 The ^ea L,eYel Route. 
 
 The high mountain ranges of South-easterii 
 Alaska which barricade approach from the 
 Pacific to the head waters of the Yukon, cross- 
 ing at their lowest passes near Dyea and Skag- 
 uay being attended with hardships and loss of 
 property and life, are nowhere opened for a 
 practicable route of travel inland at sea-level 
 except at the canons of the Stikine River. 
 Along this line the travel is through instead 
 of OVER the mountains, and sitting instead 
 of WAI.KING — resting comfortably in chair and 
 bed instead of toiling on foot up steep acclivi- 
 ties and floundering in mire and amoiig sharp 
 rocks and death holes. 
 
 The formidable barrier of the mountain)} is, 
 by the Stikine river route, overcome, not by 
 
 i 
 
<•-

 climbing and packing on backs of men atid 
 animals, but by riding straight through 
 at practically sea i,evel in the comfortable 
 cabin of a steamboat, with your outfit on the 
 the deck below. There is one other important 
 point that is not to be overlooked, and that is 
 the total avoidance and escape from, hardships 
 of the rain belt which along that coast extends 
 from the ocean to the summit of the mountain 
 ranges, and is felt in full force on the Chilkoot 
 and White passes, presenting one of the most 
 serious obstacles in the way ot surmounting 
 those passes. Whereas, in the case of the 
 Stikine river route, the traveler is under per- 
 fect shelter ot the steamer cabin for the entire 
 passage through the rain belt. 
 
 On the Stikine route there is only 125 miles 
 of land travel, the remainder being by water, 
 about equally divided between steamship and 
 river steamer. Following are the distances: — 
 Tacoma and Seattle to Fort Wrangell

 with the Yukon. It is a beautiful stream, 
 navig-able for its entire lenjfth and having- 
 four feet of water in the shallowest places. 
 
 Report has just arrived of important discoveries 
 of gold on this river. 
 
 Fort Wrangell, in the route from Tacoma 
 and Seattle to Juneau, Skaguay and Dyea, but 
 at one tourth less distance, is a small town con- 
 taining about 150 white people and SOO Indians, 
 the site of an old government fort, on an is- 
 land 10 miles off the mouth of the Stikine 
 river. It has three very good stores for out- 
 fitting where reasonable prices are charged, 
 and is the best location near the mouth of the 
 river. 
 
 Wrangell is the ocean terminus, Telegraph 
 Creek being the eastern end of the Stikine 
 river portion of the route. The Hudson Bay 
 Company has navigated this stream for many 
 years, and now owns and operates the steamer 
 Caledonia, which carries supplies for the in- 
 terior posts, making the trip up from Wrangell 
 to Glenora in from two to three days. In view 
 of the currents encountered in the upward 
 trip, this is very good time; but this boat is 
 well equipped with power, her engines having 
 
 . /■ 
 
cylinders of l6-ittch bore and 6 feet stroke. 
 Travellers headed tor the Klondike by this 
 route go ashore at Telegraph Creek, or Gleno- 
 ra, near by, and ride horseback or walk, as 
 may be preferred, over a good trail to Tesliu 
 Lake, whence a river steamer will take them 
 to Dawson City. 
 
 . The scenery is magnificent all the way up 
 the river. One of the grandest features is 
 Vice Mountain," the name of a glacier 45 
 miles from Wrangell. At the point where 
 this glacier emerges from the mountain it is 
 about half a mile in width, but its face along 
 the river measures three miles, rising sheer 
 from the water line in many places as high as 
 300 feet. 
 
 The first canyon met with in the ascent is 
 called by steamboatmen "Big Canyon," 
 100 miles from Wrangell. It is here that the 
 river has cut its channel through the moun- 
 tain range and rendered possible steamboat 
 navigation by this sea-level route to the Gold 
 Fields. The water here is very deep and the 
 current strong, but a good boat can make the 
 passage without difficulty. The bluffs on 
 either side are perpendicular and more than

 Ten miles further up the river is the second, 
 known as "Klootchman Canyon." This ia 
 without bluffs, but the mountains on either 
 side rise abruptly; it is 275 feet wide and a 
 quarter of a mile long. 
 
