TRAVELS IN l: 'K( an A YtJKON TERl >^r Mi^h M -^/^ *te it^^l^' / ^7 00 ^ fiJ>l/7J THIS Land of ihc Midnight Sun and Xorthern Lights — this land of snow-rapix-d mountain-, tuwi-'ring into the clouds — glaciers glinting in the sunlight, blui-, grt-en and white — Jlowcrs, crimson amid deep green fort'sts — lakes high in mountain pockets, shimmering, darning under soft summer breezes — mighty rivers and tumbling cascades ^the roar of rapids — the song of birds — the lure of gold : Here is a land set apart — a land affording new thrills, new experiences — a greater, more magnificent, more tremendous Mecca for the traveller than has ever before been sung in poetry or prose. Modern Travel Comfort Skaguay is the gateway. And the route which leads into the interior — over the world-famed White Pass where thousiinds dragged their bleeding feet in the mad '97 rush for g(»Id— is the \\hile Pass & Yukon Route, the railway which was built some thirteen years ago against terrific odds — one of the really great engineering feats of the pas^t century. Comfortably seated in a modern parlor car, you may travel through this magic region to Caribou, from whence nioilern steamers ply the inland waters to Atlin, the beautiful; or you may continue on to White Horse, at the beginning of the mighty ^'uicon — here t down the broad, surging \'ukon, and up the Tanana, after crossing and recrossing the Arctic Circle — is Fairbanks. From Seattle or \'ancouver to Skaguay is a marvellously beautiful and interesting irip— a winding inaer iKissage, inland- sheltered, threading its way through narrow channels, between green-clad islands, past great glaciers, sto[)pi'ig at .Mcrt May, Prince RupiTt, Sitka, Ketchikan, Wrangell, Douglas and June.iu. On the voyage may Ik? seen natives with their basket -<, bows and arrows; totem pole;., vast s;ilmon canneries and gold and copjHr mines. But to go to Skiguay and not see the interior — !?■ like going to the threshhold of Fairyland and foregoing all the interest and enchantment to Ik- enjoyed within the magic region. Yukon Route ALASKA AND THE YUKON THE LAND OF THE MmNIGHT SUN AND NQBXHERN UGBTS "ZlSrozan Open to the ZDonid What was, hut a few yfars since, an impenetrable region of mystery — jjersimally known only to a hamlfiil of intrepid explorers — has heen converted, suddenly traiisformed, into a land of easy at i ess. At a sinifle sirtjke — the building of the White Pass & Yukon Railway — the vast interior o|K'ned its arms to reieivc the tourist. Mountains, glucivs, lakes, torrents, cascades, flowers, forests, I he splendid ^'ukol^ the magic Klondike — there they are for you — easily reached, at moderate expense, and with but little cost of time. A Wonderful Transformation The clay of the dog sledge has passed. No longer need the explorer and the seeker for gold toil over dangerous passes — nor need they shoot the foaming rapids in their frail boaes. To-day comfort awaits the traveller. He may sit at his ease in a modern parlor car, in all tranquillity. Safe from all harm he may view the trails which s|iellcd so much agony, so much pain and suffering to those who, in their greed \qx gold, rushed to the Klondike in '97. He may ride in luxury over those very trails — every foot of the way replete with the history of reckless daring, the memory of dwds which will stir the blood of men for centuries to come! Mr. v.. Burton Holmes, the famous traveler and lecturer, said in one of his lectures, after he had visited Alaska and the Klondike: "Alaska and the Klondike as they arc to day are amongst the most amazing facts of our new century; yesterday a wilderness with heroes fighting epic battles with the elements; to day a land with towns and cities; with happy homes and thriving business enterprises. • • • Where the pioneers dragged thdr bleeding feet up the icy stairways of the White Pass or the Chilcoot, we rolled in all the luxury of railway cars, and within sight of the death-dealing rapids through which their boats were steered with the fear of death for pilot, wl- glided smoothly over rails of steel, coming from Skaguay on the coast to White Horse City, on the ITpper Yukijn, as comfortably and expeditiously as we could travel from New York to Boston. "We have come by rail in seven hours, 112 miles from the tidewatir terminal of the White Pass & N'ukon Route, to this new station at White Horse City, the head of steamer navigation on the Yukon. • * * From White Horse to Dawson we have for highway the great, rapid flowing river, and for con- veyance the comfortable Yukon steamers that ply all summer up and down the stream."

