saloon, the gambling hall, the dance
hall assume a very different appear
ance than they had in the East, and
one feels not at all squeamish about
visiting them. One can hardly blame
tho miner for II Is about the only way
the majority have opportunity to break
the monotony of existence.
The one solace and refuge for the good
women at Dawson-and they are not
many-is the exchange OF social visits.
Elements that would never have mixed
in the wide world in the East show no
combatve disposition in the Klondike.
One rarely hears that too-frequent ex-
clamation in civilization: She's not my
kind OF woman" So long as she Is
respectable no kind OF a woman objects
20 another kind. and thus it is that the
feminine population OF respectable Daw-
son never quarrel.
There Is one piano In Dawson--just one.
The woman who owns II has been given
the title of the Queen of Dawson City,
just because she does own II, and for
nothing else in the world. One man has
a violin. and plays 1t in the most charm
ing way. He happens 10 be the husband
OF the woman with the piano, and so the
family is extensively cultivated. That
Is the social life Of Dawson. The choice
is limited.
II must not be supposed that all labor
is suspended by the miners. The ground
freezes to a depth OF 20 feet often:lmes.
but fire Is called In to the assistance OF
the prospector. Huge bonhres are built
on many a claim, and In this way a
shaft is sunk to bedrock, for as the
ground softens under the influence Of the
heat 1t Is dug up. When bedrock Is
reached, II a pan Of gravel washed out
with water from melted snow shows up
rich, the claim is worked by tunnellng
To do this dry wood is piled against the
place and other pieces are placed slant
wise over them. AS the fire burns the
gravel falls down from above and gradu-
ally covers the slanting sticks of wood.
The fire shoulders away and becomes
charcoal. 1t is when 1t reaches this con-
fined stage during the night that the heat
is most effective against the face &c the
drift. The next day the miner finds the
face of his drift thawed out from 10 10 IL
inches, and il only part Is pay dirt he
puts only that In his dump. Thus at the
rate Of a few inches day the drifting
out Of the precious gravel goes on.
Those who have not succeeded In reach
irg the Kiondike In time to winter there
should. IL will be seen from the facts
stated, congratulate themselves. There
is no Joy In wintering In country where
the mercury frequently drops to 90 de-
grees below zero.

course this includes provisions for the
winter. but they have to eat, these peo-
pie, and the spring will see them with
nothing to eat and no money to buy any
thing.
As to the people in Dawson and Skagua,
they will have to be a little world 10
themselves, for not word Will they
hear from this part Of the country.
Whatever happens in the United states
after the 10th of September will never
reach their ears until the following spring.
| think few, In fact l know that very few,
realize what a winter In the kiondike
will really mean. Think of all these
peopie-ten thousand OF them-the greater
percentage of whom have never expert
enced hardship, existing In fiea-rldden
habitations through an Arctic winter,
with nothing 10 read but what they
brought in as part Of their outfit, and no
place to so except the dance halls or
saloons.
Not a cheerful prospect, but that is
exactly what will be the situation. stu
they will manage 10 get along after a
fashion. The residents of Dawson City
are amenabie to the ways and methods
OF civilized life. and, l am free TO say,
differ materially from those who dwell
IN huts In the surrounding mining camps.
Naturally, the mining population Is n
mixed one, representing many nationals
ties. The miners cabins are l2xl4 feet,
with walls feet high and gables feet
high. The roof is heavily earthed and
the cabin usually warm. From three
TO four men usually live in each cottage.
so IL can be seen rather close quarters
are the rule.

find that school teaching Is q very great

then she can have as big a school or

The social life in Dawson consists or
