VILLAGE ON FORTY-MILE CREEK.

certain quantity of land which was
then for sale at a very low figure, and
started in to look for gold.
His first find brought settlers there
by the dozen. Dawson" the place was
called, and as the owner sold off small
portions of the land his fame grew and
spread. He now owns Dawson, having
sold but little, and is so many times a
millionaire that his wealth cannot be
estimated. He is the Barnato Of Alas
ka the man who struck 1t rich, and
knowing Il good thing when he saw it,
held on to it. 1t is only another tale of
South African luck, but much nearer
home-enviously near.
At present, If you want to get to Alas
ka and become Barnato, there are
two ways of going. One Is by sea and
the other is overland. If you take the
sea route you can start by steamship
from Seattle, and crossing the Gulf of
Alaska, touch first at Unalaska, passing
through the Aleutian Islands. From
there the route lies directly north, get
ting colder and colder every minute.
Here you will need all the Arctic wraps
you have brought with you. The ships
fare will be warm, nourlshing food
cereals, chocolate. meats and spices.
But for all tliat you will need fur over
coats, fur hoods, blanket wraps, wooden
mittens and big, warm. fur-lined bags
In which to sleep. For one going from
very warm city into this region the
change is so great and so sudden that
there is sure to be great suffering, and
many of the would-be Barnatos turn
back.
The steamship stops at st. Michaers;
and here, within sight of Bering sea,
almost within hailing distance of the
Bering strait, you leave the steamship
and start inland to search for gold.
The Rarnatos have nearly all follow
ed the Yukon. 1t leads into Klondyke,

Is no sharp line drawn between that
which is sold and that which belongs to
