beans, 100 pounds of bacon, 100 pounds
of sugar, 10 pounds of tea, 30 pounds of
coffee, 100 pounds of dried fruit, salt,
pepper and cooking utensils. The whole

cost at least $15 pound to get it to

supplies will have cost him much less

camp, and he will be insured against

The mining in the Klondike region is
all placer mining. Gold is found in the
bed of the creek, or what was creek
ages ago. Now it is gravel frozen as
hard as asphalt. 1t is not On the surface
either The way the Klondike prospect
or goes about his work is not an easy
one. He builds big bonfire over a
likely spot and let's it burn all night.
In the morning the ground has been
thawed so that he can dig down couple
of feet. Then he repeats the operation
until he sinks hole about / 5 feet deep.
If he has not struck pay dirt in that
time, he gives it up.
But most of them do strike gravel
that is full of gold. Then they go on
thawing and digging until they get
down to bedrock, where the nuggets
are the thickest. This kind of work is
something for which no one but a strong
man is fitted for. A weakling could not
stand it,
All last winter the Klondike miners
worked i'll this manner, although the
thermometer often stood at 80 and 40
degrees below zero. When they cleaned
up their gravel, they reaped rich re-
ward. Half ounce and ounce nuggets
were plenty, and the dirt was rich in
smaller particles down to fine dust
One of the luckiest men who have come
back from Dawson City is Clarence Ber-
ry. Last winter he took cut of his claim
80 "box lengths of dirt, box length
being IL by 10 feet. Out of this dirt he
took $3.50, 900 worth of gold. In one
length he found SO, 900 worth of pre-
cious metal. His largest nugget weighed
10 ounces and was worth 1891.
These are few facts about the Klon-
dixie region. In month or two the
miners will again be shut in for the
winter, and next spring we may hear
more such stories, for it is claimed that
the fields of this frozen Eldorado hold
millions more of virgin gold, awaiting
only the pick and shovel of the hardy
and daring argonaut.

Miss Weston, Known as Mother of the
British BIuejackets.
Thirty years of earnest and conscien-
tious endeavor have gained for Miss Ag-
mes Weston ler title of mother of Brit
ish bluejackets. During that time she
has tried to make the British sailor a
more temperate tar and better man all
round.
Miss Weston is the daughter of Lon
don lawyer, and early in life she decid-
ed to devote her time and energy to the
uplifting of Jack Tar. Her success has
been most notable. She did not go about
her work by singing hymns, preaching
or distributing tracts. At Portsmouth
and Davenport, two of England's great
shipping centers, she established what
she calls sailors rests" These places
are the brightest, cleanest and best ven
tilated restaurants in England, and
thousands of British sailors have come
to regard them as sunshiny spots on an
otherwise dismal waste of shore. There
are no gospel notices on the walls to
make him feel out Of place, and the
services which are conducted in the ad-
joining halls are of such a cheerful,
simple nature that Jack usually enjoys
the daily meetings, while they often in

dixie region. This is the summer route.
Il takes from six to seven weeks to
make the trip and costs from $3.50 to
5000 in fares.
This is the most comfortable route,
but it is also the longest and most ex-
pensive. Then there are other features.
The worst of these is that the Yukon is
generally frozen over solid by the 10th
of September and is not open for navi-
CATION until along in April Then the
transportation facilities are limited.
The two steamers which will leave be-
tween now and the close of navigation
cannot accommodate more than so peo-
pie, and these limited passages have all
been engaged. Passengers are allowed
to carry only $50 pounds of baggage
each, and this barely covers the weight
of an outfit, leaving provisions to be
purchased in the mining camp at almost
prohibitive prices
The other route is by way of juneau,
over the dreaded Chilkat pass juneau
is in the very southern part of Alaska,
and from there the route is overland
and by way of inland waters for $50
miles. Part of this distance must be
made on foot. All baggage must be car
ried by pack mules or "toted" by Indi.
ans. One of the most dangerous places
on the route is White Horse rapids. At
this passage many poor miner has lost
not only all his poor effects, but his life
as we'll.
Klondike itself takes its name from
small tributary of the Yukon. The first
shanty was erected there over year
ago, so its civilization is even cruder
than that of Circle City. which up to
last fall was the principal settlement in
the Yukon. Both Circle City and Forty
Mile are now practically deserted. the
miners having abandoned their claims
and flocked over the British border
when the news of the rich finds on the
Klondike became known.
There are few houses in this booming
bonanza town of the arctics Tents have
to suffice where lumber costs from $500
to $500 thousand feet. Dawson City
now has population Of about 5000,
and probably 1900 more people will find
their way in before the winter sets in
and bars the gates. Returned miners
agree that no man should 60 into the
Klondike region unless he has at least
$500 capital 70 start with. Even with
this amount he can only hope to live
there year and work for wages. If he
wants to buy claim or work one, he
should have not less than So, 900.
1t is folly for man to so to Dawson
City without taking with him supplies
for at least eight months. A man who
has been there and has learned by ex-
perience tells what these provisions
should be. "He should have 400 pounds

Head of n Naughty Hungarian House
Wants to Wed Her.
Prince Esterhazy de Galantha, whose
admiration for Mrs. Langtry has long
been the gossip of the European CAPT
tails, and who is now said to be anxious
TO make her his wife, is certainly old
enough to know better. He is "a and has
had two previous matrimonial expert
ences. Both of his wives are dead, how
ever, and he is entirely free to try it
again if he chooses.
In the eyes of the continental aristo-
Gratis, however, this match would be a
serious misalliance, for the prince is at
the head of one of the most ancient and
illustrious houses of Europe, the mem
bers of which claim an unbroken descent
from Attila, king of the Huns. The De
Galanthas, moreover, are regarded as
the most exclusive of all the Hungarian
mobility, noted the world over for that
very trait

name, is a very wealthy man and one
