WHEAT STILL COING UP
Beattie, Sept. 1.—The following let­
ter was received per steamer Utopia,
Which arrived dTflurt tie today:
oxaguay, A^g. 84.—Tbe jam is broken
on tbe Skaguay trail. A number of
outfits have gotten over, and there is a
steady stream-of moving humanity,
mixed up in an almost indescribable
mam of horses of all sines, ages and
conditions, mules, steers, milch cows,
goats and dogs, also vehicles of every
description and kind to be imagined.
Three steamers are now unloading on
lighters, which convey the freight as
near tbe shore as possible, where it is
loaded on wagons or carried above high
tide.
The Utopia is unloading at the
only wharf—a very abaky structure.
Two piledrivers are at work on another
dock, which is intended to be a sub­
stantial one.
