From Klondike comes mueh of the gold and from Klondike Seems to com all., the fcicitement. A few " Underlet," going j it blind, have stirred tip the Nation. Out of the regions of their discovery hfts odme, it is estimated J$,00(. ,000 worth of gold dating the present ; summer. Nearly all of that gold has found its way into the United States. It is hard to tell whr tfc.e Alaska gold fields axe tecAted except that in a general way the best of them are along tha ukon. There are a few "lode" miners near Juneau and along the southeast coast of the Territory (the most accessible part of it), but the ore is of low grade and! mining is made profitable only by the most teareful management; J The placer mines, from which pros pectors are said now to be lining their pockets with gold, are in the region remote from civilization, little known, and, on account of its uncertainties, dangerously alluring to the average man. This gold-producing country of the interior is in the vicinity of the Yukon near where that great river turns to the west in its course to the sea Before the discoveries in the Klondike the most productive districts had, been along Forty Mile Creek, nsfcftlv in Tirifis'h and nortl-w in lmi. ;iin p:issfs to scale as dangerous ar can territory, and tho Birch Creek ti: " r u... t! a i I ...... . . . . district, ail in American territory.

They told almost incredible tales of the ' n hness of the newly discovered 'listiut. where fortunes had been ac 'f'lniuliiteil in a few months. Experi tnee.l miners and '' 'tenderfeet" seemed 1 liave .shared good fortune alike, and i'h some justice, too, for the credit 'f tin- iliseovery of the new gold fields is iln. to the inexperienced men. Another vessel brought to Seattle a Ptvon.l party of successful prospectors ft" l a ton and a half of gold. - These lu ii had endured peril .and undergone which the placer mining extends it is estimated that up to last year there were 2000 miners, j The districts in which' most of them worked were in a a broad belt of gold-producing: rock, through which quartz veins carrying gold occur frequently. Through the gold-beariug rocks the streams have cut deep gullies and cations, and in their beds the gold j which was con tained in the rock is concentrated. The mining of this country consists, therefore in washing j out the gravel of these beds. So the miners worked, beiug fairly well paid for their labor, until the "tenderfeet" made the Klon dike discovery. That.was nine months or so ago, and the news of it is just reaching the outside world. It was not long in reachiug the miners along Forty Mile and Birch' Creeks, though, and they shouldered j their picljs and moved forward in a , wild rush at the first word of the new lucky strike. As a result gold dust and nuggets by the ton are turned into the mints out on the coast, and men who never before rose above the level of the commonest of miners have come Lback to civiliza tion and comfort loaded with gold to last them a lifetime.!

There are Iwo general routes to the Klondike district. .From Ghlcag both ead to Seattle, and there diverge. One goes by ocean steamer west and a lit tle north, and passes through Dutch Harbor, at the extremd end of tho southwest Alaskan peninsula. From there the steamer turns north and con- mues on to St. Michael's Island.a little above the mouth of the Yukon, in Ber ing Sea. At that point passengers are ransf erred to the river steamers to be gin the long journey up the Yukon, which winds northward and eastward: and finally brings the traveler to Daw son City; now the principal town in the mining district although sixty-five miles from the Klondike fields. 1 The cost of the trip from Chicago this way, as prospecting miners usu ally travel, is $251.50. It is divided as follows t From Chicago to Seattle (second class) $51.50; from Seattle to Dawsori City, $20d. i 1 In time the trip costs thirty days bur from Chicago to Seattle, sixteen M'NFKS CKOSS1NO THE CIHLKOOT rASS.

