On to the Klondyke! But dOr't start
at once. 1t is already too late to go
| into the goldfields this season, and the
earliest practicable start you can make
from Juneau, Alaska which is over l.,
900 miles from Dawson City, which is
on the Klondyke river in British terri
tory, will be the middle of next MIrch.
If you start then, you must take WHIT
is called "the poor mans route" whit h
! lies overland from Juneau, across icy
mountains, inland waters and barren
wastes to the headwaters Of. the Yukon.
The other way is an all-water route.
You take an ocean steamer to St.
MichaePs island at the mouth of the
Yukon and go up the great stream on
river boats. But this route is very ex-
pensive, and as navigation in the Yu-
kon does not open until we'll along in
the spring it will of course not be used
by those in a hurry to get to the mines.
Those who penetrate into the ice and
snow must be rugged and hardy. They
must be able to endure the pains OF
dangerous travel and the chances that
fortune brings. They must have money
and courage, and even then they will
take their lives in their hands as they
travel over mountains, into canyons,
across dreary wastes of snow and down
treacherous streams to the mines. AS
one travels his perilous way he must
carry his own outfit and provisions. II
fortune does not favor the prospector,
he will find himself in a desOlate re-
gion. where those who have food to
sell will sell only at fabulous prices for
cash.
The route taken by 50 per cent. OF
the prospectors is by steamer to Juneau
and thence inland. When the miner
leaves Juneau, a town of 1000 lnhab-
itants, he leaves everything but his
own resources and self reliance behind.
He may purchase his outfit where he
pleases, but if he buys it at Juneau 1t
will cost him from $50 to $3.50. The
fare from Juneau to Dyea, distance
of 100 miles, is from S. to $40. The
distance is made by steamer, the trav-
eler passing Haines Mission, or Chill
koot on the way.
Al Dycd, Will 10 at hAAO hSe~O VI
Chilkoot inlet, the prospector leaves
the last vestige of civilization behind.
He shoulders his pack, hires his pack
train and starts for the snow-coyered
mountains. Experience has proved that
the best time to start is in the middle
of March Those who know urge that
prospectors go in parties of four or five,
for in these numbers they may tighten
their burdens and economic in ma
terials that all may use in common.
This is of the greatest Importance, for
it costs IA cents a pound to hire ma
tives to carry provisions from Dyea to
the head of Lake Lindemann, one OF
the worst stages of the route. The
way is over a desolate, wild, noun |
famous country to the summit of Chill |
koot pass. Part of the journey may |
be made by canoe, but most of it is on |
foot or in sleighs. The distance be- |
tween the two points is only % miles, |
but three days must pass before it is |
traversed. One member of the pros |
pecting party should know something |
about bodybuilding.
