GOLD HUNTERS TROUBLES.
Growing Desperate Over Their Fall
ure to Get to Dawson.

Seattle, Wash, Sept. ga syndicate of
cautious business men of Seattle who cou-
templated sending several prospectors to
the hlondike, first took the preCantion OF
sending an experienced man to Skaguay and
Dyea To examine personally into affairs
there and report on the situation.
A. 3. Gross, who has had a great deal OF
experience in prospecting and packing in
the Northwest Territory, was chosen for
this mission. He returned today and ad-
vises that n,s movement be made TIL spring,
when it will he possible TO accomplish the
trip with some degree OF satisfaction.
To a Times reporter he said that the
miners camped at the passes Were the
craziest crowd OF men he ever saw out
side Of lGnatic asylum, and it was his
opinion that more than per cent would
get through The whole trouble was at
tributable to ignorance OF camp life and
packing over trails that had scarcely
been blazed, and Were so narrow that
two abreast could not pass with safety
The system of establishing camps along
the trail and packing from one to the
otner had been the means of destroying
the pack animals and blockading the
tail. Gross says the stories related by
newspaper correspondents and others fail
to picture the true condition of affairs
now existing along the route, and the
season is now so far advanced that the
situation will become a great deal worse
before i5 becomes better.
Gov. Brady considers the situation criti-
cal, anI; it's stated by those who have seen
him that he proposes calling the attention
Of the Government to the condition OF AZ
fairs. The men have been made desperate
by their siilure to get over the trail and
by the hardshps they have been compelled
10 endure in the struggle againstheayyoddS
They have become suspicious of one an
other, and quarrels are frequent. Every
