Lehman's toes were amputated to-day. His feet were frozen while in his cabin for lack Of proper clothing. He craWled on his hands and knees eight miles up the trail to this place. The other inmates are also suffering from frost and with scurvy. There have been treated at the post over three-scOre of sufferers since the ice jam.
 The hardshfps suffered by these peo- pie who came so far from their base or operations to secure food are be- yond anything witnessed or understood Tn the ordinary course of life. With all this great number, as well as most or these are stranded on the lower river, this must be written down as a wasted winter. They struggled along slngly and in pairs of parties pulling their sleds, heavy with a couple of hundred pounds of beans and bacon and four, travelling five to ten miles a day They founder on through the drifts, sweating with the great exer- ton or freezing in the single moment Of relaxation, often benumbed at the time Of making camp, so as to find 1t almost impossible to strike a match or coax the frozen wood into a blaze
 Their five or seven months outfit I weighs from zoo to 300 pounds, they cannot haul it all at once and are com pelled to take a portion forward a few miles, leave it on the trail and return to their camp, bringing up another load the next day. In this way they ad- vance their entire outfit probably twenty miles in a week This experi- ence makes up the daily existence of the proSpectOr in this country. Indeed with the prospector the conditions are even more severe, for he must leave the beaten track and break for himself trail through the wilderness and over mountain passes.
 met men here who have chased the golden fleece in every part of the world and they declare that for hardship none other is comparable with this camp on the Yukon.
