Camp Lewis. Jan. 20.
EDITOR Daily ALASKAN:? When men
walk a distance of from fen to fifteen miles
to anj from their work, they run little
danger of indigestion. Lacking this exer
cise, however, there would be no surcease
of appetite, for the very atmosphere of
these high altitudes is conducive to an ap
palling absorption of grub. At no time is
this fact better evidenced than on Sunday,
wl en, with all lying in their bunks the
live long blessed day, the members of this
partv, between the hours of eight and five
send three full meals to that illimitable
bourne from whence no pork and beans
return.
But not every Sunday is a day of com
plete dulce fa' niente; for about once a
month the ordeal of boiling socks and
underclothes is undertake.!. As a result of
this amateur laundry work the colors of
the rainbow garment are equitably inter
changed, so that origin il shades become
lost in successive nothing. Then the Sib
ley stoves require constant feeding and I
considerable wallowing in the deep snow j
i< required to keep the wood racks full.
Green balsam is the only timber afforded I
by the woodlands about Middle lake and [
a Sil ly is perhaps the only thing con
trived by man that will burn it. So juicy
is this medicinal tree that it wont float in
water. Once coaxed into a blaze it must
be kept burning, with drafts wide open, or
the tire will die down and go out. Burn
ing balsam affords either a roast or a
freeze.
Double team freighting to Bennett is J
now in full operation. The new trail along |
the right-of-way is now being almost ex
clusively traveled and is in perfect condi
tion.
Brack-. tt & Robinson commenced regular
trips with their outfit Thursday and the
mounted police have posted notices for
bid ing travel on the Brooks trail to Atlin, >
Now the drooks trail is virtually the Fan !
Tail cut off. But these notices are not in
' tended to convey any such idea. It is I
only th^t portion of the Brook's trail be
tween the south shore of Middle Lake on
to a junction with the present trail to;
Atlin. This portion of the old Brooks
trail is now generally disused and has been
tabooed to facilitate customs inspection.
A mile of grade has been uncovered at
Camp 12 and !s nearly completed and the
ground was broken at Camp 13 yesterday.
Down at Bennett, Mr. Ennis, the rail
road agent, must brook the opposition of a
representative of the Chilkoot Tramway
company, who is located at that point. ,
The Chilkoot people are said to be dig
ging the snow away from their cables,
long stretches of wl ich have been greatly 1
damaged by the cold weather. So far j
only one shipment has crossed the pass ,
and that was a rive ton outfit destined for
Bennett out which has been stacked on
Lindem.in, where it will remain indefi- '
nitely. I
Balsam City is gradually becoming re- j
inhabited with its floating population of
sled pulling men and dogs. Every night
new tents are pitched in the neighborhood
and everv day some cf them are taken
down and mushed on.
While in places that are quite sheltered
from currents, the ice on the lakes is fully
three feet thick, it is generally very thin
for midwinter, and old timers, who have
tarried at this camp, predict an early
breakup. If this occurs transportation
will be badly hampered during the season
that the lakes are impassable for both
sledding and navigation.
Nearly ail the British Columbian offi- j
cials in this district, very much disfavor
Ithe enactment of the threatened alien ex
clusion law and assert thev do not believe
it will ever bec?me a statute.
Gold Commissioner Graham says that,
if the law passes, It will not be reaction*
ary, and that all alien owners of claims
will be maintained In all their rights which
existed at the time of entry. Alien hold
ers of licenses mav also enjoy all the priv- i
lieges conferred thereby. Now one of these
privileges is set forth in chapter ij<S of,
act amended in 1898, section 6, as follows:
j "If any person or joint stock company i
shall apply for a free miner's certificate at
the mining recorder's office during his ab- :
sence and shall leave the fee required bv 1
this act with the officer or other person In j
charge of the said office, he or she shall be
entitled to have such certificate from the I
date of such application, and any free ;
miner shall at any time be entitled to ob
tain a free miner's certificate commencing
to run from the expiration of his then ex- 1
isting free miner's certificate, providing
he applies for such certificate. He shall '
pr-jdutie to the mining recorder, or in case j
of his absence slull leave with the officer
or other person in charge of the mining
recorder's office, such existing certificate."
Accordingly, before the passage of an
alien exclusion law, any alien may license
himself to enjov all the rights of a free
miner in British Columbia for as manv
years as he chooses to pre-license himself.
