TRAIL IS IN VERY
 BAD CoNNiTt0M

Passengers from Cofdova huthbound on the Alameda u is morning tell of the con- d;lion of things on the trail be tween Mccarthy and Sushanna. They paint it in a rather de- p!orable condition. One man especially, who lost his horsa and outfit trying to cross the ChltystOne rivtr and is returl,- ing south stated that the trail k one big bog hole all the woN sad getting worse. He say. that it took him ten hours to walk less than fifteen miles OH his return trip, travelling abso- lutely without a load, and down grade at that. The mud he says is waist deep in places an,i absolutely no way of avoiding Iit. He advised waiting a while before attempting to get in so that the trail may harden. There are enough men now in the country or on the trail go- , ing in to stake every acre of ground in tbe whole Sushanna and adjoining creeks water shed. Ferries are being es- tahlished at several of the bad crossings, but these relieve the situation at those particular points only. The streams are all glacerial and bowling tor rents at times absolutely i'm passable and the country for
 rifles Is nothing more nor legs
 than bog in which the pack
 horses sink to tlIeir bellies and
 have to be hauled out. Excep! for the ascent of the Scola
 pass, whlch is bound to be bat
 at all times, the time to &
 oyer the trail is in the
 when the whole thing will bf
