In The Klondike

Dr. A. B. Salisbury has ju.st received another interesting letter from his son, George, who is now at Skaguay on his ■sv-ay to the Klondike. In brief the letter reacis: "I have been on the trail for the last 20 days and have just come into Skaguay today to get mail. 1 have 1,200 poun'ïs of provisions over the summit. I was eight days in the tent unable to get out on account of the cold weather, often it goes from 40 to 60 below zero. Today I have traveled thirty miles on snow and don't feel very tired. From here I shall go to Lake Bennett at once. I have a team of goats and thev are a great help. We use a sleigh eight feet long and 14 inches wide. I can eat four pounds of bacon at a meal. Hundreds of people are coming in every day, and the trail, 21 miles long, is one steady stream of men, horses, dogs nnd oxen. All workmen get 50 cents an hour; you can get a meal for 25 cents but a good one costs a dollar. Cigars are 25 cents apiece and the betttr grade run as high as 50 cents. I have enough plain, musole-making food to last me." Continuing, George says he has spent $1200 since last July. He will stay until he has $35.000.
