Railroad Preparing for Big
 American Yukon Traffic.

tify it, the Railroad Company Will Put on a Through Service Between White Horse and Eagle-- Anxious to Develop Trade.

The management of the White Pass X Yukon railway anticipates large traffic with lower Yukon points next year, and will make all needful preparations to meet the requirements of the trade. The com panv will do all it can to promote the de- velopment, and will put on a through bonded carrier service between White Horse and Eagle, if the traffic will in any way warrant such action.
 An official in authority connected with the railroad said yesterday;
 "The White Pass X Yukon stands ready to meet any emergency that may arise. We are expecting tig trade with the points on the American side during the next and succeeding seasons, and we will be in position to handle the business.
 The reports from the American side are all favorable, It is generally understood that there will be a considerable movement into that country, and that more of the claims will be worked than formerly. And let me say the railroad company stands ready to do all that can be done to build up that country and to assist in fos- terng American trade.
 This development of American terri> tory is very gratifying. 1t makes one feel good to know that there is favorable prospect of good camp in that part of the country.
 "The railroad company will do all money and energy can do to give good service between Skagway and the Amer. ican Yukon. If te trade comes anywhere near justifylng it, rapid and safe through line of bonded carriers will be put on the river. We are especially ready to help Skagwav merchants to develop trade. In so doing we are helping ourselves. We are in the transportation business and when we can help those having freight to trans port to make money, we are helping our own interests.
 ''Besides the lower Yukon, which is a big country capable Of wonderful develop ment, there will be great increase in trade up Stewart river next year The Klondike Corporation operated one of its steamers on that river this year, and there will be more next. The smaller steamers are going to be crowded off from the regu- lar White House Dawson route, and they will necessarily have to find other places to operate. This will mean the opening up of the country and the development of trade.

 These properties are the famous Ana conda, the White Horse and the Rabbit Foo9. The Anaeonda is four and half miles from White Horse City, and the other two claims are adjoining and direct lv north of it. MT.

GOOD GOLD PROSPECTS
Prospeotors Are Bound for Seattle With Samples of Quartz Country Tributary to Headwaters of the Big Salmon Abounds it Game,

George w. TerwiIligers and c. A. Will son of Seattle, have returned to Skagwav trom an eventful prospecting trip into the country trl utarV to the headwaterS of the Big Salmon and the NiSutlin river. They were in the country six weeks. Seven days of the time they were without food except caribou meat They report favora- ble gold bearing quartz prospects and q country terming with game.
 "We left Skagway Jnlv 20," said Mr.. Tewiliger, "and went up the McClintocf river, crossed oyer t) the lake from which the Big Salmon flows, and thence across to the Nscuttin river which flows into Lake Teslin.
 We do not know vet what we found but have samples of gold bearing quartz which we will take to Seattle.
 We ran out of provisions on the Mis- cutlin river and had to eat caribou meat straight until we arrived at Dog Island where we filled up. We cut across to the HootaIinqua and hoated down that river on raft. Had it not been for the abund ance of game we certainly would have starved, but the country abounds in Cari> bou. moose, grouse and ptarmgan. The country is actually cut up with well worn moose and caribou trails. We saw thou sands of caribou and had only to kill one when we wanted meat"

900 American tourists and inyalids.
Why?
While the Alps have isolated peaks
such as Mont Blanc (15,7S1 feet), and
the Matterhorn (14,S36 feet), the mean
elevation of the highest Alpine chain
is from only 5000 to 5000 feet. Colo
RADIO possesses more than 100 peaks
over 1880 feet in altitude, Of which
! no fewer than thirty-f1ve peaks range
from $4,000 feet upward. In the whole
of Europe, there are not over twelve
mountain peaks of note.
The highest village in Europe is

the highest inhabited point in Europe
Is the Hospice of St. Bernard in
Switzerland $500 feet). In Colorado
the mining town of Leadville, with
$1,000 inhabitants, is 10000 feet above
sea level; other mining camps are still
higher and some gold and silver mines
are worked at an altitude of over 12,-
900 feet.
The highest wagon road in Europe
is said to be the Stelvio Road in
Switzerland (9,170 feeD. In Colorado
the railroads cross the crest of the
continent at Fremont Pass (l1,32S
feet), Marshall Pass 10,S52 feet) and
Tennessee Pass qO,433). Switzerland
does not possess, even in the famous
st. Gothard line, any railroad en-
cheering surprising, if equaling, these.
There are wagon roads over numerous
passes in Colorado ranging from 49,,
600 feet upwards, the highest being
Mosquito Pass Q3.7OO feet.
In Switzerland the cog-railroad from
Vitznau to the summit of the Rigi
Kuhn $500 feeD has length of four
and half miles, in which the ascent
is 4,072 feet In Colorado the cog-rail-
road from Manitou to the summit of
Pixies Peak Q4,147 feet) has length
of eight and three-quarter miles, in
which the ascent is $500 feet, or an
average Of SAG feet per mile, the maxi
