POSTAL SAVINGS BANK.
The papers all over the country
are agitatiDg the "savings bank"
question, contending that their
establishment would result in
much good. The Gazette would
be very remiss, as well as entirely
out of fashion, if it did sot fall
into line and give its mite towards
the good cause.
Man is largely swayed and con
trolled by the influence of exam
ple, and this characteristic of hu
man nature makes the postal sav
ings bank a benefit and a blessing.
One of these banks being started
in a community, the thrifty few
begin at once to make deposits.
Their example stimulates others
to thrift and economy, and thus
the benefits are soon carried into
a large portion of the homes.
Eight per cent of the depositors
in savings banks are in New Eng
land and New York. Some BO-

(amble. There is nothing left at the
camp at the preaent time but bacon and
beaos. Fortunately there is lots of
game bo J many of the people are busy
hunting. The mining is all done in the
winter time. A great deal of money
changes bands in gambling. Oaa large
saloon and gambling house takes in on
an average $1,400 a day. Six other
saloons take in 8300 a day each. All
drinks and cigars are 50 oents.
The Canadian government will find
itself in trouble it it tries to take every
other claim. The people intend to fight
this proportion. This will not affoct
most of the people that went in early
last winter.
There are 5,000 people now on the
trail trying to get in. Doubtless many
of these will die on the road from
starvation, and a large number will be

dogs at Skaguay to be in readiness for
him upon his return and with them will
take a quantity of provieions over the
trail to the camp. From reports he esti
mates that there will be 25,000 people in
there the coming season.
There are no idle people in the camp.
Nor are there any petty laroeny gentry.
The laws, whioh have been made by the
miners, are very strict, as a consequence
there is little fear of depredations being
committed. It oau be positively said
that there are no bums in the oountry.
This is explained in the faot that suoh
people would not risk the hardships that
are to be endured in get ting into the
oountry even were it possible to bum a
subeistenoe during the tryiog journey.
Lumber is very soaroe in that oountry.
It cannot be bad at all without going
from 15 to 40 miles for it. It is a mis
taken idea that fish are plentiful. They are
not. A fish weighing five or six pounds
costs 85.
There is stored at the present time in
two stores as mnob gold as could be car
ried by two freight cars waiting to be
shipped out of the oountry but it will

During the summer the people are
obliged to use gloves and oover their
faces and neoks with mosquito netting
to protect themselves from the gnats and
mosquitoes The lutter are so bad that
they at times stiug through buokskin
gloves. The enats are even worse than
the mosquitoes.
The news pertaining to that oountry
s greatly exaggerated by the press and
particularly by the Hun Franoisoo pa
pers. As an instance three men were in
terviewed by newspaper men upon their
arrival in the sound. They told the
scribe that they had $5000 among the
three of them. The papers came out
next day stating that they had returned
