San Francisco, Cal., August 21-- A letter from the head of Lake Bennett states that Frank Slavin, the heavyweight pugilist, is lost in the wilds of the Northwest. On August 5 Slavin started back alone from the lake to the summit of Chilkoot Pass to find a number of articles lost from his pack. Up to August 9, the date of the letter, nothing had been heard from him and grave fears for his safety were entertained.
