Most of them are celibatcs who in the long winters spent in the log cabins in the woods. practice a monastic chastity. The lust for gold has quenched every other passion. Winter after winter, for more than fifteen years, many of them have gone alone or with q single partner into the wilderness to search for mines. and returned every spring with gold sufficient to equal what they had paid out for tools, dynamite and provisions.

The following article is taken from the lditarod Pioneer who reproduced it from the Springfield (Mass) Re publican. It is from the pen of Roger Forest an eminent lawyer of New York, who has gained distinction at the bar and before the court of public opinion" phase whose authorship he is credited with.
 Mr. Forest reviews at length the wondrous beau lties of the scenery in south eastern Alaska of which we are aware as well as strange eXper- iences he encountered on his trip down the Yukon, and the article, shorn of it's less striking paragraphs is as follows:-
 For those, however, who are strong and do not mind coarse food, rough necks and rough treatment, when coun- terbalanced by beautiful scenery and interesting men, q voyage upon the River Yukon is aI experience not to be regretted. He who has not seen the Yukon, the klondilke, which emptcs into it and .hose who live near the banks have not seen Alaska. The Yu- kon flows 1000 miles or more, out meandering the Meander river il it's
 ing the same hill five times through q wilderness almost painless, which the greater part of the way has remain ed unchanged since the discovery of America. The primeval forest on it's banks has i1 mos: places no inhabi- tants except moose, caribou, bear lynx and other wild animals. Some of these can be seen from the boat, upon the shores or swimming in the water Here and there are q few Indian cabins, or the lodge of a wood chopper who supplies the steamers with fuel, empty, and owing their present limited existence principally 10 the fur trade. One ofthese the town of Circle, WAS so named because it was erroneously thought to be upon the Arctic circle; which parallel as has since been dis covered, cuts the river at a point near the mission and trading post of Fort Yukon, many miles further north, and is indicated by white globe painted upon a sign board on the shore. Cir cle was once the largest tent city in the world, but it's white inhabitants are now hardly a score. 1t is said that in it's well populated cemetary are the graves of only two persons who have died natural deaths; the others buried there have been shot or committed suicide. Another town, Eagle, the nearest to the border of Canada, has now less than ten white families. It contains a wireless station which is one of the wonders of the world It is said to intercept, at times, mes sages from the Eiffel tower in Paris.
 The old Alaskans are sturdy race. None of the weddings have survived.