Winding around and between countless islands, at times running close under the lee of huge granite cliffs — now passing the swift foaming White River, where it mingles with the Yukon— then Stewart River and Indian River — there is not a single mile of the way but holds vivid interest. Pitching quoits — music — dancing — cards — ^and all the other amusements popular aboard ship pass the time quickly in good fellowship. The Midnight Sun And the light of the Midnight Sun! At White Horse you sat in your window at two o'clock in the morning — listening Bird'i-Eye View of Dawson, Y. T. through the bluish white light to the faint roar of the distant rai>ids. The fragrance of flowers drifted in and out with the cool night breeze. Now — out on the vast sweep of the Yukon — at midnight — with the sun hanging just below the horizon — no sound but the throbbing engines, the swish of the waters as the steamer slips through. That is an experience! Shortly the sun peeps above the mountains astern — just a dip it has taken from sight, leaving a glimmering rosy light over the river, the mountains and hills. Passing the mouth of the Klondike River, the steamer makes a landing at the dock a short distance beyond. The l)awson jjurney is at an end. Up from the docks and warehouses the Yukon River at Selwyn Creak 13 The Midnicht Sun at Dawton 14 White Pass & Yukon Route city stretches to the flower-strewn hills. Of this wonderful city we have already spoken. From a turbulent tent community it has developed in but a few years to a well-ordered, modern city with telegraph, telephone, electric lights, water works, daily newspaper, excellent hotels. Near at hand, within easy side-trip distance, are the famous gold-bearinu creeks — Bonanza, Eldorado, All Gold, Gold Bottom and the others. TO FAIRBANKS. Crossing and Re-cro8sing the Arctic Circle. The tourist who can afford the time will find the trip beyond Dawson, down the Yukon River, 700 miles, and up the Tanana River, nearly 3(X) miles, to Fairbanks, extremely interesting. En route to and from Fairbanks the Arctic Circle is crossed and re-crossed, and here the midnight sun can be seen in all its northland glory. Stops en route are made at various pomts, among which is Fort Yukon, six miles north of the Arctic Circle. Here, in 1S48. an old trading-post was located. Some of the log buildings erected at the time are still standing. Various Indian villages are passed on the way down to the Tanana River. Thence the ascent of this river is made to Chena, 263 miles from the mouth of the river. During the favorable stages of water the steamers run between Chena and Fairbanks. Oiherwisc connections are made at Chena with the Tanana Valley Railroad for F'airbanks and the various mining centers in the district. Eighty miles up the Tanana River is Hot Springs, a small settlement, which takes its name from the Hot Springs located here, and which are said to possess curative properties. Here agriculture is carried on. Fairbanks is the largest citv and one of the most picturesque places in the interior of Alaska and is the chief supply point for this rich and extensive placer and gold quartz mining district. Fairbanks, like Dawson, is connected with the outside world by telegraph. It has daily newspapers, good hotels, a water system, electric lights, etc. Fourth of July Celebration, Fairbai. THROUGH THE LAKES FROM CARIBOU TO ATLIN From Skaguay to Caribou, and from thence through a chain of sapphire lakes, mountain and forest-girt, eighty miles to Atlin — there is a rare jewel of a trip! The cost is moderate and it takes but little time — but there is more of sheer beauty packed into that short distance than can be found in any other place in the world. Winding through Nares or Tagish Lake the steamer traverses Windy Arm to enter Taku Arm, a beautiful sheet of water, almost completely shut in by the most inspiring mountain scenery. A splendid view is afforded of Jubilee