Col. F. S. Chadbourne, state harbor
commissioner of California, who was
1 passenger on the steamship Queen.
brought down advices to the above eff
feet. Col. Chadbourne says that Col
lector Ives and a force of deputy
United States marshals had deter
mined to raid the town of Skaguay and
clean out the whisky smugglers and
saloon men and rid the camp of the
disorderly element. Heretofore the
authorities have been utterly unable
TO cope with the disorderly people in
the camp because it was one Of the
hottest on record" 1t was the refuge
OF the worst class of criminals, conf
dence men and thugs on the coast.
These, with the whisky men, had COM
bined to block the trail, so as to keep
the tenderfeeJ there all winter and
fleece them as long as there was dol
lar left in the camp.
Serious as is the situation at Skaguay
and White pass, as portrayed by letters
and by men returned from the camp.
| / sconsolate and appalling as is the con-
dition of the trail over the mountain
barrier between the $500 gold hunters
and the paradise on the other side, the
accounts published from time to time
seem to have but family portrayed the
actual state of affairs.
Made desperate by their failure to get
over the trail and by the terrible hard
ships that they have been compelled
to endure in the hopeless struggle
against odds of the past weeks, the
miners have become suspicious Of each
other and Quarrels are of hourly occur
renee. Every mans hand is raised
against every other man. The lawless
characters are much in evidence and
dissensions and discords have broken
out among the miners until such a
thing as co operation is impossible.
Gov Brady is quoted as saying that
the situation is laden with trouble and
that he intends notifying the depart
ment at Washington of the condition
Of affairs. In spite Of the attempts
OF the miners committee to close tbs
trail so that it can be repaired, one
party of twelve, with drawn revolvers
and loaded rifles, announced their in
tention of going through to the sum
nit. They passed a guard of miner:
and set out for the summit. The com
mittee was called together and mum
Der of armed men sent to head then
Off If trouble is averted it will b.
by the greatest good luck. Men have
lest all sense of reason and spirit o
. desperation and reckless obliviousnes
to consequences pervades the camp.

OF the states at less than 60 cents an
acre. The territory apportiOned to
New York state amounted to 10000
acres, and the legislature of that state

Cornell offered to buy the lands then

Of well bred horses roam. He has

visit to that institution and was very
much interested in it's work. Parker's
hotner was white woman who was

by the Indians. She married one of
the warriors of the tribe, and when
Quanah was small boy she was re-
captured by her friends and died of a
broken heart because she was not AL

Quanah was made chief of the tribe
and has ruled it with great wisdom
