Railway to the Upper Yukon.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22-The indications
now are the facilities for reaching the
Klondike gold region in Alaska in COM
paratively short time will be ample for all
reasonable demands. Reliable information
has reached here from London to the effect
that Il syndicate of English and American
capitalists has perfected arrangements for
the construction of a railroad from the
head of Lynn canal over White pass and
thence by a route already located to a point
on the Yukon river below the rapids and
all other distractions to clear and safe
navigation. The road will be about $50
miles in length, and from the point where
it meets the Yukon there is said to be amply
sufficient water at all times, making the
trip to Dawson the shortest yet proposed.
