The way TO travel to Alaska is in par
ties of four. These can easily be accom-
modated in one room, and can travel in
one small conveyance. One Of the party
should be a practical chemist, or under
stand the compiling of drugs, and one
should be able to sew. A woman Is of the
utmost assistance, but few Of the sex
have ventured out In the baggage which
the four carry should be pieces of tanned
skins. shoe leather, fnannel and wool,
everything for repairing the Alaskan
wearing apparel One Of the number
should be able to cook and the fourth
should understand the art of putting up
quick shelter. All should be willing to
share and share alike in hardship.
one of the hardest things the prospector
has to endure is the sight of the sacks OF
gold dust that are being shipped from
every seaport and the tons Of ore that
ar being sent down from ST. Mich
aels and south from Juneau. In one day
there came adviees from st. Michael that
81 100000 worth in gold dust would be ship
ned by the Wells-Fargo south, and that
S7sS 600 in dust was awaiting transporta-
ton. In one day there came down on the

travelling through the settlements Of Alas

It is certainly true that better finds
are being made in American territory than
i'm British Columbia. -Four .undred miles

been formed by rocks rolling down.
The second point is where arDoreal
vegetation of fair growth first begins.
WADE IN ICE WATER.
''At six miles from the head OF the
inlet the stream followed down from
the summit is joined by another called
Nourse river. The valley OF this
stream and that from the path are
narrow and V-shaped. but from point
Of junction a wide valley runs south
between high mountain walls. The liz
tie river formed by the confluence may
be assembled by canoes with difficulty
for some miles when the water is low.
Ii is easy, however, to walk along the
gravel flats, although ii is necessary TO
wade in swift, ice-cold water.
Another pass from Talya inlet 10 the
lakes on the headwaters of the Lewes
is called the White pass. 1t leaves the
coast at the mouth of the Shkagway
river. five miles south Taiya inlet. and
runs parallel with Chilkoot pass at no
great distance from it. Though the
land carriage is somewhat longer by
this, it appears to present less difficulty
for the construction Of practical trail
or road The distance from the coast
to the summit is seventeen miles. Five
miles of this is level bottom land
thickly timbered. The next nine miles
is in eanyon-like valley, where heavy
work would be encountered in con-
structing a trail. The remaining dis
lance of three miles to the summit is
comparatively easy. The summit mas
an altitude of $500 feet. Beyond the
summit wide valley is entered, and It's
descent TO the first lake Is not more
than 100 feet. The mountains rapidly
decrease in height and abruptness al
ter the summit is passed, and the valley
divides. one branch leading to the head
of Windy arm of Tagish lake. the 9TH
er. down which the water drains, COINS
to Tako arm Of the same lake.
Chilkoot pass is at the head or Lynn,

west branch of the Taiya and runs
west of the Chilkoot to che mead

The Baruato5 have nearly all followed
the Yukon. j leads into Klondike, and
one OF its tribGtaaies is the Klondike river.
Dawson, Joseph Ladue Barnato's town. is
on the Yukon; and Circle City, another
rich spot, lies on its banks.
Land is for sale here very cheap. Or
you can do as many prospectors have
done-start in hunting for gold without
making too many inquiries. The find is
so sudden that there is no sharp line
between that which is sold and that
which belongs TO the United States, and a
man il free to hunt where he will. For
your own comfort. however, it is well to
have some definite arrangement made
with the nearest authorities, so as 10
avoid trouble in case OF a rich ind.
Another way to reach the gold fields is
BY the overland route Many journey this
way in wagons as they went TO Pike 5
Peak or Bust" years ago. The route be-
gins at Seattle and follows the coast north
past Sitka, past Juneau and through the
Chilcoe Pass. And so north through the
gold fields to Dawson. The finds here
are rich, and when Klondyke is reached,

TIMBER FOR BOATS.


Timber suitable for building boats
can scarcely be found in the vicinity
of Lake Lindeman, but no difficulty is
met in obtaining trees OF fair size on
Bennett and Tagish lakes. Below these
lakes the country is generally wooded.
There is an abundance Of spruce OF fair
quality, growing tall and straight in
several localities, but seldom reaching
the diameter Of two feet
Considerable space is given to the
Chilkoot pass and the White pass. The
report states that the length Of the
mountain portage from Lake Linde-
man TO Taiya inlet is twenty-three
miles and a half, the summit Of the
Chilkcot pass being at a distance Of
eight and one-half miles from Lake
Lindeman. with an elevation Of 3,502
feet. The description is as follows:
The valley on the north or inland
side Of the summit contains several lit
tie lakes The trail is rough and crook
ed, without improvement Of any kind.
II follows the stream in one place about
a mile through a narrow -oeky defile,
which has evidently been cut through.
From seven or eight miles Of the high
est part OF the pass may be said TO be
fairly destitute Of timber. At the ac-
tual summit the trail leads through
narrow, rocky gap, and the whole scene
is one of most complete desolation, the
naked granite rocks rising steepIy TO
partly snow-clad mountains on either
side. The stone house and sheep
camp are points noted In this part Of

Puget Sound steamship 800, 900 in Alaskan
gold
There is. as usual, a howl about the
exaggeration in values hereabodts. But
the facts are as stated and greater. 1t
was so when gold was found in the
West Rockies and in California. There
really was gold and plenty of it; and
so in Alaska. There is a chance for
twenty Barnatos, but, of course, among
%. GOETHE present number of applicants
that have applied at the steamship and
overland offices, there must be many
disappointed ones.
Even without making a Barnato for
tune man may do wen here, for there
is a fine chance for Yankee ingenuity
and the building up of fine American
cities in the very far North.