Dawson City, the centre of the new mining region, although sixty-five miles distant from the Klondike; is said to be a typical mining camp minus the guns. Th British Govern ment enforces its laft in Dawson, and those laws prohibit tl e use of firearms, so few men carry guns. The laws of the camp are enforced by mounted po- but they do send delegates id , the Na I tional political conventions. The1 judi- ciai fuuetion there is exercised by ' district court; established, int . 1881. The court sits alternately at Sitka and "Wrangle. How odd for a court to sit at Sitka and Wrangle. . And speakiog of Wrangle, among the things Alaska has done for this coun try aside from stirring up the present A PLACER MINE IN ,THE KLONDIKE GOLD FIELDS. from Seattle to St. I Michael's Island. and ten up the Yukon to Dawson City i ii i". ii i mi . uy iuh last. uoat. xne aisiance in gen eral figures is 2250 miles from Chicago to Seattle, 2500 miles to St. Michael's Island and 1890 miles up the Yukon o Dawson, a total of about 6600 miles. The other way to the Klondike, the 'mountain route," is shorter in miles, but equally long in the time it requires and a great deal more difficult. By this route the traveler sails more di rectly north to Juneau, which is 899 miles from Seattle,' and then goes by lake and river and over the mountains 1000 miles to the new mining (terri tory. On arrival at Juneau the trav eler chauges to a! smaller boat and sails 100 miles north to Dyea. From there he has a portage of twenty-seven miles through the Chilkoot Pass. The last half-mile of this pass is-over a glacier and the severest of climbing. Chilkoot Indians are employed to pack supplies to the top of the pass, but from there on the traveler has to pack his own load. ' j After getting -through the Chilkoot Pass the traveler reaches Lake Lin de- man. At tnat point is a' sawmill, where boats are sold for $75 j each. Travelers who do not care to pay that price can purchase lumber and build their 3wn boats. The lumber can be bought for $100 a thousand j feet, and about 500 feet are required to build a boat that will answer the j purpose. Still other travelers carry whipesaws and get out their own lumber, "and a man handy with a saw and hammer can build a boat in three or four days. To continue the trip, though, a boat is necessary and by some : means or other one must be had. I j After securiug his boat the travel- ,n j -i -- i TP 1 . ' 1 er noats aown jiate xjinaeman ana Lake Bennett and then has half a mile of portage where his boat has to be moved on rollers. There is .any amount of rollers to be had, though, for earlier beaters of the path have left them. This half mile overland brings the traveler to Lake Tagish, through which he goes six miies ana over a quarter of a mile of portage to Mud Lake, and on to the White Horse Rapids. Here there is another port age of three-quarters of a mile, and the traveler brings his boat to j Lake Labarge. From there on the journey -I ml T 1 n r " I - T XI IS tnrougn iniriy -aiiio wuer, iue Lewis River, 150 miles to Five Fin ger Rapids, to the Yukon at Fort Sel kirk, and then down stream 250 miles to Dawson. I ' . - I 1 i lioe, whose captain is a civil officer. Though there are said to be 3000 peo ple In Dawson, few houses have been built, for the principsii reason that lumber is $100 per 1000 feet. The general fear is, of course, that there will be great suffering there this win ter, and it will be increased, it is ex pected, by the rush of unprepared prospectors who sailed for the new fields immediately on learning what luck had befallen those who have but recently returned. . To give an accurate idea of the oost of living in Dawson City, the price list of a general store there is herewith given: " i Flour, per 100 pounds. tl2.00 Moose ham, per pound 1.00 Caribou meat, per pound 65 Beans, per pouud. 10 Bice, per pound 25 Kugar, pr pound..... 25 Bacon, per pound...

The Alaskan coast line is greater than our Atlantic seaboard, but the entire population of whites, Eski mos and fierce Indians, who are called the Apaches of the north, is not much more than that of a ward division in Chicago. In acquiring the Alaskan Territory, thodgh the United States moved its center, figured in. geographical miles; not in area or population, as far west as Sau Francisco. The country now extends from about the sixty-fifth de gree of longitude up at the far east corner of Maine to the 122d degree up at tho far northwest tip of the Alaskan mainland. This is taking no account of the little island of Attu, 1000 miles out in tHe Pacific, beyond the Hawaiian group, which, . since the purchase of Alaska, has really been our western land limit. ; The United States, therefore, may almost say with England that the sun never set on its possessions. The principal river in Alaska, the Yukon, up wnich prospectors have to work their weary way to reach the gold fields was called by Schwatka, the Alaskan Nile. It rises a little more than 200 miles above Sitka, in the southern part of Alaska, and then strikes northward, following a broad circle to the west before it empties iDto Bering Sea through an extensive delta. Six hundred miles in from the gold excitement one of the most for ward was to iuvolve it in disputes with England on the boundary question and the seal fisheries business. Both of these disputes threatened war, but white-winged peace Settled over the situation in each case and brought the suggestion of that newly invented English-American institution arbitration. -However, the boundary question is not settled yet, and the Brit ish lion is even now roaring a little and angrily swishing its tail because of a diplomatic (the British call it undiplo matic) note from Secretary of State Sherman demanding that British ves sels "keep oft the grass" as it were in the seal fishing grounds. The Boundary Question. It was not unexpected, of course, that the discovery of gold in the Klon dike region would revive in a measure the old question of a boundary line be tween Alaska and the British North west Territory, : ' The Klondike fields are considerably east of Fort Cudahy and Dawson City4 and both of these are oh British soil. Into the new regions, though, Ameri can miners first ventured and made the first discoveries of gold. Since then hundreds of them have trooped over the border, staked out their claims in the rich hills and begun to dig. Should the Canadian Government pass an exclusion act all of these miners, of course, would be dispossessed. The difficulty of enforcing such an act, especially on miners who have staked out their claims, is at once ap- MINERS CROSSING THE BORDER. parent. The result in retaliation by the Government of the United States is also easily imagined. The Domin ion Government has already established a custom house on the border, and is doing a fair business collecting duty on the goods that go iuto the new country, and miners think they will be satisfied with that. The exclusion of Americans would practically close the country for a time, for the best of the means of transportation to that frozen region are owned by American companies. In the past miners of any national ity have been free to enter any new diggings and stake out their claims without restriction. Canadian miners are now free to work across the border in the Alaskan fields. What the result of an exclusion act wpuld mean to Canada in a retaliatory measure by the United States, Canadians know better than they can be told. It is not believed, however, that Canada will attempt to exclude Amer ican miners. It is true that the United States excludes Chinese, but Canada probably recognizes that keeping out Chinamen and barring the way for Americans are two different things. DAWSON CITY, IK THE KLONDIKE GOLD BEGION. The cost of the trip this way can not be definitely stated beyond. Ju neau, because after that point it de pends somewhat on the bargain made with the Chilkoot j Indians, who pack supplies through jthe pass, and the length of time the pverland part of the journey requires. The cost from Chi cago to Seattle is the same as by the other route, of course, $51.50 second class and $10 more for first class. ! The steamer fare up to Juneau and on to Dyea is $12. What it costs on the overland trip each traveler determines partially for himself, but tha Indians who act as guides and pack mpplies do not work without Ug p7 coast it is more than a mile wide and the volume of its water is so great as to freshen the ocean ten miles out from land. The principal cities of Alaska are Juneau and Sitka. They are both thriving towns, and probably they will thrive from now on, for a time at least, as they have never thriven before. : Alaska is ruled by a Territorial Gov ernor, who just now is J. G. Brady, recently appointed by President Mc Kinley to succeed James A. Sheakley. The Governor's residenoe is in Sitka.

