FIRST KLONDIKE CHURCH
Since 1t Burned the Opera House Has
Been Given Over For Sunday
Services.

New York, Jan. 1.-Two missionaries
were last August sent to the KlOndike
by two New York women under the
auspices of the Presbyterian board of
home missions. The names of the wo-
men are kept a secret by the board. A
letter has just been received by Mr.. D.
J. Mcmillan, corresponding secretary of
the board from these miSSfOnarieS-the
Rev. Hall Young and DR.. W. A. Nc
Even. The letter is from Dawson City
and is dated December 1. It was car
ried from Dawson City to the nearest
outpost of civilization by Jimmy Jack
son, an Indian, who has a record for
going where no other man can go. The
letter announces the establishment of
the first church in KlOndike and says
there is food enough there to last till
spring with economy. If provisions
reach the miners by the first of April
the danger of absolute want will be en-
tirely passed.
Mr. Young writes that he and his
companion are the only missionaries
who reached Klondike City, two miles
from Dawson City, their destination
before the winter set in. Since then of
course, nobody has arrived there. Ihey
started at once to provide a place of
worship for the miners. On this point
Mr.. Young writes:
I found a newly-erected two-story
house belonging to a saloon keeper,
which he offered to let US have on the
following terms; The large room on
the first floor, one month, for 500 in
advance; or the whole house (there are
six by 10 rooms in the upper story
until May Is, seven months, for $780,
giving five days to raise the money.
Well, I prayed and called on several
friends. First, got the 500, which Sc
cured the room, for the next Sunday, I
advertised and had a nice meeting, at
tendance 50; collection, $40. Then I ar
ranged to sub-Iet the upstairs rooms at
$50 per month each. They are little,
rough, cold, UNFINISHED boxes, but
were eagerly snapped up the first day.
I got the renters to advance all they
could and borrowed the rest from the
gold commissioner Mr.: Fawcett: At

other $3.50 and got the lease of the
building"
But there were troubles ahead. On
the 21st of November one of the dodgers
came home flied with whisky. Al
though candles were worth 81. each
he lighted one and then kicked it over.
The building was burned to the ground.
The pluck of the missionaries had
aroused the enthusiasm of the miners,
however, and gold was forthcoming in
paying quantities. Mr.. Young argued
for and won the observance of Sunday
in the camp and the opera house.
which had been used for other pur-
poses on that day, is now the church.
Somebody stole two bags of flour
from the missionaries, but the thief
has been forgiven. The missionaries
have started a Young Peoples society
of Christian EndeaVOr and a. branch of
the Y. NJ. G. A. The letter closes, Z
walked over 20 miles on Tuesday with
the thermometer at 81 degrees below
zero, made eleven calls and found about
80 church people who will attend the
meetings.
Flour is $3.50 per pound; candles
81. so apiece; meats $1.25 per pound and
other food in proportion. Flour can
hardly be had at any price and grocer
les can scarcely be bought at the stores.
On the other hand, some of the mines
are pouring forth constant streams of
gold and there is no difficulty in pay
ing obligations"
The letter has been sent by Mcmillan
to the two women who sent out the
missionaries.
