Portland Ore, Dec. 24.-George Ruth
of Flathead county, Montana, reached
Portland on the steamer Elder this
evening, having come direct from Daw-
son City. which point he left Nov. 5.
Warned of the suffering that was inn
minent before winter passed owing to
the shortage of provisions in Dawson
and vicinity, Mr.. Ruth disposed of all
his supplies except lilo pounds, which he
used on his way to Dyea. He states that
there were from 5000 to 1000 people con-
gregated at Dawson and in that vicinity
and he estimates that the provisions are
sufficient to winter about 1000 only.
OF the situation there he said All

those claims. They are pannlng out in
wonderful quantities. But, the glitter
af gold there does not supply the place

THE DURRANT SENSATION.
Juror SMITH Is Charged With Using In
formation Not Presented at the Trial
in Deciding the Case.

San Francisco, Dec. 24.-The long
promised sensation in the Durranr case
developed late this afternoon when w.
A. Durrant, father of the murderer,
presented an affidavit to Superior
Judge Seawell, in which he charges
Juror Smyth with having knowingly
used certain information not presented
at the trial of Theodore Durrant in de-
Gliding the merits of the case in his
(Smyth's) mind. Durrant, sr., charges
that Smyth talked of the case to rep
utable persons before the trial was
concluded, and Juror Smyth told these
persons that Theodore Durrant had
been on terms of criminal intimacy
with near relatives and that he was
abnormally developed sexually: that
Juror Smyth had minated that Dur
rant, sr., knew of these relations. that
Smyth had made up his mind as to the
defendants guilt before the trial was
half concluded.
Durrant's attorneys to-day formulate
ed papers on a motion for a writ of
probable cause and presented them to
Judge Bahrs, but he denied the mo-
ton and gave notice that an applica-
ton for a writ of probable cause should
he made before the supreme court.
This will be done in a few days, the
attorneys for Durrant say.

manned at Hazleton and will push
through to the Stewart river country
as soon as the snow hardens sufficiently
for dog trains. Mr.. Campbell says the
route traverses an open. undulating
country the entire distance, with no Sc
we're grades at any point. At Hazleton
he conversed with men who came in
from the Teslin lake country. and they
reported the trail open over that part of
the route. Some of them have been
packing and driving cattle over 1t for
Is years. and arrangements have been
made TO take 1000 head of cattle over
this route in the spring.
Campbell says there is good grazing
along the entire route and an abundance
of wood and water. Between Quesnelle
and HaZleton he met Indians coming in
from Fort George. who reported rich
strikes on the Salmon river, the returns
being 50 to the pan. The route for a
long distance follows the old Telegraph
trail. cut out by the Western Union.
Much of the wire is still there, though
the Indians have taken most of il. They
use it for fencing, to tie the ends of their
snowshoes and to make nails.

questions in Alaska held a brief ses-
sion to-day devoting themselves ex-
