Letter From Youkon
Dawson City,
- , Canada.
Editor Observsr:
If you will kindly allow tue space in
your paper, I will take this means ol
letting my friends know of my where
abouts.
Borne of them kuow that I am away
up here in the North Land. as the old
poem in a school book reads," Where
the hours of the day are few,
And the nights are so long in winter
They cannot sleep them through." ..
, The long winter whioh lasts about
nine month has Just about gone.
While the time seemed quite long,
yet it was very Intereiting, being my
first year here. .Three months ol the
time we never saw the sunshine. And
then, another while was most all dark
nets. We would have' about three
hours of daylight, but now the days
are 'growing' muoh 'longer, end we
soarcely have any night. Very soon,
the sun will still be shining, so it will
be visible to us in the valley, at nine
or ten o'clock at night, while from the
bill tops it oan be seen at midnight.
It is indeed, a very interesting oouo
try. The snow is disappearing very
fast, and in a few days sluicing will
begin.
: The miners have been faithfully
toiling on, through the darkness and
cold all through the winter and now
tbiy are anxious to want) up the dirt
and see the beautiful gold.
I am bere with some friends on the
celebrated B.nanse creek.
People here are engaged principally
In placer mining.
. 8ome of the large dumps of ore on
this claim. contain thirteen thousand
buckets of pay dirt, averaging in value
from one to ten dollars per bucket.
" But I might give you some startling
statements, after the gold is washed
out.
I an not much of a miner myself.
In this country they call the new
comers "Obeeohaoos", but after tbey
stay until the ice breaks up in the
spring and the river opens (or naviga
tion, they are given that honorable
name of Som Dough." Bo I will be
wiser when I have become a "(torn
Dough." The river shows no sign of clearing
yet, but some time nezs month it is
supposed to break It will be about
the-middle of . June before the lakes
open, and until then we are still
bound In by the ice.
, The only means people have of get
ting into or out of the country now is
by stage, traveling three hundred and
siity five miles over the ice. The trip
is made in five days. Just now, on ac
count of the tra'l being in poor condi
tion they do not carry' much mail, so
I am not sure if this letter will reach
you. . , ; ; r -: ;.
But I do not like to dwell upon the
oold winter that has passed.
1 could have written of our different
etperienoes driving the dog teams etc.
But that has gone, and it is much
pleasacter to look forward to the beau
iful summer time.
The summers, though short, are
ideal. No country can outsLine them.
The wild flowers grow in profusion.
Wild berries, such as blueberries rasp
berries, oranberrios and currents are
very plentiful during July and August.
Nature is a little different here in
some respects. Just now ' there is not
a blade of grass nor a green leaf In
tight, but when It comes in May, in
one weeks time, everything Is green
and the trees are all full of leaves, and
about the first of June, the grass will
be up to one's waist." Vegetation grows
very fast on account of so muob sun-
People who have been here for seve
ral years have become very much at
tached to tbeoountry, and think there
is none better. . They are quite 00a
tented in the rude log cabins and with
the rustic furniture. ... ,.
