FROM THE FROZEN NORTH
TRADE PROSPECTS IN DAWSON
CITY.
Champagne Sells at $24O a Dozen;
Whisky, $50 a Gallon; Beer 800 the
Barrel.

Vice Consul Morrison writes from
Dawson as follows:
Business in Dawson this season has
been very quiet, chiefly because the
population is nearly 5000 less than last
year. Prices, however, remain firm,
and an inquiry at several of the leading
stores shows the following percentages
of profits still obtaining: On drugs and
medicines, 300 per cent; books and sta
tionery, 500 per cent; boots and shoes,
$50 per cent; clothing, so per cent; gro
Ceries, 200 per cent; hardware, 400 per
cent. Champagne, any brand, sells at
$240 per case of l dozen quarts; beer,
in barrels containing dozen bottles,
800 per barrel; whisky, $35 to $45 per
case of l dozen bottles. or $40 to $50 per
gallon.
I'm addition to the duty on liquors,
there is a further tax of 81 per imperial
gallon, called the federal tax. Saloon
licenses are worth $1,000 per annum. A
| singular feature connected with these
is a charge of $50 for an application for
license. If the application is denied,
the $50 is not returned to the applicant.
| The revenue estimated by the finance
committee of the Yukon council for
liquor permits for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, 1900, is 100000; for licenses,
500, 900.
THE flooding of many of the mines
the continuation of the mild weather
early in the season, may have an effect
upon the output for the year. 1t is
still rather early to venture on a fore
cast; but taking into consideration the
improved methods now employed, a
conservative estimate places the figures
at from $25,000,000 to 100000 900.
Nineteen expeditions have left Daw-
son for the Nome district since Decem-
Der 4, 1899, and as the days lengthen and
the weather moderates many more Will

mail from st. Michaels, confirms the
reports of the richness of the district,
and also announces new fields in the in
terror; but lack of fuel prohibits these
being worked in winter. Typhoid fever

tality from this disease is increasing"

USE FOR FISH SCALES.


Hitherto fish scales have been of lit
tie use, except to collectors of marine
cuTios. OF course, the demand in this
direction is certain, only certain eXcep-
tionally fine or rare scales being sought
after. Now, owing to the discovery
of a French chemist in Lyons, there
is likely to be a growing market for
fish scales. The Frenchman has dis
covered how the scales may be used in
the manufacture of artificial pearls and
other ornaments; in fact, the demand
has been so great for them in Lyons
that the supply is absolutely made
quate. Mr.. Covert, United States Con-
sui at Lyons, has interested himself in
the matter, and finds out that there is
an actual demand for large quantities
of scales in his Consulate, where good
prices are paid for them. He has even
deemed the innovation Of sufficient inn
pOTtance to form the subject part of
a report to his Government, in which
he gives directions as how to the scales
should be transported. He says:
The scales should be sprinkled with
salt as soon as they are removed from
the fish and packed in tin cans. Any
specimens sent to this consulate will
receive careful examination, and the
results, with any suggestions that may
be made and particulars of prices Of
fered, will be duly reported. 1t is be-
lieved in Lyons that the sale of these
scales may result in establishing an i'm
portant business in an article that now
has no commercial value"
Owing to the fact that the American
sturgeon has the most beautiful and
largest scales of almost any fish in the
world this item may have considerable
interest to fishermen on the Paclhc
Coast, where the largest quantities of
this large fish are now captured
