Roanoke Arrives With Heavy Gold Cargo at Port
The N A T and T steamer Roanoke docked last night with about 18 passengers and an estimated three million dollars in gold in 28 boxes. Purser Newcombs reports 2.5 million in his charge and Dawson banks send 1.4 million on board. Wealthy passengers and boxes of gold, some weighing 150 pounds, are described along with a cautious view from Dawson and Cape Nome reports. One death occurred two days out, and a North West Mounted Police sergeant notes possible overspeculation in Cape Nome with a warning to travelers. The ship’s passenger list includes Capt J C Barr and hundreds of named travelers.
