"FORTUNES TAKEN SOUTH
FROM CABO'S OF NORTH
Six million dollars’ worth of gold
bullion a million a month from the
properties hack of Nome worked by
powerful corporations with unlimited
capital and from the claims of hardy
miners far up the Yukon in the
Iditarod the Tahana Valley at ’Rhhy
and along the *Koyukuk still further
increasing the value of Seattle’s tre
mendous trade brought from the
Far North by the steamships Victor
ia and Umatilla during the Bering
Sea season of navigation just clos
ing says last Sunday’s Seattle Times.
This announcement yesterday caus
ed mining men and shipping men to
reassert that Alaska’s rich rays are
not ended and that Seattle still Is
‘The Gold Port.”
And to these valuable shipments
of the yellow metal in gold bars,
gold dust and nuggets must be added
large consignments of furs, tin ore,
and antimony brought by the vessels
from Nome and St. 'Michael.
Completing tneir last voyages to
the Far North, the Victoria and Uma
tilla reached Seattle recently, bring
ing gold bullion, furs and ores and
a total of 660 passengers.
Six voyages from Seattle to Ber
ng Sea have been made by each of
the vessels and Seattle shipping men
yesterday estimated that ‘ Uhe gold
bullion shipped from the Far North
would lie *1600,000 to the voyage,
although mdre than a million'Worth

! and St. Michael early in the sunftner.
The Umatflta Capt. J. %. Ctftitill,
bailed frbm Seattle On Her first Voy
age for the year to Nome and St.
Michael June 1st, 'and the steKmer
Victoria, Capt. !fdhn O^Brien, began
her first voyage of the year to Ber
ing Sea on June 2.
An interesting feature of the Par
North season of navigation Just end
ed is the fact that both liners as
a result of heavy weather in Bering
Sea, sailed from 'Nonie the latest in
the history of service to the port by
big passenger carriers steaming thru
a field of slush ice which during the
gale was piled ten feet high on the
beach.
The Umatilla is to be operated on
the Seattle-San Francisco route as a
freight and passenger carrier in con
nection with the steamship Queen
of the Pacific Steamship Company.
Intensely Cold Inside
The morning’s report from the in
terior gives the temperature at Sal
£ha at 52 degrees below zero a drop
of 6 degrees since yesterday morn
ing. At Fairbanks also the temperat
ure took a drop of 8 degrees the
thermometer registering 45 below at
that place. Donnelly’s shows 3 de
grees colder than Fairbanks.

First Team Wins
The bastketball contest between
the Moose first and second teams in
Moose Hall last night resulted in a
victory for the first team by a score
of 38 to 13.
Many a failure is that way because
he followed the advice of men who
succeeded.
Mighty few people take care of
themselves until they discover there
