CARIBOU. Aug. la? T. R. Wat
son, a prospector and miner of many
Venn: experience In Alaska and Yu
kon territories, arrived yesterday
from Silver Creek, where lio has
been prospecting during the past
few months. He Is headed for the
now discovery at Shushanua, Intend
ing to go in by the Kluane trail.
Mr. Watson Is faml'.l ir with the
nortn country and has had much ex
perience with glaciers; he says they
nro very dangerous and from now on
no experienced person will attempt
to p.-iss ovor them, consequently he
Is going ovor a trail that Is safe.
William Cornwall, A. J. Larson
and N. A. Krlckson, three Atlln
miners aro also going In via Kluane.
Mr. Cornwall said that lie was two
days In a storm on Soul glacier at
the head of Portland Canal, and his
experience was such that he will
novo,- tackle another oue at this
time of year, for thoy are usually en
veloped In mist and fog in which
travelers become lost. All these
mon^re unanimous in saying that
the Kluane trail Is absolutely the
only prnctlcablo one for tho new
strike. They aro familiar with the |
country and their udvlce Is worth |
