THE KELONDIKE GOLD FIELDS.
Mr. Charles H. Metcalf, writing from
Dawson City on the Klondyke river,
under recent (late, says:
“Hero I find myself at last in the
midst of the greatest and most wonder
ful mining camp the world has ever
seen. Gold is so plenty that it has to
be carried about in cotton bags, and
four or five men are required to pack
and protect the products of many of the
claims. I have seen the result of one
day’s washing on a claim in Eldorado
creek, a I the figure was SIB,OOO for
twelve hours’ work of four men. This
claim was sold less than six months
ago for S3OO, and will produce more
than $1,000,000 before the end of the
year. The excitement is now so great
that no one will sell at any price, so
there is no chance for newcomers in
this immediate vicinity. The country is
full of prospectors, and every stream
within a hundred miles is located and
| claimed from one end to the other. On
the big creeks where the gold is found,
namely Bonanza and Eldorado, there
are many men who tried in every way
to sell their claims for a few hundred
dollars last winter but could find no
takers. These men are in possession
>f great wealth, which is even yet be
yond their capacity to realize. I could
not even attempt to picture this camp
or city to you. Thousands of men,
and women, too, for that matter, are
here living in tents, or log sheds, or
houses of boards with cloth roofs, each
habitation taking a position to suit
itself with no regard for its neighbor
or any form of regularity. The sawmill
is running night and day, and men are
lushing about at all times of day and
night and buildings of all kinds are
going up. Such is the power of gold
that before cold weather comes in Sep
tember this wilderness will be a city in
fact of many thousand people. I shall
go out to Bonanza creek in a day nr
two and look the ground over there.
I doubt, however, if anything can be
done while everybody is in this pres
ent state of excitement. Circle City is
a city no longer; with one or two ex
ceptions all the stores and shops are
losed and the entire population has
transferred itself to this new Eldorado,
each and all full of hope in the groat
golden handicap. Prospectors are rush
ing all over the country looking for
gold, but nothing of any consequence
has been found outside of the two big
creeeks I spoke of. A few men will
be made rich here, but everybody is
spending money in the most lavish
manner, and I am getting good prices
for the goods I have to sell. You re
member the two dogskin robes that cost
mo $4.50 each, and which I wanted so
much to bring a quantity of? Well, I
sold them both yesterday at S4O each,
and could sell a hundred more if I had
them; and this is a fair sample of
prices. We had no trouble on the
river this year, but I do not relish
making another trip if I could help It.
I don’t mind the intensely hard work
so much, but I find the worry and anxi
ety about getting the goods safely over
tho lakes and river very trying, and
people tell me 1 am looking thin. I
hear indirectly that Booth (a young
man Mr. Metcalf took with him) is do
ing very well on my claim. No. 3, on
Mastodon creek. The weather is very
hot and will result in much sickness
and suffering in this damp marsh. Dr.
Le Blanc hns begun business already,
nd will do exceedingly well I feel sure.
Ho will locate here for the winter.
While this town is a wonder at present
and growing fast. I think its life will be
short.
At Dyea, one hundred miles from
Juneau, the actual journey begins and
this is the most difficult and discour
aging part of the many miles to be
traversed. The most favorable time for
going into the interior is before the
snow melts from the mountains, which
does not occur till the middle of April,
for the abrupt passages and what is
known as the "summit” arc better ac
complished by hauling supplies on
THE GOLD FIELDS OF ALASKA THE DIRECT STEAMER ROUTE FROM SEATTLE TO CIRCLE CITY.

sleds, while tho pass is covered with
snow. After leaving Dyea goods must
be hauled six miles over the Dyea
Flats. From this point the route lies
through what is known as the canyon
where the trail leads up the steep and
rugged sides of the mountains along
a timbered shelf overlooking the can
yon until Sheep Camp is reached, a dis
tance of twelve miles. Here a rest is
taken to await favorable weather,
which at best is something terrible
with the thermometer as low as 60 to
80 degrees below zero. This stop is to
prepare one for the summit which is
eight miles further up and 3,500 foot
high and the most difficult and tedious
part of the Journey. The trail leads up
a narrow and precipitous defilo to
Stone House, another well-know’n rest
ing place, with a purely imaginative
name. This place is at the beginning
of the more abrupt climb and is three
miles from the summit. In fact, it is
nothing more nor less than a ledge.
