THE OVERLAND TRAIL TO THE KLoNDlKR.
expensive the trip is the fortune hunter
realizes the moment he plans to leave
Seattle. In the first place, he must take
an ocean steamer and sail way up
around the western point of Alaska to
st. Michael's island, which lies at the
mouth of the Yukon. There he is trans
ferred to river steamer which takes
him 1900 miles up this pagnifcent
stream and lands him at Dawson City,
the mushroom metropolis of the Klon-
dike region. This Is the summer route.
It takes from six to seven weeks to
make the trip and costs from $3.50 to
$500 in fares
This is the most comfortable route,
but 1t is also the longest and most ex-
pensive. Then there are other features
The worst of these is that the Yukon is
generally frozen over solid by the 10th
of September and is not open for navi-
CATION until along in April. Then the
transportation facilities are limited,

tween now and the close of navigation

been engaged. Passengers are allowed
to carry only $50 pounds of baggage
each, and this barely covers the weight
Of an outfit, leaving provisions to be
purchased in the mining camp at almost
prohibitive prices
The other route is by way of juneau,
over the dreaded Chilkat pass. juneau
is in the very southern part of Alaska,
and from there the route is overland
and by way of inland waters for $50
miles. Part Of this distance must be
made on foot. All baggage must be car
ried by pack mules or ''toted" by Indi.
ans. One Of the most dangerous places
ON the route is White Horse rapids. At
this passage many poor miner has lost
not only all his poor effects, but his life
as we'll.
Klondike itself takes its name from a
small tributary Of the Yukon. The first
shanty was erected there over year
ago, so its civilization is even cruder
than that of Circle City. which up to
last fall was the principal settlement in
the Yukon, Both circle City and Forty
Mile are now practically deserted, the
miners having abandoned their claims
and floCked over the British border
when the news of the rich finds on the
Klondike became known.
There are few houses in this booming
bonanza town Of the arCtics. Tents have
to suffice where lumber costs from $500
to $4O0 thousand feet. Dawson City
now has a population of about 5000,
and probably 1000 more people will find
their way in before the winter sets in
and bars the gates Returned miners
agree that no man should go into the
Klondike region unless he has at least
$500 capital to start with. Even with
this amount he can only hope to live
there year and work for wages. If he
wants TO buy a claim or work one, he
should have not less than So, 900.
1t is folly for a man to go to Dawson
City without taking with him supplies
for at least eight months. A man who
has been there and has learned by ex-
perience tells what these provisions
should be. "He should have 400 pounds

CITY.
inasmuch as its riches were discovered
by Americans and as the shortest and
most practicable entrances to the region
are through Alaska it is mainly Amer
leans who are reaping the golden har-
vest. Thus far John Bull has treated
them with much consideration. Accord
ing to all reports, Americans are given
equal rights with Canadians in stalking
out claims, and the Canadian land laws
seem to be much better adapted to the
emergency than ours have been under
similar circumstances. More than this,
the mounted police of British Columbia
promptly appeared on the spot soon aft
er the first rush and have been keeping
excellent order ever since.
Few Of us probably know what it is
to have the gold fever in our veins.
Just imagine seeing 100 men arrive in
your town, each with fortune ranging
from $4,000 to $4,000 which you
knew they had made in a few months.
Don't you think you would feel strong
inclination to go where they had been
so fortunate and try to do the same
thing? Do you think you could sleep
easily nights and go calmly about your
duties by day if you thought one of
those fortunes was awaiting you?
If you have successfully pictured to
yourself the state of mind which you
would be in under such conditions, then
perhaps you can imagine the excite
ment which is just now raging in Seat
tie, Portland and other northwestern
cities. No wonder the Seattle folks are
gold crazy. The other day they saw 66
miners walk off the steamer there, each
and every one of them laden with gold.
In all they had ton and half of the
precious metal. Some of them had more
gold than they could carry. Just think
of thatl Many of them, too, were men
who up to a year ago knew no more
about gold mining than the average
man does. Most of them went to Alaska
poor men.
Years Of experience have made us
skeptical about miners tales. We be-
lieve them about as often as we do fish
ermen's yarns. The time is past when
simple reports of "big strikes" in new
goldfelds can start an army of fortune
hunters tramping into some out of the
way and entirely unknown region. The
widespread credulity which was built
up on the wonderful finds in the Com
stock lode has long since dwindled
away. There have been too many false
strikes during the 40 years that have
intervened.
But when little company Of bronzed
miners return TO civilization literally
loaded with gold dust and nuggets it is
not necessary for them to do any ro-
mancing in order to spread the gold
fever. 1t is said that during the first
flush of the excitement i'll Seattle more
than 2, 600 men at once began to make
preparations to go to this famous Klon-
dixie.
Few of them will get there however.
Most of them have already changed their
minds or at least decided to wait There
are several obstacles which will prevent
the Klondike region from being flooded
with humanity this fall. In the first
place, it is long and expensive jour
ney. The Klondike is not to be reached
by trolley. just how long and just how

The Klondike goldhelds, where such
big strikes have recently been made, are
located in one Of the most inaccessible
sections of this continent. If you will
look at the map of Alaska, you will see
that the Yukon river cuts the territory
into two almost equal sections, one
lying north and the other south. Away
over on the eastern border of Alaska

in from British Columbia is the Klon-