 There has been much placer mining on the 
 bars of the river. One of these bars, called 
 "Buck," yielded a few years ago, $75,000 in 
 one season. It is the opinion of good judges 
 that successful mining could be carried on on 
 a great many bars throughout the length of 
 the river. 
 
 Glenora is a new town, or post, on the river 
 ten miles below Telegraph Creek, and is re- 
 garded as practically the head of navigation. 
 The river at this point is from 300 to 500 feet 
 wide. The townsite is on the west bank of 
 the river, on a long level bench running paral- 
 lel to the stream, about a quarter of a mile wide 
 and ten feet above extreme high water. 
 
 The Stikine River is closed by ice from Nor 
 vember to May 1st, when it opens to naviga- 
 tion, about one month before the head waters

 of the Yukon are cleared, which, it is evident, 
 is a great advantage, enabling gold-seekers to 
 be on the ground at Teslin Lake without haste 
 or discomfort to take advantage of the very 
 first days of Yukon navigation to float, row or 
 steam to Dawson City. 
 
 The country between Glenora and Teslin 
 Lake, traversed by the trail, is of a rolling, 
 but not ro-Jgh character, mostly prairie, grow- 
 ing bunch grass, and is well watered by nu- 
 merous streams, all of which are reported to 
 bear gold, but none of which have been fairV 
 prospected; so that the portage may be taken 
 leisurely, with opportunity for prospecting new 
 fields for those who desire it. The great 
 abundance of bunch grass furnishes food 
 ready at hand at every camp during the season 
 for the pack animals. A reliable citizen of 
 Tacoma, recently returned from Glenora, 
 makes the following statement bearing upon 
 the merits of this route : 
 
 "Glenora is at the very point of departure fro«V«je 
 river where the miner may begin P'^?«P«*=t!UB^,i,°';f?\t

 :ting for gold 
 you that it is

 t is onlv 126 
 ativcly level 
 and grass for 
 
 stock the entire distance. Pack trains make the trip 
 from the rivier tothe lake in ton days; the pack ani- 
 als are loaded with 300 pounds each, and live off the 
 country as thtgr go. From Teslin Lake yon can go 
 by steamer to Dawson City, or you can build boats or 
 rafts at the lake and godown with the current. There 
 is fine timber for t>oat building all around the lake. 
 A saw-mill is beine built at the hpau of the lake 
 where the trail terminates. In the i < ;■ itself there is 
 a current of one mile per hour, ana wn the rivers 
 towards Dawson City the current is four miles 
 an hour. By this route you avoid th • dangerous White 
 Horse rapids, and all of the j .d whirlpools uf the 
 Dyea and Skaguay routes. / r. Id prospector advises 
 for each person to take 2 horses froi<' Ta;^oma with 
 600 pounds of supplies, go to Wrangel and thi;re take 
 the river steat.ier lor Glenora, the'iea-iof navigation 
 on Stikine River. By taking your time, prospecting 
 as you go, you can carry that much easily and go to 
 the head waters of the Pelly, Salmon and Dease riv- 
 ers, and also examine the numerous tributaries of 
 these streams. Thus a man would surely strike rich 
 claims, in which case he can oither return to Glenora 
 for supplies, or come out to the Sound and return the 
 next Spring. At Glenora and Telegraph theie are 
 large stores selling at reasonable prices, ^hen you 
 have found the ground which seems to o£Fer the best 
 prospects, there build a cabin for the winter, timber 
 being plentiful, and, when it freezes, sink to bed- 
 rock." 
 
