BLIZZARD AT CHILKOOT PASS
Thousand Men Fight Their Wav Through
1t Toward Lake Lindeman.

San Francisco, Sept. PA letter from
Crater Lake, Alaska, dated September ?.
says:
thousand men toiled all Of yesterday
in a binding storm of snow and sleet on
the summit of Chilkoot Pass. The bliz-
card lasted from daylight until dark. H.
c. Willard of Butte, Montana, fell from
the rocks at point half way between
the summit and Crater Lake and frac-
tured bone in his left forearm. A p4ly-
stefan set the bone and Willard continued
from Crater Lake toward Lake Linde-
mann.
An Indian chief at Dyea told me few
days ago that Chilkoot Pass would prob
ably be blockaded by snow about the
18th. He said that miners fortunate
enough 10 have their supplies across the
summit before that time can reach Daw-
son. The rivers, he claimed. will keep
open until late in November, although
the lakes will probably be frozen in six
weeks.
Ten days ago the Indians charged 80
cents a pound for packing from Dyea to
Lake Lindemann. The rate is now 40
cents. When the next steamer arrives it
will probably jump TO so or so cents.
