the North.
Believes That Half of Those Who
Depart Will Not Live to

Captain w. A. Nevills, the owner of the

story of the Klohdyke country, and, in
deed, of the whole Northwest Territory,
that presages death and disaster for the
majority OF the bold fortune seekers who
have gone or who may go into the new El
Dorado.
Captain Nevills has lived in lat section
OF the continent and is familiar with
every popularity ef it and OF the people
who have inha bited it for many years.
he in no degree discounts the reports Of
vast wealth to be found there, but he lays
great stress on the hardships and dangers
that are certain to be encountered by
every man who goes there from country
where the rigors of IN tenselv cold winters
and the perils of cyclonic snowstorms
are not known. He declares that no one
who has not been through the experience
can form any conception o. what IL means
to pass winter in those high latitudes.
Comparatively few men are able to with
stand even single season.
