A YUKON OUTFIT
WHAT THE GOLD HUNTER
SHOULD TAKE.
found Advice for Those TTko Coutern-
plate Reeking; Their Fortni In the
w Gold Flelde of Alaska and the
Northwest Territory. ' ; v
Special Correspondence.
The most practical and vital question
to be decided by the man who intends
to go to the Yukon next year is the
composition and quantity of his outfit.
What should he take and how much ol
it. This is far more important a ques
tion than that of the route he shall se
lect, since by any regular route he
would probably reach his destination,
while should he not have a proper out.
fit, he would be likely to find his labor
to have been all in vain, with failure
and possible starvation staring him in
the face. : :
Whatever a man would require to
eat, to wear or to work with he should
take with him. To go into that coun
try depending upon being able to pur
chase any of the necessaries of life or
successful work is to run the risk of
utter failure and calamity. Again and
again was this asserted by experienced
Yukoners when the excitement broke
out in July. Publicly through the
press and privately on all occasions
they advised gold seekers to take with
tbern a complete equipment for IS
months, certainly not less than a year,
and to place no dependence whatever
upon being able to purchase what they
might need from trading poets. This
advice was bassed upon the well-known
conditions of work and transportation
in that region. The miner might be
located several hundred miles by a trail
Impassable in winter from the nearest
trading post, while the post itself, even
if accessible, might fail to secure a
stock of goods. 5 '-. J 5
The soundness of this advice has
been amply demonstrated the present
season. ' Hundreds who did not give it
sufficient -weight, have rushed , into
Dawson City with not enough food to
last tbem through the winter, only to
find that not a pound of food is 'to be
purchased there, and that they are but
adding to the distress of those already
threatened with starvation. They
have not done this in ignorance, but in
defiance of the advice of men of experi
ence. The golden mirage of their im
aginations has blinded them to the
practical, and they have rushedhead
long to needless hardships, if not de
struction. Yet the majority of them
took this advice seriously at first, and
equipped themselves well for the jour
ney. Very few, indeed, of those who
have reached Dawson with almost noth
ing for their support this winter, land
ed at Dyea or Skagway with less than
a thousand pounds of supplies each.
The secret of their present shortness is
the difficulties of the trail and their in
tense eagerness to reach their destina
tion. They have disposed of or aban
doned the bulk of their outfits, trusting
to luck, or the deity supposed to have
fools in his . special charge, to get
through the winter somehow. (Tbey
would have done better to have camped
at the lakes till spring, than to have
gone on to Dawson short of supplies.
They would have done still better, when
tbey found they could not get through
this fall in good shape, to have returned
to the coast and waited until spring for
another attempt fully equipped. Those
who followed this course are infinetly
better oft than those who sacrificed
everything to their issane eagerness to
get through, and are now at Dawson
with nothing to do and threatened with
being overwhelmed by a calamity of
their own creation.
The value of the advice given to those
who started last fall has been demon
strated by their experiences. The same
advice is as valuable to those who will
go in the spring. Take everything
?with you that you anticipate to need
for a year for any purpose, and do not
depend upon being able to buy anything
whatever. It is folly to take for grant
ed that there will be eo.many new
steamers on the river next year that the
country will be amply supplied with
food and other necessaries. Assuming
that transportation facilities will be in
creased ten times, this will be offset
by the undoubted fact that more than
ten times as many persons will go in as
are there now, and that the added trans
portation facilities will bensed to carry
them and their outfits. To the thou
sands who are already there and must
depend entirely upon supplies brought
in for sale, must be added the other
thousands who will not heed the voice
of prudence and will rush in lightly
equipped, depending upon purchasing
what they need for the winter. It is
extremely doubtful whether enough
goods for sale can betaken in next
summer to supply this demand. In
deed, in view of the experiences of this
year, it is almost certain that they can
not .',.,'.
Even if it were not for this uncer-t
tninty, the conditions of successful work
there require that the miner take in a
full equipment and have it with bim
wherever he goes. The Yukon gold
fields cover a great area of country,
while the trading posts are few and at
present only along the Yukon river.
