An we now look down Into a little
valley below us several thousand
feet we can aee the old White Pass
city, at one time a place of 20,000
people sheltered In tents under the
scrubby trees and the cold blue sky
of beaven. It was here that the ex
cited gold-seekers began climbing the
rocky bill and trailing ap the great
White Pane with tbelr burdensome
loads on their backs, and where, In
places, they actually climbed on tbelr
hands and knees for fear they would
lose their balance and plunge head
long Into the dark abyss thousands
of feet below. This place Is known
to this day as Dead Horse gulch,
where many men, as well as horses,
went down Into the Jaws of death.
I do not wonder that strong hearts
grew faint when they reached the
summit, 3,000 feet high, on beholding
mountains to the right of them,
mountains to the left of them, and,
as far as the eye could see, moun
tains In front of tbetn. And as we
are passing along at our ease and
looking down on the old trail of that
memorable year of 1SU7 and '98, we
cannot help shuddering. Our train
has now reached the summit, and
while we take a look at the bronze
statue, we stand at once on the soil
of two great nations. But we are
w going down the Thompson
river, and we pass many small lakes
and now and then a morass. The
winds from the snow-capped nioun
tains are sweeping over the bare
rocks as we go down the canyon
We at last have reached the head
waters of the great Yukon river, Lake
Bennett, where at one time 15,000
men were camped on Its shores con
structlng, out of the scrubby timber,
boats and rafts to carry tbelr stuff
down the chain of lakes to the river,
and the only building standing now
Is a lonely little church which has
been turned over to the Alaskan owl
and a congregation of Prairie dogs
Some distance away Is now a small
depot and railroad eating house. It
Is at this place that the train meets
the one from White Horse Rapids,
and here some of our party turned
back while others went on north,
bound for many different points In
that far-away country.
We have now returned to Skag
ray, and a hurried walk brings us
own to our steamer, which Is Just
pulling away as the last passenger
i on board. The shadows now
over over the beatulful bay, while
the sun Is putting his golden lining
on the "Saw Tooth" mountains be
hind us, and the clear, Icy pinnacles
of the glaciers sparkle and glitter
like so many diamonds.
it Is now morning again and we
are leaving Icy and Chatham Straits
and passing through Peril Strait and
around to the west side of Baronof
aland to that quaint old Russian
town, Sitka, which was for many
years the capital of that vast coun
try. It Is situated on a beauti
ful tract of undulating ground ex
tending from the bay back to the
base of the snow-capped Mt. Vers
torol. As we leave the dock we pass
up the street where the Indians have
a great many temporary booths, and
as they sit lu them, on the ground,
they offer for sale their baskets and
a great many other articles of their
handicraft, some of which are
very leautlful ns well as eccentric.
artner up tne street we pass many
f the old Russian buildings, con
iruetea oi logs, many which were
nearly two' feet lu diameter. Some
of these were used for stalling the
cattle, while others were for the con
lets. As we pass along the wind
Ing street we notice the old water
mill where they used to grind the
heat purchased In California from
the Spaniards, and now one of the
Id tulllHtones or burrs leans up
gainst the old log mill. As we wan
der along the street to the beautiful
ark, we pass many peculiarly con
tructed old buildings. The park,
with Its winding paths and pretty
trees and flowers. Is ornamented
with the Totem poles of many tribes
of Indians.
We next visit the Shelton Jackson
Museum, which contains a great
many Russian and Indian curios;
and If I were to tell you all about
them It would necessitate me writing
a large book. I could also tell you
much about the government's ex
perimental farm and the Industrial
school for Indians, If space would
permit.
But the old church, with Its most
leautlful chiming bells, must not te
forgotten. It Is built after the style
of the Wreck or double cross, and as
we enter the outer door we pay the
lady 50 rents and are ushered Into
the large room, or church, where we
have to register our names, and then
we are turned over to the custodian,
who Is waiting to show and explain
many very Iwautlful pictures which
are Inlaid on Ivory and precious
woods with solid gold and silver,
and also many very beautiful oil
paintings. They are all the work of
master srtlst and so old that their
