| OF nine months winter of semi-iark-
ness. when the mercury goes 20 degrees
| below zero?
| 'As TO labor: II Is true that last winter
| the winter succeeding the great strike
men were scarce and wages We're SIS a
day; but if no strike is made what is to
| keep wages up this winter? There are
| about $40 claims on Bonanza, Eldorad do
and Hunker creeks that viii probably be
, worked this winter. An average of eight
men TO each is, 1 think, liberal. If but
200 men are employed, and there are
5000 or more seeking work, what must
be the result? Wages mus, go down.
Il am told that much grub has gone
| over TIED wide, yet from what I know
I would wager my last dollar that not to
exceed 500 tons Of supplies over and
above what the carriers ate will reach
the diggings. No man going in can ar
rive with more than four months sup
ply.
Il am told that there is plenty at St.
Michaels. So there may be, but after
September Is it might as well be in New
York city, for to try to transport it by
dog train or sled over than 1000 miles Of
icy river is absolutely impossible. There
is not, nor will there ever be. dog train
that can take enough in 10 feed itself
over 1900 miles. Relief is, therefore, i'm
possible. Transporting over the divide
in winter would be quite as difficult.
ITO draw provisions for the trip from
Dyea to Dawson any time before the
spring breaks up is an impossibility.
Relief for those caught in the Klondike
after winter sets in is equally impos-
sible, and in the name of humanity 1 ask
that stop be put to this wholesale trans
portation of people without supplies.
Let no man enter that region unless he
carries with him enough food and CLOTH
ing TO last him year.
There are women and little children
in there today who should be sent OUT
as far as ST. Michaels before navigation
closes. I hear much Of the boats that
are building 10 go up the river. but aside
from one steamer ready on August IL,
no new boat can be added to the carry
ing corps this fall.
The klondike is aland Of ice and snow
as we'll as land Of gold. Let it not be
made land Of great hunger, wretched-
ness and death. Let no one be allowed

chances for mining in the future as now.