Other posts will doubtless be estab
lished next year, near such new dis
tricts as may become populous, yet even
these will be only at points accessible
to steamers. Those going to the gold
fields must not expect to find claims
near the present centers of population.
They will be compelled to prospect dis
tant stream and gulches, and if suc
cessful, they may locate several hun
dred mile from the nearest store. To
be compelled to make a journey after
supplies might cause the loss of the en
tire season's prospecting, even assuming
that the things needed could be pur
chased at alL Every prospeoting party
should bo fully equipeped to subsist
itself for a year. Otherwise it can not
carry on its work tinder the conditions
necessary for success. This is made
clear when One understands the method
of mining and the difficulties of travel
in the winter season, in a mountainous
region without trails, the ground cov
ered with snow and the thermometer
almost continuously below aero.
The ground ia frozen from surface to
bedrook, a distance varying in mining
claims from 20 to 40 . feet. Even in
summer it thaws out less than a foot
from the surface. The best pay dirt or
gravel is just above the bed rock, and
to sink a shaft down to this requires a
great deal of fuel, and it takes many ,
weeks of hard work in the open season
to gather fuel enough to last through
the winter for heating and working
purposes. Water for washing out the
dirt and extracting the gold can he had
only in the summer and early fall. In
some districts water flows only a few
weeks each year. All the dirt taken
out of the shaft is piled up bear it till
the following summer,. and until then
the miner can not tell what will be the
result of his year's labor.
This is the ordinary programme of
the Yukon miner. lie reaches the gold
fields in June or July. He spends the
next few weeks in ; prospecting and
finally locates a claim. There ia then
but a Bhort time left in which to gather
fire wood and prepare for work. Dur
ing the winter he sinks his shaft and
piles up the dirt to be run through
sluice boxes the next summer. Wheq
be can get water he begins washing,
and by the time he has completed it
more than a year has passed from the
time he first arrived in the gold fields,
and it may then be too late for bim to
get out ot the country that season. If
he went in supplied for 18 months and
has kept his supplies he is all right. If
not, he may be in the position of those
Klondike miners this winter, who have
not "applies to carry tbem through till
spring and can not buy them at any
price, i '
So much for the necessity of an
ample equipment Now a few words
about the nature of it Some things
re absolute necessities, and one of
these is quicksilver for saving the gold.
Take five pounds. To be without it
would be like a soldier without ammu
nition.. It should be in a metal ttesk
of some kind, something that will not
break, and care should be taken not to
spill it - A pick and long-handled
shovel are necessary tools, also a gold
pan.,. You will want a kit of tools for
making a boat, as well as for building
a cabin, flumes, etc. It should consist
of whipsaw, handsaw, jack plane,
draw-knife, axe, claw hatchet, ham
mer, square, chisel, files, whetstone,
chalk line and- wire and galvanized
nails, also oakum, pitch, oars, row
locks, calking iron, boat cotton, twine,
sail needles.jwooden block and manila
cotton rope." ;
The necessary camping outfit con
sists of a tent, a Yukon stove, a nest of
three.pamp kettles, fry pan, bake pan,
water bucket, plates, sopnd,aucer,
coffee pot, knives, forks, soons, two
large spoons and a butcher knife. The
beat materials for utensils are alumi
num, graniteware and steel in the or
der named.' No tin, china or glass is
desirable. There ia no economy in not
g.Hting the best and a full equipment.
