Although the trip out | was a laborious effort it was not particu- iarly hazardous coming by way of Dyea. ompton re that the latest stam- was @ September 7. On that date two miners made a filing before the Gold Commuissioner at Dawson locating claims Sheey | i [ { pede on Montanus Creek.

An icy wind prevailed, and the skinboats which it had been arranged should be sent out by the Iudians 1o take off the freight did not appear at the time agreed upon. Captain Nelsou then decided that he would wait no touger, and without telling the passengers what he intended to do or offer- 1ng 0 take them back to St. Michael, whither they were all willng to go, he weiehed anchor nd started for San Francisco. The idea of such a proceeding had been broached among the passengers, but was laughed at as a good joke, for no one areamed that in this day and age could such a high-handed outrage be per- petrated. The men who intended to take the portage to Nulato are all sirong, energetic people, cquipped with two vears provisions, which had cost them, in addition to the purchase price, 10 cents & pound 1o get it to the point from which it js now returned.
