BETTER ROUTE 10 THE GOLD FIELDS Good Prospects in the Cook Inlet Country. SCENES AT ———— SKAGUAY Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. SKAGUAY, Alaska, September 8, 1897. The day after the close of my last letter to The Siar we lett Dyea and proceeded via the Muir glacier and Killisnoo to Sitka, where we arrived on the third day. The Muir glacier is in about the si me latitude as Dyea and Skaguay, and is, without dou the most wonderful sight in America visited by tourists. Viewed from the steam- er, it is a solid wall of ice, mere than 300 feet high and a mile ad a quarter long, moving forward into the bay at the rate of about sixty feet a day and discharging from its face huge icebergs, which float off into the bay. At Killisnoo there is a small Indian vil- lage and a large fish oil factory. Here fish of ail sorts, herring, cod, salmon, halibut a dozen others, are gathered in by the ton, the oil extracted and shipped to the States as pure cod liver oil, ard the refuse seid for tertilizer at $40 a ton. The man- agers of the factory were complaining of the lack of sufficient number of laborers to properly run the factory, and of the impos- sibility of getting enough fish, on account of the general exodus of the Killisnoo In- dians to Dyea and Skaguay, where they earn as much in a few weeks as they would earn in a year at home. The fish canneries all over southeastern Alaska, which, next to the gold workings, constitute the larg- est, most important and most remunerative industry in Alaska, are having the same experience. The Pyramid Harbor cannery at Chilcat, one of the largest in Alaska, has been particularly unfortunate, for the Klon- dike craze has caused a wholesale deser- tion of its employes just in the midst of the season when the run of fish was great- er than it had been for many years. A New Way to the Klondike. At Sitka we found considerable excite- ment caused by tke reported discovery of a new route to the Klondike, said to be easier, shorter and more practicable than any now followed. Readers of The Star have doubtless heard of the successful ascent of Mt. St. Elias by Prince Luigi of italy and his party of Alpine climbers. There have been many at- tempts to climb this mountain, but no one bas succeeded except the prince, who was also the cause of what is considered in Alaska a much more important discovery, namely, a new route to the Klondike. Prince Luigi chartered at Seattle the cht Aggie, commanded by Captain Green- leaf and mauned by American sailors. He sailed to Yakutat, and thence into Disen- chartment bay, where ke landed and be- gan to work toward the mountain. After Saining an elevation of 7,000 feet he would, not permit the Americans to accompany him further, but went to the top with his Italian party. With aneroid barometers he ied the triangular measurement of 18,100. feet. In the meantime the Americans were not idle. On landing in Disenchantment bay ‘aptain Greenleaf had met several Indians { returned from the Yukon country, who told him that they had made a quick and ezsy trip overland. Returning to the bay, he secured two Indians as guides and set out on an exploring expedition. He started at sunrise, and after an easy climb reached the summit of a low pass about noon. From this summit he saw stretching to the perth and east a vast rolling grass land with no great hills. The Indians told him that after a short trip across this prairie land he would reach a stream, on which he could float his goods all the way to the Yukon. without being impeded by any falls or rapids. From his enormous elevation at St. Elias the prince ex- through his telescopes, the whole + and confirmed the Indians’ de. ns. One of the Indiars, in speak- i.g of the Klondike, whence he had re- turned, called it ‘Too Much Gold.” but speaking of the country through which he had passed said that ten days from Disen- ckantment bay was a stream which the Indians called “Much Too Big Too Much old. The party returned to Sitka about the 20th of August, and, calling into requisi- tion all the maps to be had and ail the traders who had traveled in that section, it was discovered that this route would be via the White and Stewart rivers and would be only 425 miles from Sitka to the Klondike. The sail from Sitka to the land- ing in Disenchantment bay is 240 miles, leaving only 185 miles of overland travel, which Is divided up as follows: Overland vel from Disenchantment bay to the White river, over an easy pass and level ccuntry, miles; sail on White river to Stewart river, 40 miles; on Stewart river to the Klondike, 70 miles. Captain Greenleaf was so much impress- ed with the feasibility of this route that he returned immediately to Seattle to or- senize a company to go through. The Report Confirmed. The Alaska Commercial Company's ‘teamer Dora, plying between Sitka and western Alaskan ports, came in on Au- gust 29 and brought news confirmatory of Captain Greenleaf’s discovery. Several parties were immediately made up, and when the Dora sailed for Yakutat several days later, she took eighty prospectors to the westward. Most of those who are go- ing via Disenchantment bay hope to make rich finds along the White river, and if the accounts of the Indians are to be beileved there is reason for these hopes. Steamers of all sizes can navigate Disenchantment tay, which is only one day’s sail from Sit- ka.’ Many old prospectors say that all the country on the eastern slope of Mount St. Elias contains rich quartz, but has not beretofore been largely prospected because no one going there has had enough money to go into quartz mining. I have gone fully into this matter because it appears to me to be of much importance, and my infor- mation has been reliable. In the Cook Inlet Country. There was additional excitement at Sitka when the Dora came in, caused by the re- turn of several old prospectors from the westward, who brought stories of rich finds in the Cook Inlet country. Among these prospectors was an oid Sitkan called “Mike the Big Swede. He brought a pocketful of nuggets, ranging in value from $2 to $0, which he said he had panned out in a few days on a small stream near Cook inlet. It has been known for years that there was goid in this region, and that one could go nearly anywhere there and pan out $ a day; but this is the first find of anything big. Mike said that he had come back only to outfit, as he was not prepared to spent the winter there; but would return as soon 2s possible. The whole Cook Inlet country has been carefully prospected, and many- valuable quartz mines located, awaiting only the necessary capital to be. worked. Ex-Marshal Louis L. Williams has located some valuable mines on Cook Inlet, as well as a very rich copper mine in Prince Wil- liam sound. shred In fact, the whole of southeastern Alas- ka ts full of gold, and there are at least} twenty mines containing very rich -ore the summit of Mt. amined, within a radius of ten miles of Sitka. Want of necessary capital is all that is keeping them from being developed. It is very likely that the find of “Mike the Big Swede” will lead to further discoveries and to a great rush to that region. Within three days after the arrival of the Dora several parties had been formed who sailed on her for Cook Inlet. They were in all respects better equipped than any parties I saw going to the Klondike. @hey wil lwinter at Sunrise City,on or near he Sooshitnee river. There are many hings which make prospecting in the Cook inlet country easier and better than in the Yukon country, principal among which are its easy accessibility and the comparative mildness of the winters. Should I fall a victim to the gold fever, which has not yet happened, I am quite sure that I would go to Cook Inlet and not to the Klondike, or anywhere in the Yukon country. At Sitka they look for a great rush to the west- ward in the spring, and the merchants are already making preparations to meet the expected demand for supplies. Something About Sitka. The normal population of Sitka consists of about 500 whites and 1,100 Thlingit In- dians; but at this time many of the whites are away, either prospecting, trading or packing at the passes, and the majority of the Indians are awa: ome fishing, but the greater number packing at Dyea and Ska- guay. And when an Indian goes off in his canoe he takes his whole family—squaw, pappooses, dogs and all, so Indian Town at Sitka presents dn almost deserted appear- ance. Sitka is alm st entirely neglected by tourists, very much to their loss, for not only is it a quaint, curious old place, but its surrounding scenery is most beautiful. The excursion steamer stays at Sitka never longer than six hours, and the mail steam- er eighteen; and if the tourist has a chance to take a walk to Indian river and make a hurried visit to the museum and the Graeco-Russian Cathedral Church he 1s satisfied. But Sitka is deserving of at least a week's stay. It is built at the foot of a Tange of beautiful, snow-capped hil!s, of which Mt. Vershovia, 3,500 feet high, is the tallest. From the foot of the Village stretches away a most beautiful harbor, dotted with hundreds of rocky, green-cov- ered islands, on one of which, about twelve miles to the north and west, looms up Mt. Edgecomb, an extinct volcano. About three-quarters of a mile from Sitka, to the south, and reached by a most beautiful fir- embowered and turf-bordered road, is In- dian river, banks clad in vegetation almost tropical in its luxuriance. In all directions there are trips, the principal ones being to the Hot Springs, Silver bay and Edgezorb, which are replete with the most glorious scene: The Greek Church, maintained by the Czar of the Russias, is well worth half a day’s visit. It is literally filled with hand- some and valuable paintings by French, Italian and Russian artists, and rare gold and silver works of art.all presented by the Russian government, royal family and no- bility, when the church was erected. There is a most exquisite Madonna and child