Mountain, which reaches its snow-crowned head thousands of feet into the clouds. Islands and promontories, bays and inlets are passed in rapid succession. Eagle't Nett, Yukon River 15 T*clih L«ke-Or the w«y to Atlln 16 White Pass & Yukon Route Mt. Well*, Copper Island Narrows, Lake Atlln After steaming through beautiful Golden Gate and up Taku Inlet, the boat makes a landing at Tuku, where a short portage by rail along the bank of roaring Atlintoo River brings the tourist to Atlin Lake — "Atlin the Beautiful!" of which an English traveler writes: "Atlin scenery is something peculiar to itself. I have seen nothing like it in all my travels and all those who have seen it agree as to this. There is something so grand and restful about it all; so soft and so peaceful, and yet so magnificent. Atlin is peaceful and in its glory, and, to complete it all, the Autumn tints were at their best, and only seeing these tints is to believe in the sight of nature run riot in c<»lor. And no two mountains were alike in their blaze of color. In some the deep crimson red — in others a beautiful deep green. relieved by the crimson hues, were the dominant tone, ami still in others the glowing yellow of the jmplar would most attract your eye. In addition to all this iK-auly of ctilor the marvelous effects of the atmosphere were strikingly lovely — soft, yet as clear as crystal. Indeed, there were some of the effects of a crystal prism in this feast to the eyes — all the colors of (he rainlM)w were there. The mountains nearest us showed their vivid red and crimson hues wit hr)ut stint, overpowering all, but, as they receded, the yellow of the poplars sttnid out vividly on the green of the firs, and the crimson hues l)ecame softer in tone, and still further on the atmosphere gave a purple hue to all this coloring, and again still further on, for you can S4'e fifty miles of mountains on Atlin Lake, the mountains gradually lost their purple tint until in the distance they became the deejK-st of deep blue in color. * * * Words fail to descrilx.' the IxMUty of the si-cnery. I have twice iK-en to Atlin before the Autunm tints came, and I then thought it as beautiful a s|«)t as there is in the world and unique in its own natural charms, but now that I have seen Atlin in its real glory of color I would advise all who would like to set- perfect scenery, with perfect coloring, to lie in Atlin towards the end of August, when Autumn turns the leaves. On Atlin Lake there are some large islands with high mountains and peaks, all of which are crowned with snow, and for a whole day the "Scotia" was at times slipping through narrow fwssages scarcely nwmy enough for it to pass through, and at times gliding along broad channels with great mountains on each side of us, at their best with these beautiful tints, then through inlets and channels with precipitous rocks, and with glaciers and snow thousands of feet almost perpendicularly alMjve us. And the reflections! From photos which were taken when the wind was calm, one cannot tell which way to turn the pictures and which is the real moun- tain and which is the reflection, and the vividness of color so reflected doubles the glory of the scene." Steainer "Scotia," Moutti of Hoboe Creek, Lake Atlin 17 Cathedral Mountain, Lake Atlln 18 White Pass & Yukon Route/ White Horse, Y. T. The Ideal Spot for a Vacation It is six miles by steamer across this wonderful lake to the little city of Atlin, the base of supplies for the richest hydraulic mining camp in British Columbia, There is an indescribable tonic effect in the Atlin climate that will eventually make it one of the world's greatest summer health resorts. The air is dry, cool, crisp, and invigorating. The elevation is just right. The scenery is marvellous. It eeems as though Nature put all her wits together to make a summer paradise when she came to Atlin. There are numerous interesting side trips. A stage ride of a few miles over a