Food must be good and properly cooked
if one would retain health and be in
condition to work. Insufficient or
poorly cooked food, with little variety,
ia the chief cause of scurvy. ; Too much
care eannot be exercised in this par
ticular. ; -. ; ' ,
As for food, an adequate supply for
IS months weighs about a ton. The
chief items are 600 pounds of flour, 300
pounds of bacon, 160 pounds each of
beans and sugar, 75 pounds each of
piled oats or other mush material and
corn meal, 50 pounds of rice, six dozen
cans of condensed milk, 85 pounds of
butter in sealed cans, 150 pounds of
evaporated vegetables, 100 pounds of
evaporated fruit, 50 pounds of prunes
and raisins, SO pounds of dried fish, 40
pounds of coffee, with baking powder,
soda, salt, pepper, ginger, mustard,
yeast cakes, tea, soap, matches, lime
juice (very important), dried beef, ex
tract of beef, soups in tins, sausage, to
bacco, etc., as desired, bearing in mind
always that variety of food promotes
health. There has more or leas been
said in the papers about various con
centrated foods, but with the exception
of evaporated vegetables and fruit,
condensed preserves, condensed milk
and beef extract there ia nothing yet
been brought forward which lias been
proved desirable. One can not afford
to experiment with his stomach in
Alaska.
, All supplies should be carefully
packed in canvas sacks of a total weight
of 60 pounds each as nearly as possible.
Canvas of superior quality should be
used, the object being to preserve the
food from loss by dampness as well as
by breaking or tearing of the packages.
Fifty pound packages are the most con
venient for handling, and this is often
as great a weight as one roan can carry.
It is better to have these canvas sacks
paraffined, to resist dampness. Do not
use oiled canvas, as the extreme cold
ness causes it to crack, with consequent
loss of the contents of the sack. iThis
is true also of oiled clothing, sleeping
bags, etc. Plain canvas is better than
oiled, and paraffined better than plain.
A canvas tarpaulin is necessary as an
outfit cover, and this may also be fitted
up and used for a sail. The canvas
sacks should be numbered and a list of
the contents of each kept. The owner's
name should - be plainly marked on
each. '". Such necessaries as matches,
candles, etc., should be distributed
throughout the Sacks.'so that a loss of
a portion of the outfit will not deprive
the owner of these tbingrs.1 Put
matches in tin boxes. The camper
will require a tent, 8x10 or 10x12
being the usual sizes taken. Each
man should have a oanvas sleeping bag,
preferably paraffined, with a ; hood to
draw over his head, lie can have an
other heavy woolen sleeping bag to go
Inside this, or nts bhnkets, as ha may
prefer, though there is more warmth
to the same weight is the sleeping bag.
As for clothing, the essentials are
maoklnaw suits, heavy woolen under
wear and overshirts, . heavy woolen
socks, woolen mitts and fleece lined
leather mitts, heavy bather boots, gum
boots, overalls, woolen cap, soft felt
hat and a waterproof Nothing sack. To
this equipment one may add. whatever
he may think desirable, but these at
least are necessary. The question of
footwear is an important one. Gum
boots are worn only while at work in
the water, either in a clein or along
the trail. Leather boots crack and are
easily ruined in the snow and cold,
The Iudians make a moccasin boot,
called "mwckluck," which is the usual
footwear along the Yukon,; but it will
of course be impossible, for them to sup
ply the demand for them next year.
This renders it advisable for the gold
seeker to take at least one extra pair of
boots with him. The most desirable is
the style of boot worn by lumbormon.
There are numerous little things that
are a necessary part of an equipment.
Every man should have a small kit of
shoemaker's tools and supplies, also a
complete mending outfil for clothing,
toilet articles, etc., all in a' case with
pockets, one that can be rolled up and
tied. A few yards of mosquito -netting
are necessary, for mosquitoes are a pest.
Goggles to protect the eyes from snow
blindness are necessary. Pens, ink,
penoils, paper and government stamped
envelopes, both Canadian and United
States, should be taken. A few books
are worth their weight. Fishing
tackle and shot guns are likely to
prove of service, as the streams teem
with fish and water-fowl are extremely
abundant in summer. .Traps are use
less, as all taking of animals for their
fur is done by Indians. . A com pane is
desirable, also snow calks ' for the feet
For travel on the snow a Yukon sled is
needed. No matter by what route one
travels or how he expeota to transport
his outfit, there will be times either on
the journey in or later when he will
have to pack supplies on his own bark,
and he should be equipped for it. The
ordinary packing straps cut and gall the
shoulders and let the load lie dike a
dead weight on the small of the back
and the kinders. There are various
devices for overcoming these troubles.
