a x1oNp1xr WARNING

The Alaskan gold excitement Is for
gotten, almost. The war has driven Il
from the public mind. While there has
been considerable travel toward the Ar
tic circle this spring. the great rush thai
was predicted has not materalized. Many
who intended to 90 have wisely recon.
sidered and concluded to stay at home
The whole country has been made &C.
quainted with the fearful dangers, ex-
cessive hardships and terrible disappoint'
ments that have been the lot Of the ma.
jority who went into the Klondike coun-
try last fall and winter. But the enthusi-
asst may say, even these may be endured
II there is good prospect Of getting rich
Very true, but the prospect is for the
great majority snare and a .delusion.
The New York Times Of May contains
several letters from its special cores
pondent, E. Leroy Pelletier, written in
March, which let in flood of light upon
the stories Of enormous wealth, made In
day that have been so freely and so un-
thinkingly circulated. They prove con-
clusively that the widest exaggeration'
are being put forth for the purpose first
Of getting men into the country, and sec
ond, to sell claims at fictitious values tt
gullible people unacquainted with thu
real conditions.
A few extracts from these letters bes
explain the situation:
Dawson City has long since ceased to
be . mining camp in the usual sense of
the word, and has become speculative
center almost entirely. Men stake and
record claims on unknown and untried
creeks, not because they intend to de-
velop them, but in the hope Of catching
| some person with more money than
judgment or discretion. Many of these
properties have been sent outside to be
sold, and IL the reports which have ar
rived with this mail are to be relied
upon at all, the innocents are being un-
mercifully heeced In the states.
There are three or four different real
| estate firms here who have been maxi
ing a practice of bonding properties and
sending them out to representatives who
| will sell them for any price they can
get. One Of these firms has sent at
least 800 claims out, and 1 venture to
say that not one out Of the whole lot
| will pay for the working.
One claim on Upper Bonanza has been
sold for 100000. 1t would not find a
buyer here for $1,000. No ''pay dirt"
has so far been found above forty-three
on Bonanza, and this claim is above
fifty. Two others on Ell Dorado have
been sold for 100000 each. The claim
Just below these was bought for $4,000
a few days ago, and many consider that
a poor buy, should the obnoxious laws
| be enforced.
There are undoubtedly rich claims
Mr.. Pelletier says, the most Of those OF
Upper Bonanza and Ell Dorado creeks vi
to Nos. ~ and AZ. respectively. are rich
But everything around Dawson City wa
taken up long ago. and the majority o
claims will be blanks. so far as gold Il
| concerned.
1t is quite apparent that the people a
home need to be warned against taking
Klondike chances. There will be fever
ish and INSCRIPTIONS attempt to Great
speculative boom In Klondike claims
just so soon as the promoters can reacl
civilization and tell their stories. Lool
out for them!