smooth gravel road, up Pine Creek to Pine City or Discovery, affords an opportunity for inspecting hydraulic mining operations at close range. Within a short distance are beautiful Pine Creek Falls and Surprise Lake — a surprise indeed in its mystic Northland beauty. The trip to Atlin taken by day is glorious— taken at night, in the subdued splendor of the Midnight Sun, surrounded by giant, snow-crowned penks, leaving a purple trail across the sapphire waters — it is beyond description! In speaking of the Atlin trip one tourist writes: "I have been to Switzerland several times and I have been over most of chis continent and Euroiie, but never have I beheld such an ever-changing and ever-interesting panorama of mountains and lakes. "The trip to Sitka and Skaguay is certainly worth while, hut if I had gone no farther than Skaguay, I would have thought TTV tour at least partially in vain, for I would have mis-4'd wonderful Atlin Lake — where the rivalry of the Swiss Alps, the Canadian Rockies and the Italian lakes seems to meet in one supreme effort at scenic climax." Nowhere on the continent can be found a more ideal spot for spending the vacation time, and the White Pass & Yukon Route has now under construction, after design by eminent architects, a unique hotel on the shores of Lake_ Atlin. commanding enchanting scenery from every side. It will have every modern convenience and will afford an ideal home for the summer months. Those who delight in boating, hunting and fishing, will find abundant opportunity to iniiulge in their favorite pastime and for the golfer it is the intention to lay out a golf course near by. Every effort will be made to contribute to the enjoyment of the patrons of the hotel. Those seeking rest from the strain of business or social cares will here enjoy a complete change of scene combined with a summer climate and bracing pure air, and should return from the vacation feeling fit to surmount any obstacle. What Clothes To Take By all means don't burden yourself with heavy clothing. By way of comparison it might be noted that the summer Atlin Inn— The New Tourist Hotel Now Under Construction by the White P«m * Yukon Route «t AtMn 19 20 temperature of Skaguay and Dawson runs on an average from about 55 to 75 degrees, while that of cities like Chicago, New York and St. Louis runs from 70 to IH) degrees. It is well to provide one's self with a steamer rug for the boat trips, a medium weight overcoat or wrap, walking shoes for any intended tramps ashore, and medium weight underwear, such as you would usually wear in the late spring. You will never encounter cold weather in Alaska during the summer. You merely escape the sultry heat of more southern points. Travelers who have visited many lands say there is no more bracing, no more delightful summer climate in the world than that offered by Alaska and the Yukon. HOTELS With the exception of the PuUcn House at Skaguay, all of the hotels at Skaguay. Caribou. White Horse, Dawson and Kairbanks are run on the European plan. Rates are from $1.50 to $3.00 per day. Some of the hotels have rooms with connect- ing bath. All contain modern toilet and bathrooms, as well as rooms with running hot and cold water. Dining rooms are usually operated in connection with the hotels. Meals from fifty cents to seventy-five cents each, except when the service is a la carte. Rates at the Pullen ^T >j=e, Skaguay, American Plan, $2.50 to $:i.00 per day for single rooms. Suites with connecting bath, $7.00 to $10.00 per day for two persons. At Atlin, as already stated, the White Pass & Yukon Route, has now under way a first-class tourist hotel that will compare with the best summer resort hotels of its size anywhere in the United States and Canada. In short, the hotels throughout, both as to convenience, meals and service, will, everything considered, be found much better than one usually finds in the smaller towns in the United States and Canada.