The best , of thcra are the Merriam
pack, by which the weight is thrown
upon the hips, and the Yukon packing
frame, which places the weight on the
shoulders. Either is worth far more
than it costs to the man who has to
pack bis outfit In packing it is a
great mistake to overdo oneself or to
carry a load too far. The best plan is
to move the entire outfit along by short
stages, and then to stop work before
completely exhausted. One should be
especially careful not to eit'nrouiid
without a coat when heated or to wear
wet clothing when not at work. .
Every man going to Alatka should
take a small supply of medicines
and surgical necessaries. Thtse out
fits, both regular and bomeopnthwe-tnay
be procured in specially ptepa'red cases,
and cost about (10. He should also
understand the use of the remedies and
appliances. 1
Finally, the best advice of all is to
take only the best quality of every
th ing, whether clothing, proivsimis or
ntensits, and to procure them from ex
perienced outfitter, who know jot
what Is wanted and how- to pack it. It
is poor economy to save a rent or two a
pound on provisions and then pay a
dollar a pound to get this cheap food to
its destination.
These things can all be bought cheap
er and to hotter advantage at the (m fit
ting points from which the steamers
sail than at any other place. It is both
economy and widsom to wait until the
final starting point is reached before
outfitting, -as a perfect equipment, se
lected under the advice of reliable 'out
fitters and properly packed, is half the
battle for success. ; ; .. . , ;
Girl I'shere in C hurch.
Because the members of his ohurch
were jiegligent in attending 'Sunday
services and still more so in contribut
ing to the support of himself and the
church, Kev. Maurice Penfleld Fikes,
pastor of the First Baptist church ut
Trenton, N. J., decided to try an inno
vation to attract people to hear him
preach and their nickles and' dimes
from their unwilling pockets. He in
troduced pretty girls us ushers, and is
more than pleused with the results of
the first experiment. Mr. Fikes hud
the sagacity to make announcement
of the fact that the yonng womon
would show folks to their seats and
take up the collection, fie was care
ful, too, to pick out six of the prettiest
girls in his flock, so the church haej
more young men fn its pews than had"
ever before been seen there. Every
seat in the church was filled long be
fore services were begun, and it was
necessary to get chairs in the oiules.
As ushers the girls were a grand suc
cess, but their best services were given
when the time came to take up the col
lection. The innovation doesn't meet
with the approval of the other preach
ers, who say that when people are
drawn to a church simply for the privi
lege of looking upon a bevy of pretty
girls there is no lasting good to he ex
pected from it But Mr. Fikes says
that he believes in getting people Into
his ohurch and he doesn't care how he
docs it so long as the means are legiti
mate and honest. It took a long time
to take up the collection, but when it
was over and the money oounted there
was nearly $300 to add to the treasury
of the church. i . , :'

The foreign ofliao at Pekin says that
when the bandits killed the two mis

Shangtung to arrest the culprits, and
the capture of four ef them was affect
ed, but meanwhile, indeed only one
day before, the Germans landed troops
and occupied the forts.
The Germans still occupy EiaoChau,
a place of great stratngio and com
mercial importance, and show no dis
position to abandon it, but, on the con
trary, appear to have seized upon the
murder of the missionaries as a pretext
for obtaining and permanently occupy
ing a very desirable position upon the
Chinese coast, and so clear is this de
termination that China hui appealed to
Russia to interfere in her behalf against
Germany. Germany reinforoed her
squadron in the Chinese waters on the
huels of this seizure of Klao Chan bay,
) and it is reported that as long ago as
j. 1895 one of our warships on the Chinese
coast was applied to by a German ves
sel for charts of these waters, "and car-
ticularly requested detailed charts of
the harbor of Kiao Chan." The Set
