It is not the purpose of this publication to .set forth the oppor- tunities and advantages offered by the Vulcon gold field.s, nor to urge or encourage people to go there. It is intended as a prac- tical route and mining guide for those who are going. The need of such a guide is attested by the failure to reach the interior of thon.sands who made the attempt during the ]Kist summer, and by the frequent less of boats and even of lives, in the rapids of the Yukon. As its title implies, it is a combined map and guide of the route. The map, which is divided into sections covering about twen 3 page.s of the book, is dra\/n on a scale sufficiently large to show e^-ery dangerous or difiicult point along the route, and to point out the way of ivoiding or the method of overcoming such diffi- culties. Thus, while to one who is seeking a "Guide " to enable him to determine whether or not to go, it will be of little practical value, to the one who is going it is indispensable, as the informa- tion given is absolutely reliable, and being protected by copyright will be found nowhere else. Mr. Sallee, one of the publishers of the book, is entirely familiar with the route from Dyea to the mouth of the Yukon, and the correctness of his notes, from which the maps and charts were made, has been verified by others who have been over it the whole distance, both going and returning. Description is given of the several routes leading from Seattle to the gold fields, and of the railroads, tramways and other transportation lines so far projected, but no charts are given of any route except that by way of Chil- koot pa.ss, as that is the only land route which has so far been found entirely practicable; and detailed description of the ocean route would be of no practical value. Each map is accompained by detailed de.scription of the portion of the route covered by it. and particular attention is called to the charts of Miles Canyon, White Horse Rapids, and Five Fingers, the three dangerous points on the Yukon. Any one of the.se charts, as well as the map and detail description of the Thirty Mile River, is certain to prove of incalculable practical value to those making the trip. The limited number of adverti-sements which have been inserted have been selected with discrimination by the publishers, who guarantee the reliability of the advertisers. ■ ■^\i^i^ieii'!^^S^0Sdii£'"'" ^^<""<' To Port Townaend '* ^ " J^>"^au...... 742 " Haines' Mission , , „ 20 890 " Dyea ,, 801 '2 " Ferrv on Dvea River '/^ ,/ " Finiiegan's Point ^ .

The plan adopted in thi.s publication, of dividing the route map into sections covering a page each, is respectfully submitted as be- ing the most convenient arrangement possible, avoiding the incon- venience of opening out double page maps, and the po.ssibility of losing them from the book. These sectional maps, in order to get the advantage of as large a scale as po.ssible, extend lengthwise of the pages, but the direc- tion or course which they take, as well, also, as the relative loca- tion of any particular section, will be indicated on the Index Map which precedes the .sectional maps. These maps are reproduc- tions, on a greatly enlarged scale, of the latest official maps, made in 1897, by Mr. Ogilvie. The publishers call attention to the brevity and conciseness of tliis publication, as one of its principal recommendations. As to its accuracy and reliability, we submit the following in- dorsement, signed by John F. Miller, Frank E. Sims and Michael Kelly. Mr. Miller is ex-pro.secuting attorney of King county, Washington, (Seattle) ; Mr. Sims is a former captain of police in Seattle, and Mr. Kelly is the well known Yukon guide and miner, and all have recently returned from the Klondike: "Seattle, Washington, December 4, 1897. " .\fessrs. l/uines, LysoHS and Sallee, Seattle, Washington — Gn'sri.v.- MEN : We have examined the proof sheets of your 'Map-Guide, Seattle to Dawson,' and in our judgment your book will be the most complete and practical of any Yukon or Klondike guide published. Your charts of the White Horse and other dangerous rapids are remarkably accurate in all practical detail, and the use of them ought to enable anyone to make the trip without risk. " The prospector who secures your book will need no other Klondike route or mining guide. Very respectfully yours, "Frank E. Sims, "John F. Miller, "Michael Kellv."

Prospectors will find that the merchants' experience in the out- fitting trade is of the greatest possible assistance to him, as the selection and packing of an outfit are matters of primary impor- tance. In general, these matters may be left largely to the judg- ment of experienced outfitters, but there are some details which the prospector .should oversee personally. The following sugges- tions should be adopted, and arbitrarily insisted upon: 1 . Get the best quality of everything. This applies particularly to flour and bacon. Get nothing but eastern cured bacon. It is well, even, to have the allowance of bacon made up in part of dry salt pork. 2. As far as possible have all packages limited to fifty pounds weight. T,. As far as possible, have everything put in bags instead of boxes. They should be protected, also, by an oil or canvas bag, and the clothing bag should be protected by lock and key. 4. Have a comtni.ssary box. This is one of the first and most essential things of the outfit. 5. The contents of each box or l)ag should be plainly indicated on the outside, and art|fles of different kinds, such as pepper, baking powder, soap, etc., should not be jumbled together. SUPPLIES. The amount of supplies to be taken depends largely upon where the prospector is goitig. If to Dawson and other down river points, he may rely upon getting supplies after he reaches there. If he goes to any ol the up river tributaries, especially to the Pelly or Stewart river districts, he should take enough to last until the month of May following. A shortage of supplies to the prospector up any of these streams means the loss of a season's prospecting, on account of the length of time it would take him to get supplies in. Until the great rush of the past year prospectors could usually depend upon getting furs after they had reached the mining dis- tricts. which rendered it unnecessary to take fnrs ,n w,«a tl em. ^„d even reduced the amount of woolens to be take.,. That be- ine no longer possible, it is necessary for the prospector to supply m df wi?h a con,plete outfit.

