THE PROPOSED
 TRAIL FROM STEWART, B. c.
(Portland Canal News

Tom Mclean, who with Tim Wil- Hams and Alex Me1nnes left Stewart Sept 26 to reconnoiter a trail route rom here to the Telegraph trail, the construction of which would make Stewart the winter outlet for the Telegraph Creek and Dease Lake districts, instead of the present cir euitous route via Atlin, returned this week.
 They report that they reached the Telegraph trail between the 9th and 10th cabins, and surveyed a trail back from that point. No diff ficulaies were encountered, it being very easy counry trough which to put a trail The greatest difficult ty would be experienced getting over the Bear river summit. The present route would be followed to the mouth of Hanna river. on Mezi- adin lake.
 About 50 miles of new trail would be required from Hanna river, crossing in the still water at the outlet of Bowser lake, where a ca noe ferry could be provided, thence over to the Bell Irving river and up its east bank to the Telegraph trail.
 This entire route would be in a nice timbered country, with little work necessary, other than cutting brush The total distance from Ste- wart to the Telegraph trail is in the neighborhood 100 miles.
