This machinery was purchased In

over the Great Northern, When he
arrived In Tacoma there was no boat
that could carry bonded goods, but
the Great Northern Railroad COM
pany came Co the rescue and sent a
convoy along with the goods on the
steamer Resale, This machinery
will be taken over the white Pass
railroad to tho summit. and then
taken down TO the lower end Of
Lake LaRarge on sleds. The Idea
OF taking Il to LaBarre lake Is to
catch the first boats to Dawson and
thus save three weeks time. Mr.
Ferguson states that the lakes viii

the freight was packed so IL could
