LETTER FROM ROGERS. Writes to His Family and the Syndicate Here. Previous Advices Verified Relative to the Hazardous Trip of the Mare Island—Hemmed in by the Ice, and a Narrow Escape from Destruction—Stranded on the Bar Five Miles Off Shore—Awakened by the Scraping and Knocking of Something Against the Boat—Ice all Around the Vessel, and Extending to Sea Several Miles—Miraculous Escape from the Ice—Will Strike Out Over the Ice and Snow With Dogs and Sleds—Bound to Find Gold in Paying Quantities—Counsells His Family and Friends to Have No Fear for His Safety. The following letters from Chas. S. Rogers, written from St. Michaels to his family and the local syndicate backing him, have been received. They confirm the advices already printed by us relative to the outcome of the Mare Island expedition. The letters will be perused with interest by our readers who are anxious to hear from the local gold-hunter in the north, and to get his own version of the hardships that have beset the expedition: ST. MICHAELS, ALASKA, Oct. 4, '97 My Dear Wife, Mother and Father:—You will doubtless learn from the press dispatches that ice on the Yukon has played smash with the boats on the lower Yukon; and our boat, the Mare Island, was hemmed in by the ice and had a narrow escape from destruction. On Thursday, Sept. 30, we, in company with two other steamers, that were only four or five miles from us, were stranded at the mouth of the Yukon, and were waiting for high tide to come and let us get over the bar. On that date we had been stranded several days. There was no ice around on Thursday, but we then learned that ice was forming on shore. We were on the bar about five miles at sea. On Friday morning I was awakened at 5 a.m. by the scraping and knocking of something against our boat, and found on getting up that we were frozen in, ice all around us and it was piling up in huge piles all around us, and it extended out to sea beyond us for several miles. The temperature was about 18 deg. to 20 deg. above zero and it seemed a wonder to me that ice would form so quickly, and in such immense quantities in so short a time. However, we worked very hard all day cutting ice northerly the tides are low here, the winds driving water out of Behring sea; southerly winds raise the tides, bringing water into Behring sea from the Pacific. On Wednesday, the 29th of September, the weather became colder, but not very cold, only 20 degrees or so above zero, and Wednesday evening we learned that ice was forming along shore and found small particles of ice in the water around us. Thursday morning, the 30th, we found ourselves frozen in, solid ice all around our boat and extending out to sea several miles beyond us. We then seemed to be in a perilous situation and could only guess at the outcome. We all thought that the boat and all property on it would be destroyed, and some had fears of loss of life, though at no time did I apprehend any personal danger. I believed that we could all get ashore on the ice. However, the tides cracked the ice and opened it up in places and we set to work with a will, chopped away the ice from around the boat, even though we had little hopes of accomplishing anything, as our boat was hard ground. Fortunately, we were at 9 p.m. of the 30th favored with a high tide, which opened up channels in the ice, and broke it up considerably, pilling it in huge masses here and there around our boat, and then as the tide rose still higher, it carried the ice in towards shore and hopelessly shutting in the other boats, but leaving us afloat and able to put to sea. Only a miracle saved our paddle wheels from destruction. Had one of the ice piles floated against us it would have broken our wheels and probably wrecked the boat completely. I think the Merwin and Alice will be broken to pieces, and if so their passengers will be in a bad fix as they will lose their provisions. We are all very thankful that we are safely out of the ice. Our boat, the Mare Island, steamed north to a small cove near the north end of St. Michaels Island, where she is now lying protected from a strong wind and heavy sea which is now on, and has been blowing and running since we got out of the ice. I walked to St. Michaels with Olaf, a distance of twelve miles, over one of the worst trails I ever saw, in order to get letters off to you and my folks at home. Of the passengers on the “Mare” I think fully two-thirds will turn back and go to their homes in the States, but our party is here to stay until we get gold, or at least have thoroughly tried to get it. It is adverse circumstances like the ones that we are meeting that weed out the weak men and prove who are the strong ones. We propose now to go into temporary camp at St. Michaels as soon as the boat gets here. Then prepare for an overland trip. We will go up the coast 50 or 60 miles to an Indian village called Unalaklik, and from there use sleds and dogs in making a portage of about 125 miles northwest to another Indian village, Nulato on the Yukon river. Hleinigkeiten. —The GAZETTE has passed into twenty-eighth year of its publication. —That’s a good joke