Late advices from Alaska state nothing in fche history of Western boom towns will compare with the mushroom growth of the Gity of Ben Moore the man who located the town site left for the Sound on Aug 10 last at which date there was his own log cabin the store and the of the Alaska and Northwest Trading Company and a number of tents When he returned there were whole streets of wooden dwellings owners them selves located and bud paid a registry fee to United States Commissioner Smith of dollars Not only were these new comers permitted to locate on Captain Moores land on payment of the fee but it is said that Mr Smith accepted the fee and gave a registration receipt to half a dozen different people for the same plot of land The newly appointed land com missioner and register Mr Dudley will therefore have some difficulty in unraveling the conflicting real estate ownership on the town Bite is on a tide flat with a tide running over feet and therefore has a stretch of half a mile below tidewater mark All passengers by- big steamers are taken off in row boats- with a pull of from one to two according to the state of the tide when they carried on backs of the boatmen to comparatively dry land It is amusing to hear the shrieks of the women when on the back of the boatman splashing through the water Only a month ago when the Willamette landed her couple of thousand of gold seekers all the freight and passengers luggage were landed in these small boats or small scows and dumped on the shore pell higgledypiggledy from each owner had to hurry to rescue his particular goods before the rapidly incoming tide ruined them or swept away Immense scows are now in use big enough to take whole of a ships cargo These when load- en float to shore on a high tide and each owner gets out his own goods as soon as ho can and woo to him whoso belongings chance to be neat the bottom of the huge pile GREAT AWAKENING The two long piers hotly com peting for the honor of being first completed and early next month both will bo in operation That of tho Wharf Company is already piled to its ocean end a length of over 1600 a curving lino from the northern to the southorn side of the bay thus blocking off all further com petition in this lino This will bo known commonly as the Juneau Pier The other pier will be known as the Seattle Dock it is largely by capital from that This from south of Broadway and runs straight to the completed under the cliff Both will have ware houses to goods will be taken direct from the ship and there await proper claimants These two great piers are impressive to the in coming stranger who knows that the town is only a month old but as to tho rest he can see but little from the docks Tenths dot the shore the whole of its width with hero and there a small wooden building The latter are rapidly taking the place of the canvas homes and stores for the reason that cold weather and heavy rains have set in and more especially very high winds Captain McKinney the chairman of the Vigilance com mittee estimates that there are now buildings of wood and that there would have been many more but for the scarcity of lumber There is a sawmill hard at work- now lum ber is coming in by every steamer and nearly every one having pur pose to Winter here is putting up a habitation of wood Many ate erect ing larger and more substantial build ings than their needs require as a speculation hoping to sell at a large profit when the rush is renewed next spring and when they once more pack up for the Klondyke Probably as many as of such substantial dwell ings are going up EXPECT TO SELL OUT A curious phase of the situation those who have decided to Winter here is that nearly every one of them believes he has just the natural gifts necessary to make a suc cessful merchant They are all put ting their great stakes into goods which they hope to turn into money again with a largo profit by the spring and then sell out an establish ed business when the weather permits them to leave for the gold fields Thus is the new city building up are saloons a majority of their proprietors having plans for I ting to the as soon as pos sible and there are between and merchants of whom the same thing may bo said Not only on Broadway but along the interesting streets and among the big timbers on each side of the trail are these mer chants tents and stores little and big and all sorts and conditions of men are interested in them from the spectacled store clerk hand ling the saw and the ax on his new building to the stolid backwoodsman to whom the making of change is a difficult mental operation One would think town would be over done with so many merchants and perhaps it will be soon when the steamers are fewer and passengers on them not enormous enough to be worth mentioning But there is a population of over still in and it is believed that there will be continual coming and going until beginning of December to be then re newed the month following The in fant city is well laid out and not only on Broadway but on most of the side streets on either side up to where the trail turns off to the left into the tim ber there are new stores and residen ces Among the timber there are many merchants in tents or rough shacks In the early history of the city thafc is three weeks shirts were publicly derided as were also shaven chins there are four barber shops and two or three signsreading Troy Laundry There is also a bath house in course of con struction and this is a luxury thafc tired men coming off fche trail will appreciate Lumber is still scarce rough lumber at per thousand feet at Seattle selling for about 25 here There is little doubt a hundred or more buildings will be erected during the days in Skaguiay There- is no shady side to life at everything goes on in broad daylight or candlelight After sup per every tent is lighted and the streets are crowded with muddy men in from the trail pack train is filled with people among whom I recognize several of my friends who are drawn hither like by tho spectacle The tent of this the big gest saloon in town is feet Entering through a single door in front on the right hand is a rough board bar ten or twelve feet long with some shelves against the rear wall on which are a few glasses and bottles The bartender who is evi dently new to the business apologizes for the whiskey which is very poor and twothirds water and sells for cent Cigars of a or five- cent sort that strain ones suction powers to the limit are sold for 50 to cents each They keep beer also on tap After the lecture we received on the steamer from the customs officer we are at a loss to understand how whiskey can be sold openly under the very of the officers But that is a story by myself Along each aide of the tent are threecard rouge and other layouts but not a faro layout in the place nor in the town The gamblers are doing big business A big strapping fellow in a yellow Mackinaw trying his luck at craps Is pointed out as having just come in over the trail from Klondike Whether he had any dusj with him I cannot learn but he is in fine health and spirits Every man whom I have yet seen from Klondike has had splen did complexion and seems strong and robust This fellow has a voice like a lions deep and resonant Surely Yukon cannot be so terrible if it does this to men or else its tale of death is that of the and sickly As they used to say of the Kanakas they were all strong and healthy because they were thrown into the water by their mothers almost the day they were born consequently none but strong survived Across the street tho sound of a piano and the moving figures of men and wornen through the windows re mind us there is a dance tonight as on every night This piano is the one and its arrival is said to have been an event The four wo men in the place are not even tho painted sort even paint might covered up some of the marks of dis sipation Clumsy boots beat time on a dirty floor but not with much en thusiasm The of a min ing town Such a thing as shame is not even thought of Harpers Week- AT WAITING FOR TRANSPORTATION Hundreds fortune hunters stalled
