In Outing for September Edward Spurr , of the United States Geological Survey , speaks as follows of the great Alaskan river : "Only two routes are available. One must either go to St. Michael , in the Behring sea , and thence up the River Yukon , from its outlet to the begin ning of its headwaters , some 1,500 miles , or land at some point of the Pacific , cross the head of land and tap the headwaters of the Yukon at their source. "In either event the journey must be completed before September , when the Yukon freezes , and Alaska's arctic win ter of the utmost rigor sets in and grips its vise. , "At the little town of Juneau we left the steamer and made preparations to turn our backs for good upo ' n civiliza tion. Our proposed route lay across the coast mountains to the headwaters of the Yukon and thence down that river as a highway , making such excursions from it as became necessary. "Alaska is a most difficult country for traveling , even in the only available short season of its arctic summer , there being no roads ; and even Indian trails , on account of the small number of na tives , are very rare. The surface is rough , being traversed by many ranges of mountains. Even in the more level portions travel is hindered in the sum mer by the wet moss which grows knee-deep , and by the insect pests ; in the winter it is made impossible by the intense cold. In view of all these diffi culties , the peculiar relation of the Yukon ken river to the coast is sueh that one might fancy Nature had arranged it es pecially for a highway , through this Inaccessible interior , in partal compen sation to man for the obstacles she has put In his way. The headwaters of the network of streams that ultimately drain into the Yukon river fortunately lie within aTout thirty miles of the sea , just on the northern or inland side of a range of mountains which runs along the southern coast of Alaska. From this point the river flows north , away from the sea , far toward the Arctic Ocean ; then , suddenly changing its mind , turns west ; and finally , after traversing the whole width of Alaska , arrives at the Behring Sea , its entire course being considerably over two thousand miles. For a considerable distance it is a broad and deep stream , so that one may go quite through the center of Alaska , from sea to sea , by crossing only thirty miles'or so of land. " There are various routes across the coast mountains to the various heads of this river. Of these we chose that over the ChilkootPasswhich is the shortest , although the mountains which must be thereby crossed are higher than any of the other routes. Hardship * of the Trip to the Klondike. "We were huddled together so closely that we perforce became speedily ac quainted , for although the space on the floor was large enough for all of us to sit down , there was hardly room to stretch out. When we grew weary of chatting , however , and of listening to the sound of the water as the boat threshed its was * onward , we were forced by drowsiness to sleep where we could , and soon sleepers "were scattered around in the most grotesque and un comfortable attitudes. I had coveted a space on or under the little table used for eating purposes , but found that choice position fully occupied before I made up my mind to retire ; but I fin ally wedged myself into a narrow space between the boiler and the pilot house , where , throughout the night , passers continually stepped on my head. How ever , T slept several hours. The system of eating is worthy of note. The table accDramodated about six at a time , whereas , as I have men tioned , we were fifty or sixty in all. At each meal one or two , or sometimes three , sets of passengers would be fed ; then the captain , the sailors , the Chi nese cook , and the dish-washer , after which the rest of us got our rations , in good time. As we grew very nun- : gry during this process , we would stand around patiently waiting our chance to slip in ; but-sometimes bei i EDWARD SPURR * IN VVOUTING fore we had tasted the tempting liver and coffee ( to say nothing of the beans ) , we would be summarily ejected by the dish-washer , who was a very young man of dashing exterior and pe culiar vocabulary , and who would dis perse us with the assertion that "By , the crew is going to eat now. " Crossing the Now Famous Chllkoot 1'ahn. "The trip from salt water to the head of the navigable waters of the Yukon is usually made in two stages , of each about fifteen miles. The trader at Dyea had brought in a few horses , and we engaged him to transport our camp outfit and provisions over the first stage , where the trail , though rough , can be gone over by pack-animals. Some of the miners , however , engaged Indians immediately at Dyea to pack the whole distance , and , as it afterward proved , this was the wiser plan. We could also have obtained saddle ani mals , but our little party preferred to walk for the sake of getting toughened for the harder journeys that were to follow. "The trip turned out to be exception ally fatiguing , a large part of the dis tance being through sand and loose gravels in the bed of a stream , where it was impossible to find a firm footing ; several times also we had to wade the stream. The valley along whose bottom tom we were thus traveling was narrow and canyon-like , with steep hare mountains rising high on either side. The tops of these mountains , so far as we could see , were capped with ice ; and this great glacier stretched out long fingers-down into the valley along each ol the gulches or recesses in the mountain wall. Finally , crossing the river a last time on a fallen tree , we followed the trail up into the more rocky and difficult portion of the val ley ; and some miles of this brought us , thoroughly tired , to our halting place. "From Sheep Camp , where we were , the only way to get our supplies over the pass was to get Indians to carry them. Although these Indians are no stronger than average white men , yet they greatly