II Is estimated that the distance
from New York to Buenos Ayres Is
nearly II 00o miles or this over g..
900 miles remains TO be constructed
OF the 5000 miles TO be constructed
much OF II will have to be built over
the highest mountains in the world,

maintain that II can be done
II is estimated that when the road Is
finished II will take over two weeks

4 BLOCKADE:
Moving of Freight Prac'
 tically Stopped.

The continuous storms for a week or more past have practically suspend ed travelling in all directions. Freight ing between Nome and Council is at a standstill. The heavy fall of snow and a steady wind have piled the snow into hills of a moderate size.
 The weather, has been mild, the thermometers, for the most part, being above the freezing point, and the teams on the trail therefore can Cnly founder through the deep accumulations oi snow.
 Thursday morning A. H. Moore, the well known freighter, started for Council with several loads of freight and ten horses. w. E. Goodrich of the N. A. T. & T Co. accompanied him, but they got only short distance be- low Fort Davis when it was decided that it would be the better part of wis dom to turn back. Two other teams pushed on but only got as far as Hast ings creek, and yesterday Mr. Moore telephoned to the drivers to store the freight and return to Nome. Some

DAWSON
 MARKETS Game Supply is Still
 Small. PRICE STAYS. HlGN
Caribou Plentiful; But Hunters Will Only Sell at Stiff Fig.
 ure--BuSinesS Quiet.

Dawson, Dec. l2.--The amount of game coming into the Dawson market is not large enough to affect the price of neat. Game in the hide is bringing 9 cents a pound wholesale. Moose steaks retail at from 90 to 6o cents a pound. These are about the same prices brought by beef.
 For some reason only a little game is coming into the city. Caribou are plentiful, but the hunters are getting wise as far as their own interests are concerned. This can last but Il short time, however, as quite large number of hunters are out and the supply of game is bound to be larger later on.
 IL is reported around the streets that an effort to advance meats another notch has failed, largely because of the fear, it is said, hatcomsumption would fall off,
 Business generally is still quiet, but ne worse than it always is at this time of the year. Practically all the busi- ness in the local market is transacted between l l o'clock in the morning and 4:3O in the afternoon. When people get lIsed to the cold weather and appear on the streets again business will probably pick up some.
 Flour is iobbing at S3.25. with an ad- vance of 50 cents said to be certain. It IS reported to be pretty well in the ha ads of few companies. At $4 a sack it is not as high in proportion as other staple commodities.
 Ham is jobbing at 8 cents pound. Many are inclined to think that it will reach 40 cents before long. Bacon is scarce and that fact will tend to force hamup. This years stock of bacon is jobbing at 40 cents, but some of last years is stated to be offered at p cents Merchants are buying the latter now, as tho difference between the two stocks is not considered very wide.
 Canned meats continue to be good property. Only few importers had the nerve to ship this year on account of the fact that last winter these meats were selling at Seattle and outside prices. That naturally discouraged importers.
 This season has really been the first time Canadian meats were shipped in- to the market. They have proved satis- factory and command equally as high price as most of the American brands. This is especially true of Clark lunch meats.
 Good bntt4r is not ar| too plentiful and is good property. It is apt to go to'60 cents pound. Milk is being held very stiff and may go to $l2. j0 for Rein deer and E.gle. Cream is steady at ss.50. with possible S9.5O market.

Bert Hall arrived from Candle this week, coming by way of Fish river. Candle, he says, is quiet. though con- siderable mining work and prospecting is under way. The people are gener- ally in good health. and are looking forward to a lively summer. A great drawback to mining and prospecting is the lack of fuel. Coal can be had at Chicago creek, some 10 miles away. but the travelling has been so heavy that it has been found impossible to freight much coal from the mine to Candle.
