THE YUKON MOSQUITO.
Drives Moose and Caribou to the Snow
 Line and Stings Bears Blind.

Drives Moose and Caribou to the Snow
 Line and Stings Bears Blind.
 Not only do the Yukon mosquitoes attack men and overwhelm them, but they drive the moose, deer and caribou up the mountains to the snow line. where these animals would prefer not to be in berry time. They kill dogs, and even the big brown bear, that is often miscalled a grizzly, has suooumb- cd to them. Bears come down to the river from the hillside in the early fall to get some of the salmon that are often thrown upon the banks when the run" is heavy.
 If bruin runs foul of swarm of mos quitoes and has not his wits about him his day has come. The insects will alight all over him. His fur protects his body, but his eyes, ears and nose will soon be swollen up and bleeding, and unless he gets into a river or a strong wind be will be driven mad and blind, to wander about hopelessly until he starves to death.
 Although the Alaska summer is short. two broods of mosquitoes hatch out each year, and are ready for business from one to ten seconds after they leave the water. It rains a good deal along the Yukon, and rain is welcomed, for it drives the mosquitoes to cover. They hide under leaves and branches until the shower is over; then they come out boiling with rage at the tine they have been forced to spend in idleness, and the miner has a harder time than ever after his respite.
 Mosquitoes and snowfakes are not contemporaries in the States, but in Alaska it is different. Snow does nos bother them so much as rain, and an early snow may fall while they are still on the wing. Fog docs not choke them either. They appear to like it. They float about in it as in ambush and take the unwary prospector by surprise. =. Denver Times.
