GETTING TU WORDS 0F WAEITIIVG FiiOIl‘i THE LONDON FINANCIAL TIMES. “ital a i-umous Explorer has lo Say About the Trials and Tribulations of :i 'l‘rlp Til‘lhcr. The financial Times, London, writes on the Canadian gold country as folâ€" lows; In general terms we all know that there are difficulties in the way 0f getting to the goldficlds on the Yukon River. But, Speaking for our- selves. we had not. the faintest conâ€" ception of the extent of these diffiâ€" culties until we read in this month’s Strand Magazine. an interview with Mr. Harry'de. \\‘indt. a wellâ€"known â€"almost famousâ€"explorer, who has been there. The recital of the obstacles in the way of getting to the. fields would make a li»lnetallist chortle in his joy, were it. not for the fact that Mr. de \Vindt predicts that all the troubles willultimately be overcome. His statements bear the unmistakable impress of truth, impartiality and inâ€" telligence. N0 AXE T0 GRIND. There is obviously no axe to grind: the explorer,iwhile narrating his own experiences, of a kind calculated to give one a cold shiver down the spine, concludes in this wiseâ€"“As to the [great Klondike ‘rush’ next spring, there is no doubt it will alter the face of the entire region, the climate not- withstanding. Railways and steamships and telegraphs will soon be established, Fortunes will be made and the unlucky forced to the wall. Sensational reports may be expected daily, for the place isa real'Tom Tiddler's ground,iioncy- combed by rivers and creeks with sands of gold. There is plenty of room for all between the Klondike to the Casâ€" siar. I ‘ "Let the gold seekers take their time and make prudent preparations The ultimate result will doubtless be that a little known region will be dotted with thriving cities, and the shouts of triumph from the fortunate few will drown the dying walls of the many who will fail.” These words are worthy of consideration by all interested, either as prospective gold seekers on their own account or through the media of exploration and development. com- panies. To these companies, as to in- dividuial prospectors, the remark ap- plies that "the shouts of triumph from the fortunate few will drown the dy- ing walls of tne many who \Vlii fail.” NOT A HAPPY LOT. Mr. de \Vindt is very careful to warn everybody who starts from England for the Klondike fields,that itismad- mess to do so with less than £300 capi- tal. “You’ve got. to get yourself, and perhaps half a ton of stores, over thousands of miles of. awful countryâ€"â€" snow mountains, stormy lakes and rag- ing rapids.” That is not a cheering prospect, and there are other trifling details, such as snow blindness, acci- dents on the water, scurvy,filthy comâ€" panionship physically and morally, acci- dents in mountain climbing and so on. Taking one consideration with. anâ€" other, the Klondike explorer‘s lot is not a happy one. i _ The photographs illustrating thisinâ€" terview, are all interesting, and one in particular is appaling. it makes one feel giddy to look at the picture of Mr. de \‘l'indt, scaling a precipice at an angle of more than 45 degrees, as a necessary stage in his journey to the fields. At one point in the journey, when transportation by water becomes necessary, the explorer or prospector has to build his own boat! On arriving at the head of Lake Linde- mann, the first of a chain of five lakes, this becomes essential: “You must build a boat here capable of carrying yourself and your stores hun- dreds of miles across lakes and through rapids It doesn’t matten if you know nothing of boat building; you must build some sort of boat or raft, or else turn back over the awful Chilcoot. 'Where is the woodl’ you ask in dis- You have to fell the trees for may. itâ€"aye, and travel miles to find a tree, so disafforested has this Spot been by hundreds of eager gold-seekâ€" ers. In your baggage should be not merely the tools for tree felling ind plank sawing, but even the very pitch which is to caulk the seams of your crazy craft.” DRAWING THE MORAL. The starting point from comparative civilization is.a place called Jureau, and when you leave that, says Mr. de \Vindt, “there is no more food for eight hundred miles, and gold won’t ouy it." Miners, he adds, have been found dying of starvation in the camps with sacks of gold (lust for their pil- lows. The moral to be drawn from what Mr. de Windt, asan explorer, has said regarding the way of getting to Klon- dike is a veryJSimple one. The gold fields are of fabulous richness, but to get at them involves fearful risks of every conceivable kind. The richness of the fields. however, is such as to promise ample profit to those who ven- ture to spend their money in providing facilities for access. in the best event it is a gamble, but the possibilities of gain in Klondike are illimitable, and the people who provide the means of getting there in a reasonable time, ind with only a moderate danger to life and limb, will be certainly on- titled to a very handsome percentage on the capital they put in, keeping in mind the very serious risks they un- dertake. The problem of transportaâ€" tion is the onei to be solved. There is no question as to the outcome. pro- vided that this result is arrived at. But. here \ie must warn our readers to be very watchful in one special re- spect. Assuming that, the existing dif- ficulties in transport are overcome, it will be the height of folly to accept as a basis for. an estimate of future earnings, and thereby for capitalizâ€" m MMâ€" ;ition. the onerous rates for i of b freiu hi and passenger traffic \\I.i‘Il could readily be obtained at prcsent as an alternative to climlinl.’ lrcl'ipiccs. dying of starvation. living frown to dualh. or dashed to pit-cos in descendâ€" inst,r rapids ('ANADA GIVES \VARNING.

