kon) steamer, after delay of few
days, which is fat-bottomed and which
reaches Dawson City at the mouth of
the Klondykc river in Is to 20 days.
But-and this is very important but"
unless the traveller lands at ST.
Michaels not later than August rs he
stands a good chance tor a bad ono
rather) of finding the Yukon closed by
ice. In that case he can choose between
spending the eight winter months on
the bleak sea coast of ST. Michaels or of
walking 1000 miles on the Yukon to thu
mines as soon as the river is frozen
over. In this case he will require a
pack of Indian dogs and one or two In
dian bipeds to make the journey.
The Juneau route is the other way to
the klondyke. 1t is more direct and
1000 miles shorter than the ocean
route, but can be taken best in the VIM
ter and only by men Injured to hard
ships. In this case, too, Seattle is the
starting point. A coastwIse steamer
takes the traveller to Juneau, 900 miles,
where the outfit can be purchased.
From Juneau to Dyea is another 100
miles, then two trips taking eight 10
ten days. AT Dyea the Chilkat indians
can be engaged to assist the traveller
over Chilkat pass--and having safely
crossed it he must build boat TO navi-
gate the lakes and streams. beca use he
has a journey of about 700 miles to
reach the mines after leaving Chilkat.
In the winter the boat gives place to
snowshoes and the dog sled.
AS we have said, this direct course is
only for stalwarts, but indeed none else
should think of going to the Klondyke
and the fatigue and hardships of such
a journey will test even their best en-
ergies.
The expense of the trip is also worthy
of consideration. On the ocean route
the fare from Chicago to Circle City,
the nearest point to the Klondyke. is
about $3.50. But the cost of freight on
the Yukon from the ocean to. the mines
may be calculated at IS cents per pound,
and as the prospective miner will re-
quire one years provisions, which. with
tools, etc., will weigh one ton. this item
will be an expensive one. In other
words, the cost of getting there" ready
TO work will involve an outlay of about
$1,000. That there is abundance of gold
is certain, and stout-hearted men can
get it, but it takes such TO fill the neces
sary conditions.

it is said that those who have become
accustomed to living within the frigid
zone find that life in the temperate re-
gions is not as comfortable.
Alaska has a summer, short, close,
muggy and uncomfortable. Those who
have tried both say that they prefer
the winter. During the winter the sun
is invisible for many weeks, it's place
being in measure supplied by the
flashing splendor of the Aurora Borealis
and the marvellous brilliancy of the
stars. When the sun returns to warm
the frozen earth the daylight lasts for

The Yukon is one of the greatest
rivers in the world, and is said to be
longer than the Mississippi. While it
has not been thoroughly explored so
far it is known to be nayigable for large
steamers for at least $500 miles. The
Yukon and its numerous tributaries
swarm with fish, no finer salmon in the
world than the Alaska variety. and in
the dead of winter one has only to pick
a hole in the icy covering OF rivers or
lakes to get an abundance of good,
large fish. Beside fish the miner and
traveller can often get shot at a moose,
and bear meat is to he had in the tim
