Chisna. May 4.—\V»* are having
Jne weather, only a little too suit
4o suit the hoys. Most of the lmul
Mig has to lie dime at night when
there is a good crust. The trail is
very poor, and the river is Ixvak
ing up in many places.
A number of the Imvs are going
Up theChistuchina to Slate; among
them Kramer, Skinner, Austin,
Coh>s, Merrill, Simpson. Finical
and others. Those that arrived
later are breaking trail up Chisna.
By the way, Jack Miller's horse
died on the way in; you can under
stand Jack’s sentiments, when he
remarked to a party, who was con
doling with him on his loss, “Why,
man nlive if thedommed horse had
lived we never would liave gotten
here.”
The lioys nrc busy getting out
wood for the season. The sawmill
is in o|>eration, and one has only
to close his eyes around noon,when
the whistle blows, to imagine him
self luich Lu good, old Valdez.

Dempsey lias had a new roof put
on ids cabin on Chistuchinn, and
welcomes any jroary traveler to
share its comforts. He was un
lortunate in having the cabin brok

even what lie lmd carefully liidden
tinder the floor was taken. If one
offender could Ik* caught .and .ail ex

J noticed at Jliudett juid Meal’s
cabin that someone, not satisfied to
enjoy the shelter and cownieuce of
cabin ami stove, liad torn uji the
greater jolt of tJte floor to burn—
and good wood within a stone’s]
throw.
Most of the tents are down at'
Slate creek from tin* weight of snow.
Kneli tent has been visited, presum-1
ably by lahalia UlUsiiers, who
came in light. There was a prettv
good trail to the tents—the snow I
I.ad I>ccn shoveled from the doors.1
W hat has been taken is not known 1
as only one party lias reported
loss so far. I
M e were fortunate in having
plenty of fresh meat on the trip