excel them in point of endurance , and they willingly under go extreme fatigue for any limited period. At this time , however , the trail was so bad , on account of the soft ening of the snows in the hot June sun , that they concluded to strike for higher wages. This was the cause of some little delay for us. Once we saw the Siwash safely start ed with their packs , we set out our selves , at about C o'clock in the after noon. At this time of year the trip is usually timed by the Indians , so that the deepest snow will be crossed between 12 o'clock at midnight and 3 in the morning ; for in these hours a crust forms , which in daytime is soft ened by the warm sun. Cur way soon led us on to a glacier-like field of snow , which often sounded hollow to our feet as we trod , and at intervals we could hear the water rushing bcr-eath. The grade became steep , and the fog closed around us thickly , joining with the twilight of the Alaska June night to nr-tke a peculiar ohtc.irity wh'ch gave things a weird , ghostly appear ance. As avc toiled up the steep in cline of hardened' snow , those ahead o : us looked like huge giants : while those on whom we looked down were ugly , sprawling dwarfs. All the rest of the climb was over snow , the ascent being very steep , with cliffs on all sides , which loomed up gigantic and ghostly. It is im possible to describe the effect pro duced by these bare , jagged rocks ris ing out of the snow field , in the silence , the fog and the twilight. We were forcibly reminded of some of Dore's imaginative drawings. DRIVING A BARGAIN WITH THE NATIVES. After awhile the woll-beaten trail faded to almost nothing , and at the same time the snow-slopo hecame of excessive steepness. Wo were obliged to kick footholds for ever/ step , on a surface so smooth and : tt 'ei > that a slip would have sent us sliding into depths which we could not see. Looking down it seemed a bottomlosn pit , shapeless and fathomless , in the eddying fog. On the other side or the summit a short but steep declivity led down tea a small frozen lake , named by the miners Crater Lake , on account of the steep , crater-like walla which sur round it on three sides. On one side , however , this wall opcutJ out into a valley , through which a small stream runs ; the lake is , therefore one of the ultimate sources of the Yukon , and it relief that we was with a feeling of stepped upon its frozen surface. The Chllkoot Indluu Vackers. " small trading-post , "At Dyea is a kept by a white man , around which is gathered a village of Indians or Siwash , belonging to the Chilkoct tribe. They are by no means ill looking people. The men are strong and v/ell-fonned ; the women ( naturally , v/lien one con siders their mode of life ) are inferior to the men in good looks ) . These wo men have a habit of painting their faces uniformly black with a mixture of soot and grease , a covering which is said to prevent suovz-hlindness in the winter and to be a pr/rtectiou in sum mer against the mosquitoes. Some have only the upper part of their faces painted , and the black part terminates in a straight line , giving the effect of a half-mask. At llio time cf our ar rival the Indians ; vwo engaged very busily in catching and drying a small fish. This fish is very oily , and when dried can be lighted at ono end and used as a candle ; .Mid for this purpose it is stored away aguiirt tli.s long win ter night. Graven ol the Kloiiilll.v. "Although there are very few people ple in the country , ono is continually surprised at first hy pomer/ing a soli tary white tent standing on some prom inent point or cliff which overlooks the river. At first lln-j looks cheerful , and we sent many : . hearly hail across the water to such habitations ; but our calls were never aur.weietl , for these are not dwellings ; of the Hying but of the dead. Inside each cf these tents , which are ordinarily niailo of while cloth , though sometimes cf woven matting , is a dead Indian , and near him are laid his rilio , Hiiov/shoes , orna ments and other personal effects. I do not think the cuslnni cf leaving these HIGH SUMMER IN THE CHILKOOT PAHtf. articles at the graves implies any be lief that they wiT ho used by the dead man in another world , but simply sig nifies that he will have no more use for the things which v/eie so dear and necessary to him in life just as , amopg ourselves , articles which have been used by some dead friend are henceforth laid aside and used no long er. . A Itallot Box That Counts. Something novel in the v/ay of voting machinery has recently been patented in England by Arthur E. Collins , city engineer of Norwich. The ballots are printed on stiff paper or card , bound up in books , each leaf being so perfor ated that it can be torn off like a check from its stub. The voter goes into a screened room , where he sees a row oi boxes supported on a frame. Each box bears the name and other insignia of a party or a candidate. A conspicuous indicator points the voter to a slot in the box. Into this the ballot - | lot is thurst without any marking or : folding , and after a few seconds it i fails through to a glass box , into which ' all the other boxes discharge. An election - , tion official , on one side , and the voter 1 1 I on the other , can both see the ballot i and be sure that it is all right ; but the . 1 official cannot tell by which route it j entered the lass-walled receptacle , and j therefore cannot tell how the man has voted. Just within the slot , in each ballot box there is an inked roller and some type , which print a number on the back of the ballot. These numbers run in succession. Consequently , they count each party's vote as it is cast. Both the type and the highest number on the ballots , finally taken out , record this , and , therefore , must agree when the polls close. Each ballot , after re maining an instant in the glass box for j inspection , drops still further , and goes into a much bigger reservoir that is sealed. Dcaf-Mute Misers.
