lions if we'll located III the States.
Do not forget that the sun shines
quite as much in Alaska in "a year as it
does i'll the tropics, the only difference
being in tho direction of the rays.
DO not take tho river route in either
going to the goldGclds or coming from
them. The route by the passes is far
better.
Keep Away From Alaska.
Finally, as to the ACCESSIBILITY Of 60
ing to Alaska at all, l can only say,
with no knowledge Of individual en-
vironment or conditions, keep away, "
just as / would advise n man to keep
out of Wall street. While it has mines
of unparalleled richness and there is
more or less gold in the entire country,
it is more difficult to take out than in
any other locality OH earth, and this
will continue to be the case until some
Vanderbilt or Jim Hill pushes his
mighty locomotives through it. But
these are not needed moro for provisions
and other plies than they are to
bring i'll Il or other fuel and ma.
chinery su d to thaw out the ground,
for the country will be stripped of its
scant and dwarfed forests long before it
has been half prcspected. Not that
the frozen ground is a serious bar to
mining. Indeed in most cases it makes
it possible, for otherwise water would
run into the drift holes and necessitatc
other and more expensive methods. 1t
requires heat, however, and a good deal
Of it, to thaw the soil, which is every.
where frozen as solid as granite. In
some cases wood TO do this must al
ready be carried several miles, and soon
this as well as logs for cabin building
and for fuel will denude the country.
NaniSee Genius Needed.
Coal there? Yes, some, doubtless; q
great deal, many claim. But it viii
take time and money to wrost it from
the ground, and until this be done Goa
or coal oil perhaps-must be brought
in and applied to tho successful thaw-
ing machine of some Yankee genius be,
fore the earth can be made to disgorgC
a 1.-THE of her mineral richness. There
are two machines designed for this pur-
pose in Dawson already. One contem'
plates the use of steam as u thawlng
agent, the other a fame generated by
coal oil. The practicability of neither
has yet found opportunity of demonstra.
ton. But something of the kind must
come M or later.
Again, appalling as the difficulties
arc which it would seem the gold seek
er Of today has to expect, | find that
many Of those who went in this yea
say they would rather remain poor,
distressed and debt burdened at home
than attempt to get rich or succeed il
getting rich in the goldiclds. The fact
is the present gold seeker is quite un'
like the one who went to Alaska fol
gold-and got it-long before there
seemed much chance Of securing it, or
more briefly put, Alaska is no country
for the man who has been attracted tc
it by the past years reports Of the for
tunes acquired in it. 1t needs men only
who would go there even though con
ditions were unknown and prospects for
bidding,
And such must have the ~stronges
constitutions, the most correct and sim
pie habits, the greatest industry ant
the most unwearied perseverance.
