currency to meet theirdaily expenses Tents and rough cabins are going up in every direction and the shore of the river is lined with boats and canoes great difficulty with which the miners in the vicinity of the Klondike as well as through Alaska will have to contend is the insufficiency of food It is impossible for a miner to carry enough provisions with him in an overland trip to Jast through a season There are but few facilities forgetting food over the hundreds of miles of country between the coast and the gold districts and after the middle of September fish cannot be secured and game grows very scarce Already there is as much freight in the way of provisions clothing and camping out fits piled up at the various porta as the Indian carriers can pack up country in a years steady work There is as yet no report of large finds in quartz gold this will un doubtedly come later when the first craze is over and brains arid capital join hands in prospecting At present the golddigging is all in shallow placer claims where the finds in crease in richness as the miners dig below the soil until bed rock is reach ed which to the sorrow of the work er is usually the mines

dollars per ounce- with special finds amounting to twentytwo and even dollars The Klondike gold contains a greater percentage of silver than is found in the California metal The Eldorado diggings

Since the opening of the summer season a steady stream of gold has poured into the coast towns from claims all along the Yukon River gold in boxes in bags fine gold and coarse gold nuggets worth fifty and eighty and one hundred dollars and of that were heavy burdens to the lean hungrylooking miners whose treasure had in many instances nearly cost them their lives The first steamer to arrive from the great northwestern goldfields was the Portland from St Michael reaching San Francisco July and bearing a golden freight of over three thousand pounds roughly estimated a ton and a half of nuggets and dust Fortunes of from one hundred and fifty thousand to two hundred thousand dollars have been made in a month and three thousand dollars have been secured in a single day by a miner capable of

has sprung into fame goldcrowned coveted thecentre of observation of two continents and the most desirable possession of a country already valued the richest in the world in natural resources Discoveries of gold along the Yukon and its now famous tributary the Klondike have been repeatedly made Men ambitious of wealth and fame have again and again risked death from starvation and exposure in the Yukon valley but until the spring of in one way or another the diffi culties of the undertaking have proved insurmountable The Klondike was known to be a goldbearing region back in but the only season when it was possible to prospect for gold was in midsummer when that part of the country is usually infested with bears from the mountains seeking the of water shooting up high er and higher until in some of the narrow gorges it entirely overflows its boundaries of massive basaltic cliffs and spreads out in innumerable shal low lakes and ponds The climate along this extensive valley is probably one of the most try ing in the world There are not much more than two summer months July and August The ice does not begin to move out of the river until June and September ushers in a fall ing temperature By October intense winter weather has in with the thermometer sometimes registering seventy degrees below zero Although during the hot months the hills and river banks are with verdure clad luxuriant with tangled wildernesses of ferns shrubs and wild berrybushes it is thought to be next to impossible to cultivate even the most rapidgrowing crops In the winter months it is difficult to either secure or keep provisions of any cription on account of the intense cold Where the subsoil is sometimes frozen to a depth of two hundred feet it is plain to be seen that it is an undertaking of no small moment to manage the cuisine so that water does not have to be served with a hammer and bread with a pickaxe That part of the Yukon basin in which gold in greater or less quanti ties has actually been found lies partly in Alaska and partly in British terri tory and covers an area of some fifty thousand square miles But up to the present date the infinitely richest spot lies some one hundred miles east of the boundary line in the region drain ed by the Klondike River and its tributaries in northwestern British Columbia It has been said that one hundred thousand people could dis

reward for a days welldirected labor at the Klondike Opinions of the Jewry The Grand Jury at the General Sessions presented their report to Judge Friday and pro nounced themselves as being in favor of the ticket of leave plan The idea suggested is as follows When a man is sent down for a first offence and behaves himself in prison during part of his time that a commission take his case in hand If he is good during that time he should be releas ed on probation During his proba tion which lasts until the end of his sentence he must report to the autho rities at stated intervals If during the probationary period he makes any mistakes he must go back to prison without trial and work out the remainder of the old sentence The Grand Jurors found the Industrial was only half full that there was lack of care and order in the condition of buildings grounds state of boys clothing which is scarcely warranted considering that institution is paid per week for each boy and that they acres of land and all the suitable buildings The Grand Jury had nothing but praise for the other public institutions The girls cottage at the State Industrial school at S was burned on Tuesday night and teaoher and
