SOME FACTS FROM
KLONDIKE LAND
G. S. Lansing Has Just Returned from
the New Gold Fields.
TENDERFEET SHOULD NOT BE HASTY
Mr. Lniislng, n Brother of J. A.
Lansing, Has Spent Nearly Six
Years in tlio (Jrcnt Northern Fields
nnd Gives Some Information Which
Will Interest Those Who Ilnye the
tJold Fever--Ho Favors respect
ing on United .States Soil.
Information and not "stories" from
tho Klondike country Is bomethlng
very much to be desired, particularly
nt this time when hundreds of people
who have had no experience In gold
mining are arranging to start for tho
new gold Held lato this winter or early
In this spring. An Interview on this
subject was granted n Tribune reporter
yesterday by G. S. Lansing, who bus
had live end n half years' experience
In the Klondike nnd Stewart river re
gions and has prospected for gold In
other fields on this continent and In
South America.
Mr. Lansing Is n brother of J. A.
Lansing, president of the Scranton
stove works, and is now a guest of the
latter nt the Hotel Jermyn. He came
out of the Klondike country during tho
autumn and reached Seattle about two
months ago, after a stay and explora
tion of four yeurs. This was a longer
prilod than most prospectors can en
dure. Mr. Lansing was favored by ex
perience, good health and sufllclent
funds, but with these advantages he
finally suffered from scurvy and was
obliged to do us nil gold diggers do
return to the states for proper food
and rest.
Of his own good fortune or personal
deprivations and experiences Mr. Lans
ing declined to talk for publication, but
was' willing to draw upon his knowl
edge for u general outline of conditions
and circumstances about the gold
country. Tho facts gleaned from him
aro presented below, with tho assump
tion that The Tribune's readers are
familiar with the geography of the far
off gold fields:
PEST ROUTE TfJ KLONDIKE.
The best route to the Klondike is by
one of the two passes, Dyea or the
While Pass. Tho latter Is a compara
tively new route, while the other has
been used by the Indians for many
years. Parties should be nt Dyea ubout
April 1. If sleighs are used to tho foot,
of Lake Labarge, Dawson City ought
to le reached some time between May
20 and June 1, but If bouts are used
over the lakes the trip will take about
three weeks longer. If 'big outfits are
taken the boat method Is the prefer
able. There are about 7,000 persons now nt
Dawson City and In that vicinity. Of
these none but the most practiced and
experienced miners and Indians will
dare try to come out with dog teams
tills winter and they can carry hardly
enough provisions to last to the sum
mit of Chilkoot pass. To finish the
lourney ofttlmcs the travelers will
have to eat dog meat and un
dergo all manner of hardship.
For each outfit to make u.
winter trip south It costs 11,000, nnd
the risk Involved Is more than the
bravest of men care to undertake.
In Dawson City there Is already a
great deal of suffering, owing to the
scarcity of supplies and there are hun
dreds of men who have neither gold
nor claims. It will be Impossible for
a great majority of these to get work
from their more fortunate fellows.
Mr. Lansing emphatically stated that
ho would advise men with small capi
tal to keep away from the gold coun
try. In explanation he said that he
knew scores of sober, burd-workl'ng
fellows who had been there twelve
years, off and on, and had not a cent
to show for their pluck. Of the thou
sands now on tho ground, not one in
twenty-five had found enough gold to
more than pay his living expenses, and
on the scores of creeks thut have been
stalled, not one creek In twenty pays
to work.
LIABILITY TO DISEASE.
The situation might not be so criti
cal if the liability to disease was less.
A man's first year there Is his best.
After that he Is worked out both phys
ically and mentally, except In Individ
ual cases. Scurvy Is the most common
and debilitating ailment. It Is at
tended with sluggish blood, the gums
become sore and the teeth loosened
and frequently the seriousness of the
disease makes itself known by pains
of a rheumatic nature In the legs and
a discoloration of the blood about the
shin bones,
Mr. Lansing first went to Dawson
City In 1SSC and spent eighteen months,
two summers and a winter, there. Up
to that time the greatest find had been
In 1SS5, when two men with rockeis
had cot out JG.000 each.
The fli'ht man of the Stewart river
and Its tributaries was made by Mr.
