"As a result of the above strikes in

miners from this country are departing

them much improved machinery for

Modes of Travel.

About three stops are made daily. IL
a continuous day and night journey Is
not contemplated. and q relay of fresh
horses is supplied every twenty-five
miles The trip IS usually made in sew
enteen relays. for which sixty eight
horses are used. About seventy-fve
miles per day are made, on IN average
The quickest time made between White
Horse and Dawson, including day and
night service, was three days and ten
hours, which enabled letters from New
York and Philadelphia to reach Dawson
during the winter months within fifteen
days.
Passengers not desiring to travel at
night are provided for at road houses,

Due to Americans.


The development OF the KIondike hss
been largely due to the entrprise and
capital Of our own people, about 20 per
cent Of the population being Americans.
Much work has been done on the
creeks this year, and, notwithstanding
reports = he contrary, the output of
gold promises to exceed that of 1901,
which amounted to over S20, ,00O. 900. The
statement that business panic prevails
in Dawson and that the miners are de-
seFting the creeks is also false From
personal investigation I am able to say
That the business men of this commu.
hlty have the utmost confidence in the
Ietare Of the Territory. and are making
preparations for busy season.
