Several parties reached Wrangel last
week from the interior after spending
from IL to 20 months on the trail in the
vain endeavor to reach the land Of
wealth. They say that not less than
200 prospective miners have lost their
lives by drowning, starvation, exposure
and freezing during the last winter.
Most Of these were Americans from the
eastern states. Scurvy is now raging
among the miners who are helpless on
the trail. Before relief can reach them

The Huteson Barge company and the
northwest mounted police have started
small relief expeditions from Telegraph
creek. Government action on a large
scale will alone rescue those that are
unable to get out of the country by
their own resources. 1t is extremely
difficult to secure names, although the
miners tell of many accidents that cost
the lives of parties of five or ten.-
