until this is actually done the gold
seeker would do well not to intrusi
himself to the uncertainties of those
routes.
Undoubtedly the most comfortable
and easy way to reach the Yukon mines
is by steamer from one of the Pacific
coast ports to the mouth of the Yukon,
at st. Michaels. and thence by light
river steamers up the stream, the dis
lance up the river being 1922 miles to
Circle City, and l,772 to Dawson City.
The trouble with this route is that the
river is navigable only three months in
the year, and then only by small river
steamers, because of frequent bars. The
ice breaks up about the Goth OF June
and forms again about the same time
in September. There are now several
steamers on the river belonging to the
Alaska Commercial Company and the
North American Transportation and
| Trading Company, both Of which have
/ trading posts on the river, with head
quarters at st. Michaels. Both com
panies are building several new vessels
Tor next years traffic.
The outlook for this route next sum
mer is that the number of steamers on
the river will be utterly inadequate to
accommodate the persons who will be
landed by thousands at ST. Mchaels by
steamers and sailing vessels, though
there are numerous projects on foot for
building steamers on the river in the
spring or towing them thither. As
every vessel on the river will probably
run in connection with some regular
ocean line, and as the Probabilities are
that the ocean liners will carry more
passengers and freight than the river
steamers can handle, it would seem as
though the only persons who will stand
any show of getting through to Dawson
by this route will be those who pur-
chase through passage from the starting
point to their destination for them
selves and supplies. Those who pay
passage only to st. Michaels, or who
reach that point by Independent steam
ers or vessels. will probably be unable
to proceed any further. NOtwithstand-
ing this promises to be the condition
of affairs next summer, there will
doubtless thousands of men take pass
age in all kinds of craft for st. Mich
aels, without providing means for get
ting beyond that point. Much dissp-
pointment is in store for many on tn il
score Yet it may not be an unmixed
evil, as it may lead to an invasion OF
the region OF the lower Yukon and the
country around Kotzbue sound, whele
rich placers are said to exist, and the
opening up of entirely new gold fields
To sum up all that has been sale
briefly, is to say that from so, 000t t.
200. 900 persons will rush to the Yukor
next year; that the only two routes thu
majority of them should attempt are
the one by Dyea and Skaguay and the
lakes, and the ocean and river route
and that no one should attempt eithe
without first making careful provision
for the entire journey to his destina

treatment and cure as in the case of lum-
bago from cold or "A strain in some way

such need not differ one with the other.
Both are bad enough and should have

efficacy is so sure in either case there is
no difference in the treatment and no
