Placer mining in the Klondlke Is
fraught with many difficulties" says
q wealthy miner who has Just re-
turned from that region. Frost never
goes out OF the ground. Mining can
only be done with any Roadway In the
short summer, when the sun shines ~
hours out OF the "a. During the
seven months OF winter darkness
reigns. for Il is night 81 hours out OF
the "a. The wonderful aurora bore
ais, however, llghtens the gloom OF
the long, dark winter. One OF the
great drawbacks to working In the
summer Ia the bloodthirsty mosquito,
I will bet my entire gold claim
against a clay brickbat with any
mathematician In the world that
there are 1000 mosquitoes in every
cubic foot Of air in the Klondike dur.
ing the summer. Their bills are as
sharp as needles and pierce a fall
overcoat with ease. We could do no
work except when we placed mosquito
netting over our hats and tied II
around our waists. and wore gloves
on our hands. The country In and
around the Klondike is teeming with
gold Gold can be found everywhere,
but Il must be remembered that goid

everywhere.
mo spot in. the world can give so
forceful an object lesson favoring tee
totalism as the graveyard at Dawson
City. One year ago there were but
two or three graves there. Just be-
fore leaving there I counted 635
graves, and the mound in nearly every
instance marks the last resting place
OF a drunkard. Most OF the whisky
sold In Dawson City is a deadly con-
coction made Of alcohol, tobacco and
red pepper This stun ruins the
stomach of the drinker. then indiges-
ton and nervous troubles begin and
he dies suddenly. But one should
leave even good whisky alone In that
climate II he wants to keep his health.
also observed that the delicate-look'
ing and thin.faced Americans stand
the exposure in that Arctic region bet
ter than the blg-muscled Swedes and
Irishmen. The Americans. as rule.
drink less whisky than the other ma
tionalities there. and hence their good
health Is another argument against
intemperance.

FEW FACTS REGARDING DRINK
Some Striking Details Concerning Pub

The temperance organ of the Church
OF England Temperance society in
Great Britain. publishes some strik'
ing details regarding drink and pub
lie houses in the rural districts OF
Russia and quotes some figures ana
facts concerning the government mo-
nopoly of the liquor traffic. An ex-
tract reads as follows:
Vodka in Russia is universal

the car and in the poorest cottage.
As It is possible to obtain In the
governments spirit shops a small bot
tie of vodka for less than a penny.
the poorest beggar is now able to In
du!ge in the national beverage.
IAN attempts to save the people
from drunkenness, and thereby raise
them. both morally and economically.
have hitherto been OF no avail. Be-
fore the government took over the
sale of spirits there were villages In
Russia where 1t was impossible to buy
vodka. and where the peasants were.
comparatively speaking. well to do.
But now the government Is inundating
the smallest and most distant villages
with q flood of spirits. In some OF
these villages the women have been
reused to fury-not through their love
of alcohol, but owing to their hatred

from destruction. they have In some
districts assembled and stormed the

shops), the offenders being afterwards
very severely punished.
THE government makes an enor-

Last year the sale amounted to ESQ.,
