SECOND AND BROADWAY SKAGWAY, ALASKA
MEMBER OF THE YUKON
COUNCIL PASSES THROUGH
ENROUTE TO CHISANA
(Continued from Page 1.)
although Dr. Williams is of the
same name as myself we are iu no
wise related, but he is an old friend
of mine, who has been a long time
in the north, and is thoroughly re
liable so far as my knowledge of '
him goes.
"Dr. Williams came out over the
McCarthy trail in company with
seventeen other men. The first
thing they struck after leaving the
roadhouse at that point was a 47
mile glacier which there is 110 way
of evading, and in going over which
a man simply takes his life in his
own hands. The trail over this
glacier is unmarked, and crevases
of uiftnc-wn depths have frequently
to be crossed. One of the party of
which Dr. Williams was a member,
went thiough the crust of snow cov
ering one of these dangerous places
and had it not been that lie had on
a pair ot snow shoes which caught
on the ice walls on the side and
stopped his descent he would have
fallen to an unknown depth and
iu all ltklihood have lost his life.
After this experience the men roped
themselves together, and had no
further mishaps from this cause, al
though they had to pass over an ex
tremely dangerous section of the
glacier, at one place, which is about
two miles across and is known to all
the travelers over it as "Hell's
Half Acre".
"VVHen JJr. Williams reacueu i;ur
dova he was in exceedingly bad
shape from the rigorous weather
they had encountered and as a re
sult of the hardships through which
they were compelled to pass in or
der to reach their destination. Dr.
Williams' chest was badly frosted
and since reaching Seattle he has
lost all of his toe nails from the
same cause"'.
Continuing, Mr. Williams said:
I made inquiries of Dr. Williams as
to the reports that were being cir
culated in Seattle as to the cost of
transporting freight from McCarthy
into the diggings, and told him that
I had been informed that freighters
were charging 15 cents per pound.
His first reply to the question
was luridly emphatic and one
which I do not care to repeat
for publication. After his temper
had somewhat cooled down he said
there was no truth in the report
whatever. That while he was
in McCarthy the host rate that was
offered was $1.00 per pound, and
It was his belief that conditions in
this respect had not improved since
he was there. Oscar Breedman, a
McCarthy freighter, was responsible
for the story of a good trail and
cheap rates, but the fact of the mat
ter is that owing to the bad shape
in which the trail really was he
had never been able to haul enough
over it to make money ta even $1
per pound.
"The mail service also is poor, and
there were dozens of small sacks
lying at McCarthy when Dr. Wil
liams was there which will remain
a long while before going for
ward, as the carriers only received
§50 per round trip which was not
enough to pay them for their
trouble.
It was Mr. Williams' opinion
(hat the Skagway, Whiteliorse, Klu
.iiie route will eventually become th
favorite one in winter and that dur
ing the season of navigation on the
rivers pe pie will prefer to take
the water route down the river from
Whitehorse to the mouth of the
White and up that stream to the
Snag river from which point it
would only be a matter of a few
miles overland to reach t$ie diggings
Mr. Willlems said that as the
James discovery was reported after
the last meeting of the Yukon coun
cil no steps could be taken until the
next session, which will take place
in March, in regard to appropri
ation for trails, but as it had al
ways been the policy of the govern
ment to afford every assistance in it
power to the miner and prospector
he felt assured that the matter
would e taken up and funds fur
nished for any road work which it
would be found necessary tc do."
In speaking of affairs in the Yu
kon territory Mr. Williams sad that
the present Commissioner, Mr. Black
has proven himself the best and
most popular official that has ever
filled the office. "He is thorough
I in sympathy with the miner and
prospector," said Mr Williams, "and
is always ready to listen to their
petitions and requests for roads and
trails and the first to advocate ap
propriations for their construction
when1- convinced of the necessity for
tnem."
