news that the river steamers Alice and
Merwin, with over 200 people bound for
Dawson City which were caught in
the Ice in Boring Sea OFF the mouth of
the Yukon, Were released by sudden
breaking up OF the foe three weeks
ago and are now on their way up the
river. They will not go far, however,
as 1t was the intention of their COM
manders to md safe and easy har-
Dor in some slough and there lay up
for the winter being frozen in where
there will be little danger in the break
up. next spring. They may be able to
get 200 miles up the river.
The steamer Mare Island. which II
was hoped would be able to get into
the river this fall is now wintering at
Stebbins. point in the southern
slough of the Yukon. not far from the
Boring Sea, but sufficiently inside to
be protected from the storms and to be
out of danger of the ice crush. The

thought to be at Stebbins.

Ing the President TO come south later.
A. Vail of Cripple Creek, Colo, came
down on the Excelsior, He went north

Alice. each of the last two with a
