The White Pass fleet is picking out it's several com fortable hooks and corners on the river for winter quarters. The Whitehorse It will be noted in the report Of the river fleet, Is today "wind bound" on lower Lebarge, which means that it is blowing some. The company has se- lected Thursday the Sth inst, as the day on which that boat is to sail from Whitehorse which will make the last round trip to Dawson this year. The weather regulates thrSe matters of course and it is upon the behaviour of the weather that this date is based. It may be a day or so later or it may be shortened up day or so. General Agent Wurzbacher states that there is no accumulation of freight here at this time and that the docks may be cleared so to speak, for the closing Of the season ut the time stated.
