posted its passengers on August l, and
so was among the earliest corners. He
had an ordinary miners outfit, weigh
ing 1,20O pounds, two horses and 5000.
He considered himself fairly well
equipped. He helped the others cor
duroy the trail and bridge the rivers.
By the time this necessary work had
been done crowds of wayfarers had
arrived. and soon the trail was worse
than ever.
In eight weeks of the hardest work
he had ever done Rickard managed to
get his goods to the summit of the last
hill. Then his money was gone, his
horses exhausted, and he had the choice
of wintering in the timber by the lakes,
while his food supply diminished, or of
returning TO California and earning
more money TO again attempt the trip
northward. He figured that if he
camped the winter, as so many are
counting upon doing. he would have an
early start in the spring, but would by
that time b; only two months pro
visions left al he outside. and he was
already pennhess. Richard spent his
money for food and shoes for his horses.
He says the difficulty of feeding horses
on the Skaguay trail is enormous. 1t
was necessary 10 go all the way back
TO Skaguay for hay, and by the time it
was brought back to the hungry AMI
mails waiting for ii the other animals
met on the trail. by each taking a pass
ing nip, had reduced the quantity about
80 per cent. The horses are fond of
birch leaves, but they soon contract
mud fever, and. as they are insufficient
ly fed and not sheltered at all. they soon
become worthless. Not so many are lost
Cn the trail as is supposed. They really
die from lack of care. Horses are a
good deal better on the Skaguay trail
than burros. although the best thing
of all would be an OK. which is very
good for muddy travelling and can carry
a big lead. The burros taken up are
almost a failure. They are good over
the rocks. but no good al all in the
swamp. which forms about two-thirds
of the distance.
Richard reports the packers have lost
hiOAea OH dccounN OF me mortality
among the horses. They would start
cut with 20 and return with Il. The
most trying place below the summit has
been ffttingly named Dead Horse gulch.
Instead of one short. steep hill. as at
the. Chilkat. there are five long hills.
and Rickard thinks it is harder than The
Chilkat itself
Hundreds of disappointed men at
Skaguay in September were making
herculean efforts 10 reach the timber
that lies beyond the summit with their
goods, there TO spend the winter and
get very early start down the river
in the spring. They must make haste.
for snow had already fallen on the sum.
NIT. and they must make their camp
and build their log huts before snow
flies, otherwise they cannot procure the
moss with which to wedge the chinks Of
their houses.
II takes a strong back and a weak
mind to become a successful packer.
Rickard says. He also saws that. though
quiet and orderly. the Skaguay country
is the meanest in the world. II rains
there all the time except when it stops
long enough to snow.-Mabel c. Craft

Growth of ENnInrnfion

The u1termost parts of the earth have
never been so sought out as at present.
and the antarctic is now attracting at
tention as well as the arctic \ Belgian
expedition sailed few months ago for
the antarctic region, and the Roval
Geographical society, London, has de-
termined to take upon itself the respor-
sibiliiy Of organizing private expedi-
ton TO the same, though the expecta-
tion is that government aid will COR
tribute TO the success of the important
undertaking. Al that is claimed to I've
known of the antarctic at the present
time is that no approach to the south
pole nearer than 72O miles has ever been
recorded; icy barriers exist which
eclipse those of the north pole. am!
mountains have been discovered Of
lofty attitudes, some of these being vol
canoes. Further, the surface is covered
with snow at all times of the year; 70
