If there is one place in the whole world where money has no value it is‘ an the Klondike. writes an American correspondent. You see this exempâ€" lified in the social lifeâ€"if such it may be calledâ€"of the mining camps as you see it nowlere else. 0n the Klondike gold is a common commodity. has been Written of this desolate reâ€" gion, but the historians have. as a rule. dwelt almost entirely upon the mineral development of the (ountry. It is my intenti 7D to give you a gliml Set of the peop'e. their customs, their amusements, and their utter disregard of the value of money. The principal diversions of Dawson are the gambling saloons and the (lance halls. The most profitable industry is the sale of liquor. the saloons paying no revenue to the government. Beer and whiskey sell for fifty cents a drink. halls never close until daylight. may be remarked, incidentally, that there are two churches, one a Rom- an Catholic and the other a Protestant. Episcopal. I fancy it would make some of your congregations stare to see the , finial leader of Dawson Chy‘ collection plates heaped up with nug- gets and dust on Sundays. ' Thewinning orlosing of from $1,000 to $3.000 at a gambling table excitesl no comment here. I was in the Gol- den Palace the other night, and the Golden Palace is by no means what its name implies, when Swiftwater Bill, a young man who hails from Spokane, Wash, came in and announced with a whoop that he was going to "bust the bank." GAMBLING IN DAWSON. Swiftwater Bill owns some of the rich- est. claims on Eldorado Creek, and when he breaks loose thedust is sure to fly. Bill took a. seat at the fare table, and in just one hour he had lost $7,500 in gold nuggets. “Things don't seem to be coming my way to-nlght," he re- marked as he rose from his seat and stretched himself. "Let the house have a. drink at my expense." There was a rush for the bar. and waiters carried drinks to the various tables where games were in progress. That round cost Bill $112. lighted a dollar and a. half cigar and strolled out. The gambling saloons, in external ap- pearance, are very much like all the other buildings in Dawson, except that they are larger, The gambling saloons are run , . r ~ ‘ . i - i .

The roofs are made of poles, on which a layer of moss fully ten inches thick is laid, and then a layer of dirt about twelve Inches deep serves to keep out the cold. Heavy embankments of earth piled up! against the huts on the outside serve as additional protection against the chilling blasts of the Arctic winter gales. A few saloons are built of lum- ber. with double walls between which sawdust and moss are tightly packed, but old Yukonels tell me that such constructed buildings are inadequate against the severe cold weather. Last year logs sold for $1.40 apiece, and now they bring as high as $4. build the commonest kind of a log cabâ€" in, say eighteen by twenty-four feet, costs in the neighborhood of $4,500. Games involving $5,000 and $10,000 are running night and day. Profes- sronal dealers of "banking games” re- ceive $20 a day. The manner of haz- ardrng money is unique even in a mining-camp. seat at a faro table, passes over his sack of gold dust to the dealer, who drops it into a small pigeonâ€"hole. The chance of “over-playing his sack" (le- volves upon the player’s honor. He is given full credit and can call for as m,any chips from the check rack as he desires. As the checks are passed out a. tab is dropped on his sack. At the con- clusion. of the play the chips on hand are credited to the account of the sack. The dealer hands the player a slip of paper showing the condition of the ac- count, and the latter takes it and his sack of gold to the bar. If he has lost. he weighs out, his gold dust, or, in the event of winning, the barkeeper does the paying. "SHORTY'S" FORGETFULNESS. About four o'clock one morning a miner known as “Shorty” left his seat atthe table where he had been playing all night, saying that he had gone broke. The dealer handed him his bag of dust and his slip, the latter cor- responding almost to a grain with the value of the gold. “Shorty’” walked over to the bar and invited a couple of other n iners to have a drink. Then he was seized with a fatal fit of forâ€" getfulness. He edged toward the door and was about to push it open when the barâ€" tender called to him:â€""Say, Shorty, haven’t you forgot something?“ "Forgot hell !” exclaimed Shorty, and the door swung out. When it rebounded it stopped half way, 0b- structed in its inward passage by the body of a dying man. A flash of flame and 'the report of a pistol from someâ€" where in that low ceilinged. smoke lu~ den room, explained the draught of cold air that came in through the half open door. “Shorty” was buried the next day.

