An interesting letter. under date of May

terson from William Shut, one of the Po-

Alaska. Mr.. Shut describes the journey
from the time the party reached the sum-
nit of the glacier, 1900 feet in elevation,
where the provisions had to be hauled up
with block and tackle. to the present camp,
twenty miles from Sunrise City,
After reaching the summit of the glacier
sleds were used for distance Of eighteen
miles to tidewater. They expect the snow
to have melted by July 1st and as the min
ing season lasts but ninety days are pres1 r
ing for active operations and propose to
make the most of the short season. They
have but two modes of travel, according to
the season, either by snow shoes or by boat.
The party had SO far located three claims
about twelve miles from their main sup
plies. He reports some rich finds by other
prospectors about Sunrise City. All are
we'll and have gained on. an average of fif-
teen pounds to the man. In closing Mr.