The course is over what is known as the inside passage, being inside an almost con- nuous chain of islands.

CHILKOOT PASS. The winter and spring trail follows the bed of the river from Dyea to the foot of the canyon, a distance of about seven miles From the7e the trail turns to the rigut and follows up the bed of a fmal slel putting into the Dyea river, to Sheep Camp, abou Tx miles beyond. This point. Sheep Camp, shoidd be mad the fir.st permanent camping place after leaving Dyea 2Z\^Z timber between there and Deep lake, a distance of about eleNeii 'mtmm mm 15 miles, and therefore this latter point is to be made the next per- manent camping place. Tlie moving of the outfit between these points requires care and tlie exercise of good judgment. It can be sledded to the Scales, and from that point has to be packed to the summit, a di.stance of about three-fourths of a mile. The whole outfit should be taken from vSheep Camp to the summit as rapidly as possible, and there cached. The goods here should be well covered and protected, as it frequently happens that a sudden storm prevents their being moved from this point for many days at a time, and is also some- times true at Sheep Camp. In moving over this distance your personal comfort should be looked after, and heavy clothing taken along for protection in ca.se of a sudden storm. It is the custom of old miners, also, to put in their outfit some dry kindlings and wood for use in ca.se of an emergency. Kroni the sununit the outfit should be taken over the ice until open water is reached. In early travel this is usually as far as the foot of Lake Marsh, and sometimes even to the foot ""Lake Le- barge. This is the beginning of Thirty Mile river, in which, on account of the swift current, the ice freezes in hummocks, along which there is more or less open water, rendering it impracticable to sled. What is known as winter and spring travel on the Chilkoot, continues usually until about the middle of May; that is, the tran.sportation of goods on the ice and snow, by means of sleds. During this period the conditions for transportation are usually most favorable during the month of March ; and as a usual thing those who leave vSeattle during February are as far advanced as tho.se who leave earlier. The length of time required to take an outfit from Dyea to the summit is problematical, depending upon the pro.spector's experi- ence, conditions of the weather, size of the outfit, etc. Under ordinarily favorable circumstances a man moving his outfit alone will get it from Dyea to the summit in about two weeks. This is not taking into consideration, on the one hand, delays by storms, nor on the other, any assistance he might have from others, or with dogs. In the spring of 1895, Mr. Sallee made the trip from Seattle to the Klondike river, by way of this pass, in thirty days, without dogs having an outfit of 900 pounds. 16 dhilUoot IRuUroai* $i HUGH C.

The completion of this line solves the problem of cheap, easy and expeditious transportation to the Klondike, as it removes the peril and hardship of the trip, greatly reduces the expense and saves thirty days time.

The trip is *hen more difficult. Goods may be freighted on wagons to Finnegan's Point, a distance of about four and one-half miles from Dyea, and from there pack horses may l>e used as far as The Scales, which is within three-quarters of a mile of the summit It is a difficult matter to get horses over the summit, but during the past summer four or five sure-footed and experienced pack horses were taken over, and used to advantage between there nnd Lake L,indeman. In the absence of horses goods may be packed the whole distance from the summit to lyake Lindeman, about nine miles, or they may be ferried across the intervening lakes (Crater, Long and Deep lakes), which aggregate nearly four miles in length. Or, leaving Dyea, goods may be freighted in boats or canoes on the Dyea river to the head of canoe navigation, a distance of about five and a half miles. The Dyea is a swift and somewhat treacherous stream, and boating or canoing up it is diffic;ilt and accompanied by some risk to the outfit. An aerial tramway is now being constructed from Dyea to Lake Lindeman, by the Chilkoot Railroad &. Transport Company, of Tacoma. The line will be in operation by the first of February, and the company propose, for ; moderate charge, to relieve pros- pectors of the trouble and risk ot transporting their goods across tnis pass. OTHER ROUTES. Besidjs the Chilkoot pass, the chart of which is published in these pages, the land routes into the Yukon are the White pass, or Skaguay trail, the Chilkat pass or Dalton trail, the Stickeen route, and the Taku or Juneau route. V'^HiTK Pass or Skaouav Trail. During the summer of 1897 this route was extensively advertised, and probably upwards of four thousand people attempted to cross it. Of these, only an insignificant number reachtd Lake Benne»^ in time to go down the river, the pass having proven a failure. Late in the summer, when the impracticability of the trail became apparent, the citizens of Skaguay sent a corps of engineers into the field to lay out a ^rfl LKOOT i trip is ♦hen more ) Finnegan's Point, ni Dyea, and from le Scales, which is It is a difficult iig the past summer horses were taken i Lake L,iiideman. the whole distance line miles, or they (Crater, Long and s in length. boats or canoes on a distance of about ift and somewhat it is diffic;ilt and from Dyea to Lake >SBesi5Bafl»«««m«J«S«WW»?'.t' ■.'ii?srs'_.Kf,-^!iWff.- 32 A Klondike Saw Mill in Operation Mi PERATION 34 LAKE !V\ARSH. Lake Marsh, which is about six nuks hckm TaR.sh lake, is connected with it by a wide river with a sluggish current. This lake is a fine body of water about twenty miles in length with an average width of from two to four miles. At the he.d of the lake the water is very shallow. There is good timr,er a: the foot of the lake, and along the left shore, and the right shore .s bordered by a broad valley, back of which are rolling bills. I he val- lev and hills have a growth of grass but no tnnber. 'Lake Marsh is entered on the righi at the foot by the Mc- Clintock river, and here is the starting point for what is known as the PORTAGE TO HOOTALINQUA R!VER. The McClintock river drains a low rolling country to the east of Lake Marsh, and in the early spri.ig goods may be sledded up the river for a distance of some twelve miles, and the stream wlurh puts into the north side of the river should be followed from here for a distance of about four miles, thence a northeasterly direction taken for about five miles, which will take you across the divide. From here any of the gulches leading down to the Hootahnqua river may be taken. ' ' , ^, • » «.,„ The distance across this portage is not to exceed thirty-fix e miles, and by taking it and going down the Hootalinqua to its iunction with the Yukon, or Lewes, all the bad waters of the lat- ter are avoided except the Five Finger rapids. Ihe trip down the Hootalinqua may be made as far as possible on the ice, as there is good timber all along for boat building. When You Qo We will sell you a pair of gold scales ; Lowest Price.

