In speaking Of '.f1e cOGBltry Mr. Miner
said In regard TO UIe trails [ would
advise pFOpie very strongly dgd-Trsl the
ShaguaV proposition. IfIe thousands of
dead horses aIOng tle route are sufficient
to condemn it. IEle NUMBER Of people

not exceed 90 and -nese were AL heard %
condemn it as practically impossible. The

RIVER from WC9ugaie I know LtlIe or

trail. In my OPINION TIE best and only
way to arrive at the klOldll6e gold fields
is by way of CiTilkoOt pass. The SUM
