are directed to Anton Muggli, owner
of the Cold Spring mill and about
twenty farmers who hold lands along

summer the farmers living along the
river conceived the idea that if the
dam was removed a good many hun

his dam if he would let them tear it

TORONTO, Ont, Jan 29.-Nothing

than has been aroused all over Canada
by the announcement of the contract
between the Dominion government and
Messrs. McKensie and Mann for the
construction of a railway between the
Stickeen river and Teslin lake in the
Yukon country. Every one is talking
OF it, and the newspapers, government

to be master-stroke on the part of
the government. An Ottawa dispatcn
says Sir Charles Tupper, the veteran
leader Of the Conservative party in the

GRAVE BUT NOT DESPERATE.
Situation at Dawson Summed Up by
an Official.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-Carroll D.
Wright, commissioner of labor, has re-
ceived a personal letter from Samuel
Dunham, statistical expert of the
bureau of labor who was sent to the
Klondike some months ago to investi-
gate and report upon its industrial pos
sibilities. The letter is dated Circle
City, Alaska, Nov. Y. 1897. and gives
an outline of the principal features Mr..
Dunham will incorporate in a compre-
heESive report of about 400 type writ
ten pages. He will endeavor to give an
accurate account of the Klondike, and
the history of its development, an esti-
mate of the probable output; full infor
nation relative to the cost of living, op-
portunities for employment. agricultural
possibilities, and local laws and regu-
lations.
After outlining these intended fea-
lures, the letter. speaking of the re-
ports of hardship in the gold country
and the stories of starvation says: Il
consider the situation grave, but not
desperate. There is food at Fort Yukon
for 600 more men than are wintering
there, and this can be freighted to Daw-
