GOING TO THE KLoNDYKE.
The Commissioner of Labor to Send
an Expert.


Recognizing the Importance of the recent
gold discoveries in Alaska and adjoining
territ, ry and in obedience to the wide
spread demand for authentic information in
regard thereto, the commissioner of labor
has detailed from his regular force an ex-
pert. thoroughly familiar with all the feat
ures Of gold mining, to proceed Immediately
to the Klondyke, for the purpose of max
ing careful and exhaustive study of the
conditions as they exist there. 1t is the
intention Of the commissioner to embody
the facts in a special report or bulletin of
the department, which will appear at as
early date as possible. This is a subject
OF absorbing interest to all classes, and IN
making this investigation the commissioner
feels that he is working in the interest OF
the unemployed. Such a report as that
contemplated, giving the unbiased facts as
to the opportunities for the investment of
capital and the employment Of labor
wages, cost of living, etc, will be of great
value to the people of this country.

l.. F. Rowell, assistant manager of the
company, said today that nothing would be
gained by establishing office earlier than
that. The present rate of tranSporta ton
FOR gold from Seattle to San Francisco is
- thousand, and s. from Seattle to Phil
