" I ONLY A PLEASURE TRIP \u00C2\u00AE\\u00C2\u00AB\nIn the past it was a hardship to go into the Yukon or\nAtlin districts, while now that the White Pass & Yukon Eail\nRoad is completed and in operation to Bennett it is only\na pleasure jaunt. A year ago the prospector and miner\ncarried his outfit on his back and on foot over the treacherous\nmountain passes dividing the coast from the interior, the\ntrip occupying several weeks of ceaseless, untiring mental\nand physical effort. Now the gold-seeker can sit in a\ncushioned seat and from a car window view the unrivaled\nscenery, and accomplish in six hours that which twelve\nmonths ago necessitated weeks of back-breaking exertion.\nThe journey from Skaguay over the far-famed White Pass\nto the valley of the Yukon is no longer one of hardship; it\nis a decided pleasure, with all the unpleasant features eliminated. In going to the Atlin or Yukon gold fields the only\nsensible way to reach these districts is via Skaguay and the\nWhite Pass & Yukon Route\u00E2\u0080\u0094the only railroad in Alaska and\nBritish Columbia north of summit of White Pass.\n6N@ CHANGED CONDITIONS \u00C2\u00AE\s\nThe conditions prevailing in the interior will undergo a\nradical change the coming season owing to the increased\nfacilities for transporting supplies over the pass. The completion of the White Pass & Yukon Rail Road from salt\nwater to the head of navigation on the upper Yukon will\ninsure an abundance and variety not only of the staples but\nalso the luxuries, and at prices but little higher than on the\ncoast. No longer will the trip be attended with hardships\nand privations, but will prove a pleasure jaunt over one of\nthe most scenic routes in the world, in comfortable and\nmodern coaches.\n\u00C2\u00ABN\u00C2\u00AE ENTREPORT TO THE INTERIOR \u00C2\u00AE^\nSkaguay is the nearest port wherefrom to start for Klondike or Atlin and is the entreport for all points in the\ninterior. It is the coast terminus of the White Pass & Yukon\nRail Road, which makes direct connections with steamers\non the upper Yukon. The people here are noted for their\nhospitality, and all arrivals are assured a cordial welcome\nwith courteous and honest treatment. Parties wishing to\nget to Atlin or the Klondike as comfortably and cheaply as\npossible will make a mistake if they go any other way than\nby the White Pass & Yukon Route, via Skaguay.\n) THE ATLIN GOLD DIGGINGS \u00C2\u00AE\9\nThe Atlin gold diggings, which has become almost as\nfamous as the Klondike, and which in reality is a second\nKlondike, is situated in British Columbia, some eighty miles\ndue east of Skaguay. The first discovery was made on Pine\ncreek, a little stream flowing info Lake Atlin. The news of\nthis new strike spread like wildfire, and in an increditable\nshort space of time fully 5,000 people were stampeding the\ndistrict. There seemed to be indications galore of pay gold,\nand thousands of claims were located on Pine, Spruce, Birch,\nOtter, Wright, Ruby, Musket, Granite and Marsh creeks, all\ntributary to Atlin and Surprise lakes. Very little development work has been done, and yet thousands of dollars in\ngold have been taken out during the few weeks the men\nhave worked.\na |P mX\nU cr Ss. tfl\n\" o\nin\nmi ag\nUJ\nh\nD\nO\nDC\nZ\n0\n*\nD\n>-\np\n(0\n(0\n<\n0.\nUi\nH\nI\n5\nThe Atlin Gold Fields\nA Veritable Poor Man's Country\nIt is a Sportsman's Paradise\nLarge and Small Game are found\nIn Great Numbers\nSince the wonderful Klondike discoveries have\nbeen made, and the world made conversant of the\nfact,\nNew and Rich\nm !| Gold Fields\nhave been located in other portions of the\nGOLDEN NORTH\nThe most promising beingthe ATLIN DISTRICT\nin NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA.\nMcDonald and other creeks across the\nLine in the North-West Territory are being prospected with good results.\nTHE WHITE PASS & YUKON ROUTE\nIS THE most direct way\nTO reach atlin gold fields\nand Mcdonald creek district\nU\nD\nO\ni\nQ\n-J\nO\nO\niT\no\nu.\n(0\nId\n<\nUJ\nDC\nO\nQ\nZ\nm\nO\n<\nh\n_I\nX\nh\nId\nI\n~g2 s\n'S3 o\n^\u00E2\u0096\u00A0a ui -i\n*) - >\n5*8<\nd\noq\nif\nr-\nUI\nz\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\nm\nco ^ < g *\nI\nI\nm\nW i\nH^ -J\na I\nw \u00C2\u00A7\nPQ \u00C2\u00A3\n1\no\nI\nf\n|\n|\nS\nWWW\nIf 1\nss\n|\nf\na>\n1\nM\no\ng* B\nLOC\nGenera\nEtc., own\nTJ ^^\nI\ni\n5j\nCb <*\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 re \u00C2\u00A7>\nQ\nsi 5'\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0\"\" D\n\u00C2\u00B0 o.\no -\na o\nI *\n\u00C2\u00A7\na\n1\n3\nc\n3\n*\n2.\nire\n00\nb\no\no\n8* 1.\nII\n1 f 3D\n*\u00C2\u00A3 C\n.\u00C2\u00B0 1 o\ngf I\n1 1 H\n1 1 1\n1 \u00E2\u0080\u00A2 >\n1 i oo\nm\n>\n(ft\n(ft\nP-\n\u00E2\u0096\u00A0<\nc\n*\no\nz\no\nc\nH\nf\n3\nI'i\n6S\n1? 8\nB.
