VICTORIA. Oct s.-Lieutenant Sehwatka,
the noted explorer, who has been conduct
ing scientific expedition in the far north,
reached Victoria on his return to-day. He
gives the following account of the journey:
1--WE struck Lake Ahklain June I6. The
lake wss found to be ninety-five miles long.
drained by the river ewbury. las miles
long. We shot rapids III which the waves
were running eight feet high and proceed
ed overland 10 Fort Selkirk. Here we
hired Indian packers and started for the
CorDer-river country. About 225 miles
brought US TO the foot of the st. Elias Alps,
which are from Goo TO 1900 feet high.
Glacial Ice extended ffty or sixty miles on
each side. Here the Indians left MS. The
nVe or eighty pounds each on
their backs, abandoning ell other
property, including the scientific instrn-
ments. In march of abOut eighty
miles we managed TO break through the
&C. Elias Alps on a glacier. which brought
us To the east fork of the Copper river.
This ia mountain torrent imDede, by
glaciers every few miles. The last days
march, from o'clock In the morning 10
at night. was only two and a half miles and
so fatiguing as To almost exhaust the party.
The canvas covers Of the bedding were
used TO build boat fourteen feet long,
with ribs of willow. In this we started
down the Wees Guar, q fork of the Copper
river hoping that o few miles would take
us out of the enormous rapids. They.
however, were thirty-fve miles long. The
boat upset several times, and the men
were nearly drowned. In one place all
went over O fall and under n waterfall
Five miles of this stream was an enormous
canyon with porpendicuiar walls six to
eight hundred feet high. Our speed was
very great. and we were not more than two
hours IN making these rapids. After gong
another lG0 miles We s6truck In

of the Copper river was much easier

saw tffy.fiye lakes, ranging In length
from three TO one hundred miles large
collection of botanical specimens was made
and photographs of everything of interest
were taken. The most successful feature
of the whole trip was the breaking through
the st. Elias ranges. feat never before
accomplished by man. All the party are
well. The Journey was hazardous III the
