Now about this trail: So far it is no worse than any other mountain trail in any other country I was ever in, and not to be compared with the trail that ran from Independence to Aspen, Oolorado, along the Roving Fork, nor many others that I could mention. I will guarantee that the road from Dyea to Lake Linderman is no worse and no harder to get over than the road from Camptonville to Sierra City, if you will take a trail for it instead of a wagon road, and justas good a road can be made over it as that one there. We stopped at the only hotel in Sheep Camp. It has one table seating 18 people, and was filled twice. The table was set with tin plates, steel knives and forks and tin cups. Three tallow candles furnished the «light. They required us to pay 50 cents each for our meals and to’ put the money on our plates before they ‘served us. (How I . wish I had followed this good business policy in days gone by.) The landlord said bis reasons for collecting in advance was that if we saw what he was going to feed us we wouldn’t pay him. But, nevertheless, the meat was good enough for me and the usual -way of “serving in any new Gountry was followed. Of course -I.-can.-understand that this trail and these accommodations will appear to mapy people as hardships that can be hardly endured, but it is nothing out of the. usual line of new mining country experiences which have been reported a thousand times before; The landlord charged us 25 cents each for spreading our blanke's on. the floor. That was all right. If {bad his place I would charge all the tariff would stand. In the morning I asked his wife where I could wash. She said right out there in the creek. After trying it Icould see the philosophy of it and how foolish to have wash basins. You can wade out into the creek t® convenient depth and not have to bend over very much. I chatted with the packers who are going over the trail every day to Lake Li :deriman, fifteen miles distant, and boats are going down the river every day. Aparty of eight leave there te morrow and offered to take me with them to Dawson City for $100. But I had my things all at Juneau and had only come over to see what sort of a country it was. SoI could not go with them. The trip can be made, but shall not try it yet for about six weeks. Leaving here at 8:15 o’clock next morning Iarrived at Sheep Camp at 10 o’clock. Mr. Smith remained at Sheep Camp to put up his building so I left my blankets and overcoat there with him. I arrived at F nnegan’s Camp at about noon and loitered by the way at least one-half an hour looking at the ‘salmon which I neversaw so thick in any country, { had on high rubber boots and waded the’ river, I presume, some fifteen or twenty times. I met the team that Mr. McKinney sent out for us at Finnegan’s Camp and reached Dyea about two or three o’clock in the afternoon. I do not consider it a hard trip, for any mountaineer. I walked along quite a way with a gentleman who was on his way back to Skagua. He had packed one hundred pounds from Dyea to Linderman and was out four days making the round trip. Hse got $50 for it or $12 50 per day. The only thing bothering the packers is tha quantity of stuff going in is too small and they want better prices. In reference to so many horses dying, I saw them working over the trail througb the mud all day long, through a drizzling rain and snow aad,fat Sheep Ranch that night after dark. Saw them tied ap to a sapling, a little hay thrown on the ground and some grain in a loose way. ihey could not lie down unless on little sapling stumps on uneven ground covered with stones. I saw these same horses standing there. Two inches of snow had fallen and it was still storming. Ask any stage driver from Nevada City to the up country towns how long this stock would live right in Nevada county treated like that. Isaw other horses well cared for in stables. and blanketed. ‘They looked the same as in Henry Lane’s} stable, and were doing their work well. . L aving Dyea at about 3 o’clock for S‘agua I was careless in not minding what I was doiug and paid the penalty forit. I. had been snowing all day and the wind w:s blowing bard. I should not baye ventured to make the ar.p, but nevertheless I started. There were nine of us in a small row beat the owner of which proved to be half full of poor whisky. We battled along for some time with wind and snow, people calling from the shore and telling us that wecould not make it ;.but. still the fellow persisted. The passengers tried to have him take us back. He would not even after the boat had sprung a leak and was half full of water ‘and the waves breaking over the boat every few minutes. After being out about one and one-half hoursand some of the passengers had pulled off their every moment to be sunk, one of the passengers drew an ax and threatened to brain the boatman if he did not set us ashore. So we landed upon the rocks and staid there all night in the storm wet through. We managed to get a good fire going and aside from being drenched to the skin we did not suffer. We gota boat for Skagua the next morning where we arrived safe and sound and none the worse for wear. Taking everything into consideration, I don’t see as this country is so very different than any other country, or that the hardships are any greater than in any other country. Some people expect too much, and the things that are everyday occurrences here they are not used to, and to them are hardships. There are many of this kind of people here that ought never have come. But speaking for myself, I am satisfied with the country and believe init. Ihave met many things much better than I expected, and shall surely go through to the Klondyke country in February or perhaps sooner. Yours truly, J. A. NortTHway. THE BENERICENT. The Novel Enjoyable Entertainment Given Last Evening. A success in every respect was the meeting of the Beneficent Society, which was given at the home of Mr. and ae W.-A. Dennis last evening. A large an happy crowd filled the spacious parlors which were brilliantly illuminated and charmingly adorned with the rarest flowers. There was not much time for any other program than that of reading the beautiful and fun-awakening contributions that accompanied the dollar gifts. Miss Martha Sims was the appointed reader. Mrs. J. 8. Dunn, who was the mover of the enterprise, was more than proud of the talent displayed in the several compositions. Laughter filled the house and inflated the sides of everybody. The supper was everything that could be desired by epicurean taste. Mrs. Dennis, who is now president of the society, by her courteous deportment won the hearts of everbody. The society will clear from the proceeds of the evening the amount ofsixty dollars.

