W. Burner, an American physician who has been liv ing In the Klondike for the last thrve years. ' .

HU tory of toe Improvement; In the traveling facllltle It a revelation and traveling facilities are to much Improved that he expects to be back in Dawson City in twelve days from Phil adelphia, barring long waits for boats caused by missing connection. There Is no mora use for sleds and d"ga and the dangers of Chilkoot pans are now over. Dawson City can be reached from Philadelphia by rail and by boat with the single rxoepUon of Ave miles portage around the grand canyon of White llonns rapid. The latest newt from the Klondike, he says, that I can give you Is concern ing th narrow gauge railroad which ha recently been built up the White Pass. That little railroad ha revolu tionized travel In the gold fields and has taken almost ail the dangt-r out of the Journey. It runs from Skaguay up the White Pass to the headwaters of Lake Bennett from which place the reat of the journey can be made (o Dawson City by water. Chilkoot Pass, whose name has be come fearful to ail travelers, hat been abandoned and with It the city of Dyeu across the Lynn canal from Ekagway. At the present lime It would cet about JI?5 to go first class from Phil adelphia to Dawson City, and barring delays occasioned by waiting for bouts the trip could bo made in twelve days. It would take four and one-half days to go to Seattle, a distance of over S.000 miles. There you would take the boat to Skagway, 1.000 mlh more, and you would then be on the boat three days. Eo that in seven days you would be In Alaska. From Skaway by rail up Ihe White Pass to Bennett. 41 milts In four hours.

This rout Is only practical from the end of June to the middle of Sep tember, while the other, Is only cloned two months In the year. The Take Pass." Jatk Daltun's Trail, the Stli klne route and the Chilkoot pass are now considered unfavorable. For the last two years there has been any amount of boats running from Se attle to St. Michael and Skagway. Na turally these boats are handsomely fit ted up so handsome In fact that the sudden changj to the dog sledge and Chilkot pass was fearful. In those days transportation down the Yukon river wus had by .ivans of log rafts or duirouts and many lives were lout In the Icy waters But now regular lints of steamers play between Fort Benneitt, on one of the tributaries of the Yukon, to Daw son City. Fort Bennett I at the end of the White Pas. In which the little Alaskan railroad runs. These river boats are nicely fitted up. They have an elwctrlc plant which furnishes light; regular steam radia tors which supply the heat: cushioned chairs and benches and carpeted floors. Indeed, to comfortable are they that one often forges that he Is In that dread cold country, Alaska, which fif teen years ago was practically unln habited by whites and knew nothing of j depth Is not the mild cold that exists civilization.

The canyon lsth.- ground so as to make it aslly very hlRh. The snow never melts on the summit. Of course, It Is Imposs ble for a bat to live in Its rapids. In; the winter the water freezes within1 It narrow walls. The ret of the wa ter piles In upon It freezing in turn nn-' til there Is a solid mass of Ice almost to the top of the canyon. In summer the river rushes through, with grvit noise. The traveler to the Klondike change boats here and Is , carl?4, bag and batfirage, on dog sledge or In the summer on wagon to the other tnd of the canyon five miles' away, wh?re a new boat Just as hand-j tomely fitted up a th first one It waiting him: and In two dayt he is In Dawson City. Pa ton City, too It a revelation. It 1 th larjrest woolen city In the world. It had when I left It some twenty ho tel and boarding house, two banks. and Ave play house. It l lighted by electricity and ha a water work which when completed will Mal that of Phil adelphia. Of course, I know that Isn't saying much, but It U pretty good for Dawson, which la mtlly only about five years old. It l well drained and Ita sewerage system la nearly perfect. The wage there for the common handler of the pick and shovel Ii dol lar an hour, but rt ooU from six to nine dollurx a.iny to board at any one of the twenty hotels, and meal rang from two to four dollars, depending upon what you eat. I have, on occasions when I wa rvai hungry, devoured $15 worth at a clip. On an average It costs a man 115 a day to live. 'There lit very Utile rowdyism going onj at Dawson City. A great many people j think the town Is like tne mining uw of Denver and San Francisco, and that ! everybody carrie a gun. It is not so. 1 If they caioh you with a gun In the town thy arrest you and glw you six months at hard labor on the wood pIKt for the queen. The Klondike Is civilised. That It proven by th Improvements we have put In so rapidly up there. I'd rather t my chanoea i the sreets of Dawson with $5,000 in gold In my pock ets than I would In any of your Eastern pltk with Kl of gold. tt la not entirely due to U mounted police that the country la so p-o.We. The. men are all good men. There aix no foreigners there who will work for almost nothing. The miner is a miner.

