THE ALASKA OUTPUT.

PORTLAND, Ore, Feb. 28.-
The gold output of the Klon-
dixie country for 1898, at the
clean up in June, will be be-
tween $iO,OOO,OOO and $12,OOO,-
600. according to the estimate
of A. d. Nash of Portland, who
has just arrived from Dawson.
He is an old-timer in the Yukon
country, having mined along
the tributaries of the Yukon,
in British territory, since 1895.
But this estimate may be far
too high, for everythingis over
rated in the Klondike country.
Until recently the gold product
of 1897 was figured at $1O,OOO,-
600. BY degrees this exorbitant
estimate suffered reduction.
First it was cut in two. Now
comes an official statement
from Ottawa which places the
output of 1897 at $2,5OO,OOO.
Estimates of this years yield
of gold run up to $25,OOO,OOO.
This is the figure given out by
the combination having mines
to sell. Since last fall over 300
men have arrived from Dawson
with "c1aims" to sell. It is
estimated that they have over
1900 claims to put on the mar
ket. Some of these claims are
mythical. All the surveyors
on earth could not locate them.
Others are as valuable for
placer mining as is Central
Park, New York.
All these men agree that the
Klondike claims will yield $685.
100000 in gold this year. They
also say that the Alaska
Commercial Company and
the North American Trading
and Transportation Company
hold in their safes at Dawson
over 100000 of the yield of

A CHEAP TRIP.
Semi-M0nth1y Excursion to the
Sunny South.

The opportunity to visit the Southern
States afforded by the semi-monthly
excursions of the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad is one that should be taken
advantage Of by every one interested.
These excursions are arranged for the
first and third Tuesdays of April. The
tickets are good on the regular trains Of
those dates leaving Northern terminals,
and can also be purchased through
from agents of connecting lines. Tickets
are sold to many points in Kentucky,
Tennessee, Alabama, the Carolinas,
Mississippi, Georgia and the western
portions of Florida. They are good for
return passage on any Tuesday or Fri
day within twenty-one days, and allow
fifteen days on the going trip to stop
off and examine the country. The cost
for the round trip is about the regular
one way rate, and on same dates one
way tickets are sold at about two-thirds
of the regular rates.

1897. AS a matter of fact, the
companies at Dawson do not
hold over 81 100000.
A little figuring will show
how much work the K1ondike
miners will have to do to run
their yield up to $12,OOO,OOO.
This winter 800 claims are be-
ing worked. To make the to-
tai reach $12,OOO,OOO the claims
will have to produce an aver
age of $4,000 each. Now, these
300 claims are not of equal rich
ness. Some may not yield
$1,000. Others may not pay
for the wood burned to thaw
the ground and thus make it
workable. There are only 100
really rich claims in the entire
district These are on Bonanza
Elborapo, and bunker creeks.
All other rivers, creeks, and
gulches in the Klondike coun-
try will be tai1-enderswhen the
spring cleanup is made.
Every foot of valuable ground
or ground believed to be va1ua-
BILE, with in seventy-five miles
or Dawson, in any direction, is
staked. It is staked to last wa
ter, even to the tops of the trees
as the old Klondikers express
it. The miners real miuing
work begins at Dawson. Unless
he has money to buy claim
already staked, or to buy prov
visions and wood to enable him
to get a lay from a claim own
er, he must travel seventy-five
miles from Dawson III order to
prospect on ground which has
not been taken up. Buying
is an expensive luxury, as
claims are held all the way
from $4,000 to 100000. To
get lay the miner must have
money enough to buy wood at
$50 to $65 cord and provisions
at an average of IS cents a
pound. The cheapest course
open to the mineris to prospect
on his own account. That re-
quires, as we said, a journey
of seventy-five miles from Daw-
son, over a billy and mountain
Gus country. Then the pros
pector must take his chances.
He may make a stake and
he may not. It is all specula-
ton.
The matter of food supply al
ways is a grave one in the Yu-
kon regions. Never since the
miners began working in the
country has year passed
when the cry of famine was
not raised. This winter the
miners has the closest call
they have ever had. The men
have not had the quality and
quantity of food needed to sus-
tain life in the sub Arctic re-
gions, but at the same time
there has not been the least
danger Of starvation. The
great danger is not from star
walton, but from scurvy, caused
by the constant eating of the
same kind of food. This time
next year there will be danger
of starvation unless some way
is found to get large quantities
of food to Dawson, which is the
distributing point. The Yuk-
on is impracticable as supply
route, as it is not open to free
navigation long enough to ena-
BILE boats to make more than one
round trip between Dawson and
St. Michael. Nor can the noun
tain passes be depended upon.
The miners now in the Klon-
dixie country have barely suffi-
Gent food to last them until the
spring supply arrives. All laval
able transportation agencies
will not be able to land at Daw-
son this summer sufficient sup
plies for the miners already in
the country. The miners now
bound for the K1ondike are not
taking, on the average, a years
supplies. It is therefore, easy
to see that a large number of
people are likely to be short of
food about a year from now.

and in less than five minutes two COM
petent doctors were at the scene, and
no effort was spared which life and
science could suggest to relieve his
suffering and pain. We again sent
for the doctor who came at once but
too late to be of any service. His
soul had fed. Two of the boys dress.
ed him for the grave, three others of
the party went to the landing, purchas-
ed some lumber and made coffin for
the poor fellow. In the evening
when the days work was over and the
shades of night we're wrapping the
solitude in its sable folds, all the mem
bers of our party went into the tent
where lay the body of our friend in
silent state and knelt beside his body
for few minutes in silent prayer,
then each arose and passed out quiet
ly. We inferred him, on the side of
a mountain about half a mile away
from camp.
Before he died Roy had me take a
ring, photograph, and bible; before
he handed me the photograph he
looked at it and said, ooh, dear -
I will never see you in life again." and
told me to tell his family and friends
that his injury was all accidently done.
After we buried him we put up a
maidstone at his graves head on
which we carved his name, date of
and age, so it will be easily found la
ter on should anyone come to find it.