Buried Beneath a Mass of Rock at the Utica, San ANDREAS, Nov. 4.—A terrible acBARTHQUAKES SHAKE B MONTANA. Buildings na and People Fall Out of Bed. Hetena, Mont., November 4.—At 2:40} cident occurred yesterday at the ‘Stickle shaft of the Utica mining company, Angel’s Camp. Joe Polar was crushed beneath several tons of rock and killed, the accident occurring in the chute between the 600 and 700 levels. Large quantities of rock are regularly dumped into this chute and taken out below, and when it clogs it is shaken up by blasts of giant powder. Several blasts were put in yesterday. Polar, a miner named Florence and three other men were dragging timbers over the mouth of the chute, when the rock below them began to sink rapidly carrying down the first two’ for a distance of forty feet. Florence was caught by it only to the knees, but Polar was nearly covered. The latter apparently realized he was doomed, for he told his comrade to say goodbye to his friends and a minute later was dead. A rope was lowered to Florence who was hoisted out. The mass of rock was then looseied at the lower end and Polar’s body soon came down. His body was mangled and his ‘skull was fractured. BRIEF MENTION.

San Dimao, Cal., Nov. 4th—aA special from Hermasillo, Mex., tells of another tragedy on the ill-favored Tiburon Issate in the Gulf of California. The savages inhabiting this island are among the fiercest and most untameable in America. They resent any attempt of white men to land on their shores, and have many bloody murders on their list. Several times expeditions have been projected to punish them, but as yet nothing has been done. They have the reputation of being cannibals. The latest. tragedy on the islands is the murder of Captain Porter and a sailor named Johnson. . They landed ou the island on October 27th for the purpose of collecting shells and rare birds for a curio company. The two white men, who were fully armed, fought desperately for life, and fired twelve shots before they were overcome by the savages. What became of theirremains is not known, and can be only surmised. A Neglectfal Doctor. San Francisco, Nov. 4.—The trial of the $10,000 damage suit of Mrs. Margaret A. Lathrop against Dr. P. H.

Fitzsimmons has continued to occupy the entire property and shown a disinclination to turn it overto the Marysville man to whom Kuhlman assigned it.

Joe Polar was crushed beneath several tons of rock and killed, the accident occurring in the chute between the 600 and 700 levels. Large quantities of rock are regularly dumped into this chute and taken out below, and when it clogs it is shaken up by blasts of giant powder. Several blasts were put in yesterday. Polar, a miner named Florence and three other men were dragging timbers over the mouth of the chute, when the rock below them began to sink rapidly carrying down the first two’ for a distance of forty feet. Florence was caught by it only to the knees, but Polar was nearly covered.

The mass of rock was then looseied at the lower end and Polar’s body soon came down. His body was mangled and his ‘skull was fractured. BRIEF MENTION.

San Dimao, Cal., Nov. 4th—aA special from Hermasillo, Mex., tells of another tragedy on the ill-favored Tiburon Issate in the Gulf of California. The savages inhabiting this island are among the fiercest and most untameable in America. They resent any attempt of white men to land on their shores, and have many bloody murders on their list. Several times expeditions have been projected to punish them, but as yet nothing has been done. They have the reputation of being cannibals. The latest. tragedy on the islands is the murder of Captain Porter and a sailor named Johnson. . They landed ou the island on October 27th for the purpose of collecting shells and rare birds for a curio company. The two white men, who were fully armed, fought desperately for life, and fired twelve shots before they were overcome by the savages.
