nearly all followed the Yukon. 1t leads
into Klondyke. and one of its tribu-
taries is the Klondyke river. Dawson,
Joseph Ledue Barnato's town, is on
the Yukon: and Circle City, another
rich spot, lies on it's banks.
Land is for sale here very cheap.
Or you can do as many prospectors
have done-start in hunting for gold
without making too many inquiries.
The find is so sudden that there is no
sharp line drawn between that which
is sold and that which belongs to the
United States, and man is free to
hunt where he will. For your own
some definite arrangement made with
the nearest authorities, so as to avoid
trouble in case of rich find. An
other way to reach the gold fields is
by the overland route. Many journey
this way in wagons, as they went to
Pixies Peak or bust" years ago. The
route begins at Seattle and follows the
coast north past Sitka, past Juneau,
and through the Chilcoe pass. And
so north through the gold fields to
Dawson. The finds" here are rich,
and when Klondyke is reached, on the
other side of Dawson, man finds
himself in the very middle of the gold
country. The distance to be traversed
is great and the journey is a long,
hard one, but notwithstanding this,
thousands are struggling Alaskaward.

the hardest things the prospector has
to endure is the sight of the sacks of
gold dust that are being shipped from
every seaport and the tons of ore that
are being sent down from st. MichaeTs
and south from Juneau. In one day
there came advices from St. Michaels
that $1,4O0,000 worth of gold dust
would be shipped by the Wells-Fargo
south, and that s76S,OOO in dust was
awaiting transportation. In one day
there came down on the Puget Sound
steamship 100000 in Alaskan gold
There is, as usual, howl about the
exaggeration in values hereabouts.
But the facts are as stated and great
er. 1t was SO when gold was found in
the West Rockies and in California
There really was gold and plenty of
it, and so in Alaska. There is a
chance for twenty Barnatos, but, of
course, among 2O,OOO-the present
number of applicants that have ap-
pl.~-- at the steamship and overland
offices-there must be many disap-
pointed ones.
Even without making a Barnato for
tune, a man may do well here, for
there is fine chance for Yankee in
genuity and the building up OF fine
American cities in the very far north.

Canada's Policy Is Criticised.

On July 27 the Dominion cabinet de-
cided to demand royalty on the out
put of the new diggings of the Yukon.
Under regulations previously issued, a
fee of SIS per claim for registry and
tax of S100 per annum were imposed.
Now, in addition to this, royalty of
10 per cent of the output is to be col
lected from all claims producing $500
per month, and 20 per cent on these
producing more than that amount.
Moreover, every alternate claim on all
placer ground is to be reserved as
the property of the government, to be
sold or worked for it's revenue. The
establishment of such a system, which
is. we believe, without precedent on
this continent since the end Of Span

bill passed Congress. While this was
under consideration in the Senate Com
mittee on Commerce, the statement
was made that if the French cable was
landed pending Congressional action, a
United States revenue cutter would cut
it. Through the summer work on the

nation received here to-day indicates

Of a foreign company. There appears
to be much doubt as to the law, or
whether there is any law on the sub
iect. The French company has urged
that the life was a renewal of the old
line, and not a new line. They also
have pointed out in a communication
to the Sepate Committee on Commerce
that the line was of strategic impor-
lance to the United States as it is to be
the only cable which does not pass over
British territory. What, if any act
ion, the new Government will take has
not been determined so far as can be

but the head lay short distance from
the body.
It was impossible to estimate the age
of the woman accurately, but she
seemed to have been under 80. The
nails of the right hand seemed to have
been well cared for. and indicated that
the woman had not been accustomed
to hard work.
As far as learned, no woman is miss
