| p. L. Packard, the agent of tho YuKon
Mining, Trading and TraDsp ,rtation
Company, In which Willard salisbury,
Preston Lea Charles f. Hutchings and
other Wilmingtonians are Interested, will
leave this week In company with promi.
nent engineer to survey the rout3 Of the
proposed railroad to the Alaska gold fields
and report the probable cost OF tho COM
struction to the company.
Tho original explorations were made by
Mr.. Packard about two years ago to ascer-
| tain the best route by which the naviga.
| Bile waters Of the Yukon could be reac he'd
from the coast.
During this trip 1t was learned that tho
passes used by the miners were unit for
the successful construction Of O road, but
they heard from the Indians of q natural
pass from tho coast to Tcslin Lake, at tho
head of steamboat navigation on the Yu.
kon.
Some time later another trip was mado
| and the party went over the route that
follows the Yukon from the mouth almost
twenty miles south of Juneau to its con-
fluence with tho Nahkani River, in British
Columbia. From this point q natural
puss was found leading in a northeast dl-
rection to the southwest arm Of Teslln
Lake
The Indians had used this pass fer hun.
dreds Of years, but 1t Ind been traversed
by only q few white men. This route Is
known as Taku pass
These reports influenced the Whining.
ton capitalists, and the company was or.
eanzed, which secured charters from West
Virginia and the British Columbian Gov
ernment. Tho latter made the company
grant of 5ll acres of land to the milo OF
railway to be built. In all the grant will
amount to about 65O, 900 acres, which, how.
ever, is to be left open to prospectors.
The surveying party, under tho auspices
of the Wilmington company, will estab.
lish headquarters at Juneau. Mr.. Packard
said the proposed railroad will be about 15o
miles long and pass through region
aboundlng in rich gold bearing quartz.

Johnson Craze "a 4s.eas l oo,s


We hear some complaint from

to them mixed with Texas oats
ana J, spreads from the droppings of
the mules.
This Johnson Grass is regarded
as a great pest by planters. second
only to coco grass. When II he
comes set IN the soil it is very diff
tlcuit to eradicate. In Missis-
slppl, near Greenville, some wears
ago, a planter took out an in
Junction against his neiobbor
through the Courts, restraining
him from planting Johnson Grass
for the reason that it would make
a public nuisance and would be n
great injury to that section. The
Court sustained the injunction,
and the planting of johnson Grass
seed was discontinued.
Our planters had better be care
full how they use the Texas oat.
