JACK CARR's ADVICE.
The Danger Of Leaving Late for the
ClOndyke

Jack" Carr, the Yukon mali carrier
who is now In the city has received a
large number Of inquiries from people all
over the United States and Canada. ask
ing him for information relative to tho
Clondyke district
One OF the points embraced In many OF
the letters addressed 10 him was the prac-
teal question as TO how late a person
could with safety leave Seattle IN order 10
get into the Clondyke this season. Mr.
Carr was seen by Pcst-rnteiligencer re-
porter Yesterday and said in reply 70 this
question:
No one should think OF leaving Seattle
for the Clondyke later than September /
and even at that date he would require
10 have his whole outfit packed over Il .
mountain. From Dyea 70 Lake Under
man. or from Skaguay TO Windy Arm. ire
two passes now used, the round trip re-
auires three days. and Ii takes so3i,
husky man 10 pack loo pounds over either
route. As the necessary outfit for man
will weigh fully loo pounds. you can
easily see that Ii world take him thirty
six days TO pack his outfit unaided over
either OF the passes alone.
The distance from Dyea over the Chill
koot pass TO the head OF Linaerrnan is
twenty-foar miles From Sksguay
TO the head of Windy Arm. over TIE
W tte pass. the distance is thlrty-one
miles a horse cannot go the full dis
lance over the Chiikoot pass. but the
White pass Is passable for horse the
entire distance. According to the latest
Information have. George Rice will have
about forty-fve pack horses on the White
trail.
Now. anybody who thinks OF leaving
for the Clondyke late In the season should
be warned OF the great peril he will en-
counter. II he should be frozen in at ary
point between the pass and Dawson he
