Special Sun Francisco Letter. The gold crazo has boon with hu manity from time Immemorial. Peri odically the report of some now discov ery of the precious metal hna causeil the wildest excitement ami tue scram ble to Et rich Quickly has been pro ductive of many such sensations as thftt created by .reports from Klondlka Tlio hardships endured by golll seek Ins pioneers have also boon an Im portant fnctor In the opening up and civilization of hitherto comparatively unknown regions of the globe. To gold, the entire Pacific coast owes Its present prosperity. The existence of gold had long been known In Califor nia, and washings liad been carried on In the southern part near the Sa Fer nanda Mission, as early as 1841. No discovery had been made, however, which attracted much attention or The Regulation Winter Costume of the Yukon Country. caused excitement previous to the oc cuuation of the country by the Ameri' cans. A piece of native gold was picked up ki an excavation made ror a miu race on tho south fork of the Amorlcan rivor. at a place now called Colona. Dy the end of December. 1848, washlng3 for gold had been going on all along the.foorhtlU of the Sierra from the . . .. ... .. .. ii . Tuolunne river to ine runner, ui tance of 100 mlle9. The first adventurers came from Mexico, the South American coast and even from the Sandwich Islands. Tho excitement eventually spread eaet and In the sprint; of 1849 the rush of emi gration across the plains una by way of the Isthmus of Panama commenced. It was estimated that luu.UOO men reached California during that year, Including roprwsen'.ativca of every State of the Union. The emigration to the laud of gold continued with buq little abatement for three years, but the excitement fell off In a uarked de gree in 1864. Many people who have been In Alas ka aro now dazzled by the leports from there, and one man who has lived there and whoso business interests bavo brought him in touch with the mlnlns region recently opened, when asked by a would-be prospector how to go to the gold fields, gave the laconic. If not original answer, "Don't." According to the man's story, the camp Is owned by a syndicate, and has beon stakod out to such an extent that most of the property which might yield gold is in Its possession, and tho people who work there will be working primarily for this syndicate, and not for them selves. "The great mistake that 1 made bv monln contomDlatllllt a trip to Alaska," he said. "Is thit they are unacquainted with tho distance of the mining camp from that part of Alaska which Is in the beaten track, 'inou sands of tourists have gone to Alaska in recent years, and they aro unite jualuted with the condition of the country in which these gold fields havo been found because the point at which they landed was hundreds of miles re' moved from the alleged gold fields. This will be demonstrated to the men who took passage last week. Thoso who go now cannot, by any pos sible way, reach the Klondike region before September 20. The steamer stops at the mouth of the Yukon river, at St. Michael's Island, and there the responsabillty of the carrier stops, Prom that nolnt the man who is look- lug for gold has to travel hundreds of miles up tho river, through fleldd, ov er carries and trails, and all along the roaa be will find toll grates, which havo been erected by the syndicate, where toll must be Duld and where baggage Is closely scrutinized to see that no provisions are being taken Into the country, because selling provisions U the perrogatlve of this syndicate, No man would travel along these trails without a guide, and the Indians oo aid in this capacity charge enor mous fees for their services. But even fter a man has overcome the difll- cultiea of the trip, he will And hlmsolf oesot with obstacles greater tnan en countered by miners in any of the gold aeuls that have yet been discovered, 4 ae winter season begins about bop iember first and lasts eight mouths, the average temperature being for most of that time 58 degrees below ero. After that long season Is ove. there are two months of spring, durln which time the prospective miner J'.ia) cake ready tor work by staking out Ms claim, or getting things to "rights" and then, comes the working wason, which is only two months. During the eight months of positive Idleness he has been maintained by the syndicate, to which he paid J400 a entering the camp for one year's koep and the average man, with only a little money in his pocket to begin Juslness with When tho summer seasoa somes, usually tries to make tie sum larger by gambling. It is safo to be lieve that when the eight months of inforced idleness are over and tho 'hue for actual work begins not one In ten of those wiio go to the gold fields, ith a little fund, will have enough uoney to buy a pick and shovel it they fcuuld not have one. Tholr only rota- wM ill edy then-la to walk back, or else en gage as workmen for the large cor poration. In South America, In Africa or In various district of the United States where gold has been discovered men have had the opportunity when they failed to find gold, of going to fiirmlug or making a living In tunny ways, but in tho Alaskan country thero Is ab solutely nothing to be doing two-thlrdn of tho year, and to return would be an Impossibility in the winter time, be cause the snows wipe out and obliter ate every vestige of the trails that lea J along the Yukon river. Tho mines may yield $150,000,000. like the Aulder Ouloh, in Montana, but that money went to thousands of peo ple, while this would go to tho syndi cate, or those who bought land from them. There are mistaken notions, al so, as to staking out claims In that country. A man has a right to claim one hundred feet square, and he may stake out a piece of that size on any creek, but he Is entttlod to no more, and If he finds no gold on any of hU claims of that Blze, and wishes to work further, he will be compelled to buy from the syndicate, which has land laid aside for that especial purpoee, One of the leading mining men of this country, a Man whose name is familiar all over the land, in speaking of tho gold fever, said "Men will go to hell for gold, no mat ter whether It Is discovered at tho north or Bouth pole or at the equator, Torrid heat and frigid cold cause the searcher for gold has but little fear, and of the thousands who are hantenlng to Alaska it can only be predicted that a large percentage of them will meet with disaster. When new mines are discovered the prospector who makes the discovery seldom realizes on his And. Thousands rush In, claims ars taken up by adventurers, who buy. sell and barter, and the claims are fi nally absorlx1 by companies of men who furnish the cpaltal for the proper working of tTie mines, while the pros pector or mining pioneer starts on new tours to unknown regions for the pur pose of tiding richer claims than tho one he has loft behind. Now, in the Alaska region It makes no difference on which Bide of the boundary line the gold is discovered, the' Yukon is tha ouly channel through which the prod ucts of the mines in the Clondike re gion can find access to civilisation. Tho benefits that will be derived from the Clondike or Yukon gold discovery are almost certain to help this country. The pathway to the mines Is open for three months In the year, and for the other nine months the mines are a closed book to the Investors who have furnished the capital for expeditions to that region. A high mountain rango that is practically Impassable through out the year proven la an overland route to the sold Dockets at Cluadiko. You call readily perceive that for every ounce of gold taken from the Clondike region there will bo far more suffer ing than in auy effort made in th early days to develop the gold xulnca in this country. i Speculation Is already the ru.lng Idea of Dawaon City. A purchasor lu epects a claim that bo thinks he would like to buy, and he oilers just wtini he thinks it Is worth. Thero la no liUlrmlBhlng over figures, the man either accepts or refuses and that la the end of it. With this claim goes the season's work. By that I moor. tho great pile of earth that may con tain thousands or may not be wortn the expense necessary to run It through the Blulce. That Is a chance one must take, however, and very few have lodt anything by It this seuson. Ia the whole Klondike region thero Is not a single claim that has not paid handsomely, and thero are still huu dreds of claims that have not been worked.
