We will get all our stull up theie in one week mow, sine By the 2d or !ld of Apiil wo will be at the top and then the worst will be over, that is if it is like tliis on theotler side of thuMiinmit or White Pass. It isonl a winter Hail and it is thawing very fast, and when it thaws out twill be so tough that a bit d cannot lly over it. You uauiiot think how rough i. is in places on the trail that 1 go over every day. If I should make a misstep of twelve inches, I would tlnow myself, horse, sleigh and all, over the mountain side from 50 to 200 feet down, but tliere is so much snow on the bottom that it does not hint anything to fall. I saw au ox fall 125 feet ami get up and walk oil. I was on the trail the other day and a pack mulo got down and could not get up. They had to get him oil' the track to let us pass so they lolled him over the precipice. That is the way they do business out here. I wih that Uncle and I had our hoi-es out bete. I could sell them for $300 ea li for cash. Mules like outs would bring 100 each. Hay is woith $200 per ton. Theio was a man cinio up to camp the other night to buy a bale of hay, and we told him he could have it for $12 and ho ofleied us 8. Wo have ten or twelve tons to sell and thoy toll us that by taking it about 35 miles, over on Lake Bennett wo can got $400 per ton. So wo aro going to try and see what wo cau do. After wo get to tho summit we will have good roads so that wo can haul 2,500 pounds with ono horso. Will, I must toll you what I did the other day I went upon tho mountain with my revolver ami shot three white quail-. They arc just as white as snow awl a little larger than tho common qtutil. I shot live times and got tbreo quails. This is Sunday hut everybody works just tbo same. I made one trip to the summit thn morning so I rest Uiis afternoon. Wo havo four cooks and eat in two tents. After our day's work is dono wo all go into ono tent and build a tiro in tuefltove and Bit and talk till bed time. It is cot veiy cold right here but eight miles away on tho summit it snows and blows every day, and you bet it is cold! It is called White Fass because everything is white with snow. Snow and snow batiks is all you can see. Oh, y"s, there is ono moro thing you can see the British flag on a great long polo. Thorosho flics day and night and if you want to go aeioss tho lino you must pay a duty on something you have got.

There aro lots of pcoplogoingto Kloudiko for thero is a jam on tho trail all tho time, juntas thick as thoy cau be some with hoi sea, mules, oxen and 3 to 50 pack horses and mules in ono string. That is tho way they are going every day. Everybody tends to his own business. You can leave any thing you want to, from a sack of Hour to a load of goods beside the road ami lot it stay there as long as you wish and no one will touch it.

It is true wisdom for every body to tuko a thorough course of Swift's Specific just at this season of tho year. The blood is sluggish and impoverished, aud the system is full of impurities which should bo eliminated. In addition to thoroughly cleansing the blood, and toning np the system so as to avoid loss of appetite and a gen eral run-down feeling in ths spring, S. S. S. so strengthens and builds up as to fortify against the many forms of dangerous illness that abound during the hot sum mer season. It is a very small matter to tako this precaution but it insures health and strength all summer. Swift's Specifio S.S.S.fTneBl00d is far ahead of all other remedies for thiB purpose. It is a real blood remedy which promptly purifies the blood and thoroughly reuovatcfi the entire system, tones and strongtheuB the stomach, and renews tho appetite. It is the only safe tonic, being purely vege table, and the only blood remedy (uaranfe'eti to contain no arsenic, sulphur, mercury, potash or other mineral substance, which is, of so much importance to all who know the injurious effect of theso drugs. Nature should bo assisted by na ture's remedy, S. S. S. Tako 8. S. S. and be well all summer.
