THE 8COLAI PASS ROUTE
. OPENS EXTENSIVE COUNTRY
( Continued from page 1)
via the Chettystone. Harry Fag
erberg accompanied Ihem with a
Kinall crew of men and built a
pack trail around Chettystone
falls, a few miles above the gla
cier, thus removing the worst ob
stacles on the trail.
The object of Taylor and Mc
Lellan's trip was to look up the
best route with a view of getting
supplies into the White river
country more reasonable than at
present, and they are anxious to
enlist the people on this side to
help them out in securing an ap
propriation for the construction
of a double-endcr sleigh route
iiul the establishment of a mail
fMivery from the railway termi
nal to the new town of Wiley, on
the river near the foot of Rus
sell glacier, a postofTico already
having been granted there.
The conditions in the While
river district at present, as out
lined to your correspondent by
Taylor and McLellan, are in sub
claim' as follows:
Tin* While river empties in
lo 1 lit* Yukon 82 mill's above
Dawson, ami 111«» distance above
I be inoulb of Ibe While river If)
Canyon <'iIy is 105 miles. The

ill 111;iI way cost .'12 eenls per
pound lor freight. Freight by
polling boals up llie river (a 28
day 1rip' is 00 Vents per pound.
There are about 25 prospect -
(it's in J be district, all of whom
have claims, some of lliem being
very promising. This does nol
include Iho large operators. Rob
,ert Wiley, who represents New
j York capital, has nineteen claims
jpalenled. Mr. Knowles, repre
senting the X. A. 'J'. & T. Co., has
'twelve claims patented. These are
on Iho. American side, while on
Ibe Canadian side the largest
out lit is controlled by Mr. Mor
gan. These properties are said
•lo he very valuable. Although the
jehief product of llie district is
copper, there have been several
gold bearing quart/, claims locat
ed with excellent showings,
j A strong effort has been made
lo promote, and it is expected Die
1 Canadian government will build a
I wagon road lo Canyon Cily. While

ilrid is looking for relief Tit lhi<
