CY DROEMURK 23. 1S97.\nPrice, .$2 00 Year\nTruth About Klondike\ntill\nin tlte\nJohn I). Mctiillivm:\nNew York Herald:\n\u2022'Nine out of ten of the nu.uhei-.-i who\nhave come to tlie Yukon in the rush now\nwish they were hack home. They have\nlearned that there are no mines for them\nand that wages at $15 a day is si myth.\nIt should he borne in mind by all who\nthink of coming here that with all the\nprospecting thai has been done by hundreds ol' experienced men dining the\npast ten years only one discovery lias\nbeen made of ground that will under\npresent conditions pay large profits, and\nthat i^ on lionanxa. and its tributary,\nICl Dorado creek. None who come here\nnow may hope to obtain mines on these\ncreeks, except at exorbitant prices '\nThere have been many slumpcdes of,\nlate, hut there have been stampedes fori\nyears along the Yukon upon the reports j\nof rich diwoveru*. und all who have'\njoined in these stampedes have been\ndisappointed with the exception of tho.se\nwho rami- to the Klondike.\n\"There has been a rush to Munook\ncreek, and locations are selling there tolas much as $5000 each. This is all based\non tlie fact that one man found a good\nprospect al the bottom of a shaft last\nspring, and the further fact, that food is\nmore accessible there than elsewhere.\nIt is possible that .Munook will turn out\nanother Kl Dorado, but, no more probable\nthan that Coal creek, Mission creek,\nAmerican Nation, Henderson or a dozen\nothers will turn out rich. The chances\nof linding another creek as rich as Kl\nDorado are very small. One may be\nfound\u2014n dozen may. It is [Ktssible that\nanother Cripple ('reek will be found in\nColorado, but that is no reason why all\nthe world should rush to Colorado.\nThere is nothing left tor those who are\nnow coming, or are here and aro waiting\nfor Nome one to start a stampede, to do\nbut go out prospecting or work for\nwages. Wages will probably be $1 an\nhour. If they shall Ik- $1.50 an hour the\n>nir^ owners say thai, they will not employ many men. In winter men can\nwork but seven or eight hours a day.\nFifteen dollars a day lias seldom *>ccn\nearned at wanes except in a few summer\nelaims.\n\"The only other alternative is logo\nout prospecting. To simply live here involves hard work. But to prosjiect\nmeans hardship and privation that none\nbut the most hardy can endure. One\nmust carry his tools, bedding, stove and\nfood on his back over the most wretched\nroads, or after the winter bus set in pay\nfreight at the rate of 10 or 15 cent* a\npound. In Hummer freight is from '2'w.\nit is true, nut so Eur none has been found\nto compare in richness with the \u00abold-\nbearing deposits of ilVDorado and Bonanza creeks, which have been the cause\nof this useless influx of thousands fron\ntlie outside world.\n\u2022'Tlie best proof of the fact that there\nare already here many more persons\nthan can hope ever to obtain claims\nwithout going far away is in the figu\n.lune Ist. p-K.7. Wage earners have 'held\nseveral meetings, at which ihev have\nagreed to stand out for !fl.5tl an* hour,\nand in two cases have cni.iuelled men\nwho wereworking for $1 an liotp- to quit.\nA iin-eHmr was held bv them yesterday\njiind it was determined to standout.\nNeither side up to the present time could\ntell its strength. The mine owners are\nbetter organized, ami many of them are\nina position to let their mines lie id'e\nr.Uh'.-r than pav higher rates. At Circle\nCity lust winter tlie claim owners were\ntrying to reduce wages to 80 cents au\nhour, when the Klondike mines offered\n$1.50. After the dumps had been made-\nready for sluicing and stripping was\nbegun for summer work a number of\n. claim owners on Klltorado creek at-\ni tempted to reduce the rate to $1. Aji\n'informal combine was formed for tlie\npurpose, but it happened that many of1\nthese men had purchased their claims.\nf the tiolcl Commissioner as to the\nnumber of loci.tions that have been\nmade. Tbe whole length, practically, of\nevery creek within a distance of 40 miles,\nand in some directions more, has been\nlocated. The creeks include Kl Dorado,\nBonanza.