LeaviuR Lake Marsh behind, about twenty-three miles be'ow is encountered Miles Canyon. This is the first bad piece of water reached after leaving Lake Hennett, and in some respects is the most dangerous part of the river. The approach to the canyon will be detected by the increase in the current of the river, which is quite perceptible for about three miles above it, and occasional lioulders will be seen. In the approach care should be taken to keep near the right hand bank, and a landing may be safely made in the eddy on the right hand side at the head of the cpuyon. The canyon has an avera > S^'h of about one hundred feet, between walls of solid rock r^ Vom fifty to one hundred feet in height, its peculiarity being tu act that the water cones up in the center, being from three to four feet higher than at the sides. In making the start through the boat should be pulled well out into the stream as indicated on the chart, and kept on the crest of the cone, with one man at the oars and another steering. About half way through the river broadens out into a basin on the left hand .side, reducing the cone to the level of the river, and forming a whirlpool. The boat's course should be directed slightly to the right, cutting through the edge of the whirl, and directed onto the crest of the cone below. Near the foot of the canyon is a large rock abou* the middle of the river, the course being to the right. At high water this rock is submerged, but its location can be determined by the general appearance. The landing is on the right hand bank just below the rock. The boat, to make this run successfully, must be strongly built and not too heavily loaded. In fact, experienced Yukoners make it an imperative rule to portage a portion of their outfit around the trail indicated on the chart, so that they will not be left helpless in case of an accident, as it would be impossible to save anything from the wreck. 37 miles bC'Ow is • leaving Lake )us part of the ►y the increase •tible for about 1 be seen.

From the observations of temperature and climatic conditions made in the Yukon country during the years 1895 and 1896, by Mr. William Ogilvie, Dominion surveyor, we make the following extracts : During the months of July and August, 1896, the highest tem- perature recorded was 81 degrees; the lowest, 27.2 degrees. Dur- ing the two months it rained on 1 1 days. During the months of December, 1895, and January, February and March, 1896, the highest temperature recorded was 40 degrees above; the lowest, 68 degrees below zero. During these months it snowed on 15 days. The conditions prevent its being anything of an agricultural country, but some of the common garden produce, such as rad- ishes, lettuce, small cabbages, small turnips, etc., may be success- fully grown. The great pest of the country are mosquitoes. During the summer months, and until September, they are a veritable plague. Neither smoke nor fire seem to affect them, and the only way to escape them is to cover one's self with mosquito netting. NAVIGATION ON THE YUKON. The upper Yukon is open to navigation from May until about the middle of October. At the mouth it is not open until July, and does not last later than about the first of October. It takes the river steamers about twenty days to run up the river to Dawson City. The lower waters of the river spread out over what is known as the Yukon flats, and there is more or less trouble in navigating the river here, the difficulty being enhanced by the bars at the mouth of the river, where the channel frequently changes. THE OCEAN ROUTE. The ocean, or all-water route, is by water to the mouth of the Yukon and on up the river. It is about three thousand five hun- dred miles from vSeattle to St. Michael island, and from there ^^a conditions d 1896, by e following ighest tem- ;rees.

The habits of both the caribou and moose are such that they cannot be relied on as a .source of food supply.
