MAIL IN THE WILDERNESS.
Tho annual mall for arctic circle
poluts within tho Dominion of Cniiadn
haa Just been despatched by way ol
Edmonton, Alberta, over a trial whicb
ls not only tho longest mall route It
the -world, but tho most desolato anil
most dlflicult. letters only aro car
ried, BayB a British Columbia corre
spondent of the New York Sun, and
these aro limited to ono ounce lr.
weight, as tlw cntiro hulk of the packet
wbeu It leaves Edmonton must cotut
within B00 pounds.
For tho 2-ccnt stamp which decorate
the corner of the envelope tho lettei
will bo carried in some cases from tht
extremes of South Africa, Australia oj
India, and It will most probably bs
necessary to havo tho carriers go flt
or Blx hundred miles into a frozen, for
bidding wilderness. Tlw government
expends upon the redemption of tin
contract of the stamp very many thou
sand times what It receives, and the
carrier mnst fight single-handed wltli
savage nature. His life ami the safotj
of the precious packet entrusted to him
are nt all times In hazard.
This ls tho first yenr In which th
postofllco department of Canada has as
sumed tho delivery of mall In tho ex
tremo north. The Hudson Bay Com
pany has heretofore carried message!
to and from the arctic and subarctic
country. Increases In the numbers oj
trappors, missionaries, prospectors, set
tiers and policemen In tho extreme
north explain tho taking over of tin
responsibility by the Postmaster Gen
eral of Canada.
Tho mall is divided Into two packeti
at Edmoutou, one for points ns fai
north aa Lac La Biche and Fort Res
olution, and the other for tho strag
gllng outposts of empire a far north
on Fort MoPherson, tho most northerly
depot even of the Hudson Bay Com
pany, noarly ono hundred miles within
tho arctic clrclo, where tho year ls di
vlded Into a single day and night.
The Lac La Biche mail goes by horsi
only one hundred and twenty miles out
of Edmonton. Thenceforward tho doj
and tlvo reindeer are tho carrier's assist
ants. From Edmonton to Fort McPher
son Is over a thousand miles. Ten In
tormedlate deliveries are made, and tht
mall arrives at the fort In April If 1
1ms no exceptional dnlnys.
Besldea theso pnekotis several othoi
packets go to the northlnnd about thh
season, bo that all the posts will re
eelve at least one mail a year. Then
ls a mall made up at Prince Albert
that goes as far as the head of Rein
deer Lake, at tho edge of the great Bar
ren Lands. The York Factory packet
runs to tho far north by way of Winni
peg and tho Nolson River. Tho Moost
packet ls made up at Mattawa, anil
goes by way of Ablttlbo River.
Tho carriers for tlvo cast and wesl
sliores of tho great bay sometimes meet
at the southern ports on tho shores ol
the bay, and the meetings arc imido tin

tions. Then each pas-ses on his way.
Ncwsparicrs and packages are carried