on two of the City Fathers—letting their city tax go delinquent! —Painter Nemetz has decorated windows of Dominick Lieb’s bier hall with a neat sign. —Herman Dickel has received a particularly fine line of imported cheeses. —Attention is directed to the advertisement of C.S. Sheffield offering a acres of land at Miraflores and for acres in town at a bargain. —Julius Schneider is fumigating on the Thorpe place in West Anaheim. He informs us the fumigating season has been a good long one, and will probably continue a month yet. —A representative of the orange buying firm of Allen Bros. of Los Angeles was in town on Tuesday, looking for fancy oranges for Christmas trade. It is said he is desirous of purchasing the crop of one of the best orchards hereabouts. Oranges are ripening usually early this season. —Adolph Schneider has been running the power-house alone for some days past, and the effectiveness of the lights seem to be no wise dimmer thereby. Schneider informs us he has been alone at the works often before and since the change the lights seem to go on as if nothing had happened. —The average daily harvest of beets at Chino the past week has been 70 tons, and up to last week 37,000 tons of beets from the ranch had been harvested. All the beets at Chino are being ploughed out and siloed. The percentage ages are low, the average being 1 sugar and 79 purity. Beet shipments will probably be resumed on Monday from this point. —The district convention of the Women’s Missionary society will meet at the Presbyterian church Wednesday, Nov. 10th, beginning at 10 a.m. and closing at 4 p.m. Mrs. Pierson of New York, secretary of the woman’s board of home missions, will be present, also Mrs. Walker of Riverside and Mrs. Minor of Los Angeles. All are invited to attend. —a marriage license was issued from the County Clerk’s office in Los Angeles on Saturday to Ben Hiss of Los Alamitos, and Miss Bee R. McNerney of Los Angeles. The last time we saw Ben he had a merry twinkle in his eye, as if something was about to happen, and he seemed to be younger and better looking than ever. Congratulations, Ben and may the future have much On that date we had been strained several days. There was no ice around on Thursday, but we then learned that ice was forming on shore. We were on the bar about five miles at sea. On Friday morning I was awakened at 5 a.m. by the scraping and knocking of something against our boat, and found on getting up that we were frozen in, ice all around us and it was piling up in huge piles all around us, and it extended out to sea beyond us for several miles. The temperature was about 18 deg. to 20 deg. above zero and it seemed a wonder to me that ice would form so quickly, and in such immense quantities in so short a time. However, we worked very hard all day cutting ice from around our boat and fate was good to us, for the night tide separated the ice, opening a channel around us. The ice floated toward shore; just passed us and left us free, and we at once put out to sea. But the other boats, the Merwin and the Alice, were close to shore, only half a mile or a mile, and the ice that went in shore from us, penned them in hopelessly, and I think they are doomed to destruction. Our boat ran up to the north end of St. Michaels Island, and ran into a cover for shelter from the storm, and at this date she is still there, as a heavy north wind and sea has been blowing and running for several days and is still on. I walked across the island, twelve miles, to-day over one of the roughest trails I ever struck. Our boat will come to St. Michaels as soon as the weather permits, probably within two or three days. The cargo will then be discharged, the passengers will disembark and probably two thirds or more of them will return home to the States. The men of nerve will not give up. "Everlastingly sticking to it brings success." Our party of four will go into temporary camp here, and will then arrange to go north along the coast 50 or 60 miles to Unalaklik, an Indian village, and from there we will go overland by dogs and sleds 120 or 130 miles to Nulato, an Indian village on the Yukon near the mouth of Kuyukuk river. We will then prospect all winter on the streams in that vicinity that are tributary to the Yukon, and if we don't strike good diggings, we will continue up the Yukon on the first boats that go up in the early summer. I am heartily glad that I am not on the Klondike now. Miners are leaving there now as fast as they can to escape starvation. There are no provisions at Dawson, and the stragglers that are arriving there via the Dyea and Skagway routes have no provisions to speak of, having found it too difficult to transport them, expecting also to be able to buy stores at Dawson. The suffering among the gold seekers there will in my opinion be terrible and will cause many deaths. So while our expedition is in hard luck, I am very, very glad that I came this way. Olaf and I will keep on and are bound to find gold in paying quantities, as I truly believe the Yukon and its tributaries have still fabulous mines that await discovery. Our party, Winningstad, Cabel, Tyson