SNOW GOING IN
YUKON COUNTRY
Dawson, May 4.—Drivers on the
White Pass stages report that the snow
I is melting rapidly all along the trail,
and that in order to find the host sled
ding they travel as much as possible
after sunset, when the crust of frost
! forma, and early in the morning, be
fore the sun softens things. At some
| places the thaws have started rocks
rolling and making the usual spring
i slides from sides of cuts, so Supt. Lusk
is going out on the trail immediately
to see to the keeping of the track
clear until after the staging season is
over.
The heaviest stretch of trail on the
entire distance between Dawson and
Whitehorse reported by the drivers is
that from Grand Forks to Dawson,
fourteen miles, where the thaw is well
advanced. Wheels may be used there
any time now. The Concord stages
will be used as soon as the sleighs are
shelved.
