ka. e*p*-diUoc. The extcns.ve outSt &nitfae Urge am »unt of stock that the partytook when it v>*-m nortn attracted con-siderable attention, e.en at & time whenbig enterprises in connection w.ih goldhunting were springing up on all sides.Mr. stated at the Butler yesterday

that the party had intended crossing byway of the Chilkat river route, wheret;.ey h*d bs«n I»;d to believe there wasa wagon road. Upon landing their goods,T-% horses and lad head of cattle, theyfound their movements blocked by theentire absence of any trail or routewhatever. They th*n determined toawait the freeing up of the river andproceed, a.s had b«aa tirat intended, usingthe ice as a traiL The unusually largeretinue of helpers ar.d employes wa» re-duced to sixty, and th-se men are divid-ed into two c*mps. one b*-|i.g eight m. -sand the other twenty-two msles up theriver. Beyond the fact that their In-formation aa to a trail was wrong, theyexperienced no disappointment, andfounrt things even better than they }.a dexpected. The entire expedition is ingood phape. ar.d but eight horses hav«b n lost by the u. ua! casuaities and ae-c.d»*nta.

The season Is a very backward on?,and Mr. Smith says th« temperature Isfts mild as in Seattle. The rivers usuallyfreeze in December, but thus far therehas b*en hut one time when thewas frozen enough to permit its use.Then the thermometer fell to degreesl>eiow z«ro. The exp*-dltlon moved a£r* at of its stock and suppii- s upthe river to the place of the secondcamp?twenty-two miles. Between thesecond camp and the summit there arethirteen crossings, all running like millraces Along the edges the ice hasformed in places a foot thick, but theopen space varies from ton to twentyf« er In width, positively unfordable. Mr.Smith. I*r. Crook and Mr. Rus-cil willleave for San Francisco today and re-turn in a woek or ten days. They v. 11then go directly north, expecting that thetour a< ross the snow fit-ids may be tak\u25a0-nup again without interruption. "We rx-f?< t«d to fr»»e«e to d*ath.

It Is very mild th*re. or was wh. nwh n we bft. acd the rivers and stream-were swollen from rains and thaws.There Is nothing farther to say. exceptthat We are waiting for the ice to formin the river."
