Narrow Escape
Miles Canyon
Charley Baxter, thq well-known
-freighter and big game hunters'
guide, returned Sunday from a tTip
to Kluane Jake, bringing with him
intelligence ol the recent near
drowning of two men In the Can
yon river rapids. \
Early last April Mr. Baxter pack
ed a lot of supplies into tha O'Con
nor river for a man named Fer
guson and four companions who
intended fo prospect that art earn,
and its tributaries for placer gold.
On the way out the gold hun*enj
stopped at .Champagne Leading and
bought a motor boat from "Shorty"
Chambers. After they had) selected
and gotten settled in their perman
ent camp on the OlConnor river
they sent two of the party back to
bring down the launch. Neither
of the man knew; anything about
running a motor boat, but thought
that with the help of the rudder
they could polo the craft without
difficulty, aa the Deasedeash river,
down which they would have to
follow for a greater part ot the
way., is Quite shallow in moat plac
es. The rudder, however, in
stead of proving an assistance came
very near being the cause of their
undoing, as they had a lot of sup
plies on board which made the
boat heavy and unwieldy and when
they came to the Canyon river
rapids they were unable to control
its direction and were carried un
der a "sweepre" (limb of a tree
hanging close above, tha surface of
the water), which swamped the
boat and threw both men into the
(water. One of the m§n w*Uj able
to swim, and seeing the disaster
coming, the instant before its occur- J
renoe, grasped a itoeu rifle which
he very highly prized, and attempt
ed to reach shor<j with it. The cur
rent proved too strong for him,
however, and finding that h«( was la
danger of drowning he let go the
gun and after a hard tussle final
ly reached the bank. The other
man, unable to swim, was sinking
for the last time when his com
panion discovered his serious fillglit
and went to fcla rescue.
The outfit of supplies was a total
loss, but tha boat has since been
raised, and having been found not
seriously damaged ii being used by
its owners.—Whitehoreei Star.

MOSQUITOES BIG AS CANARIES
Captain Chas. Bloomqulst of the
steamer Dawson of the White Pass
fleet, who arrived in the port of
Whitehorse from Dawson Sunday af
ternoon, said that although the
water la the river her<j is lower
than ever before known at this
time of the year, below the mouth
of the Hootallnqua the mighty
stream Is almost overflowing its
banlca and roaring through Five
Fingers in a resistless flood.
He also reported that in coming
up through the Thirty-Mile river
the weather turned warm and sul
try and that the mosquitoes,
big as canary birds and as savage j
and blood-thirsty ay Apache In
dians of the old regime in Arizona,
would sit on the limbs of the
trees lining the banks of the stream
and as soon ay the boat hove in
sight descend oa it In swarms and
simply devour the poor steamboat
men and Bass the nice. Juicy tour
ists up as not worrtthy of their at
tention.

toes; otherwise It is perfectly all
right—Whitehorog star, <
