R. II. hhzhugli left his partner
I'. Diake on Slate Creek the
even;: g of the fourth to shoot some
ptarmigan; at three o’clock the fol
lowing morning, he not having re
turned, Drake h l owed his trail to
the top of the ridge, and then had
to give it up. Searching pai ties left
town yesterday mori.ing to tiv and
find him; among whom were Messrs
\Yobber, J unear, Riske, Go):,
Tuttle, Reinhardt,Lamb and others
of the barracks. Ditzhugh is a hardv
and expeiier.ced man, and it is im
possible that he got lost: the only
feasible idea is, that lie either shi t
nimself accidentally, or was caught
in a snow Siide. d he snow on Big
Minook and (.11 the small divides is
5 and 6 feet deep, so if he has lost
his life, in either case, it is improb
able that his body be recovered be
toie spring.
Mail Carrier Currier arrived turn
Tatiana last Monday; he reports a
heavy trail, hut thinks after it has
been travelled over, it will be in
good condition. The river, he says
closed at Tan ana Oct. 27, and at the
olo station two da vs hek re.
Currier continued to the coal
mine and returning light, Wednes
day afternoon, reports 30 miles
in 5 hours, all glare ice. He be
lieves the mail is at b't. Yukon,two
weeks awav.
Jim Huntington, mail carrier,
who should have arrived at Tanaua
trom below with mail, has not been
heard from since he left, Oct. 1.
His triends are at a loss to account
for his failure to leturn. While
they think he will turn up all right;
still it is possible that he may have
met with some accident. J. Patter
son left Tatiana forSt. Michael, wit h
the mail, on Nov. 1, in his stead.
