AN EARNEST APPEAL To Would-Be Klondike Miners to Stay at Home And Not Go North Until the Spring—Stam• Woo, Suffering nud Oeath Storing Thou■nndn in the Face—Impossible to Ship Provision* to Them This Foil. Seattle, Wash., Aug. SO.—H. N. Stanley, who went to St. Michaels in the interest of the press, returned to this city on the steamer Portland.; He says: *‘I have been seven weeks at the mouth of the Yukon at St. Michaels, where I saw all the miners coming out and interviewed them. As a result, I feel it my duty to advise everybody to stay out until next spring. Wild and, in many cases,exaggerated rept^rtshave been circulated since the first discoveries were made. The strike, however, was and is one of the greatest if not greatest in the world’s history. No new strike had been reported up to the time of my leaving and another may not be made for five years, although Alaska is an enormous country and will yet, I believe, produce more gold than we dream of. But it is also in many ways a bleak, barren, desolate country—a country incapable of supporting any great amount of animal life, and & country of such rigorous climate both winter and spring, that none but the most hardy cau possibly live in it.

“1 am aware there is a popular 1 repression that supplies cau be bought in the vieinity of the mines. They may at present buy at six times Seattle prices, but they are taken at even those figures faster than they can be got in, aud before winter is half over will be actual starvation. “The average man requires about one tou of earefuly selected food and clothing for a year’s supplies. In the summer of lsiki about 8,500 tons of supplies went up the river, and the new population of 1,500 to 2,000 suffered from want. Of this 3,500 tons probably 1,500 were rum, tools, furniture aud supplies other than provisions. This season, allowing the most favorable circumstances, not morje than 4.200 tons of supplies can be got up the river, fully half of which is rum aud tools, as well as supplies other thau food. There are more than three times as many people there now than last winter. Figure it out for yourself. “tfrub was completely cleaned out this spring and last winter there was such a scarcity that moose hams sold for §10 each, Hour S120 per hundred and bacon one dollar a pound. What will happen this coming winter? Why, will not people actually starve tc death? “As to shelter 90 per cent, of Dawson was living in tents in July. Labor is scarce and houses cannot be built. How are 7,000 people to withstand the rigors of a nine-months winter of semidarkness, when the mercury goes 70 degrees below zero? “As to labor—it is true that last win-' ten the winter succeeding the great strike, men were scarce aud wagec were §15 a day, but if no new strike is made what is to keep wages up this winter. There are but 340 claims on Bonanza, £1 Dorado and Hunker creeks that will probably be worked this winter, au average of eight men to each is, 1 think, liberal. If but 2,700 men are employed and there are 5.000 or more seeking work, what must be the result? Wages must go down. “1 am told that much grub has gone over the divide, yet from what 1 know I would wager my last dollar that not to exceed 500 tons of supplies over and above what the carriers ate will reach the diggiugs. No man going in can arrive with more than a four-months supply. “1 am also told that there is plenty at St. Michaels. So there may be, but after September 15, it might as well be in New York city, for to try to transport it by dog train or sled over 2,000 miles of icy river is absolutely impossible. There is not, nor will there ever be a dog train that can take enough in to feed itself over 1,200 miles, lteliei is, therefore, impossible. Over the divide in the winter would be quite as difficult.

•'To draw provisions for the trip from Dyeu to Dawson any time before the spring breaks up is au impossibility. Relief for those caught iu the Klondike after winter sets iu is equally impossible, and in the name of humanity 1 ask that a stop be put to this wholesale transportation of people without supplies. Let no man be allowed to enter that region unless he carries with him enough food ami clothing to last him a year. “There are women and little children in there to-dav who should be sent out as far as St. Michael before navigation closes. “1 hear much of the boats that are building to go up the river, but aside from one steamer ready on August 11, no new boat can be added to the carrying crop this fall. The Klondike is a laud or ice and snow as well as a land of gold. • “Let it not be a land of gaunt hunger, wretchedness and death. Let no one be allowed to wrest from the foolish people a few hundred thousand saved, borrowed or begged dollars. There will be as good chances for mining in the future as now. Let the people wait This is not a Cripple Creek or Dead wood proposition. If caught the; cannot walk out” FAMINE AND DEATH What U likely to Occur oa -the Klondike Tide Winter. Sax Francisco, Aug. SO.—W. A. Ryan, a special correspondent en route to the Yukon gold fields, writes from St Michael, under date of Angnst 15, to the effect that there is grave danger of a famine on the Klondike this winter. According to all reports r eceived from the upper country it will be impossible to land sufficient food at Dawson City to support the population already dependent upon that base of supplies for subsistence.
