The Usual Story
 of All Stampedes
 Again Repeated
A Few Disappointed Gold Seekers Hitting the Back Trail; While Others, Composing the Greater Number, are Pressing on for Gold Pan Creek, Determined to See for Themselves-Food Shortage Soon Relieved.
{ By Frank J. Cotter )

On the Trail to Dease Lake, via Telegraph Creek, B. C.. June 1O.- Special to the Alaska Weekly)-A medley of humanity, some going, some returning, is a fit description of the trail between Telegraph Creek, Dease Lake and Gold Pan creek. Those going in largely out number those coming out. The re- turning stampeders form, for the most part, a disappointed lot, and sell their outfits for what they can get for them. Those going in are a determined lot, who propose tc see for themselves, undaunted by adverse reports of the diggings. II is the usual story of all stampedes. repeated over and over again in all camps of the Northland, and else where. for that matter, especially when the yellow metal is the object of quest.
 The Hudson's Bay Company tract or, taking in five tons of supplies from Telegraph Creek to the com pany post at Dease Lake, passed our party, which is made up of Bof Martin, Pat Mcbride and myself Accompanying the tractor party are Harry Townsend and Leeds, mining engineers, who are enroute to the pease Lake section to examine property on McDame's creek, which is believed to be a dredging pro- position.
 The Dickinson Mining Company tractor, with supplies and equip ment for that company's property on Dease creek, should reach the camp by Saturday night MT. Dick inson is with the party.
 Parties coming out from Gold Pan say there is no food there while others assert there is no gold save on Discovery claim. Freight and passengers are moving rapidl, on the Dease Lake trail, and there will soon be food supplies to last until shipments can be made.