and myself, are the strongest and pluckiest of all on our expedition and we are not a bit discouraged. We will surmount all difficulties and in the end "get there." I walked over to-day solely to get a letter off to you, to allay any apprehension you may have for our safety, as I learned that reports of disaster to our boat had been sent out to the press and will probably be published about the time that this reaches you. I will write a longer letter in a few days. I must hurry this off, as a boat is expected to leave here at any hour. I must try to get one off to Herman or one of the other boys by the same boat. Of the passengers on the "Mare" I think fully two-thirds will turn back and go to their homes in the States, but our party is here to stay until we get gold, or at least have thoroughly tried to get it. It is adverse circumstances like the ones that we are meeting that weed out the weak men and prove who are the strong ones. We propose now to go into temporary camp at St. Michaels as soon as the boat gets here. Then prepare for an overland trip. We will go up the coast 50 or 60 miles to an Indian village called Unalakilik, and from there use sleds and dogs in making a portage of about 125 miles northwest to another Indian village, Nulato, on the Yukon river. From Nulato we will slowly move up the river, prospecting some of the creeks and rivers tributary to the Yukon, and we have hopes of striking paying claims before we get to British territory. We are satisfied that there are many rich deposits of gold along the Yukon that are awaiting discovery. Every indication points that way. The situation at Dawson must be very bad. There are no provisions there; both stores are closed, being entirely out of grub, and straggling bands of miners have come down the river to escape starvation, and they tell us that a few gold seekers are getting into Dawson via the Dyea route, but that most of them had abandoned their provisions and gone on light, expecting to be able to get a supply at Dawson. I believe there will be great suffering there, and finally a fight for food, that will be something awful. I am feeling fine, never felt better in my life; am getting fat, for me, and feel that we will win. You must have no fears for my safety. I will be all right all the time, and if fortune smiles on me, will come back to you with what I came after. I will right again soon. CHAS. ROGERS NEW SCHOOL BUILDINGS. Substantial Structures to House the District's Constantly Increasing School Population. The work on the addition to the central school building and the addition to the school building at West Anaheim, was completed on Saturday, and the new buildings will be ready for acceptance by the School Trustees today. The addition to the central school is 72x84 feet, two stories high, and contains four class rooms, the structure being of similar size and architecture to the old school building. The two are joined by a twenty-foot annex, running to the height of the building. In the annex are two spacious platform stairs of easy ascent, affording the children ample means of going to or coming from their class rooms in the upper story. Through the center of the building, or perhaps we should say through the two combined buildings, runs a spacious hallway, from north to south, from which doors lead off to the classrooms on either side. The building has been speedily constructed, and the work done in a thoroughly acceptable manner. Work on the building began Sept. 8, and the contract called for the structure to be completed in six weeks. Although the contractors, Messrs. Madsen & Reynard of Los Angeles, consumed some eight days over the stipulated time, an unavoidable delay of a week, while waiting for briek at the beginning of operations; a wait of three days for lumber, and waits for mill work during much of the time of construction. Of the passengers on the "Mare" I think fully two-thirds will turn back and go to their homes in the States, but our party is here to stay until we get gold, or at least have thoroughly tried to get it. It is adverse circumstances like the ones that we are meeting that weed out the weak men and prove who are the strong ones.

ROGERS Three hobos, perched upon a bench in Judge Landell's court yesterday, looked very much astonished when sentenced to thirty days employment upon the county rock pile at Santa Ana. They asked to have the sentence made lighter, and averred they were never in jail before. They had been carousing about town Tuesday evening under the influence of liquor, and made nuisances of themselves. Constable Bittner escorted them over the river later in the day. The second trial of Herbert Barlow, the individual charged with robbing H.K.Snow's residence in Tustin some months ago, has been in progress before Judge Ballard and a jury in the Superior Court at Santa Ana. Barlow was convicted at his first trial and was granted a new trial on technical grounds. The jury is composed of W.H.Bentley, E.D.Cooke, T.B.Goodnight, Chas.S.Holt.W.A.Insley.J.D.Price,C.C.EdingerChas.DuffordJohn BrushHarvey HawkinsJ.H.MoesserEd Smithwick.

