How a Party Surmounted the Ob- stacles Between Juneau and Klondyke. Some of the difficulties and perils which must be met and overcome on the trip to Dawson from Juneau bv way of the *di- vide” were told yesterday by James Brownlie, who recently returned from He made the trip overland from and came out by way of the river fichaels, Said Mr. Brownlie: *It took us ninety- six days to make the trip from San Fran- | cisco to Sixty Mile, but twenty-six days of that time we were stuck in rhe ice on Takiu River, so that had it not been for that delay we should have made the jour- tie over two month<. Our party going in consisted of my brother, myself and a friend of ours. Everything went well with us after leaving Juneau, and we'soon reached Sheap Camp. There we found a party who had been at that place for neariy a monti waiting for a chance to get over the summit. Thereare no great difficulties to be encountered in going through Chilcoot Pass provided one makes the trip at the right season of the year. o late ‘of must ve seen =0 much in the papers of the terrible hardships which be endured in going through that pass that I am afraid I will not be believed by the pubiic when 1 say that to go over Chilcoot pass at the proper time is aitended by no more danger than a trip up Mount Tamalpais. It s true that in the winter time it is al- most impassable. No one ever attempts it then. Even the Indians refuse to try it and the only ones I ever heard of going through are the mail-carriers, and several years ago two of them were lost. They were probably overcome by the driving snow on the summit and frozen to death. No one ever heard of either of them after- ward; but in the springtime, after the winter storms have abated and the snow has ceased to fall and has become hard, atrip over the summit is nothing. By leaying Sheep Camp early in the morn- 1ng—5 or 6 oclock—with the weather in your favor, the summit ought to be reached by noon and :he head of Lake Lindeman by night. Itisbutasingleday’s journey, and not a particularly hard one at that. Many women and children have gone over that rcute and I never heard of an accident exceptthe one just mentioned. “The idea seems to be prevalent that you must build your boat as soon as you e et S-0 ttom Cr!i"j Mount \ \ \ 4 [ S \ i \ [ 0 2 IS% e Map of the Lower Klondy SCALE oF ! Ny, Copyrighted -All Rights Reseryed. ke, Showing the Extent of the Location of Claims on the Several Creeks and the Principal Discovery Claims. This map was made for THE CALL by a careful platting of data and sketches ob- tained from several parties lately returned from the Klondyke who own claims on the various creeks and are generally familiar with the whole region and specially in- formed by actual observation extending over some eight months as to the principal features of the streams on which their own clzims are located and those near to it. The general direction and larger bends of the several creeks are all that can be given on a map of this size until a survey of the whole region embracing the several creeks is made. This has not yet been done, and probably will not be done for some time to come, as the small force of Canadian officials on duty in ihat part of the Yu- kon country are fully employed in the work of registering and fixing the boundaries of mining claims in the flats along the streams, and have little time to devote to a general survey for the purpose of determining in exact detail the direction and nu- merous small windings of the various streams and their relation as to distance and direction to each other, with the positions and heights of ‘the hills and mountains, which cover the whole country, except the narrow strips of low ground which border the creeks. bv the Canadian Government during the Itis said, bowever, that an additional force of surveyors will be sent up present season, and a complete survey of the whole country drained by the Klondyke and Indiun rivers and their various branches, as far as may be practicable and necessary, will be made. The results of their work will doubtless be given to the public from time to time as it progresses, beginning next season, after they have had the time to make a fair start. The *“Di creeks, secutively from No. 1 up, above and below. 2MILES scovery Claim’’ is approximately marked on Bonanza, Bear and Hunker As a rule, the later claims located on thg main sireams are numbered con- The “Discovery” and taose on the branches are numbered from the mouth thereof up toward the head, as on Bonanza, where “Discovery Claim” lies between the mouth of Adam: and the mouth of El Do- rado Creek. The count is made from it down toward the mouth anc up toward the head, while on Adams, El Dorado and other branches the counting begins with No. 1, at the mouth, and runs up each individual stream in order. The map shows all the larger streams on which prospect and locations had been made up to the time the last steamer down the river left Dawson, and the extent of such locations. Later advices will but add new discoveries and larger areas of loca- tions. With the hundreds of men now arriving daily and the thousanas already on the way to the Klondyke, the whole country will soon be prospected and all the rich- est placers covered with claims, Bonanza Creek and most of its branches were early