Mr.. Frank p. Martin, who Is engaged

where he is well and favorably known,
was a victim of that worst form OF DIS
ease-contagious blood poison. he

despair can better be imagined than

TO GET THERE.
The Ordinary method Of getting 70 the
Yukon country Is by crossing the chill
koot Pass, from Juneau, down the Lewes
and Yukon rivers, TO the gold districts.
The usual time for starting IS in April,
and large part Of the Journey IS made
,v6r ice which fills the lakes and rivers
IL this time Of the year. BY this early
itarting a large part OF the season avail
,ble for working is obtained. Not every
.omer can frd new diggings which are
profitable. and many Of them are siad
to work for wages. -
The ordinary wages in summer are SlO
ner day. but sixty days is considered about
the average number for summer work, SO
that the total earnings are not 50 great
as will appear as first sight; ana the
prospects for work are slight during the
remainder of the year. The journey over
the pass and down the Yukon is one OF
GREAT difficulty and hardships. especially
as all supplies have TO be carried along.
the pass Itself is difficult to cross, the
lakes are subject TO violent gales ana
there are a number OF very dangerous
rapids once in the country, the new
conner finds himself no more comfortable.
During the summer season. when the
DAYS sometimes are really hot there are
swarms of mosquitoes and gnats. which
have not their equal in the world, and
which are enough alone to discourage
