is limited to four claims. There is

That is what I have been waiting for;
but the Canadian mail has not arrived.
As a result of the present law everyone !
is staking all the claims they can, and j
are in hopes of selling out and getting'
out of the country. Recording fee for j
location is $15, and ai the end of a year
you must pay $100 to record again, and
in addition do three months work on
each claim. Assessment work now costs '
$1000 per claim.
Everything good, bad or worthless

moose and carabou, ditto.
And now I come to an eye opener:
Ten-quart pails, $7; sheet-iron camp
stoves, $50. Other things in that line,
ditto. Stove-pipe was $2 per joint while
it lasted. There is only one tin shop
here, and they sold 8000 joints of pipe,
and stoves in proportion. There etock
is exhausted. One of the firm went
outside to get stock. The Alaska Com
mercial Co. and the North American
Transportation & Trading Co. bring in
stock, but not enough to supply the de
mand. A tin Etore here would pay as
well as an Eldorado mine; but who
knows how many will be here within
six months.
Last summer packing cost 14 cent per
