Lake Bennett, Sept. z, 1871 wrote
you long letter yesterday and left it
in Denham'S care, to be sent out from
Lake Linderman. Possibly this letter
may reach you first. If SO, you will
know that the other will come to hand
in due time, and will contain all the
news since the I'd inst.
II cannot write much now. Just as
I got out of the boat to make the port

tographer took a picture of the lake

upon my back and a bucket in my

gave him a dollar to send copy
home, and if he does not send the right
one you can order the one taken at the
foot of Lake Linderman. I am feeling
fine, and start out tomorrow at D
a. m. for Dawson.
Word has just reached me that
White and Falkenberg had to give up
and go back home. Poor fellows! They
tried hard enough to get through. Word
has come that two of our war vessels
have arrived at head of navigation
If it was known positively to be true,
I believe half the crowd would turn
back to reach them. We have a good
boat. and if we have favorable winds
will reach Dawson all right.

MINERS TO BE MULCTED
CANADA DETERMINED TO LEVY A
HEAVY TAX ON KLONDIKE GOLD.
An EXorbitant Royalty to Be Exacted
from DiSGers-TeIegraph Line from
the Head of Lynn Canal.

OTTAWA, Ont, Aug. 14.--The Cabinet
ministers, at the last council held this week,
discussed briefly the all-absorbing topic of
the Yukon administration, AS previously
announced, the minister of the interior Of
fered the post of administrator of the dis
trict to Major Walsh, late of the Northwest
mounted police, an officer possessing Valu-
able frontier experience. Major Walsh ac-
cepted the offer and the Cabinet passed an
order confirming his appointment. He will
accordingly leave for the Yukon IL about
three weeks. There We're important changes
in the mining regulations to be dealt with.
Protests against the eXorbitant royalty i'm
posed by the new regulations have of late
been coming in to the government, but it
was decided to disregard for the present
all such protests against the royalty clause
and await the gold commissioners report
on it's practicability. The change from 800
to 100 feet frontage in creek claims was
confirmed. and in view of this reduction it
was decided also to reduce the annual re-
newal fee from 500 to SIS.
The new regulations, as amended, to gov
ern the placer mining in the Canadian
Yukon district will at once be sent up from
Victoria, b. c., and with them will go the
advance guard of the men who are to carry
the law into effect. 1t is expected that the
telegraph line from the head of the Lynn
canal to the KlOndike can be built before
the winter fully sets in, and in addition
to the communication thus established with
the interior there will be monthly dog
trains going right through from the Pacific
coast. 1t is stated upon undoubted author
ity that the Dominion government cOntem-
plates expanding fully $250000 if found nee
eSsary this year upon the development of
the Yukon, the population of which is ex-
pected to exceed 10000 souls by the opening

Dollar Wheat.

st. Paul, Nov. lin an interview
today Oliver Dalrymple, the bonanza
farm said, when the early crop of
wheat once gets out of the farmers
hands, after the holidays, it is likely
to bring a decided better price. Yes,
the price would be moro than a dollar
a bushel. And never has there been a
better outlook at this time of the year
for higher prices than during the fol-
lowing season. 1898 will be a wear of
high priced wheat"
"There is certainly a shortage in the
wheat supplies at the present time,"
continued MI. Dalrymple, sand the
concensus of opinion is that the winter
wheat will turn out less than an
average crop mex spring. Until then
all we "a depend upon are the coun-
tries south of the equator, They didn't
supply much wheat during the last
twelve months and it will be surpris.
ing if they do much better this winter
At any rate, other countries don't fix
the worlds supply. The United States
and Russia are the main factors
Russia's spring wheat, for she has both
kinds, may prove better than ours, anc
again it may not. But the whole
prospect is that wheat will pass the
dollar mark before long"