Lunslng. He was among the first men
who went up the river in 1SS6 nnd who
liaF since mude a number of trips nlong
that stream. It Is the second largest
branch of the Yukon and hundreds of
miners are now on Its banks and bars.
Mr. Lansing rearhed the farthest point
exer attained toward Its source, ML
Jesus, 500 miles from Its mouth. It Is
useless to attempt anything like a fair
prospect alons the Stewart unless at
lent a year's supplies .ire taken along
and It Is necessary to have money nnd
men to do this. To work properly on
the Stewart one must winter there In
a comparatively desolated region.
AVhen It Is possible to get supplies
by steamer to McQuestlon river the
Stewart country may be thoroughly
prospected but not before. The Indica
tions for gold are favorable. At pres
ent outfits are bought at Forty Mile
creek nnd poled 120 miles up the V'ukon
to the mouth' of the Stewurt und then
lOOmllesfurtherto the McQuestlon. This
tnkes the best part of the summer and
the average miner cannot ufford to loso
so much time.
THE PAYING AVORK.
Junt now about all the paying work
In tho vast stretch of gold country in
Alaska and British America Is being
performed on Eldorado, Bonanza, Hun
ker, Gold Bottom and Bear creeks
which run northwest Into the Klon
dike liver. Other decks farther up the
river do not pay so well. Creeks emp
tying Into tli's Klondike from the north
ore not paying ntreams. This real
Klondike Country which has so lecent
ly startled the world might be said to
be contained In fi ciicle 20 miles In di
ameter between the Klondike on tho
north nnd Indian River on the south.
Into the latter from tho north flow
Sulphur, Quartz and Dominion creeks
which have not been found as product
ive ns the streams flowing In nn oppo
site direction Into the Klondike.
Tho Canadian government has out
down the nreu of claims from COO to 100
feet. Mr. Lunblng'does not consider
pitch n small claim worth working.
AVhen he returns In the spring ho will
prospect on United Btntcs soil west of
the boundary line whero claims of 20
neres, 1.120 by fifiO feet, enough for a
homestead, may bo staked. A hundred
feet Is nonentity nd nftcr a pros
pector hns arranged hla drainage his
domain Is Insignificant. .
In speaktuc of the fields on United
States soil Mr. Lansing tsald there had
been many finds In the Birch Creek
diggings. The water from these emp
ties Into the Yukon from the south a
hundred miles from Circle City toward
the Yu'ton's" mouth.

LYONS' HEART IS
ON THE RIGHT SIDE
That Happens to Dc the Wrong Side for
That Useful Organ.
THE CAUSE OF THE PHENOMENON
When n Hoy One of Ills Lungs Wns
Removed, Which Caused tlio Breast
to Sink Until tin; Heart Wns Forced
Oyer In tho Hiclit Sldo ol'tho Hrenst
llone--l,yon Is. Vow in the l.iicku
wanna Hospital.
Did you ever hear tell of n man with
his heart on the right side of his
breast?
Such Is tho condition of John Lyons,
a full-crown man, now a patient at
the Lackawanna hospital. He has but
one lung, tho right, nnd his heart Is on
the right side. His left side Is sunken
and empty.
For twenty years John Lyons has
lived with his deformed body. AVhen
he wns 14 years of age he became a
victim to empyema, a disease which
attacks tho lungs. After suffering
many months of torture an operation
was performed upon Lyons nnd his left
lung, which bore the brunt of the at
tack, was removed.
The boy got well, but by a natural
phenomenon his left breast caved In.
This gradually forced his heart from
the left to tho right side. Twenty
yeurs huve passed and all the time tho
caving left breast slowly forced the
heart front the place where nature had
placed It:
Now, when Lyons Is 31 years of age,
the main organ Is on the right side of
tho breast bone. Its bentlng Is plain
ly felt over the right breast.
The light breast is round, but tho
ribs on the left slant In straight lines.
Curiously enough, this freak of nn
ture bus not Incapacitated Lyons from
an active life. Up to a few weeks ago
he worked In nnd about the mines at
Pockvillc, his home. But the mine
gases and black dust has been too
much for the double-worked right lung
and It Is showing the strain and wear.
It Is not likely that ho will leave tho
hospital alive. Lyons Is a single man,
and Is a Frenchman by nativity.