 The report of a trip made last fall from 
 Telegraph Creek to Teslin Lake and return, 
 for the purpose of closely examining the route 
 and its resources, show that there is plenty of 
 grass for horses all along the trail on either side, 
 with wide expanse of reserve pasturage avail- 
 able by ranging away from the trail in pitching 
 
cathp. This trip begran October 7tli, and ende<^ 
 on return to Telegraph October 27 th., or 10 
 days going and a like period r ;turiiing. Snow 
 was encountered about 12 miles out, though 
 only four inches. The small lakes along the 
 route were not frozen at the time of the out- 
 ward journey, but were found encrusted with 
 about one inch of ice on the return. There 
 are no hard hills having very heavy grades. 
 The first summit, which is about 12 miles out 
 from Telegraph Creek, has an elevation of 
 3100 feet, but there was no part of the road 
 over which a pack horse could not readily carry 
 his full load. At that time the Canadian gov- 
 ernment had twenty men at work widening the 
 trail to a width of four or five feet. Our re- 
 porter, while going north met, at different 
 places on the road, about 12 men in all, some 
 having horses and dogs, on their way to Tele- 
 graph Creek. The Hudson Bay post is about 
 50 miles from Telegraph, and contains four 
 good log cabins where freight is stored. At a 
 distance of three miles trom this post 
 north is another summit, though it is not 
 steep for pack animals. A Mr. York has 7 
 men and 12 mules packing from Telegraph

 summit. From this second summit the road is 
 practically a down grade or level the entire re- 
 maining distance to Teslin Lake. 
 
 There is now a good trail from Glenora atfd 
 Telegraph Creek to Teslin Lake, and there will 
 soon be a good wagon road built by the Cana- 
 dian Government, On this point the Victoria 
 Colonist h as said : 
 
 "If neither the Canadian Pacific nor any other com- 
 pany will undertake the immediate construction of a 
 railroad by this route, the Government is prepared to 
 enter into arrangements for the construction of a 
 wagon road." 
 
 Later the following statement was published 
 by Robert Kerr, Traffic Manager of the Cana- 
 dian Pacific Railway west of Fort Williams : 
 
 "We will have a railway line, narrow guage, from 
 Glenora, the head of navigation on the Stikine river, 
 to Teslin Lake, about 120 miles, from which point it 
 is easy sailing or rafting to Dawson." 
 
 He does not say when the railroad will be 
 built, but it is not likely to be ready for the 
 season ot 1898, nor is it certain that the wagon 
 road will be finished in time for the early 
 spring movement. What is sure is a good trail 
 through a rich gold country lying between the 
 Stikine River and Teslin Lake, traversed by 
 this route leading to the Yukon and Klondike.

 In proof that it is rich and inviting", we quote 
 from a lecture delivered by Canada's great au- 
 thority, Wm. Ogilvie, Fellow of the Royal 
 Geographical Society, and Astronomer and 
 Surveyor of the Interior Department of Cana- 
 da who made careful explorations of this re- 
 gion for his government. He said: 
 
 "A fact I am now going' to state to you, and one 
 that ;s easily demonstrated is, that from Telegraph 
 Creek northward to the boundary line, we have in the 
 Dominion, and in Ihis Province, an area of fiom 560 
 to 600 miles in length and from 100 to 160 miles in 
 
 width, OVER THE WHOLE OP WHICH RICH PROSPECTS 
 
 HAVE BEEN FOUND. We must have from 90,000 to 100,000 
 square miles which, with proper care, judicious hand- 
 ling aud better facilities for the transportation of food 
 and utensils, will be the largest, as it is the richest, 
 gold field the world has ever known." (See Map.) 
 
 There are already two steamboats employed 
 in the navigation of the Stikine River be- 
 tween Wrangell and Telegraph Creek, but in 
 order to furnish additional means of transpor- 
 tation by this route, the well-known, commo- 
 dious and powerful steamer SKAGIT CHIEF 
 will be placed on the route April 30, 1898, 
 and thereafter, during the season, make regular 
 trips. That there may be no question of her 
 adaptability for the service, we make a point 
 of the tact that this steamer was built especial- 
 ly for shallow and rapid streams. Her new

 The Stikine route, beiag the easiest of all 
 the routes to the Klondike is, in point ol time, 
 the shortest, it is also the cheapest and Safest. 
 No lives have been lost on this line by pros- 
 pectors destined for the gold fields to the north. 
 Many inquiries are already coming in for in- 
 formation regarding this route, and there are 
 indication* of a strong movement over this line 
 as soon as navigation opens. Those desiring 
 to avail themselves of th« earliest opportunity 
 ot re ching the gold fields should secure pas- 
 sage without delay.
