There we're over four hundred pas
sengers on board and all day the decks
were iull Of people admiring the beauti-
ful scenery. In the evening they sang.
played and told stories in the "Socal
Hail." except when the boat rocked, and
then no one was able to sing or play or
even look at the scenery. We travelled
about 900 miles on water and we were
all glad when we reached Skagway
Skagway is very pretty little city, full
Ct life and rustic" 1t is situated In q
long canyon between mountains that are
about 900 feet above sea level and right
straight up, aud on the top OF one OF
them lie large lake of pure cold water
that forms q natural reservoir for the
city water works, which are heing rapid
ly constructed. The city is four miles
long and mile wide Its population is
about 5000 and although there is four
wharfs, the steamers are coming 10 80
fast that they have to wait for their turn
to be unloaded and they always have as
many passengers as they can carry.
There are new business houses going up
every day and moet OF them are large
and handsome. Very near all Of the
dwelling houses are made Of logs, the
aversge sise is l2xl4 Tho roofs are
just boards laid on and tar. paper laid on
over them. They are very warm and
cesy The city Is very nicely lighted with
electric lights.
Almost every line Of business is repre-
sented here and they oil seem to be do
ing well. A new wagon road has been
made from here to the summit OF White
Pass, and they ship freight up there in
wagang. Two korseB can, at one load,
pull ton OF freight clear to the sum nit,
which ia IS miles from here.
1t has been very cold, but II is Just
like spring now. and thsro Ia no snow

mountains, but the mud is very deep
since the thaw has commenced. Pack
trains are leaving here daily for Lake
Bennett. They have about Is or 90
mules or ponies in train. Dogs and
aleigbs were used when the snow was
on. Thsy made the trip to Lake Ben
nett and back in four days, very easily.
