ALASKAN GOLD FIELD
An Address by Mr.. William d. Lewis
of Seattle.
FIFTY YOUNG MEN BIS AUDITORS
Company Proposes to Start for
kIondike in the Spring.
THE OUTFIT NECESSA AIRY

Fifty young men who expect to go to the
Alaskan gold fields in the spring gathered
in Parlor 10 Of Wizards Hotel last evening
to hear an address by Mr.. William II.
Lewis of Seattle on How to Reach the
Klondike." Mr.. Lewis has made a careful
investigation CT the subject for the purpose
of advising miners, whom he represents as
agent, and his remarks were well received.
He spoke, in part, as follows:
Seattle is already rapidly filling up with
the advance guard of prospectors, and Ii
is estimated that 100000 miners will pass
through that city into Alaska this spring.
while Alaska is full of gold fields. some
Of them very rich. 1 advise people now to
go to the Klondike region of the Yukon
river. Undoubtedly the richest claims on
the Klondike and its branches have been
located. but new and rich discoveries are
being developed near there and all along
the Yukon this winter and the miners who
reach there first in the spring will be able
to locate claims adjoining the rich ones
developed this winter. And, moreover, on
the Yukon a miner who fails to locate a
rich claim, can always secure work at from
so to SIS a day.
THE Copper river Cooks Inlet and other
districts along the coast all promise well
and may be extremely rich, but nothing
definite is yet known Of any great dscov-
less rich strikes are made there this sum-
mer, there will be great hardship among
the thousands Of men who are going. and
who, If they fail to strike gold. will be I'M
able to get work at day wages.
Necessity of n Years Outfit.
mo man should think of starting for any
of the Alaska gold fields without at least a
years outfit of clothing, hardware grocer
les, medicines. etc. Such an outfit is an
absolute necessity, once on the trail
all opportu, tiles for buying are past. You
must make the trip with the outfit you
have or turn back.
Outfits may be purchased in Seattle.
which is the acknowledged Quitting point
for the coast San Francisco and Portland
are both too far away, have very little d.
rect communication with Alaska and know
little about the requirements of an outfit.
Next to Seattle l consider Tacoma the
best oltfitting point. 1t has all the advan-
tages of location, though lacking, perhaps,
the large number of dealers carrying COM
plete stocks of goods. Neither have Its
dealers and their employees had as much eX-
perience in supplying the Alaska outfits as
have those of Seattle.

present. The rule which is thus made in
