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

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

can relate, however, an Instance
where a private party sold tu a miner

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
