what transpires along the route to Daw-
son, 1t is a story of remarkable interest
that DR.. Durham has sent the depart
ment, consisting of his personal expert
ences during the struggle into this new
est NeyerNever country. II tells not
only of what has happened, but of the
perils and the final conditions that many
of the Klondike bound emigrants must
face Among the facts he relates are the
following:
Il left Dyea Monday morning at IL
O'Clock and arrived here (Lake Under
NAM Tuesday evening at z. My four
Indians started ahead of me, but | have
seen nothing of them since the start
from Dyea, and am waiting for them
here. When / reached the foot of the
summit terrible storm was raging on
the pass, and l presume the Indians
went into camp somewhere on the other
side TO await better weather. 1t has been
storming-rain, sleet and snow alternat-
ing-eonstantly on the summit since
Tuesday morning, and the situation is
aggravated by a piercing wind of 30
miles velocity.
Il had an awful experience coming
across the summit. l started out with
my hand bag strapped on my back.

pounds / could carry ii. l managed to
struggle along to the head of nayiga-
tion for canoes, six miles from Dyea,
and was there forced to employ an In
dian packer. paying him SO TO carry
my grip to Sheep Camp, II miles from
Dyea. | spent the night at Sheep
Camp, which is merely collection of
tents. and started for the summit at
O'Clock Tuesday morning in a driz-
zling, cold rain. l employed a packer
to carry my grip from there to Lake
Linderman, paying him SIG.
AT the foot of the summit we met
perhaps a hundred Indian and white
packers who had cached their packs on
the trail above and were returning TO
Sheep Camp to await an abatement of
the storm. We were warned that il
was dangerous 10 attempt 10 get over,

and | wished to be here when they arl
rived. The distance from the foot oil
the summit to the top is said to be threeI
quarters of mile, but it seems like five
miles The trail ascends at an angle oil
40 degrees, skirting precipices where d
misstep would hurl one thousand feel
below, crossing the face of glaciers al
smooth as glass, and in many places
traversing the polished surface of great
granite boulders hundreds of feet in ext

Every hundred yards or so noun
tain torrents, fed by the glaciers, and
on the present occasion augmented by
the rainfall, rush across the trail, and
have to be waded, the water often conf
ing to the knees. Add to this a gale
blowing so miles an hour, with sleet and
snow rushing horizontally through thel
air. and the temperature at 30 degrees.

horrors of my passage across the sum-
init. After struggling up steep ascent

before the chilling wind would cut me
to the marrow. and / would have to
continue my course to keep from chilling

Before I reached the summit was
wet to the skin and my boots were full
of water, and the added weight of the
water made it almost impossible to pro-
coed. finally reached this camp, at the
head of Lake Linderman, about Z o'clock

As my Indians had not arrived I
had no change of underclothing, and

of warm. dry Undertaking, and these,
supplemented by half a teacupful of
rum, brought some warmth back to my

THE sun has just made it's appear
ance, and old-timers say we are likely
to have good weather by tomorrow.
This climate is very treacherous,
changes being very sudden On the
ocean side of the mountains 1t rains
more than half the time, and rains
hard. On account of the continuous
rains the soil washes down from the
steep mountain sides, and wherever
there is level place you will find a bog
into which a man or horse sinks to the
knees at every step.
This is one of the worst features OF
The trails, and makes it almost impos-
sible to use horses. Many of these
DOGGY places have been corduroyed and
suppose by next summer the Skaguay
trail, which is now practically impass-
able on account of the bogs, will be in
fair condition. AT present the condi-
ion OF affairs on both trails is terrible,
