During the past few weeks the POST

States. and even from Europe. asking for
information about the klondike, and es-
pacially with reference 10 Quitting and
the means to get there. and letters are
still coming at the rate of seventy-fivs to
80 day to this office alone. Nearly ev-
cry banker and merchant and almost
every citizen has received similar In
quiries, and the task of answering them
satisfactorily is considerable. Recognize
Ing the advantage Of this correspondence.
the Post-Intelilgencer has not shrunk
from it's duty 20 Seattle, and has diligens-
~ sought 70 answer every question. One
man has been kept constantly engaged
