FORTY-MILE REPORTED BURNED
Portland Bridges for the Boad Between
Skafnar and the Lake Secretary
Alger's Orders.
Seattle, Nov. 13. The Bteamer City
of Seattle arrived here this afternoon
from Janeaa and Skaguay. Anions the
paeaengers was AddiBon Stewart, who
was with the Thorp party. He left his
associates eight days ago. They had
juBt reached Lake Bennett with 36 bead
of cattle. The lake and river were freez
ing rapidly and by the time the cattle
were butchered and sleds built it was
thought the river would be sufficiently
frozen to permit tue party starting for
Dawson City with the frozen, beef.
Waechter and Stenber of Spokane bad
also reached the lake with their band of
cattle.
John McArthur of Seattle, who went
to Cook inlet last spring in the interests
of the Alaska' Gold Syndicate, was also
a passenger. He make extensive explo
rations in the country tributarv to Cook
inlet. He discovered twelve rivers
which had never been previously located.
He described it as - rough, mountainous
country, which he thinks is very rich in
quartz ledges, the croppings of which
show $7.40 in gold per ton. McArthur
Bays that a party of twenty uen are now
camped at Knick arm, awaiting the ar
rival of Copper river Indians, who come
down to trade at Cook inlet. The in
tention of the men is to follow the In
dians back, and, if possible, .locate the
field from which they procure the gold
brought out by them on their trading
expeditions.

THE S1ICKEEN ROUTE.
It Is Not What the British Claim Is to
lie.
Fort Wrangle, Nov. 5. A great
number of persons are anxious for in
formation as to the Stickeen route as a
way of entering the Yukon country.
There is no doubt that a person having
gone any one way would wish he bad
gone some other, but I have this to Bay :
There is but one route to the Yukon and
that is by Dyea. All the others are just
as hard and ten times as long.
The route is up the Stickeen river, 150
. miles. The river is frozen from Novem
ber nntil April. From April 15 until
July the water is too shallow to permit
of anything but canoe navigation, and
the Indians charge $100 per ton to take
freight up in -canoes, and are raising
prices all the time. During July, Au
gust and September the river is a foam
ing mountaiu torrent. The month of
October, when all the high ground is
freezing and before the ice forms in the
river, is the only month put of the 12
that can be at all relied upon as practic
al forgoing up the river in small boats.
Kiver boats are subjected to the same
general rule. No boat drawing over 18
inches would be of the slightest use cn
the Stickeen, and the rapids are foam
ing masses. For instance, the Indians
carry blocks and long ropes (300 feet)
fasten the ropes ashore to a tree and
draw the canoes up over the rapids
Such boats as the Eugene and those on
the Willamette river could not make
the Stickeen in one hundred years,
Then after you are once at Telegraph
creek, the head of possible navigation, it
is 160 miles more to Tealin lake, over
land. Some people say there is a trail
over this country, but no .living man
will say that he ever personally saw this
trail. ' No, there is no trail. It is a
ewamp, knee deep in water, and moss,
and denselv covered with brash and
pruce trees.. It looks like the fur thick
ets along the railroad above Oregon City.
You can't see six feet in front of you.
There is no trail and none can be made
without corduroying the entire distance.
'Jake the best ground on the entire route
and after leading three head of horses
across it' a person, would go in all over
trying to follow.
The people in Victoria say the British
are going to build a road from Telegraph
creeek to Teslin lake. If they ever do
it will be on piles driven to bedrock the
whole distance. . Victoria is booming
the Stickeen route. You hear clerks in
etores and little, pale-faced steamboat
agents whom one breath down the
Stickeen would freeze to stiff for a pike
pole telling tenderfeet about the easy
Stickeen route. It is all wrong; it 1b
scarcely less than accessory to murder.
Out of the thirtv well-equipped parties
who left here, twelve of them loBt their
outfits by the boats upsetting, one man
was drowned and one party of two men
reached Telegraph prior to October 15 ,
the rest all came back. Since then
they have all gone through, and they all
had Indian guides and helpers on fcoth
occasions.