Bealdt that the men love the. ue-i cauws of the effittlve mall system th.-y have established during tne u- su- ton when the boats which contract to. bring the muil cannot gvl through. Th mounted police have relay stations : every twenty or thirty mile api :., They carry the mail on dog sieges. I the dogs and the driver being changed j at each station. In this way the dl-. tance from Slfwa)' to Dawson, W0 mile, is covered In a remarkable short time and the boys In Dawson City et their mall from Seattle In twelve to fourteen daya. J. C. McCook. the United States con sul from Philadelphia. Is another 'man I want to say a good word for. There were a number of Americans who got stranded In Dawson and applloJ to him to help them out. He hadn't any mon ey to do it with and they came buck to this country and spread nasty re ports about him. Every one of th.-m It untrue. He It serving hi country well and faithfully and has won the respect of all true Amerlcaua In Daw on City. There Is nothing in the popular id-.a about the dangers of the Klondike. Everywhere you hear storiet of suddec death In turbid watert or by freeiing. I do not deny hM some men have lost their lives or had hard luck In Alaska, but it was their own fault not the fault of the country. In the first pluce un less you know something about mln- 1 lig or hnve money enough n buy that iran. There is very llltl quariz imnlnx d )1K, n laklli lh(J of lt , placrr mining. Of course, when the water Is fro.eii up f.r to or four months In the winter there Is no washing don Hal the work goes on Just the Mine. In the fall winter and spring we dig nut the soil and pile It up near the sluice boxes. When the water is warm in the summer and running freely we dump th- dirt into the boxes and w ash out the gold. I have seen as much as half a million in gold dust stored a'.vay In tin cans at the foot of a man's bed and the dis.r was not locked night or day. The man who would steal ai'.otliert gold woull not get out of the country alive. The difficulty which we must solve In the Klondike is the frost In the ground. The cold In the air Is not troublesome, and when we are alj dressed in furs we cease to think about It. The frost In the earth has to be thawed out be fore the soil will answer to the pick. This Is done by means of a "blower," fed by caroBene, something like the blower you see used on the asphalt pavement. It Is also done by steam. Shafts have be-n sunk lo the depth r.f OTC. f.w. l 1....... v . . the frost, but without success. Prof. Hellprln, of he Academy of Natural Sciences, whom I met up In Dawson, Is of the opinion that the cold which froze up that ground to so great a workable. Very little coal is burned In Dawson. There Is an abundance of wood of the pine tree type, which makes excellent fires, and 'It Is this fuel which Is used to make steam. THE DOG KXPECTED IT. I New York Tribune. 1 A New York socMy dame who Is an ardent upholder of the Society for the j Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,; owns a little fox terrier of which she , Is exceedingly fond. A man who had; called on her the other day was ad-' miring the dog and asked Its mlstr ssi how the, with all her human theorlet, i could have allowed the cruel dog fan cier to cut off the dog's tall and cam to the fashionable degree of brevity. Th dame drew herself up and replied, with tome degre of hauteur: ' My dear air, 8nap expected It. Every thoroughbred fox terrier expects to have his lt and tall hirtened." And that humbled man went away saying to himself. "That's the first I ever thought of 'noble oblige' as ap plying to Tox terriers." LONDON'S WATER.
