Susquehanna County – Alaskan Gold: The exodus from Seattle to the Klondike gold fields began Sunday, stimulated by the piles of gold dust that came down on the steamer Portland and by the wonderful stones of the richness of Ac mines told by the fortunate miners. Early in the morning crowds began gathering at the ocean dock from which the regular steamers sail every five days to witness the departure of the steamer Aiki. There were men, women, children, horses cattle, sheep and hogs, all bound for the wonderful gold regions going overland by way of Juneau. The deck of the ship was being converted into stock pens, and scores of carpenters were engaged in the construction of stalls. The horses are to be used as pack animals and the cattle and sheep will be converted into dollar steaks for the hungry Klondikers. Hundreds that anticipated taking the first ship were turned away disappointed. However, 200 were sandwiched in the cabin and steerage, with the cattle on deck and the horses and sheep in the hold. These gold seekers are permitted by the steamship companies to carry the usual amount of baggage besides provisions enough to last a year. AND In Susquehanna County, several of our young men are talking of starting soon for the gold fields.
