NO WORD OF MAIL
Conditions UnfavOrabIe and Time of Arrival an Uncertain
 Matter.

This is the anxious season of the year for mail and mail carriers.
 Oct II sixteen hundred pounds of mail left Eagle. It was hoped that at least half oi this five hundred and odd miles would be made in small boat. Paul schultz set out from Rampant along the river bank Oct. l9 to meet this mail and bring it the balance of the way in dog sle1s. This is all that is known, and all, probably, that will be known till it reaches Rampant. The extremely mild weather of the past few days indi- cates a troublesome condition in the flats-flooslesl -lough> ni uncertain depth and river ice of uncertain strength.
 All this week the thermometer has marked but slight margin below thaw- ing. with uo sign of change up to this morning.
 John Palm was to leave Panama this morning with uP-bouud mail. It Is be- lievesl he will arrive inside of ipur days.
 The hsst mail arrived trota Panama oct 2: from Eagle 0ft. is.

Party Across the Diyide-.-Work To Be Finished to Baker Creek
 in Three Weeks.
TO RETURN DOWN THE TANANA

Packer William Burke made his last trip to Rampant Monday. He returned to the telegraph construction camp across the divide yesterday morning. The party will complete the work on to Baker Creek and will then return down the Panama to Fort Gibbon.
 Mir. Burke said it was expected to have all the construction work finished by last night. The stretch of land cable crossing the divide has all been replaced by wire strung on well-set iron poles, and the line is now in first class condi- tion as far as Glen.
 The balance of the way there is only repair work to do. This will be com pleted within three weeks
 The systematic and thorough nature of the work has been very generally commented upon.
 Lieutenant Whipple was rendered val uable service by Private Cavanangh, of Rampant station, who is fully acquainted with conditions along the route
 Work is being pushed on the Panama end, which is now completed to within the vicinity of the narrows.

jammed and became stationary front of the Indian village at about s o'clock Sunday morning, Oct. 20. A stretch of open water extends from the mouth of Squaw creek as far down as the big bend mile below town How much further it reaches has not been ascertained, but rising water indicated another stoppage not far away.
 It is very probable there will be more or less open water in front of Rampant till late in the season this winter. It does not usually close entirely there until after the advent of hard frost.
 Indian Lige had the honor of being the first to cross on the ice. He came over within an hour after it ceased moving.
 The Yukon also closed at Panama on Sunday. Up to last night no reports were obtainable from up river.
 The Panama closed at the mouth of Baker creek Oct. 19.

NEW TRAIL OPENED
Indian Hunters Claim the Ray River Springs Can Be Reached Inside
 of Three Days.

Indian Lige reached town Saturday from the upper part of Ray river. He crossed the divide and came down Squaw creek, taking five days on the journey He thinks he averaged not over fifteen miles a day. By this route Lige believes Ray River Hot Springs may be reached inside oi three days of easy travel.
 John Minook is one of the hunting party. They killed three moose in the foothills this side oi the Tosikakit di- vide. The meet will be brought out over the Squaw creek trail, which will leave a wcll-broken sled road between Ram part and the hot springs. This k doubt less the shortest route tu the springs.