The buildingr is. a large one. built of logs, but. with a, floor of rough hewn hoards. [t ansâ€" wers every purpose, however, for the mazy waltz and the two step are not px-pular with these boisterous revellers. They prefer the. old fashioned Virginia rec]. or the plain quarlrillc, with lots of room to throw their feel about. You could cut the tobacco laden at; mospberc. with a knife.

"Ladies throurrh l" as the Occasâ€" 5 ion demanded. They received 820 a night for doing this, and they earned every penny of it. To one side, extending the entire length of the room, was the bar, and the. three dispensers of drinks were what. better branld brought $40. of course, the men greatly outnumâ€" bered the women. There were pro- bably a dozen of the latter. some of them young and quite pretty. They have little or no time to rest between the dances, and when the morning sun peeps over the eastern mountains he finds them a jaded and somewhat bedâ€" ratcled lot. But they charge a dollar the acknowledged belle of the "dancing set." has been known to make ‘as much as a hundred dollars a night tripping the light fantastic toe. THE SOCIAL LEADER. A young fellow whom they called "Pinkey" was pointed out to me as the He was the only man in the room who wore. a boiled shirt. “'hen he goes to a dance, which is almOc‘t every night, he carries a pair of pumps with him. He leaves his boots behind the bar. dons has patent leathers and sails in on a wild career of terpsichorcan dis- SiPalion. "Pinkey" has been known to buy $120 worth of dances in three successive nights. Most of the men wore their ordinary working clothes, with top boots or heavy, spike bottom shoes. Their heads were covered by broad brimmed hats. which they never removed. and in their mouths were cigar butts, which seemed equally stationary. Fist fights form a mild sort of di- version at' these affairs. usually brought about by a dispute over who shall dance with the women. Occasion- a-“y the evening’s festivities willcon- clvde with a shooting affray, and along toward morning, when the corn juice has commenced to get in its fine work. a popular form of amusement is shootâ€" ing out the lights. But. as a rule fisti- cuffs find the greatest favor. \Vith all this talk about drinking and gambling saloons and dance balls, I dare say you are wondering if the in- habitants of Dawson City ever eat. I assure you they do, but it is quite as expensive a luxury as are the other forms of dissipation. Eating here is really a dissipation. If you don’t be- lieve it, I’ll tell you what my dinner consisted of to-day. I had sour dough bread, with molasses instead of butter. fried salt pork, stewed apples, oatmeal mush and tea. For supper I had tea. oatmeal mush. stewed apples and sour dough. bread, with molasses. For breakfast I shall have graham panâ€" cakes, fried oatmeal mush and coffee. DOGS BY THE HUNDREDS. I must tell you about the dogs. It is my honest conviction that no comâ€" munity of this size ever had so many dogs. It is estimated that there are nearly 1,500 of the animals in Dawson City, and as man .' more in the mines. The most of them are fine appearing fellows, and in the cold season net their owners handsome profits by haulâ€" ing sleds heavily laden with supplies to the adjacent mining camps. 1n town they travel in companies ranging from ten to twenty, and the moment they catch sight of another dog away from his company the pack will give chase. Dog fights are so common as not to ex- cite a passing glance. Personal vanity in the matter of dress is an item olfno small expense in Dawson City. I paid $1.75 for havâ€" ing a. white shirt washed and ironed the other day, and then I couldn’t wear it. The misguided laundress had not only starchod and ironed the bosom but had subjected the entire garment to that Operation. 1t might have been all right for a. suit of mail. but as an article of. fin de siecle Wearing apparel it; was quite out of the question. FORTUNES 1N ’J'HlRSTS. Aside from the twu rtores, three or four barber shops, half a dozen laundâ€" ries, five or six restaurants, a Second hand store or two, two sawmills, three butcher shops, two jewelry stores, a dozen physicians and dentists, a couple of real estate offices, the principal bus- iness engaged in is the sale of into.\i« canls. The receipts for sixty days last spring in one saloon amounted to $124,â€" 500. and the day the successful minch were taking their departure on the. first steamer of the season the receipts amounted to $6,500. - Hardly a saloon in town is receiving leSs than $300 a day, besides winning large sums of money at the gambling games. Barâ€" keepels are paid from $1250 to $20 a day, and even the porters, where such luxuries are deemed necessary, are paid from $7.50 to $10. A rumor has emaâ€" nated from official sources and is go- ing the round to the effect. that a Can- adian. official will arrive shortly and enforce a law permitting only hotel and inn keepers to engage in selling liquors.