covered. As one new party after anotier came in locations extended rapidly and were soon nearly up to the head of the main creek, which is from thirty to thirty-five miieslong, as well asits branches. When this creek was filled up the prospectors crossed over the mountains to the south and struck gold on Dominion Creek, a branch of Indian River, and over the ridge to the north to Hunker Creek, a couple of hours’ journey, where rich finds were also made, the reporis of which soon filled Hunker and Gold Bottom creeks with claim locators. Lindeman or Lake Bennett. If I were going to make the trip Ishould do nothing of the kind. By leaving San Francisco in early February, not later than the middle of the month, you can in ail probibility eet over the ‘divide’ without troubie early in March. At thattime of the year the lakes and streams are nearly all frozen, and a person can get as far as the foot of Lake Lebarge b-fore theice begins to break up. 1tis much easier to travel over the ice than through the lakes in a boat, be- sides you can go much faster, for in many places vou can stick up a sail on your sled go skimming over the surface at a very rapid speed. i knew of one party which got as far as Fort Selkirk in that manner before the ice broke. At any rate I would go as far as I could in that way, and then I would build my boat. It does not require an expert boat-builder to do this, but it was about the hardest work I did on the whole trip, “You can’t scoop a canoe out of a big log as the Indians do, because a white man, without he has had years of experi- ence in that sort of tbing, would tip a canoe over the moment he got into it, and it be didn’t do. that he would fall out at the first rapids he struck. The only way ‘o do is to-go out on the baunk of the stream or lake and select a fir tree large enough to give lumber the desired size. You will-not get very far from the water, because the undergrowth is so thick in most places that a dog can’t get through. And I want to say right here that this talk about footing it all the way in is absurd. You must go in a boat or on the ice. The timber is so heavy and the un- dergrowth so rank that a man couldn’t walk from Lake Lindeman to Sixty Mile in a hundred years. Boat-building is a necessity. After you've cut down your tree, trimmed off the branches and sawed the trunk into the length you want your boards, thes you've got to build a sort of roll-way and get the tree up off the ground four or five feet, 30 as to be able 10 saw it. Then you have about a week’s hard labor whip-sawing the lumber our. There should be three men to do this—two on top of the log and one underneath. Of course the tiraber is green, and after every half-dozen pulls at the saw you've got to stup and drive a wedge to keep the saw from getting stuck. “The boat should be built as strong asit can be made, and the bottom should be extra thick. - If-it-is not, the first bowlder yvoustrike will in all probability knock a bole in it and dump you and your load into the river, from which you will be very lucky to escape with vour life. As has been said before, it is very foolish for a man to go there in search of work. He should be prepared either to buy a claim orto go out and locate one. As every- thing near Dawson has undoubtedly been located before now, the prospector must go up some of the numerous streams to find a new one. The heavy growth of timber and brush preciudes the possibility of him geing by land. He must go up along the creeks, and these are generally so shallow ana rapid that be must either pole or pull his boat every foot of the way. Where it is possible, one man will getout on the bank and pull the craft along by a rope, while the other keeps it Irom bumping against the banks. If this cannot be done, then both must get in and pole, which is very hard and hazardous work, Many provisions cannot be trans- ported in this way, and before vou have fairly got to work on your claim you are out of food. They say wages are $15 per day. When Ileft there were 150 men on Birch Creek willing to go to work for §2 50 per day, or any price they could get, and this was true all along the river. “I don’t see why wages should increase 8o much, as there weze then enough men in that part of Alaska to work all the diggings in the Klondyke district. Then, get over phe ‘divide,’ eitbor at Lake|too, supposing & man could get sieady work, which is out of the question, he wonid have to be made of cast iron to work very long at a time in such a place. They generally work a few dsysand then give somebody else a chance while they recup- erate. Once arrived at your destination there is no necessity of suffering severely irom the cold, though it is very cold in the winter. Timber is abundant, and with a thick log shack and plenty of firewood one can easily keep from freezing.” Mr. Brownlie yesterday received a letter from his brother at Dawson, who has been in the Yukon country for four years. He says he has .just refused $30,000 for his claim, and savs thaton the day he wrote be was baking bread. After properly kneading the dough he turned around to grease his bread pans, and when he again touched the dough it was frozen stiff, The picture of Chilcoot Pass which ape pears in this issue was taken at a point about four miles above Sheep Camp, in a little