Clmrlm Haloes, Now nt Diiwuon City, Writes Interestingly of Alaska. San Fiiancibco, Sept. 2. The Hub letln received a letter from Charles Haines, dated Dawson City, July 20. Mr. Haines is a well-known news paper writer, and his letter is tho first written by a trained newspaper man to come out of tho Klondike gold re gions. He says: Tho tnnn who comes hero to tnfno (loos It nt tho expense of health and happiness, and It Is with him u question of making a fortune quick ly or taking cliiuiccfl with death. About mo ore scores of men who can weigh their Bold by tho bucketful and who vidua thoir claims nt millions. Four hundred viilutiblo diggings ro stretched along tho creeks, and every (lliudnsr Is a fabulous mlno of roUI, yet there uro weary men who have Kono and returned to Dawson, uftcr scurcUnv tho Krent country hereabouts, and nover n tiiitfiret do they show for their toll, their lone tramp over broken rrounil and Into n country whoso disadvantages aro exceeded by no other placo on earth. Dawson Is merely a collection of lojj huts, sa loons and tents, nbout 000 In number. When tho long nlKhts como and tho class jjoes down to &') degrees below zero, there will bo Intense suffering here, and 1 shudder to think of tbo results Provisions aro going to bo very scarce, nnd there Is little reason to doubt that tho en tire town will havo to goon short rations dur ing tho winter, and that hcurvy will bo ram pant. The gold that will go down the river for San Francisco and Seattlo will nmount to about $2 O00.0JO. There Is n lot of gold that will re main In camp, for it is used as nn equivalent of money and is lcrnl tender at $17 per ounce. Of the:i,0;0 or 1,000 inhabitants only a couplo of hundred at tho most have made big strikes. There is plenty of work at from $15 to !,'0 per day, and many men luivo paid $2.f0 per day or less for living and saved tho balance. In conclusion tho Alaska and Northwest Territory gold Holds will bo developed slowly. Ten thousand men may como here, but they will be lost In tho vast country when they spread out to prospect. Not more thanf0)of them will strlko mines. When they do striko pay gravel their fortunes will bo made. In years to come, when at tho sacrlllce of human life and energy, tho treasures of this groat land are located, tho wealth of the north will bo something beyond comprehension. A WORTHY WORK. A. ).
