If any one is missed from one OF the
numerous camps, information is always
carried to the nearest mission, from
which a searching party, consisting
mostly Of Christianized. Indians, is
sent out, and If the body is found with
in reasonable distance, it is carried
back to the mission. If too far away,
hole is burned in the ground, and the
body inferred where found.
The death rate is generally highest
in the spring, when many lose their lives
in The attempt to make their way up
or down one OF the overfilled streams.
The bodies Of the many who perish in
this manner are seldomlfound, although
as many as fifteen have been known to
lose their lives in this way in one sea-
son.
With the exception of those at the
mission stations or scattered trading
posts, there are no regular graveyards,

with cross, others with fence made

seasoned and ready for the hot water
A sausage.like affair, not as large al
frankfurter, and made of pea meal, fol
and bacon, makes twelve plates O
nutritious soup. This has been uset
in the German army for nearly thirty
years, its efficacy being determined dur
ing the Franco German war, when the
German soldiers on their quick marches
in the enemy's country, had little else
to eat.
Mince pie, plum pudding, apple
dumplings and kindred delicacies are
also to be had in forms not larger or
heavier than silver quarter. But
this is not the kind Of food that the
genius proposes TO put up in the miners
kit. He is going to use the substan-
tials only, and prepare his proyender on
the lines of that used in the army.
One of the essentials will be desic-
Gated beef, an ounce Of which isequiv-
alent to five ounces of fresh meat. 1t
is put up In hard lillle. .chunks-so hard
that an ordinary knife makes little
headway against it. A tiny machine
like coffee mill grinds it into fine
shaviUgs, which can be spread on
bread or used for soup making.
A loaf of bread is compressed into
a mass not much bigger than a soda
cracker. When soaked in water it
swells up like a sponge, and when
dried out makes very fair eating. A
loaf OF the same size is composed of q
preparation Of flour, beef, fat and salt
and contains all the essentials of q
plain but hearty meal. This is some
what similar to the pemmican ra ion
used in the British army.
Ten pounds of onions, carrots, pota.
toes, turnips, cabbage or any other
vegetable, are, by the condensing pro-
cess, crowded into one pound cans, and
for soup-making purposes are said to
be excellent.
The man who counts upon being q
millionaire through his scheme does
not expect to do anything this season,
as the time for leaving for Klondike is
practically over. Heexpects, however,
to be in shape to launch his project
early next spring, when the first stea-
mer sails and when the food supply in
the mining districts is practically ex.

carefully in his light craft, diyed into
the river. It seemed an age, but was
very few seconds in reality, before he
caught sight of the object of his search,
and then the matter was easy. Another
boat bad arrived on the scene, and the
launch, too, had slowed down so that
within a minute both Jim and the
object of his rescue had been safely
hauled out of the water, and were
making for Henley as fastas the launch
could take them, needless Of the drip