I met her on my arrival here to-day and had a very pleasant talk with her and her husband, Eli Gage. They leave for Chicago in a few days. It did me good to see one of my kinsmen in this far-off country. I am very sorry I did not have you send some letters to me at St. Michaels. I wish you would now write to me here, and there is a possibility that I may get the mail you send, and if so it would do me lots of good. I am looking extremely tough, wearing Indian "mucklucks" (moccasin boots), greasy clothes, etc.; whisky galore; but I am getting fat and feel fine. Now remember that you must at no time have any fears for my safety. I will write you again very soon. Worlds of love to you all. I think of you continually and pray for your good health and happiness. Ever your loving husband and son, CHARLES S. ROGERS. ST. MICHAELS, ALASKA, Oct. 4, '97. My Dear Max and Company:—I must hastily drop a line to you to head off any alarm that adverse press reports may give you. You will learn from the papers that the Yukon expeditions that came via St. Michaels are in a bad way, and that's no lie, either; but I want to assure you that our party of four is all right, and we are going to rush ahead. I can only briefly write the time because a steamer is expected to leave at any hour, carrying news to the press, and I want my letters to go by the same boat. I will write more later, before leaving St. Michaels. Our boat stranded on the bar at the mouth of the Yukon; did not go to pieces, but rested easily on the sands about six miles off shore. Two other boats, the Merwin and the Alice also grounded, but both of them were close to shore, not over a mile from it. We waited several days for high tides and change of wind. When the wind is The building has been speedily constructed, and the work done in a thoroughly acceptable manner. Work on the building began Sept. 8, and the contract called for the structure to be completed in six weeks. Although the contractors, Messrs. Madden & Reynard of Los Angeles, consumed some eight days over the stipulated time, an unavoidable delay of a week, while waiting for brick at the beginning of operations; a wait of three days for lumber, and waits for mill work during much of the time of construction, go far toward explaining why more time than the six weeks allowed by the contract were required to finish the job. Few if any of our residents conversant with building thought that the work could be done inside of six weeks, and many opined it would require ten weeks to complete the building. That the contractors rushed the building through to completion in such a short period of time, is all the more flattering to them when the substantial character of the structure is taken into consideration. Fifteen mechanics, including carpenters, bricklayers and plasterers, were employed on the job. All were expert workmen, and from the time of the beginning of the work to the end, there was not a moment to lose. Probably never before in the history of the county has such a handsome and substantial structure been completed in such a short time. What is true of the central building may also be applied to the addition to the West Anaheim school. The size of this addition is 30x36 feet, and the work has been thoroughly performed. Both buildings will probably be accepted by the School Trustees to-day, and school will open in the new rooms on Monday next. Wanted. Seven shares water stock. Private money to loan; storeroom for rent for 100 tons of hay. Address Box 595, Santa Ana. RECORD OF THE TEMPERATURE. Maximum. Minimum. Average.

Miss Darby will be transferred to West Anaheim, the crowded condition of the schools there requiring another teacher. Scholars who have been attending the school at the Opera-house will attend at the central school building, where the addition to the school building will be ready for occupancy on Monday. Miss Rector will have charge of the class. Although the transfer of Miss Darby to West Anaheim will result in crowding the primary class at the central school, the difficulty will be obviated for the present, so Principal Little informs us, by "doubling up" the primary classes—one half attending school in the morning and the other half in the afternoon. A man in town on Tuesday morning, who walked over from Placentia, where his father-in-law, S. H. Jones, is camping, requested the assistance of the officers in the search for his wife, whom he has not seen in a month. The family were traveling to Callifornia from Texas, and at some point in Arizona, where the son-in-law (whose name was not given the officers) had been at work (he having preceded the others), a miner who was coming west volunteered to join the party and travel on with them. The young husband was left behind and the others, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Jones, their daughter and her two children and their new-made acquaintance, continued on their journey to the coast. At Redlands on Oct. 4th they started hitherward, the old folks and one of the children driving on ahead in one wagon, and the young wife and her other child and the miner in the other. That was the last seen of the woman. Their daughter failing to arrive on time, the old folks the next day set out to return to Redlands in search of her and her child, fearing that some accident had befallen them. They were nowhere to be seen. After waiting some days for her return and becoming alarmed as to her whereabouts, the husband was communicated with, and he repaired to Santa Ana, where he located his father-in-law in camp in Placentia. He joined them immediately, and has continued his search for his wife, until his money is gone, and on Tuesday, being without funds, he started to walk to Santa Ana to continue the search. He fears his wife has fallen under the influence of her companion, but judging from his state- Hleinigkeiten. GAZETTE has passed into the eighth year of its publication.

Fogs have prevailed mornings of late, seldom hanging on...however, but for a short time after sunup. On Tuesday morning the rule was varied by the sun rising clear and a heavy fog rolling in an hour afterward, only to remain for an hour or so. The fog seems to lift hereabout, but it settles and remains for the greater part of the forenoon in the upper valley. The Chino beet raisers complain of excessive dampness on this account. A contract has been signed between the Alamitos sugar factory and the E. H. Dyer company of Cleveland, Ohio, for the immediate enlargement of their factory from its present capacity to 1000 tons per day. The registered capacity of the factory the present season was 350 tons daily, although these figures were exceeded at times by upwards of 75 tons daily. The actual capacity was about 425 tons, so that the enlargement will more than double the capacity. Work on the enlargement will begin immediately.
