Spofford and surveying party are, to-
day, working on the course of the pro-
posed Augusta and Pennington Rail
road toward Readtield. They will work
gradually on to the hill to the west of
the Maine Central tracks, and beyond
Sturtevant's hill will strike an easy
.oute to Readfield. 1t is likely that the
Readfield station will be located in the
vicinity of Records grst mill or else
near Browns old grocery store.
From there the road will follow the
mill-stream to the saw mill, thence up
he left shore of the lake where it will
probably locate a station to accommo-

be less than half a mile north from

Two steamers arrived, last night, from
Dawson loaded with wealth. The
mines are the richest on earth. Men

provisions as they are scarce
Captain Anderson of the National
City. says he knows that a large amout
of gold came down the river from Daw-

the troop by train.
Preparations to break camp were

CRITICAL TIMES At oYEA.
The Situation There and at Skaguay Said to
Be Daily Growing Worse.

| Seattle, Wash, Sept. 8.-A syndicate
OF cautious business men of Seattle
VINO contemplate sending several pros
pectors to the Klondyke first took the
precaution of sending an experienced
| man to Skaguay and Dyea to examine
personally into affairs there and re-
port on the situation. A. s. Gross, who
has had great deal of experience in
! prospecting and packing in the North
west Territory. was chosen for this
mission. He returned. today and ad-
vises that no movement be made till
spring. when it will be possible to ac-
complish the trip with some degree of
satisfaction.
To Sun reporter he said that the
miners camped at the passes were the
craziest crowd of men he ever saw out
side of lunatic asylum, and it was
his opinion that not more than per
cent. could get through The whole
trouble was attributable to ignorance
of camp life and packing over trails
that had scarcely been blazed and were
so narrow that two abreast could not
pass with safety. The system of estab-
fishing camps along the trail and pack
ing from one to the other had been the

the stories related by newspaper cor
respondents and others fail to picture
the true condition of affairs now ex-
listing along the route, and the season
is now SO far advanced that the situa-
ton will become a great deal worse
before it gets better.
Governor Brady considers the situa-
ton critical, and it is stated by those
who have seen him that he purposes
calling the attention of the government
to the condition of affairs. The men
have been made desperate by their
failure to get over the trail and by the
hardships they have been compelled to
endure in the hopeless struggle against
heavy odds. They have become sus-
picious of one another. and quarrels
are frequent. Every mans hand is
raised against every other man. The
lawless characters are much in evil
dence, and dissensions and discords
have broken out among the miners
until such a thing as cooperation Is
impossible.

September 8.-(SpeciaD-No l don't
feel quite as clipper as l did Tuesday