by a Russian artist, for which one of the Van- derbilts offered the church $20,000. It was our good fortune to be shown through the church by Mr. George Kostrometinoff, a member of the church, the official interpre. ter and a most courteous gentleman. He is, by the way, a son of one of the early Russian subgovernors. Most of the houses in Sitka are of logs, weather-hoarded, and many are handsome, roomy and ali com- fortable. Indian Town. is off to itself, and consists of a long row of well-built log and frame houses,. strung along the water's edge. The Thlingit Indians ire peacesul, industrious, frugal and fairly well civilized Game Abundant. Game of all sorts is exceedingly abund- ant, and the Indians frequently bring in from a dozen to twenty deer, and long strings of geese, ducks, grouse and ptar- migan in a day. The summers are very de- lightful. About half the days are rainy but not the sort of rain that wets cne—and the sunshiny days are gloriously perfect. Magnificent vegetables are raised here, but no grain. The winters are not more scvere than in Washington. Last winter the low est range of the thermometer was 11 de- grees above zero. There were two cold spells, one in November, one in March, and the remainder of the winter was balmy. All of this is so surprising to me, and so dif- ferent from my former ideas that I have thought it would interest readers of The Star. These conditions are due to the Japan current, and of course do not prevail inland. ‘Taken all in all Sitka is far from being a disagreeable place to live; and {s an ideal summer resort, especially for sportsmen— both of gun and rod. Changed Conditions at Skaguay. Reluctantly bidding farewell to Sitka we are back here at Skaguay amid far differ- ent scenes. Skaguay is very different from what it was when I closed my last letter. The saw mill, of which I spoke as being in Process of erection, has been running full blast, and as timber is plentiful and near at hand much lumber has been turned out, and frame buildings have taken the Place of nany of the tents. Besides this several American and English ships have been here and have brought several thousand addi- tional Klondike more than a thousand horses and many hundreds of tons of pro- visions. The Willamette alone brought up, on her last trip from Seattle, 900. men and 600 horses. b: After landing here the first thing to at- tract our attention was the total inade- quacy of the force at the command of the collector of customs to cope with the smug- glers, or even to properly inspect one-half the goods coming in from foreign ports. Of course the introduction of whisky is the principal object of the smugglers’ art. Liquors may not be introduced at all into Alaska without a special permit from the collector of customs, and may not be sold to Indians, nor to any one else except tor medical and scientific purposes and by li- cense of the governor. But for all that, whisky is so plentiful in Dyea and Skaguay that all of the score or more saloons are well supplied, and it is a ‘drug on the mar- ket. The collector has seized a large amount, but more has gone through, in sugar barrels, flour barrels, nail kegs, as hardware and even as dry goods. In addition to this a vast deal of provi- sions from Victoria and other foreign ports has gone in without paying duty. The usual method followed in getting through foreign goods is to pretend that they are meent to go through into Canadian terri- tory, and on this pretense they are sealed and permitted to be landed. Once on land and a mile from the water these goods are safely beyond the reach of Uncle Sam's limited force, and are opened and disposed of right in Dyea and Skaguay. A number of horses from Victoria, now being used on the trails, were smuggled in in this manner, the pretense being that they were for the Canadian mounted police and for use in Canadian territory. Dyen as a Subport of Entry. It is believed here that the Washington goverrment has made a great mistake in establishing a subport of entry at Dyea. In the first place the force and the facil- ities here are entirely inadequate tor the proper inspection of goods and imposition of duties. Prior to the establishment of this port at Dyea foreign vessels could not land there, the nearest port of entry being Juneau. English and Canadian vessels are now sailing direct from Victoria and other Canadian ports to Dyea, and as their car- goes, destined for British territory, can go through in bond, they escape the duties levied by the United States, and aiso the duties, levied at the Canadian boundary, on goods from the United States. As a re- sult of this situation almost the entire trade of supplying outfits and provisions to -mainers going to the Yukon country by way: of the White and Chilkoot Giverted from Juneau and other Alaskan and American Re tied Medi een foria’ and other )foreign ports. over are com- plaints, and.the Juneau chamber. ef-com- |. full of falls and rapids, its | Passes has been}. - EDUCATIONAL.