An extract from one of Mr. Metcalf's
letters describing his first trip over the
summit is interesting.
“I had ten men working at the sum
mit hauling up goods with a windlass,
which we made, and about 4,000 feet of
rope which I brought for the purpose.
ACTUAL PHOTOGRAPHS OF SCENES ATTENDING GOLD EXCITEMENT IN THE KLONDIKE DISTRICT.
The work had been delayed quite a
time by storms, which are very fre
quent on the mountains, but on Sun
day night last I concluded that the
work was far enough along so that we
might break camp the next morning
and come to Lake Lindeman. I had
taken the precaution to send over a
small tent the day before in the event
of trouble in getting down on the other
side, but did not expect any. I had
not been over here up to that time but
the trail was being used constantly and
was hard nnd well marked. Well, Mon
day morning came and with it a clear
sky and no wind. I was up at 3:30 and
while Booth was getting breakfast I
had one load of our camp outfit and my
dog team ready to start. Breakfast
consisted of fried bacon, cold bread,
coffee and beans. Soon after 4 o’clock
I started for the summit, three miles
away, up the steep mountain side. I
was early at the foot of the summit
or last great rise, which is so steep that
everything must go up on men’s backs
or by windlass. Tho angle is so grent
that one might think the mountain was
leaning over and would fall that way.
Of course everything is covered with
many feet of snow. No men were
working yet. so I left my load to be
taken up when tho windlass started
and returned to camp. The round trip
had taken four hours. Booth had been
taking down the big tent and getting
the last things ready while I wus away.
Breaking a camp takes some time so
that 10 o’clock found us but Just ready
to start. The sun was quite warm nnd
the snow soft when we started but I
could see that there were light clouds
on the mountain and some indication
of wind. As we went up the wind be
gan to blow a little from the south
or at our backs. As we came nearer
the summit we began to meet the In
dian packers coming down, having quit
work above as the wind was getting
so strong. There are two benches or
narrow fiat places up the side and our
wdndlasß was placed on the first one
about 1,000 feet from the foot. We ar
rived at the foot a little before 1 o'clock
to find that the first load which con
tained our beds, had gone up, but be
fore this time the wind had gained
such velocity above that our men had
all quit work and left. We could not
turn back now so concluded to follow
our beds. After making everything
fast I unhitched the dogs and calling
them along we started to climb to the
top. This is no small task, I can tell
you, nnd when we arrived at the first
bench it was after 2 o’clock. Hero the
wind was blowing very hard and cold
and the small particles of ice that came
with it cut my face and hands so that
I could not face it .or take off my mit
tens. Here we found our beds and I
also managed to find a can of frozen
corn beef which tasted very good while
we sat for a short time behind a pile
of goods to rest. We packed our beds
from this bench to the next. The wind
had now become so strong that it would
almost carry me up the side. I believe
it would have been next to impossible
to go down again even.
“At the second bench I had hard
work to keep my feet at all but man-
aged to bind our beds on a sleigh, get
the dogs in and start for the last climb.
I never again expect to see such a
storm as was raging at the top! Snow
was now coming with the icy wind and
drifts were forming in all the protected
places. The noise of the storm was so
great that no other sound could be
heard. The war of contending ele
ments was magnificent but I felt quite
too insignificant long to be a witness
and was glad to get away as soon as
possible. The decent on this side Is
very steep but not so long. After let
ting the sleds go down we just sat down
in the soft snow nnd slid or dropped
to the level below, which is quite a
large body of water called ‘Crater
Lake,’ supposed to be the site of an old
volcano. It lies far above the timber
lino and is always frozen. Just at the
foot there was very little wind and
we stopped for a short time to rest
before starting out on the long run
of nine miles through tin* snow and
wind storm to this camp.
“Before the first few miles were
passed the drifting snow had so covered
the trail that the dogs could not follow
it and I had to go ahead and keep the
road while Booth looked after the team.
To find and keep a blind trail we use
a long sharp stick and by constant
punching we can tell the hard trail
from the soft snow at the side. I broke
trail that day most of the time on the
run for nearly seven miles, through a
snow storm so thick that nothing could
be seen and the wind howling at our
backs like a pack of hungry wolves.