Means "The Great Country") Bought from Russia in lHt)7 for $7,2(X).()00, Alaska has since that date produced over $44t>,tK)0,000 in gold, silver, copper, coal and other minerals, in furs and fisheries — a tremen- dous return on the investment! Mind, this is Alaska alone. Add to these figures the marvellous mineral and fur wealth of northern British Columbia and the Yukon Territory. Truly, this is a great country! Ten years ago the entire region was a wild, almost untried country. To-day we fitul orderly, thrifty, modern cities, railroads, steamship lines, the telegraph and telephone, electric lights, comfortable hotels, charming homes. Olnlng Room on one of the White Pass & Yukon Route River Steamers Summer In Fairbanks, Alaska 22 Big Bend In the Allele— On the way to the Big Qame Country Not only as a wonderland for the tourist, but as a place loved by men and women because it is their home — Alaska and the Yukon are coming into their own. Robert Service sang well and truly in the words: "Lofty I Stan ' from each sister land, patient and wearily wise, With the wei^,'it of a world of sadness in my quiet, passion- less eyes; Dreaming alone of a people, dreaming alone of a day, When men shall not rape my riches, and curse me and go away. Making a bawd of my bounty, fouling the hand that gave — Till 1 rise in my wiath and ! sweep on their path and I stamp them into a grave. Dreaming of men who uilt bless me. of women esteeming me good, Of children born in my borders, of radiant mothcrho<^>d, Of cities leaping to stature, of fame like a Hag unfurled. As I pour the tide of my riches in the eager lap of the world." That day has come. Service sang well. The silent North- land has at last won from the world that recognition which long has been her due. Her fisheries arc the richest in the world — her fabulous mineral wealth is a byword among men of all nations — her citizenship is made up of the best type of American, the pioneer who blazes the trails of civilization. One man in the North produces as much wealth as fifty in the Philippines, or l.")0 in Cuba. There are tens of thousiinds of men and women and children in Alaska, the ^'uk^^n Territory and Northern British Columbi : to-day. They are a brave, eager-eyed people who look forward. ^'es, truly the Northland is coming into her own. And those who visit the splendors of her lakes and rivers, her mountains and glaciers, her forests and flowers, her mines and fisheries, come back with a heart big with the bigness of a great, new country. A SUPERB SUMMER CLIMATE It is the kindly warmth of the Japan Current as it crosses the North Pacific from Southern Ja[)an, bathing the Alaskan shores, that is largely rea|>onsible fur the delightfully warm summer climate. Just as the tiulf Stream warms the coast of Maine, sr- the Japan Current warms Alaska — only the Japan Current hugs the coast farther north. Moreover, there is an amazing amount of sunlight in Alaska and the Yukon Territory during the summer months. At White Horse and Dawson, and farther north, the sun practically never sets. Baseball games start at ten o'clock in the evening. Tennis and other sports are enjoyed after the time when dark- ness has settled over the United States. A White Pait & Yukon Route Passenger Train, Showing Parlor-Obtervation Car in Rear 27 28 White Pass & Yukon Agriculture in the Northland One evidence of the clemeiuy of ihe climate is the surpriMnKly rapid increase in agricultural produce. Along the southeastern coast and in the S'ukon, Xanana and other valleys, potatoes, beets, carrots, turnips, rutabanas, cabbages, winter barley, wheat and oats are all raised successfully. Ska^uay, l>aws4>n and Fairbanks, hold exhibits of vej^rtablcs and Howers that are unequalled anywhere in the L'niteU Siaifs or Canada. Hunting and Flshlnft It is safe to say that there is no greater hunting and fishing region anywhere in *he world than Alaska, the Yukon Territory and northern British Columbia. Many districts afford practi- cally virgin territory. The country along the White Pass & ^'ukon Route abounds in large and small game — the streams, rivers and lakes are full of fish. The principal \ irieties of large game are caribou, moose, bear, mountain sheep and goats. Information as to the game laws, guides, horses, launches, etc. etc., and the various districts where the different kinds of game and fish are found, will be furnished on request. OPPORTUNITIES FOR MINING INVESTORS The White Pass & 'S'ukon Route invites the attention of investors to the various mining districts along its lines. The Atlin, Klondike and Fairbanks Districts contain large areas that can be profitably worked by dredges, steam shovels and hydraulicing. The copper and coal properties in the vicinity of White Horse, and the silver, copjxT and gold quartz properties along the Windy Arm near Caribou, and in the Wheaton River \al!ey near Robinson, offer special opportunities for investments. The White Pass & Yukon Rmite will gladly afford those interested in mining in the territory contiguous to its lines, the Two Klondike Qold DrsdK**f among th« Largait In tti* World l>enefit of any advice or hcl[> it can extend through any mining engineer in Its employment.
