MINERS IN THE kLoNo,ks.
Quiet, Provident and Anxious to Get
Away as Soon as Possible.

Lack of water is the great drawback
to mining in the Yukon, says Leslies
Weekly. There is little rain during
the summer and the miner must de-
pend upon the melting SHOWS to swell
the streams for his summer sluicing.
Villages have sprung up near the
creeks and living is q shade higher
than in Dawson owing to the extra
freight. Sending souvenir post cards
from these points becomes an expen-
sive remembrance, as the plain uncol-
ored ones sell for $150 dozen. The
picturesque swagger miner of Cripple
Creek, Creede and Tonopah is not
| found here. The cost of getting in"
is heavy, money is not always easily
made, and the winters are bitter cold
and depressing on account OF the long
darkness. So the miner saves his
| earnings until he reaches more COLI
geneal cline. To be sure, there are
Zen ON the creeks who drink whiskey
and the hardest kind of whiskey-
and gambling goes on; yet, on tho
whole, the Klondike miner Is quiet

hopes that the gold fields are not
to be his permanent home.
A man who works for company
or individual mine owner receives
from four dollars to six dollars day
and his board. Many of them do the,!
own cooking and live In cabins neal
tho creeks. Flap-jacks (pan cakes)
bacon and coffee are their chief diet
during the winter, and in mdsum1eI
1t requires deXterous hand to turn
the flap-jacks before the mosquitoes
can settle on the unbaked side. Tie
o,d-timer who has seen the ice come
and go Is known as n sour dough,
and these men are the aristocrats o
the camp. The newcomer, or the mar
who spends his winters outside, is al
ways known as q "cheechako.'
If people in the states knew how let
o ters from home are appreciated by th'
cabin dwellers of the Yukon the.
would send some message every day
: have seen miners sit in front of thei
; cabins and read and reread old tai
tered letters. AT some particular pas
s sage their faces would light up wit
smile and the entire letter woul

Doctor Struck Il Rich.

A wealthy New York banker, whilG
visiting his parents in a small town,

months he was confined in the Old