At tho top of the canyon the wind was
less severe but the snow was drifting
and the gathering darkness made our
trip down the gorge rather unennny.
"We arrived safe and well only to
find that our tent was not yet up. Two
hours more, at 10 oclock. our regular
meal of bacon, beans and bread found
a very hearty reception, after which I
went to bed very tired, of course, after
nineteen hours of constant exertion but
comfortable in the feeling of good
health and strength which successful
combat with these grand and rugged
mountains must give to any one. and
not sorry to have seen this strange
land and its elements while at play in
one of their wildest moods.
A trip to the interior abounds in
many such hardships nnd adventures.
The safest way to get there Is to cross
Lake Lindeman in February or March,
while it is frozen, and stop at Lake
Bennett to build boats ami wait for the
Ice to break up. The Journey is then
continued by drifting down a series of
lakes and down the Yukon river. Be
fore the traveler can realize it he is at
the much talked of and treacherous
"White Horse Rapids" going through
which many men have lost their lives.
As soon as the warm weather begins
gnats, poisonous flies and mosquitoes
make life a burden. The stories told
of the numbers and voraciousness of
the native mosquitoes are nlmost In
credible. Lieut. Schwatka states In his
report of a voyage down the Yukon
that he has seen mosquitoes in such
numbers as to cloud the sun and ob
struct the vision. Dogs and game have
been killed by the bites of mosquitoes;
even the huge black hear is not ex
empt from the pest as the continual
bites produce inflammation of the eyes,
causing blindness. Judging from re
ports an asbestos mosquito net should
be In the outfit of evory miner. Min
ing operations cannot begin until the
Ice melts, from June 1st to the 15th.
About the middle of September the sun
drops so low that ice soon forms and
active operations must be discontinued
tin til the following season. The season
is short, yet from June 15 until Aug. 1
the sun shines twenty-two hours out of
the twenty-four, and during the re
maining two hours work can be done.
Accordingly when a rich claim Is found
two or three sets of men are employed
and work goes on continually.
The Yukon country Is no place for a
man without money. Every man who
goes there must expect to work and
work hard. No credit is given on a
man’s face. That day is gone. Mr.
Mitchell says that before men make
a rush from Michigan to the Klondyke
gold fields, it would be well to remem
ber that while miners make from $15
to $20 a day, it Is at the most for only
about sixty days, and provisions are
about 50 cents an ounce; that there are
2,000 men existing in about 150 log
huts, and thousands more were ex
pected during the spring and summer
and that the malls are most Infrequent,
and uncertain. Gold is there in abun
dance to be sure, but the difficulty in
getting It is exceedingly great. Mr.
Metcalf cannot emphasize too strongly
the difficulties and dangers and hard
ships of a trip to the interior and
would warn everybody to keep away
unless provided with several hundred
dollars and clothing and provisions to
last for at least one year.
OUR SMALLER COLLEGES.

"There are a few striking facts about
the small American college,” writes Ed
ward W. Bok in the Ladies' Home
Journal. “One striking fnct is that 60
per cent of the brainiest Americans who
have risen to prominence and success
tare graduates of colleges whose names
are scarcely known outside of their own
states. It is a fact, also, that during
the past ten years the majority of the
new and best methods of learning have
emanated from the smaller col
leges, and have been adopted
later by the larger ones. Be
cause a college happens to be un
known two hundred miles from the
place of its location does not always
mean that the college is not worthy of
wider repute. The fact can not be dis
puted that the most direct teaching, and
necessarily the teaching most produc
tive of good results, is being done in
the smaller American colleges. The
names of these colleges may not be fa
miliar to the majority of people, but
that makes them none the less worthy
places of learning. The larger colleges
are unquestionably good. But there
are smaller colleges just as good, and,
in some respects, better. Some of the
finest educators we have are attached
to the faculties of the smaller institu
tions of learning. Young girls or
young men who are being educated at
one of the smaller colleges need never
feel that the fact of the college being a
small one places them at a disadvan
tage in comparison with the friend or
companion who hns been sent to a lar
ger and better known college. It is not
the college; it Is the student.”
