been found amid the snow and ice
of the Yukon territory, on the bor-
der of faraway Alaska, and adven-
turous spirits hastened from every
quarter Into the bleak and Inhosplta
ble land whose very name had been
till then unknown to tho vast majority.
Gold, Indeed, had been found there for
many years, but the phenomenal
wealth of Bonanza creek was only re-
vealed In 1S9G, and It was not till the
summer of 1897, when a steamer load
of happy miners—every one of whom
had "struck it rich" und bore with him
a fortune In dust and nuggets—arrived
at Seattle, that the world awoke to
the fact that another great goldfleld,
rivaling those of California and Aus-
tralia, had been discovered.
Klondike, Yukon, Bonanza, Eldorado
these magic words were on all men's
tongues In the closing years of the
nineteenth century, and extravagant
though the reports were that trickled
over the long and perilous path lying
between the frozen fastnesses of Klon-
dike and civilization, the reality far
surpassed the wildest estimates of the
first prospectors, and eventually It be-
came certain that the new gold-field
was the richest ever known In the his-
tory of placer-mining.
For this was not another Rand,
where without expensive machinery
and unlimited capital the earth could
not be made to yield an ounce of gold.
This was the poor man's gold field,
and he needed but a pick, a shovel,

Frozen Up In Winter.
The Yukon river is absolutely closed

months. In the winter the frost king
asserts his dominion and locks up all
approaches with Impenetrable Ice, and
the summer Is of tho briefest. It en-

The Klondike Today.
From 1900 the production gradually

fortune. To get there was the only
difficulty, for one had either to make
the long and costly Journey via the
mouth of the Yukon upstream to the
diggings, or land at Juneau or Dyea,
surmount the dangerous Chilcoot or
White passes, and then travel through
the line of lakes to the head waters
of the Yukon, and so downstream to
the newly-founded Dawson City—al-
ready a flourishing town of 4,000 in-
habitants. Now Dyea is deserted.
Gold Output of the Yukon.
Wealth beyond the dreams of ava-
rice awaited those who won through
to the Klondike. In the first season
the few pioneers took $1,500,000 out of
Eldorado creek alone, and claims were
selling for $500,000. A single "pan" of
"dirt"—two shovelfuls of earth—was
known lo yield $500, and $150 and $200
pans were plentiful. Men could earn
$15 to $20 a day in wages, and at
that figure labor was scarce, and an
attempted reduction wes speedily fol-
lowed by a strike. By the last year
of the century the population of the
Yukon territory hal grown to .10,000,
and the annual gold yield to $20,000,-
