STARTLING ADVICE.
lirtter Gold FleHs Thao the Klondike
Counry.
Washl irton, August 26. General W. W.
DitflMd. suiwrtntendent of th coast and
gMlc survey. In discussing the gold
discoveries in Alaska, gave this advice
to young mn:
"If I were a young man," he said.
"I should get about a T5-i schooner
ad 6e.ir.le. take supplies arvl engage the
wrvtce of a flrt-clas prwpeotor. Thn
I should cruise along the- southeastern
part of Alaska In what Is called Alex
ander archipelago. There are a number
of Islands there and more gold lodes
than at n.iy place with which I am ac
quainted. The mining would not be 'pla
cers.' but tho ore can bet gottor out
very rhenply. and being directly on the
sea. the transportation amounts to al
most nothing, except the time spent."
