THE TELEGRAPH AND TESt|N
  TRAIL,
 =,
None Better In Alaska, to Reach AfIin, says
 Rev. John PringIe.
Hundreds of Prospectors Camped on the Trails. Waiting to Reach Theit. Localities
 in the Spring.

On Monday last. Rev. John Pringle came down on the ice with three com panions from Glenora, bringing the mails. He will return in few days, taking the mails out. 2. The last mail was received at Glenora, September 18th. His trip consumed 20 days, counting days lns.-iu c. imp tryirg to escape the rain which for F consecu- tive days poured down upon them. The trip was without special incident, except for the last two days, each man of the party was restricted to his allot- ment of one pancake.
 He reports the upper river ice thin ner than below, but during the latter part of the trip it was matter of wad- ing through slush all the time, from ankle to knee deep.
 He reports the number and distribu- tion of the miners n the district as follows:
 At Glenora. l50 in the town itself, all white. At Telegraph Creek, 50 whites and many Indians. On the trail between Glenora and Teslin. are groups of cabins, including one of 30 of the New York party. At the Tahltan is a village of p cabins. The Tooya coun- try holds good many. Hundreds of horses and mules are wintering on the ranges. waiting for spring. Numbers are at Dease Lake, Lake Francis and the head waters of the Pelly. The postoflice at Glenora serves now, about l,200 people.
 Speaking of the outlook he says there come good reports north of the trail between Telegraph and Dease Lake. Parties from Lake Francis. report it a fine country to prospect in and call it good mineral country. Most of these people came in by the Ashcroft and Ed monton trails. of course late, but have found good copper. Quite large quantity of gold has come from the Dcase Lake country. He saw between $500 and 5000 coarse gold that was brought from there.
 From what he has seen and heard, he thinks gold is to be found near Glenora and Telegraph Creek, as it has been found at Glacier Creek, 6 miles below Glenora. It is something of boulder country. Some men, late in the fall averaged $2.00 day and quite num- Der will adventure there in the late spring
 He reports so far, very little snow, about Is inches along the river and 9 in the interior.
 He says the Teslin trail is the finest he ever travelled on, as his dogs went on gallop all the time. The extrem- est cold was 24 below in November
 He says the route to Atlin is good one. From Teslin 30 miles down the lake, then brushed trail b miles to a water way southwest through the woods and 10 miles of waterway to Atlin Lake,
 He says but very few have, even now, any proper conception of the country. It holds great valleys streaching over 40 mics in length, enclosing lake after

lake. The climate is not as cold as Manitoba. Ex-Governor Austin, of Minnesota, wrote back that he never saw so fine country for settlement.
 There are spring brooks on the line between Glenora and Telegraph. There is no end to fine cattle ranges or the op- portunities for agriculture. MT. Geo. Pritchett has raised as fine lettuce, cabbage and potatoes, some weighing from to-3 pounds, as can be raised anywhere. The Tahltan country is Q natural place for cattle. Beyond the Hudson's Bay summit are immense ranges and lakes. Long Lake 125 miles from Glenora is desirable region and we'll wooded.
 MT. Pringle expresses his astonish- ment that the Canadian legislature does not give prompt aid to encourage the construction of 8 railroad into the interior. There is field not only for the miner but for the farmer and stock raiser, for the last two would find 8 ready and profitable local market. He thinks, too, that the Government should have given it's preference to the Don- nelly trail as it is 10 miles shorter and was cleared wagon width.
 He speaks with enthusiasm of the floral wealth of the country. The great quantity and variety of the wild berries which seem to grow everywhere.
 We were 10th to close our interview. but our space will not permit a contin- uance of the subject. We hope the citizens of Wrangel may have the pleasure of hearing him before he goes.
 We suggest that the opera house, be secured and Mir. Pringle be invited to tell us more about this region, which is claiming general attention.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.

In our last.week's issue we gave brief account of shooting scrape which took place at the Standard sa- loon. The affair culminated in the death of the unfortunate victim, Frank, an Indian, early on Christmas morning. A coronor's jury was immediately sum- moned by U. s. Commissioner Tustin, ex-officio coroner. The man Keishbaum who did the shooting, and who had been out on bail, on 8 charge of assault with dangerous weapon, was immedi- ately re-arrested on charge of mur- der,
 The coroner's jury, composed of the following representative men of the place: R. Sylvester, D. McKinnon, P. c. Jensen, F. J. Hunt, T. c. McHugh and T. A. Willson, after viewing the body, ordered an autopsy, which was performed by Drs. Campbell and Laps ley. A careful and exhaustive investi- gation was then gone into by which it was shown that the saloon where the shooting took place, has been, since prior to the 4th of July last, resort for Indians chiefly, where they could obtain openly at the bar, and from the back door, as much liquor as they had money to pay for; and that Keishbaum not content with thus violating the law, would carry liquor around to the Indi- ans in gunny sack and peddle it out to them The coroner's jury found the following verdict:
 Wrangel, Alaska, Dec. 27, 1e9S "We the undersigned jurors, sum- moned to inquire into the cause of the death of an Indian named Frank, after hearing the tes timony of Dr. P. C. Campbell, Dr. F. w. Lapsley, Dr. J. Stiner, w. D. Grant, Jimmie, Peter Simpson, Mary, J. L. Tompkins, Wal ter shadasty, Sam Egypt and Bob Thomas, and the dying statement of the deceased, find the following verdict: That the name of the deceased and by which he was known, is Frank. and he is a native Indian of Alaska.
 "That the deceased died in Wrangel. Alaska. on the 25th day of December 1898. and that the cause of his death was two gun shot wounds inflicted up- on said Frank by Harry Keishbaun. in the Standard saloon in Wranyel. Alaska, on the morning of December 2lst, ls9S.
 And We do further find. that in the death of Frank as aforesaid. d crime has been committed and we do hereby accuse Harry keishbaum with the commission of such crime
