A Forgotten Trail Of the
Fur Company
Days.

On the 18th day of last october two
young men, John NJ. Campbell OF Spo-
kane, Wash, and Len Miller of Sandon,
3. c., left Spokane for Teslin lake. the
headwaters of the Yukon, overland.
Their object was twofold. Campbell
was to gather material for a complete
description of the country and its re-
sources, as well as take photographs
along the trail; while Miller, who in
Sandon had been told of some rich gold
lodges near Dease lake by a miner with
whom he had worked, hoped to be able
to make a rich location. Neither of the
boys are % years of age. but, being
hardy young fellows. whose homes had
always been in the mountains, they did
not hesitate to make this rather ad-
venturesome trip alone, and over a
road of which little was then known to
the public.

To make as good time as possible
they Travelled by rail and steamer to
Ashcroft, B. c, where horses were Sc
cured. Their supplies were freighted to
