there will be, much stealing go
ing on. Those who discovered the
diggings and those who llrst fol
lowed have blanketed the whole
country by old powers of attor
ney, which w'ere not recorded in
this division, and there Will be
much claim jumping going oil
and likely some blood shed. At
the rate I he crowd is going in at
present it will not be long before
, I here is between two and three
thousand people in the camp.
The present trail over the Scol
ai pass will not be practical as
a wilder trail, the pass being im
passable as soon as the snow be
gins to fall. The winter trail will
be by way of Gulkana and up the
Copper river to Susloto creek,
(hence to the Nabcsna and over to
the Chisna, or Shnslianna, as it
is being called. By this route
there are no climbs, no glaciers
and good timber along the entire
route. Quite a number of parties
are going in that way at the pres
ent time. Oldtimers say a horse
can pull from 1,800 pounds to
a Ion on a doulde-ender, while
jfn Hu- trail from McCarthy a
pack horse is doing well to car
ry 200 pounds, and is in con
stant danger in crossing the rap
id mountain streams.
To my mind I lie future of the
camp is assured and should oc
cupy your immediate attention.
Today a train pulled through
here with 200 stampoders for the
Cliisna and tomorrow there will
he another hundred on the regu
lar train. Croat crowds are said
In he going in from Dawson and
Fairbanks by way of the Tanana.
iW'lilh kidesl, regards to your
self and the hoys in the office,

J. L. BROWN,
Office Deputy.
Letter From Hazelet.
In a letter to S. Blum from
Ceorge Hazelet, the Cordova man
now on the scene of lIn* report
ed strike with his two sons, In
states that Janies, the original
discoverer, working two men,
took out *8,1100 in Iti days, but
was unable to secure help, hut
that now that men were reaching
the camp, he would he aide to.se
cure all kinds of help and would
make a good cleanup.
The claim now being worked
by James and from which he took
out the *8.000 is not discovery
claim, as he has leased that to
Kenshaw. a Dawson operator,
who is opening the ground.
Mr; .Hazelet. however, cautions
against the booming of the coun
try, as the work so far done does
not .justify the present stampede,
especially by inexperienced men,
who must rough it. He strongly
advists against men rushing in
to the country without supplies
enough to remain several weeks,
and better still several months.