The passengers on a Tenth street trolley car were treated to an unusual sight early yesterday morning. As the car was bowling along in- the vicinity of Parish street a couple of sparrows, one in chase of the other, swooped down in front of the car. The pursued, by a quick flank move ment, eluded its tormentor by darting under the roof of the front platform, and before the motorman knew what was up the bird had perched on his hand which gripped the lever. There it sat contentedly, while the passengers craned their necks to get a view of the odd spectacle. The sparrow didn't neem to mind the fact that the motor man's hand was constantly turning around as he manipulated his lever, and, after riding on its queer perch for fully a block, chirped its thanks and flew away.

"We hafo removed the judiciary ol the State to a rafe distance from the arena of partisan politics. "We have lifted the State govern ment out of the old ruts of l.ourbon ism and placed it in the hands of the people. "By our endeavor these fundamental principles and primary rights of Ameri can citizenship have been re established in our State, with many others of kin dred nature which flow therefrom. "But your committee would be derelict ih its duty if it did not warn you that if these blessings are to be preserved toils and transmitted to posterity, it must be done by and through the organization of the People's party. ' Ihe policy of tbe general govern ment, established alike by both the old parties, has built up monopolies, and these monopolies have in turn preyed upon the matarial interests of the coun try until there is great destitution, op pression and want in this land of plenty. "And the cry of distress has reached the ear and heart of the American peo ple. "In 1802 a long-suffering people re jected at the ballot-box the Republican party which had inaugurated a revenue and financial system fostering . trusts and combines. But the Democratic party being again in power, fed the people on broken promises while they carried out the policy of the Republi can party. "And now that the Republican party is again in control of national affairs, there is but little ground to hope for better times. ' "it is growing more apparent each year, that if relief is ever given by na tional legislation it must come through the People's party. "In view of these facts and the logi cal conclusions to be drawn therefrom, the duty of the hour is clearly seen. "The battles which we have so gal lantly fought for the last few years mubt be continued until all orgauized opio sition to good government shall have been overthrown. "To accomplish this , much desired end, there must be the utmost har mony, uuited action and erhibtent ef fort. "Those who are not for us are against us; aud all - those who stand upon the People's party platform are Populists. "No etty difference ou local policy or personal pique, should be allowed to mar the tianuony in our ranks. "Let us be united and stand as one man for good government and the b6t interests of tbe people. "The People's party is a j-oung giant scarcely five years old. "Its achievements in this State in es tablishing the rights of the people are equal to those of the barons of England at Runnymede in extorting from King John the Magna Chatta. "That we should have made mistakes is but - liuinau. No conquering army ever came out of the battle without something to regret; and no victory was ever wou without incurring unjust criticism from the vanquished. With this showing of the work done and the work to be done, and our willingness and ability to do it, and in consequence of the fact that the principles and measures embodied in the People's party platform, State and national, are finding lodgment in the minds of the great mass of ieople, we earnestly be lieve that if every true Porulit in the State will actively push the work of or ganization, our party will attract to its ranks thousands of others who are dis KUftted and di8tiriel with tbe con duct of the two old partien. We believe the sentiment of tbe people of the State to be in favor of a reluct ion of freights and passenger rat to a' low figure, corresitonding with prices prevailing under the single gold standard, which was foisted upon the people of the country by means of fraud and bribery.
