Thousands Whose Situations Are Scarce
ly Less Terrible May Easily and

A man lies fiat on his back. bound so
that he cannot move an inch. He is in
a dungeon, at first dark as well, but in
a lew minutes a light in the ceiling, far
up, shows Il mechanical figure of Time
with his scythe. Tie figure descends
slowly, the scythe swings. and the
prisoner realizes that unless some un
expected help should come. he will be
slowly cut to pieces. What followed is
told by Edgar Allen Poe in the fantastic
story called The Pit and the Pendu.

that the sufferer notices a weakness Of

George Coats, a former Black Hitler,
now at Dawson City, writes somewhat
discouragingly from that place with
reference to the future of the klondike
country. lie predicts hard times for
the miners this winter, and does not
advise any one to go there. lie says
food is notably scarce and difficult to
obtain at any price, and that mining is
at all times exceedingly difficult; the
over abundance Of water being a great
set back in summer, and the intense
cold making it extremely d~isagreeable
in the winter. 1t might be well for
those who are contemplating a trip to
that remote region to take into consid-
Grafton what Mr.. Coats says concerning
that much mentioned mining region,