hollow on the mountainside, and shows Mr. Brownlie's party and a party which they met at Sheep Camp beginning the last ascent to the summit. “One would think,” said Mr. Brownlie, “‘mosquitoes would have a hard time in Alaska, but I never saw so many any- where in the world as there are there in the summer. New Jersey mosquitoes are pigmies as compared with the Yukon species, and they make life a burden. I think a great many peuple are making a mistake in their clothing outfit. One should take as little as possible, as he will need all his strength to carry the neces- sary provisions and himself over the ‘“divide.”” What he needs are skins ana furs, and they can generally be bought to much better advantage in Juneau than anywhere else. When you are out in the snow and ice woolens and blankets will do you little good. A man should live as much Iike the Indians as possible. The best protection against the cold is a bag made of skin, thoroughly oiled, large enough to hold a man. *“A man can get into such a bag and draw it tightly about his neck, having his head covered with furs, and he can pass a fairly comforiable night half buried 1n the snow. With all that is said against it 1 would much rather make the trip over the ‘divide’’ than the long, tedious one by way of 8t. Michaels. In my opinion there is only one really dangerous place in the whole trip and that is at White Horse rapids. That1s an extremely dan- gerous place, but 1 believe there is a trail around them now, so that this part of the journey can be made on foot: Of the other rapids Five Finger and Rink rapids are perhaps the most dangerous, but they are not bad. The Indians shoot them right along and think nothing of it. I may go back in the spring and witha party of congenial companions consider it atine trip. But this only applies to men who are well supplied with money. A poor man might as well commit suicide as og0.” Lot TREADWELLS GONE. The Two Sons of Millionaire John Treadwell Off for the Yukon. BERKELEY, Cav., July 25.—The Tread- well brothers, one a freshman and the other a sophomore at the State University, set sail to-day for the Alaskan cold fields, They will go.to the Klondyke by way of Juneau. They are members of the family who once owned the famous Treadwell mine, and have been taking courses in civil and mining engineering at the uni- versity, with the purpose in view of ulti- mately engaging in work at the Treadwell. They left well stocked with provisions and clothing, and, being strong and healthy, seem thoroughly fitted for the hardships. — News *‘Colors.” The first mail for the Yukon under the Government contract recenily made loft Juneau on the 13th inst., in charge of F.

The Alaska Mining Record asserts that there is plenty of lumber at Lake Ben- nett, and that the sawmill there has not been moved. A boy arrived at Juneau recently from Finland to join his father, having trav- eled all the way with a card tied to his coat telling who e was and where he was going. One Juneau outfitter has been selling a ton of bacon a day.

But from my observations up there 1 am convinced that the mountains over on the American side of the line are the real backbone and that all the creeks and tributaries of the Yukon River are full of gold.

Mr. Brackeit left to-day for New York City to mee’ friends who are interested in some lands up there. He believes there are valuable deposits of.ivory in Alaska.

PORTLAND, Or., July 25.—Charles Mc- Donell, employed in the First National Bank, has received an interesting letter from Percival Nash, who left here some weeks ago for the Yukon gold fields. The letter was written from Lake Linderman June 2, and was delayed in its delivery. “We have sold some of our goods on the road,” writes he, *“tobacco for $2 a pound and Piper Heidsieck for §2 50; cigars cost- ing $25 per thousand for $85. Ezgs sell here at $1 50 a dozen; beef, when you can get it, at 50 cents a pound. Yukon prices range here. “Murray Eads (formerly with Snell, Heitshu & Woodward) has got here at last. We have been hearing from him all along the trail. He has about four days’ more packing to do. Yesterday he nar- rowly escaped being killed. He fell down a steep hill with a 100-pound pack on his pack, striking on his head. He was knocked cold, and Eskridge found him lying on the trail, *We bired two dog teams about a month ago on shares and freighted our own stuff down from the summit, and my brother Des made quite a pile besides. The season has been so abnormally early that the trail over the little lakes this side of the summit has been on the verge of going for two weeks past. It is impassable for horses, and as there are only two dog teams working besides our own, we had almost a monopoly, freight charges being 4 cents a pound from the foot of the sum- mit on this side to the head of Linderman Canyon, two and a half miles from here. *Ia one trip with a sinvle dog-team Des made $63. All the work is done at night, as the snow gets so rotten and soft in the daytime that it is impossible to haul the loads even with dogs. “We may have some trouble with the British customs authorities, but feel pretty confident of getting by them. There have been rivers of contrabana whtisky smuggled in this year. It was mostly at Fort Simpson and was smug- gled past the American customs officers.

