Below we reproduce aa extract
from au interview with Geo. C. Haz<
let, the Cordova "trail blazer",
which appeared in the Seattle P. I
of December 10th. We do not pub
lish the entire article which appear
ed iu the Seattle oaper for the rea
son that the matter referred :c
tit.tin is only an expression of Mr
Hazeltt's opinion as to the future
prospects of the Chisana gold fields
and therefore has no bearing upon
the subject which wo propose tc
discuss:
".Mr. Hadelet was instrumental in
making the present glacier trail in
to Chisana. He states that freight
outfits are now making the round
trip in ten days. "Judge- Finnegan
lecently made the trip from Chisana
to McCarthy in twenty-four hours,
traveling time" he said. "The judge
was two days on the road, traveling
twelve hours a day. The trail was
established in October of this year.
The glacier strip is now marked by
a road house at every ten miles.
"Freight from McCarthy to Chis
ana now costs 10 cents a pound. By
March next year, when sledding is a
its best, the freight rate will not
exceed 5 cents a pound. The averag<
freight from Seattle to McCarthy is
3% cents, and that will give the dis
trict a very fair freight rate. Horse
teed at McCarthy is now worth 570
a ton. a comparatively low figure.
When i came over the trail on Nov
ember 23 tlie^e were close to 100
people traveling it. There are sev
enty-five horses working over the
trail.
"At Chisana there are 300 cabins
and about ~»00 population."
A Skagway friend yesterday kind
ly drew our attention to the above
interview, which, through the nec
essarily hurried inspection of our ex
changes had been overlooked. Out
dereliction, however, we think is ex
cusable for the reason that the mail
boats for Skagway reach here about
once every week or ten days, and
invariably get into port within a
i few hours of each other with an ac
cumulation of mail matter to which
it is hardly possible to give the at
tention it deserves, fcr notwistand
ing the fact that we only give our
patrons seven or eight columns of
late telegraphic, miscellaneous and
home news every day it takes up thi
most of our time, and it is hardly tc
be wondered at that our faults are
much more apt to be those of omis
sion than of commission.
51r. Hazelet in making the above
statements was probably laboring
under strong mental stress, produce
no doubt by a sight of the gold he
saw while in the Chisana (or was it
after he reached Cordova that he
saw it? and if so, was it minted or
in its natural state?)
When Mr. Hazelet left Chisana,
about the middle of November from
his account, the miners and pros
pectors in the gold camp were being
taxed for the necessaries of life at
the rate of from $1.00 to $2.00 per
pound, at a time when 75 loaded
pack horses were making round
trips every ten days. Allowing 200
pounds to each horse this would
mean that every ten days there were
7Vs tons of supplies being landed
there in addition to the amounts
that individual mushers were taking
in and those from Whitehorse and
Dawson.
And furthermore these goods wer
being delivered at their destination
from Seattle at a rate of 13% cents
per pound—3% cents per pound
from Seattle to McCarthy and 10
cents per pound from there on.
In all localities m wmcn we
have been familiar with the trade
conditions a cheapening of freight
rates meant a corresponding reduc
tion to the consumer, but in the
above instance it appears to havt
had an opposite effect and the rnori
goods that were taken in the high'
er became the amount for whici
they were retailed.
With a population of only 50t
people, which Mr. Hazelet states i:
the number in the Chisana camp, i
would seem to us that 7M. tons oi
provisions in ten days would keej
them pretty well supplied, whet
there is no doubt that an equal ii
not greater quantity is being taker
in from Canadian pointd.
