to Dawson City, a distance of 300 miles. At the same time we started from Circle City the miners had about taken their departure. It took us 11 days andjhree hours to make the Journey, arriving at Dawson Sept. 20. Captain Hanson, with two Indians who had left Fort Yukon, beat us into Dawson, by about an hour and a half. Hanson gathered the Dawson City min ers together and made a short speech in which he advised all who did not have provisions to last the winter to go to civilization, 'That night was tha greatest one in the history of Dawson City. The min ers, as soon as they heard the news, made hasty preparations to get out, and nightfall saw the gold seekers sell out for many thousands of dollars, leaving by thousands for down the river or up the river points. The little steamer Kiukuk was besieged by would-be passengers, who offered as high as $360 that they might be aboard Wjilla she made her Journey of 175 miles to Telly. The Ktukuk left Daw son on the afternoon of Sept. 27 with 12 or 15 passengers. "We left Dawson the next day. When we left the only thing you could pos sibly buy was sugar, baking powder, spices and some dried fruit. No flour, bacon or anything of that kind oould be purchased from any of the stores. simply because they did not have them. Bo long as the stores had any provis ions prices remained the same. The stores treated the men all right under all olrcumstanccs, never made advances in pi ices, knowing a shortage was coming, and knew that they had but 10 ask for high prices and receive it. can relate, however, an Instance where a private party sold tu a miner a sack of flour for $76 and bacon at $1 a pound." II. A. Ferguson said: "The situation at Dawson was relieved by the exodus to Port Yukon. I doubt If there will be actual starvation there, but there will be a shortage. The old timers have provisions enough to carry them through. The stores are praotl rally cleaned out. All they would sell Men Leaving Dawson City to Threatened Starvation. wfih five pounds of sugar to ine men Flour could not be bought at all. One or two sacks were quickly picked up at $200 per sack. Wages are still $15 a day, but they are sure to go down to $8 by next summer, and 18 a day there Is no more than $1.60 a nay outside." Two Tire Flirhters Injured, Philadelphia, Nov.
