 Parties lately out from Dawson over the winter trail say that the steamer EIdorado which was caught in the ice at the mouth of Helrs Gate, lies in very dangerous position and will most likely be lost when the river breaks up.

 The Skagway News says that party of Skagwayans who recently returned from hunting trip to Wrangel mar rows are almost as enthusiastic over the timber of that section as they were over the game they were after. The Alaska cedar grows there along with the spruce. Some of the cedars are three feet in diameter and straight as masts, with from 30 to 50 feet of clear timber to the limbs. One of the party counted nineteen big trees in a radius of one hundred yards, every one of which appeared as sound as an oak. Alaska or Port Orford cedar is white, hard wood and is valuable for finishing lumber.
