PORT LUDLOW. Nov. 7.-lSpeciaL 1.-The bark

few miles OF the cape, when he was picked
up by the tug Mogui. When the Mogul took
the Cheston in tow she had fourteen
feet of water in her hold: her water tanks had
been rendered useless by the shifting OF the
piles: about half o! her bulwarks on the port
side had been carried away by the action of the

NEW PATHSIN ALASKA
Return of Lieut.. Glave From
the Yukon Country.
EXPLORING WITH PACK HORSES.
4 Vast Tract of Easily Accessible coun-
try Opened-The Head Waters
of the Altsehk.

VICTORIA, B. c., Nov. IA. J. Glsve, late OF
stanley's exploring expedition, who has been In
Alaska for the past seven months, arrived THIS
evening from an attempt 10 reach the mead
waters of the Altsehk river. He located the
source about eleven miles northeast OF Mount
st. Elias, and has, in the expedition, demon
strsted the fact that the whole of the country
east of Schwatks's field of explorations is avail
able for pack horses. He hlmsen
took and brought back four horses
in perfect condition. Previously nothing
but Indian carriers had been employed
in the county trayersed. He has discovered
and taken Photographic views OF the whole
country lying between the North Yukon and
the base of the St Elias alps, and finds it more
suitable for traffic than was ever imagined be-
fore. Glave proceeds direct to Washington City
10 ask the United States government Tor an APP
preparation to enable him to open IN The tracts
next season. His party was composed OF him.
self and friend named Dalton, being the
smallest party that ever traversed that region.
He took 100 photographs and also discovered an
enormously rich copper mine.
Lieutenant Glaye stated that the amount OF
money he would ask the government to appro-
pirate is $4,000. He continued:
We started from Chilcat river and cut across
in an opposite direction from that taken by
Schwatka, striking fine country all the way.
Half way through the trip in this
hitherto unknown country We came on
a great mountain of copper only before
thought TO exist in Indian mythology, and after
locating the place by latitude and longitude,
took several photographs of it. The hills sre
covered with a sheeting OF solid copper. The
mining districts in the known country
passed through are all doing splendldly.
better than in any former year. some
of the nuggets found are worth $3.50 and $500
and several worth 5000 were discovered, and
caused locking there OF miners from all parts
OF Alaska. The country is grand and there is
very little hardship in penetrating 1t. We met
with no hostile Indians, but twice we came
near meeting death owing to the
swift rayids we passed through. There are
great complaints in the mining districts OF the
greed OF the Alaska Commercial Company.
Alter years OF scheming they have at length OBJ
tanned possession of all the trading posts on the
Yukon river and made monopoly of the store
business. The consequence is that the miners
now pay twice as much as formerly
for provisions and clothing. We have got
altogether 500 photographs and important ge-
illogical specimens. The people OF Alaska are
complaining bitterly of Schwatka's exploration
trip, and say that while it was no doubt mag
nitcent piece of work, he has not benefited
them At ali by il as he set out 10 do.
