DON'T GET ExcITED.-Let us look
at the glowing reports that come from
Klondyke just as we would at any
other business proposition. If the
district is rich as reported and there
are so many on the ground who have
struck nothing compared with the
number OF lucky ones, would it not
stand to reason that the selfish nature
of mankind would endeavor to discour-
age, rather than invite, competition
in the scramble for gold? Instead of
this we find the most glowing accounts
sent out-not as pointers to friends,
but as an incentive to the general pub
lie to rush in and make the chances of
success rarer for those who are there.
Then the intimation appears in every
report that success has been attained
almost exclusively by inexperienced
men, notwithstanding there are many
seekers for gold who have had ample
experience and long been in search OF
the precious metal in that country,
which statement is calculated to estab-
lish the belief that only the few paltry
dollars to be paid the steamship COM
panies for passage stand between the
guileless fly and the honey-pot in the
distance. And when he is told so
often in the reports sent out from the
new district that no tenderfoot can
expect to compete in the scramble
with less than $500 to spend for a
"grubstake," the impression invariably
comes "o'er the memory stealing
that there must be an occasional
spider sitting at the border of the
web who has grubstakes for sale. This
may or may not be true; but the sug-
gestion should impel a sober second
thought, before making a venture,
which is, at best, about as sure of re-
suits as lottery.