TRADE REVIVAL 1§ | SOUTHERN STATES Good Effects of the New Tariff Law Felt Already. Louisiana’s Sugar - Planters Rejoicing Over Their Prospects. Heavy-Orders Placed for Improved Machinery, Mules, Wagons and Plows. NEW ORLEANS, La, July 25.—The new tariff law is the most favorable to Louisiana of any ever adopted, and it is conceded that it will give a great impetus to all the chief industries of the State. On this point there is no difference of opinion. Even the most extreme iree- traders admit that the tariff bill will help Louisiana’s chief industries, particularly sugar, rice and lumber, however it may operate elsewhere. The passage of the bill will give a great impetus to agriculture and trade. Busi- ness has been unusunally dull in Louisiana throughout the summer, due to the high water and the uncertzinty about the tar- iff. Farmers held back spring orders un- til they felt sure there would be no over- flow, and consequently the summer trade of New Orleans has been very poor this year. In the last few weeks, however, there has been a marked improvement. Sugar planters, feeling sure” of the pas- sage of some bill that would increase the duty on sugar, began putting in orders for machinery and agricuitural imple- ments, and, as the sugar schedule encour- ages the production of high-grade sugar, they will use heavier, improved machin- ery. Orders placed with New Orleans foun- dries will aggrogate $3,000,000 to $5,000,000. There have also been heavy orders for mules, wagons and bplows, which have stimulated these several lines of business. Louisiana will raise 750,000,000 pounds of sugar this year; so the sugar section of i the tariff bill is worth $16,000,000 in in- | creased duty on sugar and molasses. A | large part of this goes not only to the | planters and raisers, but to railroads, foundries, machine men and coopers, and makes itself felt in many ways. The full benefit of the new law will not be feltuntil October, when tha sugar crop comes in. For the first time since early spring bank clearances show an improve- | ment over the correspoading period of | 1896. . i A movement is aioot to give a public non-partisan reception to Senator Me- Enerny on his return, as a tribute to his aid in legislation so favorable to Louis- | iana. 0 S SR NEW LIFE IN KENTUCKY. Wonderful Change (omes Over the Spirit of the Parmer. LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 25.—A won- derful change has come over the spirits of ! Kentucky farmers within the last three | months, A remarkable rise in the price | of leaf tobacco was the first significant | change in the long era of depression. | This began to develop in April and by the time the rise had culminated, about the | middle of June, prices had advanced on | every grade from 100 to 300 per cent. For | the past two years tobacco has sold below the cost of production and its debrecia- tion was mainly responsible for the silver sentiment here last fall. The wheat crop has been extraordi- narily larce and the finest quality ever known. The State Agricultural Com- | missioner estimates that the yield will be | double that of last year and the surplus three times as great. Potatoes are beirg sold at $1 80 a barrel, against 40 to 60 cents last year, and other garden staples are as high, wnile the crops uave been so large that the shipments from Louisyille are 75 per cent greater than last year. It is now the season for selling fat cattle, and as they bring high prices hard times are leaving Kentucky. Dealers in agri- cultural implements say their trade is opening magnificently. Mr. Lewis, head of one of the largest houses here, says he has sold five times as many wagons in the last six weeks as he did during the same period last year. Louisville 1s the chief center for jeans cloth manufacturing. At this time Jast year all the factories were clased. They are now all running, some on extra time, while prices have been advaucing. Lol mal GOUD 21IMES HAVE BEGUN. Cheerful Views of Prominent Publio Yen at Washington. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 25.—[n a tele- esram to the Press Compiroller of the Cuarrency Eccles says that private advices from bankers all over the country con- vince him tbat the tariff bill’s passage assures finance and trade of a firm basis for renewed activity, Signs of prosperity, he says, are already manifested every- where, the best evidences of improvement being 1n the South and West. A Waskington correspondent of the same paper quotes the Secretary of Agriculture a8 saying: “From the very home of Pop- ulism are coming the most sanguine re- ports. The Populist Senators wanted a bounty ‘on beet sugar for their constitu- encies, but as they did not want'other portions of the country to have any pro- tection they relused to vote for the tariff bill. When 1 came into office I found that the department had procured 1000 pounds of sugar-beet, with which the chemist of the department was experimenting. “Immediately I obtainea four tons, and now practical experiments by farmers are being carried on at twenty-two agricult- ural stations, In August I shall make a tour of these stations. Sugar-beet thrives well in land which has no rainfall; it will redeem much land in New Mexico, Wyo- ming and other States, and it is my belief that it will alzo turn thousands of voters away from Populism. Our farmers will soon be too busy prospering to listen to the talk o agitators, Bryan‘’s own State will profit ereatly by this new industry, which Republican legislation has estab- lished, and which means employment of more farm labor in Nebraska and conse- quently an increased market for the wares of the factory and store. “Already things are brightening up in California as a result of protection to the California fruit-raiser against his Mediter- ranean rival who pays but a few cents a day to his ignorant, miserable workmen. California is profited also by the sugar- beet tariff. With this in prospect, and her come hand in hand with protection. Asa business man with wide connections, I know that business is reviving, just as it was bound to do assoon as the country had an administration ot stability and a° patriotic tariff law. The business world'is going ahead with confidence. Bryanism can no longer clog the wheeis of industry, . nor can it argue away the fact that good times are beginning.’’ FOUND WANGLED ON THE RAIL.
