STEAMER FROM sKAeuAY.
Thirty Men Return Having Given Up the
idea of Getting Across the Passes.

Thirty Men Return Having Given Up the
idea of Getting Across the Passes,
VICTORIA, B. c., Sept. 6.-The steam
or Queen arrived from Skaguay yester-
day, bringing 30 men who had given up
the idea of getting cross the passes One
thousand men have gone to work on the
the Skaguay trail to try to open 1t up,
no one being allowed in the meantime
to go through. Many will wait until
the snow falls and take their outfits
over OH sledges In fact, sledges al
ready are being used TO cross the sum-
NIT or the Dyea trail.
There have been 20 assertions from
the United States steamer Concord at
Juneau, the men leaving to go to the
mines.
S. M. Lesikatis, who went into the
Klondike last spring, sends out word to
his partner, Mr.. Hens Of juneau, that
he has struck it rich. He says: 81
sunk two prospect holes without find
ing anything, but in the third l could
pick mp nuggets with my hands. l am
so excited can not write. We are rich.
The amount of gold people have here Is
something appalling.
Frank /. Champion of Mount Vernon,
Wash, is one Of the passengers down
from Skaguay ON the Queen. He went
up to look over the situation and took a
trip over both passes. He says that the
killing of horses was caused largely by
novices who do not know how TO load
them. In many instances the pack
saddles are allowed to wear great holes
in the horses backs.
The men who are fixing the trail will
be the first to profit by it. This has
been decided by the vigilance com.
mittee, and no man can go ON the trail
with packs without certificate from
the secretary that he has done so much
work ON the trail.
One man whom Mr.. Champion saw
had gotten nearly all of his outfit over
when the trail vas closed for travel.
The committee refused TO let him take
the remainder of his pack over. His
entreaties did no good. In desperation
he went back aud got a Winchester
rifle and two revolvers and held mp the
committee and went through.
At Dyea and the Chilcoot Pass the
conditions are much the same as ON the
Skaguay trail
