OLoNDYKE NECESSITIES.

The following estimate of necessities
 for one person who proposes to go into 1 the Alaskan gold fields for eighteen
 months, is published by the San Fran
 cisco Examiner and Is made by ex- perienced miners in those northern
 regions:
 "Baoop 200 pounds; four, 800 pounds;
 assorted drisd fruits. 15o pounds; corn
 meal, 200 pounds; rice, 50 pounds; cof-
 fee (psrched) 75 pounds beans, 15O
 pounds; tee, 40 pounds; sugar 75 pounds; condensed milk, 1 case; assortment of evapoFated vegetables and meats; two suits of corduroy; three pairs rubber
 boots, three pairs heavy shoes. two dog. heavy woolen socks, halfdozsn wooien mitss. three pairs wooien gloves, three suits heavy underwear, two suits mac- kinaw, two hats, four heavy lwoolen shirts. one heavy coat three pairs heavy woolen blankets.
 The outfs will cost about $175. Transportation via steamer to Clon- dyke, Sl50.or via Juneau and Dyes, $40. If by the latter route the carriage from salt wster to Lake Lindermen, 8 dis tsncs of thirty-one miles, say for one snd a half tons, at 15 cents per pound would be S450; boat to Lake Linde- man, 560; miscellaneous, $25; total S75O. Conservatively that is fair estime ate of the requirements of a man who ex- peots to remain on the Yukon eighteen months. There are several other incl dental expenses which might be incur ed, OF the amount of supplies might be cuPbsiled to 8 slight extent. These were gwen by experienced miners who have wintered in the north end know what they are taking about Ia making purchases it Is well to ob- serve the suggestion that the very best that cen bs purchased are none too good and will more than repay the purchaser in the long run"

THE country is to be congratulated ths she House eonferees had their way abou the importans schedules of the tarif bill; also the RsE u biican party, and the result is largely due to the practical un aomity of the Republican press in de. clariog the House schsd nles to be pre- ferable to those of the Senate. This was especially true of the sugar sched- uls, the most oublesome of them all. To have agreed to the Senate schedule would hsve furnished the opponents of the Repu blican party with great deal of campaign material without siding any American industry or adding to she revenues of the Government This fact was fully recognized by Speaker Reed aud the Republican members of the House, and too much cFedis capnot be given them for tskipg the stand that the Senate schedule would, under no croumstance,be agree d so by the House. Qaite number of Republican Senators also assisted in the good work by con- demnIng the Senate sugar schedule.

 "Now, word to all these people who are getting ready to rush of to Alaska just now. The man who starts from here on the 1ss of March, 1898, will be as far advanced on the 1et of April 1908 so far es the Olondyke diRgings are con- cerned, as the man who starts today. And the man who sterss next March will live hsre for $50 month in com fort during the winter, while the man who starts for Alaska now will pay $5 a day for poor grub, have no chance to earn a cent, suffer from cold ard storms, and next April be ready to work for the man who waited until next March to start.