A WIDOW’S STRUGGLE. HARD WORK BROUGHT ON A SEVERE ILLNESS. Nervous I'errnilolI. Dizziness and Ex- lremc \Venkncssâ€"Dr. “'Illiams' Pink Pills (‘nmc In Her licscnc After Hospital Trcalmcnt lj‘nJled. From the Fort \Villiam Journal. In the town of Fort William lives a brave widow, who for years has by dint‘ of constant labor kept the wolf from the door and her little family together. From morning till night she toiled to provide comforts for her loved ones until nature at last protest- ed against such a constant drain on her strength. and so she began tolosc health. Soon the slender frame lic~ came unable to bear its daily load of toil. and the poor mother was at last forced to give up the unequal conâ€" test, and become a burden where she had once been the chief support. Nv-ncus prostration. heart disease, consumption, and other names were given to her malady by local physic- ians. but months passed, during which she suffered untold agony. without finding any relief from her sufferings. Palpitation of the heart. dizziness, ex- treme pain in the chest, loss of appe- tite arid nervousness were some of the symptoms of the disease, gatherings that caused exi'iuciating rain formed at the knee joinls and other parts of the body. ant at last she became per- fectly helpless and unable l0 walk or even sit up. At this stage she was advised to enter the hosglital, that she might have the benefit of skilled nurses as well as best medical treatâ€" ment; but after srending some time there without obtaining any relief the poor woman gave up all hope of recov- cry and asked to be. taken home. So emancipated and weak had she become that her friends were shocked at her appearance. and so utterly hopeless was her condition that it was like mockery to speak hopefully of her ultimate recovery. “'hat then was the astonishment of all who had known her dregdful condition tohear that she had at last found a remedy whose magical power at once demon- strated the fact that where there is life there is hope. The name of this remedy that worked such a wonderful change in suchashort. time was Dr. \Villiams' Pink Pills, and after taking five boxes she was able to walk about and visit her friends. Her strength gradually but surely returned and ina few months from the time she began using the medicine she was able to re- sume her work. The subject of this article. Mrs. Jane Marceille, is well known. and her youthful and healthy appearance [0â€"day causes people to exâ€" claiuiâ€"won‘ders will never cease. She attributes her restoration to her fain- ily. solely to the'virtues to be found in Dr. ‘d'illiams’ Pink Pills._and her ex- perience she hopes. may put: some other sufferer on the right road] to health. This great remedy enriches and pur- ifies the blood. strengthens the nerves. and in this way goes to the root of disease. driving it from the system. and curing when other remedies fail. Every box of the genuine Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills has the trade mark on the wrapper around the box. and the purchase can protect himself from imposition by refusing all others. Sold by all dealers at 50 cents a box or SlX boxes for $2.50, __._..___ BEASTS, BIRDS AND FISH. The Caymans in the West Indies ex- port nothing but turtles.
