a REPORTED FLOOD.
Chinook said to Have Swamped
Camps ON the Lakes, bat the
story Is Denied.

Special Dispatch to the Post Intelhgencer.
SKAGUAY. Alaska. Oct. ga report
reached This city today that heavy flood
had occurred at Lakes Bennett and Under
man and that much damage had been done
TO provisions cached along the shores. The
story was brought in BY TWO men who
reached Dyea today and Immediately took
the steamer for Juneau. Their names
could not bs learned.
They stated. however. that last week
about four feet Of snow fell - the lakes
and In many places drifts were piled Is or
y feet high. On Saturday night chinook
wind set in. accompanied by heavy rain,
and the immense body OF snow disappeared
in few hours. The lakes rose 20 an alarm
ing extent, flooding tents snd ssacks and
doing great damage 20 paFishahle goods
No lives were lost. K is stated
T. ". Burdlck, OF Los Angeles. who
came In from Lake Bennett today. SAYS
there Is no truth n the statement He left
Bennett on Friday and he says at that
time there was not more than an inch or
snow on the ground. and that the weather
was comparatively mild, although the Their
mometer had been down 20 the freezing
point for a few hours some nights before.
People. he says, are still getting away
down the lakes. The latter statement is
borne out by all those who have reached
Skaguay the past few days.
Mr.. Burdick claims 20 have discovered n
new route TO Lake Bennett near the So
called White pass. He claims that IL is
6l9 feet lower than the present trail across
the summit, and that one man can haul as
many pounds as two horses can pack
across The present trail under the most
favorable conditions. After making an
other examination OF the new route. which
he viii undertake tomorrow. he will. he
says. make Il known. but not until he has
made thorough survey.
