Voice That Came In the Night and Saved

Snow, my friend Mr.. So-and-so had
entirely different experiences that convert
ed him." continued the gentleman. Zone
night, many years ago, he and his family
retired. Shortly after midnight he was
awakened by the voice of his dead wife,
who said, Gas, quick He thought it
was imagination and lay awake thinking
about 1T for some time. AS he was doing
of the voice came again, Gas, quick,
quick, with more imperativeness. We'll, ;
thought my friend, as he sat up in bed,
that surely was my wife's voice, but was
just doing off to sleep, and l may have
imagined it. l will stay awake now SO
that'-just then the voice came again with
greater sternness, saying in an imperative
way, Gas, quick, quick, quickp My
friend waited no longer, but jumped from
his bed and rushed TO the rooms on the
second floor where his daughters were
sleeping. There was no gas there
Down stairs he hurried, looked into the
cellar and all about, but no gas was to be
found. He suddenly remembered n newly
arrived Swede girl who came that day to
do housework, who was sleeping on the
third floor. Up stairs he sprang with q
bound, and as he neared the door he de-
tected the gas. He broke into the room
and found it filed with gas. In the still
ness he could hear the heavy, labored
breathing of the girl on the bed.
He saw no time was to be lost. Down
on his knees he got, and keeping his face
as close to the floor as possible, he crawl
ed to the window which he opened. He
then reached for the girl, and catching
her arm, which was hanging over the side
of the bed, pulled her to the floor and
through the open door to the next room,
where restoratives were applied. The girl
was asphyxiated and in Is minutes more
would have been dead. 1t took several
days for her to recover. She had tried the
old experiment of blowing out the gas
with almost fatal results. My friend tells
me that frequently in times of danger the
warning voice of his wife comes to his res

It is asserted there is bright future
for the entire Yukon basin as a mining
region, not only in the auriferous de-
posit, but in the vast leads of quartz
found everywhere.
But the gold and other minerals arc
not the only wealth that has remained
hidden in this ice-bound treasure-box
fo1 ages. The streams contain salmon
and other fish in untold quantities.
Salmon canning, yet uninterrupted on
the Yukon, could be made exceedingly
profitable, and, together with the rich
quartz, would furnish a valuable cargo
for freight boats returning from talk
ing supplies up the river. The annual
output of furs is worth hundreds Of
thousands of dollars, and for years TO
come will continue to be a source of
big revenue to any company giving its
attention to that trade.
The Yukon is the second largest
river in the world, being next to the
Amazon in size. It is 60 miles
wide at its mouth. and at distance of
1900 miles from it's mouth has width
of seven to ten miles. The river is too
shallow for ocean steamers, but is navi-
gable the entire length for fat-bottom
river boats of 400 to 500 tons burden.
The navigable tributaries of the Yukon
are the Lewis, Pelly, Stewart, Tahken-
ma, Hootalinqua, Porcupine, Tannana.
Avik, White, Birch and the Salmon, and
many others, to the extent of several
thousand miles. Prospectors can pene-
trate by boat the most remote parts of
the gold fields without hardships, get
supplies without fail, work during the
entire mining season, and coming out
at the close of the summer spend their
winter in milder climates. All this viii
be made possible by the line of boats
now in contemplation.
Until two years ago comparatively
few miners ever visited this region OF
wealth where nature had been SO
lavish. In 1893 about 800 men went;
IN 1894, 600 entered, and last year
over 5000. If proper transportation
facilities are furnished and made
known in 1896 10000 probably would
he a low estimate of the number that
will seek riches in this new country.
The movement toward the coast, on
the way Of their long journey. would
remind the Californians of 40.

Vast Auriferous Deposits in the
Yukon River Country.
Formation of New Transportation Com
pany Which VIII Make the Territory
Accessible to Miners and Pros
pectors-A Miners Story.
Especial Chicago letter.

Capt. u. M. Swain, master Of the
steamer Borealis Rex, which plies on
the Illinois river, is interested in a COM
pany which will operate line of
steamers on the Yukon river, Alaska,
to the gold fields. The route from
Seattle, Wash, to Juneau, Alaska, is
now covered by the vessels of the
Pacific Coast Steamship company.
From Juneau the Yukon Transporta-
ton company will have two separate
routes to Circle City, the objective
point. The freight route, by way of
the Berhing sea and mouth of the Yu-
kon, is 4,7sO miles; the passenger route
by way of the Chilkoot pass and the
source of the Yukon is 2,O93-the dis
tances computed from Seattle.
This enterprise is advanced to facil-
itate traffic into the gold regions of
the far north. Intercourse with
miners who have made their fortunes
in the Yukon country first drew Mr..
SWANS attention to this field. and he
is much interested in it's resources
and possibilities, and has made Il
thorough study of the country. He is
assured of the navigability of the Yu-
AOA anu us anu says IL
transportation facilities for passen-
gers and supplies are made adequate
and rapid, the country will develop
wonderfully.
Alaska contains $4,000 square miles
and has an extent of over 1000 miles
north and south and over 1000 miles
east and west. A range of high
mountains parallel with the Pacific
coast, about 60 miles inland, divides the
country into two unequal parts-the
narrow coast strip, which has a mild,
moist climate, and the interior Yukon
basin where humidity is an unknown
quality. Zero weather makes one less
uncomfortable than 40 degrees above
zero in the central states. The coast
distinct is easily accessible, being
reached at all seasons of the year by
ocean vessels, and is well known, be-
: ing visited by many tourists. The Yu-
Ion river basin is accessible less than
