A MOST .r0RL0RN LOT
Pr0spector at Skaguay Writes
Of the Condition Of Affairs
at That Place.
Fully Three Thousand People
There With Little Hope
of Getting On.
Authorities Should Stop the
Rush of immigration in
That Direction.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Aug. 49,
Andrew WATSON, a banker and ex-col-
lector of customs, who left with party
Of seven for the Klondike, has written
his wife from Skaguay as follows:
''There are about 5000 men and Is
horses here, making up the most for
lorn lot ever saw. About half of
them have given up and the other half
either curse or cry. Taking it all to-
gether never seen such a condition OF
affairs. At Dyea there are nearly as
many as here, and am told they are in
the same condition.
"God only knows what will become
Of those headed this way, for none but
those who have horses will get through.
I do not believe that 100 will get
through. Many have started out, but
just as many have returned footsore and
disheartened.' Outfits can be bought
here for song. The authorities should
stop the tide of immigration that is
coming this way. 1t is suicidal to a
prospector to come at this time for the
blockade here will be followed by ono
on the trail. I am firmly convinced
that even after the trail is opened to
traffic the crush of horses will be even
greater that the crush of men here"

Canada VIII Seek an Easier Route to the
klondike.
OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 28.-The Domin-
ion government has determined to test
the feasibility of reaching Klondixe by
way of Edmonton and the Peace river,
and a practical trial Of the proposed
route will be conducted by the interior
department. 1t is claimed for this
route that it offers the advantage Of
continuous stretch of country available
for horses, and could therefore be
utilized by pack trains right through to
the gold>ields.
To ascertain the character Of this
route it has been decided by the minis
ter of the interior to dispatch small
exploration party of Northwest mounted
police as soon as possible. They will
move north by way of the Peace river
to the Laird, and thence by way Of the
Dease to the Pelly, which joins the
Yukon at Fort Selkirk, ITO miles above
Dawson City and but 100 miles above
Stewart river, where, according to pres
ent indications, the bulk Of prospecting
will be done next year.
