At Dyea, one hundred miles from
Juneau, the actual journey begins and
this is the most difficult and discour-
aging part of the many miles to be
traversed. The most favorable time for
going into the interior is before the
snow melts from the mountains, which
does not occur till the middle of April
for the abrupt passages and what Is
known as the summit" are better ac-
complished by hauling supplies on
sleds, while the pass is covered with
snow. After leaving Dyea goods must
be hauled six miles over the Dyea
Flats. From this point the route lies
through what is known as the canyon
where the trail leads up the steep and
rugged sides of the mountains along
timbered shelf overlooking the can
yon until Sheep Camp is reached, dis
tance of twelve miles. Here rest Is
taken to await favorable weather
which at best is something terrible
with the thermometer as low as 90 to
so degrees below zero. This stop is to
prepare one for the summit which is
eight miles further up and $500 feet
high and the most difficult and tedious
part of the journey. The trail leads up
narrow and precipitous defile to
Stone House. another well-l1nown rest
ing place, with a purely imaginative
name This place is at the beginning
of the more abrupt climb and is three
miles from the summit. In fact. it is
nothing more nor less than a ledge.
An extract from one of Mr.. Metcalf's
letters describing his first trip over the
summit is interesting.

nit hauling up goods with windlass.

j, w. JONES ARRESTED.
The Arrest Recalls the Fort Stanwax
Bank Tragedy.

A Pittsburg dispatch says: J. Winslow
Jones, sixty years of age, who kept a
small restaurant at 22S1 Second avenue
Hazzelwood, was arrested Thursday by
Deputy United States Marshal Joseph E.
Irons charged with attempting to de-
fraud a national bank.
His arrest comes as sequel to the Fort
Stanwix National bank sensation of last
year at Rome, N. Y. Cashier George
Barnard committed suicide, and an ex-
animation of the books showed that the
bank had suffered by his misappropria-
ton of about 5000, COO of it's funds
Mr.. Jones, when asked for an explana-
ton of how he became involved so seri-
ously in the alleged criminal defalcations
of Barnard, said: "All my dealings with
the banks were perfectly legitimate. I
b lieve that am wanted mostly as a wit
ness in the case together with several
other parties who have lately been ar
rested. My business relations with the
Fort Stanwix bank covered a period of
fifteen years. In all that time my credits
were never overdrawn. The bank was
always secured against loss through my
firm, the Winslow- Jones company of Bal
timore. The collateral security was good.
Mr. Jones is well known in Portland,
where he was SO long identified with the
canning business
