MEN TAKE BIG RISK
Prospectors Going to Interior With
Insufficient Snpplies.
A man just down from the inlet says
that many men have gone from there
un to the Yentna strike with insuffici
ent supplies of provisions. It is known
that several have gone from Seward
illy supplied. This is said by those ac
quainted with the situation to he al
most tantamount to suicide. The man
mentioned said today:
“I am satisfied that the \entna
*trike is a good one and that the dis
trict is likely to prove a great camp,
but men ought to understand the win
ter hardships of a new camp. The
risks are always greater titan in an
old camp where there is plenty of grub
and a man can always live. In a new
camp even the fore-sighted ones only (
take enough for themselves because of
the difficulty of packing.
**lf the Yentna camp is an extensive
one, as all accounts indicate, there will
be plenty of opportunity for prospect
ors in there next spring. The time go
will be just before me break-up in tin*
