LATEST ‘NEWS FROM THE KLON- DYKE TRAIL.
By Joaquin’ Miller in New Yerk Journal.
Drea, ALaska,July 31,via San Francisco
Here we are at last ; the only naviga:— jon beyond this isa few miles canoeing, and no canoe at this time, or Indians to paddle them. But let vs look back at the last landing, Skaguay, five miles back as the crow flies. .There is congestion i there, acese of aggregate pneumcnia, s0 to speak, for the new pass 18 no pass at all, or at least is not open at the other end.
A big steamer made the first landing i. a few days before us, and left about 20 mivers, along with almost as many tons of freight ; also some horses. It now tures out that the trail is noi open. All sorts of stories are efloa.. We had on our steamer much freig and many miners, ts well as horses aud dogs. It would seem ihat the cew tral was advertised as open by ite pro: ierors son ~ vveeksalo. It no* appears that t e surveyors of the trail only landed here last week.

The situation along here is dramatic— comedy is here today, plenty of it. There possibly may be tragedy, but I think no- thing of the sort will happen. The men of Skaguay must get through, and they are of the sort that will if they must. ,
Fortunately we have the finest weather in the world. But this is not California climate. We may have raia and rain and rain almost any day. And I hear that ths trail—the one and only open trail—i muddy to the knees. However, you can hear almost anything. The onlv
it aad
way is to pick up your pack and go ahead, and than you will really aud truly know, and
than only.
We were a long time landing away out in the water, for there ia no wharf at Skaguay. We had to boat off all the stuff and let the horses down on a raft in boxes witha block and tackle. Strange to say, we have landed both here and at Dyea hundreds of little sheet iron stoves, and we landed rubber goods by tons and tons,
DYEA’S SUBLIMELY GRAXD SCENERY,
Dyea is a long low marsh, lying between vhe snow-covered walls of grantie. The marsh is almost half a mile wide: trees of a good size fill the gorge a little farther up aod away from the bay aud marsh, but the trees all along bere, asa rule, are small, no larger than a leg or arm, and almost half of them are dead or dying. If one cared to look on the gray side of the situation he might easily write of tne location and all the land about “the abom- ination of desolation.” But, on the con- trary, the scene is grand, grand, and the air is sweet, healthful and invigorating 4s wine. ‘The heaven’s breath smells woo- ingly here.
You never saw snow s0 white anvwhere as here. “White as snow, whiter than anv fuller can whiten.’ This is because this is a load of granire; no dust in the air as in California or Colurado, no tall trees to scatter bits of bark aud ‘eaves and gass through the air and over the suow. One constaatly thinks of the transfiguration all a'ong this jaud of whiteness and blue,; white clouds, while snow, blue seas and blue skies. Heavens’ had [I but years to live here and lay my hands upon this coel- or, this fearful and wonderful garment of the most high God!
PACKS COMING UP IN BOATS.
Hello, there comes tne porter in a big boat with a lotof packs, mine amoug them; a big, long white chest bag, just like the 49ers had of old, only they did not look so white. We are sitting on a rim of rocks that nang under the great fall of granite on the edge of the water, waiing
fur our stuff. The boats dot the bay. Tbey have been busy all night, all day axl all yesterday. The “town,” a store
aud po-t office, lies half a mile away from the laoding.
{ thank you, jolly porter. Hea-’s a riece of white money in exchange fo’ yoo- der pretty white bag. Lord, but wont, I sit on this long, white bag of blaakets, bacon, sea biscuit, boots, comb, tocth- brushes mamscript and poems of their infancy. Be fore I get through yonder ball of clouds, won’t I wish, my$big fat bag, (hat you were not quite so lanky to look upon. Ab, no, Ll an now afraid. My heart is full and glad of this scene, this chance to be with the strong, young fellows, this new generation; for ali my old friends of the old California, Idaho and Montana davs are dead or laid up for repairs, and I’m the oldeat, in experience, at least, if not in years, of all she bold fellows about me along here.

atthe beginning of these letters, | may mention that we were exactly six days frum Seattle to this end of navigacion, had
to wait litcle bere and there for the tide to surge tsrough the straits, for in places the tide is (00 strong to stem safely. The cost about $50. You can make it less, but you want. Ifin the cabin and you have coin at hand you will far more like- ly make it more. Butif yon leave cigars and all sorts of drinks, as I have, you can do very wellon $50 forthe s'x days and !.ve likea lord, tor the table is splendid; can’t be beat by any table on land. Soup, fish, fowl, all sorts of game.
I have been, or will have been, just two weeks on the trip fromm Ban Francisco to this point to-morrow. But the fact 1s three days were wasisd in missing a sieam- er | could have been, and shouid have

things are new, and do not quite work like clock as yet. Tea days and $50 is the Cheapest in time or money thatthe irip from Ssn Francisco to the foot of the mountains can be made. Take a first-class ticket and spena $100 andtwo weeks’ time and you will be, and feel, all the better fur itas vou shoulder your pack for the pass. You can’t put the extra dolars and the extra days to better advantage anywhere this -side your fina! camp if you have them. LOOK OUT FOR THE “ CONTINUER.”
It is nearly 700 miles to the next post office. The time is said to be almost six weeks, We will du the best we canto send letters back as we go forward. I say “we,” because I have about found a “continuer.” If it erystaliizes and takes solid form as we go forward, you shall hear more about it. J cameto :ake the trip alone all tne way, but, of course, Tam not huating for either hardships or isolation. AsI said at the outset, if better things than a pack on my back up the steeps alone and a little raft down the river alone present themselves, I shall gladly accept them.
I have beenalone this far; and it is alleasy enough on the cars or ship, however; but when one man alone has to build the camp fices, cat the wood, cook, wait ou the table and be bell boy, elevator boy, night clerk and day clerk and even cbambermaid, all im one, it may be a bit lonesome ; noton!y that, but it 1s “taxation without representation.” I merely wante- ed to show that it could be done as of o'd, but, as ef old, { guess [ have “pondners.” We shall see as we go forward.
No news vet from the gold fields ahead. If we meet anything of the sort you shall have it if it is a bit reliable,
The postman on his way to the mines alone, has set ont up the pass and over
the mountains of snow at Skaguay, the landing place five miles away. He will cross alone. So you see there is no need
of my deing it to prove it can be done, and to prove the saying that tne Klondyke is no place | for @ poor man.
