It was nearly four years ago that a
hardy bond of minora determined to
strikeout from Juneau City, heed of
steamship communication in Alaska and
explore the country about the banka of
thoeppar Yukon ia aaorch of geld. Those
assn were gone ao tong that grave fears
wavs entertained that they had met the
fate of others who bad undertaken the
task, and bad perished from cold and
hangar. But late In the winter, to the
Joy of the settlement, the band returned.
They reported rich finds of placers, and
since that time, with yeovuiac eras, van
tursome spirits have looked toward the
wild country about the upper Yukon.
A year ago last April four different
parties toft Juneau far the new gold fields.
All were well supplied with the- necessar
ies of such a trip and the parties num
bered 600 awn. From a period two weeks
from their departure until the present
time net a word has been heard of those
men. The majority ware young single
man, comparative strangers la the coun
try. One of Uwae happened to hava a
mother, living in anticipation of bar son’s
sale return, far to the southward in Ban
Francisco.
September fifth, this lady, after months
of terrible suspense, heard from bar boy,
whose name to M R. Johnson. The let
ter was doted “Gold Fields ef Yukon.
Alaska, August JO, 1886.” The writer,
en a piece of worn and dirty pager, bad
scribbled the intelligence that be was
aHva. hot snow-bound and unable to
ranch a settlement The feelings of his
mother can be better imagined than de
scribed. She at ooca called upon lend
ing Alaskan traders in Son Francisco,
and sn listed their aid in the lasews of bar
son and his companions from their dead-
irparil.

The Northern Pacific railway runs with
in fifteen mile* of the base of it, and from
the nearcat point a trail has been made*
et a coat ol some thousands of dollars, he
which tourists may ascend the mountain
on horseback to an altitude of 10,000 fret
with comparative comfort; but he who
goes above that height must work hie
passage. There are several assn who
claim the distinction of being the only
white man wbo has ever been to the top
of this mountain. Others declare that it
bos been ascended only twice; but we
have authentic information of at toast
three successful and complete ascents
having been mode. Indian legends peo
ple the mountain with evil spirits, which
are said to dwell in boiling cauldrons and
yawning caverns
“Calling shapes, aud bscksiag shadows dlrs;
And angry tongues that syllable men * names."
Tradition says their wild shrieks and
groans may be lieonl therein at all times;
no Indians are known ever to have gone
any great distance up Mount Ranier, aa
they call It. White men have tried to
employ the native ml men as guides and
packers for the ascent, bat no amount of
money can tempt them to invade the
mysterious canyons and cliffs with which
the marvelous pile is surrounded. They
say that all attempts to do ao, sillier by
white or red men, must result In certain
destruction. Undoubtedly the first ascent
was mode about thirty years ago by Gen
eral (then lieutenant) Kautz aud Lieuten
ant Slaughter* of the United States army,
who were then stationed at Steilaroom,
Washington territory. They took park
animals, and with an escort of savers!
men ascended as far as the animals coakl
go. There they left them and continued
to climb on foot. They were gone nine
days from the time of leaving their males
until they returned to Uh ir animals, and
claimed, do doubt jindly, to have gone to
the top of Liberty Cap, the highest of the
three distinct summits that form the
Triplex Corona, the others being known
as the Summit and the Dome. The next
ascent, ao far aa known, was made in
1876 by Mr. Hazard Stevens, who gave
an account of his experience in the At
lantic Monthly for November of that year.
In 188J Messrs. Van Trump snd Smith,
of Ssn Francisco, made a successful as
•wnt, and in the same year ao Australian
tourist who attempted to ascend the
mountain got within three hundred feet
of the top, when his progress was arrest
ed by an avalanche, and be came very
near losing his life. Mr. L. L. Holden,
of Boston, went to within about «00 feet
of the summit In IBeB, and Mr. J. R.
Hitchco. k claims to have reached It is
1866.
From th* point gained by the trail
•hove mentioned, the tourist may look
down on the glaciers of the North Fork o i
Iho Poyallup nver, three Uiouaand feet
below, while on the other hand, the
gladere of the Carbon may be aeen four
thousand feet beneath him. Away to the
north, glimmering and gttntiag under the
effulgent raye of the noonday eon,
auetrbea that labyrinth of waters known
as Puget bound—
N Whow brassy wave* low ap (Mi Whwry
■pray,” . * ,
while the many inlands therein, draped In
their evergreen foliage, look like emerald*
set in a sea of silver. Many prominent
landmarks In British Colombia are seen,
while to the north and sooth stretches the
Cascade range, to the weal the Olympic,
and to dm nooth Went the Coast range.
All those are spread out before the era of
the tourist in a grand panorama unsur
passed for loveliness. Crater lake forme
one of the mysteries of Mount Tacoma.
About ita tagged, ire-bound and rock
ribbed shores are many dark caverns,
from which the Indians rood red their
superstitious leers of the mysterious pile.
An explorer says of these chambers:
"The roof la a dome id brilliant gmea,
with lea, iciclea pendaal tbwairom;
While Ita doer is caomoaed id tha rocks
and debris that termed tlia tide <d the
cralar, worn someth by tha action of
tha water and heated by a natural rsgiafar
teem which Issues clouds cl attain.”

two and a half miiea wide, and from ita
bead may he aeon the great glacier, SOU
feat ia thickneao, which aapplicn the
great volume of water that down through
