Marker camp, marked degree, 1 min
ute and second, but were lost in the
mountains in a box canyon or blind
pass, marked B. C. A heavy snow was
falling at the time and it was getting
dark. We could hardly see dozen
feet ahead. but after a hard struggle
we reached or found the pass at dark,
and succeeded in getting down to tim
Der somehow, and sat up all night be-

You can see by this that it will be
better means of transportation are pro-
vlded and better pass found.
The soldiers, under Lieut.. Abercrom-
bic, are working to locate pass from
Valdes, and from late advices one will
be found; it is claimed it has been al
ready, and that it is easier than Valdes
Pass. This will mean a return to the
States for provisions and dogs, burros
or horses to transport supplies, etc.
This is my reason for saying that little
work can be done as the situation now
is.
In writing names of claims on sketch
have reversed them. Marker is Little
Alfred, and mo Name is Little George
claim. My partner and / also hold one
claim between us on Fall Creek, which
is not shown on map, it being across
the divide from Quartz, and emptying
into the Teakell river We know little
about it, but the spring will show the
Teakell and branches to the front The
pass is so dangerous that the exploring
parE would not stay on Teakell side
for fear snow storm would block the
way and they were short of provisions.

sible.
The country we are prospecting has
a number of old trails, opposed to be
Russian relics, and it is thought posi-
BILE by some that the discoveries made
so far were part of the country ex-
plored by them years ago.

Scaretown at the head Of Rapids, where
there are 100 or more camps. Hawkins
is here, but has been away a day or two
down the river. A man had gotten a
bear into his den and could not get
him out, so came while l was away to
get our "Huskies" Ondian Smash Dogs

the only native dogs here. The dogs

Our cabin is double one; two fami-
lies, partitioned in the center; each
half is 10x12 feet. We have plenty
of wood and will not suffer; in fact,
it is too warm for comfort.
Two gentlemen-Mr. Holmes and Mr..
Frain, of Jackson. Mich, occupy the
other half.
I think this is all in the way Of news
I have, so I'll close and trust you will

The secretary Of the Connecticut
board Of agriculture has just issued a
report on the subject of abandoned
farms in that state. This is the second
report on the same subject, the former
having been issued seven years ago.
The secretary says that later experience
shows that there are very few aban-
doned farms in Connecticut, and a
great many farms once abandoned have
Of late years been restored to cultiva-
tion. The secretary, however, admits
that there are many farms in the state
that are for sale at very low prices
some of them ranging from SIS to IS an
acre, including farm buildings He
calls attention to the change in the in
dustrial conditions in the farm towns
Of the state during the past so years,
especially the great decline Of sheep
raising and cheesemaking 'and the ex-
tinction Of small factories, particularly
tanneries, in the rural regions. This
condition is due to various causes. one
of the most potent being the general
tendency of the time toward the CEN
tralization of population in the large
cities, and another is the prevalence of
industrial combinations which place at
a disadvantage the small factories
