MORE SKAGwAY PEoPLR.-Capt A. W
Rose, William Scmidt, and Charles
Semidt, all of whom went last January
to Skagway, Alaska, arrived home Mon
day. The first have come home to stay,
but one or both of the Schmidts may re-
turn to the northern country. The
Schmidt stores in Skagway have been
leased tenants from whom it is said a
monthly rental of 500 is received. Skag-
way is to be the only town Of Importance
on the north coast, ie what Schmidt says
about it and he probably knows. William
Hairless, who packed for long time at
Dyea has gone to Dowson, and George
Woggoner is coasting about among the
islands in small schooner prospecting
for gold. A railroad twelve miles in
length and reaching from Skagway al
most to the summit is now in operation
making it possible for the trip from Se-
attic through TO Dawson city to be made
in twelve or fourteen Objectionable
Times.
