RUSH CONTINUES.

EVERY. LINER CROWDED. PRINCE RUPERT CITY GOES EN MASSE. "TIMES" ADVISES CAUTION. By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright. (Rec. July 1, 10.30 p.m.) London, July 1. "The Timos's" Toronto correspondent reports that it is difficult yet to obtain accurate information regarding the gold finds at Stewart, British Columbia. The glowing reports from tho field should be received with caution.

Every Alaskan liner is crowded with passengers, and it is estimated that fifteen thousand persons went to B.itter Creek in June.

Tho excitement resembles that which occurred when Klondyke was discovered. On hearing of the discovery, at Stewart, half the population left Princo Rupert and travelled to Stewart.

They suffered great hardships, and experienced much difficulty owing to inadequate food and shelter on the route.. LOCAL MAN'S VIEWS. ENTIRE'COUNTRY ALREADY STAKED. St. John's, June 30. Mr. William Pigot, president of the Stewart Land Company, declares that the new gold find near Stewart, British is an excellent strike, but that it is a mistake to call it a ledge of free-milling gold.

Other-reports show that the entire country had been staked out before the majority of the prospectors arrived.
