he Is free to Mty that If he had ever

panied ou the dow utrip by a young
man who Is Just out from Daw sou,
and Mr Roberts says the story told by
this parly is that of a great majority
who are getting out of the Yukon
country. One of the Gazette force had
a long interview with tho Yukoner
and his story is a dismal one. Thou
sands of people have louud uo gold
and will llt.d none. They would do
anything ulmost, give up anything to
reach the coast. It is bis opinion that
the country is very much over-rated,
and that w hile there Is aome gold in
Alaska aud the Northwest territory,
yet it is worth one's life to try to get
it, anil for tho average man a home in
a warm climate w ith Ji sta living In
sight Is much more preferable than a
life lu tho Yukon reglou, with 100
chances to 1 that failure will be the
result.
