Twr OOHE wonderful gold fields now known the world over ^i\j^ as the Clondyke diggings, are situated on a branc^i •u^*?^ of the Yukon River, in the Canadia^i Northwest Territories. Gold was discovered in the Yukon b%sin in 1881 on a tributary of the Lewis River, during the next few years considerable mining was done on the Hootalinqua, which flows out of Teslin Lake and into the Yukon. Since then gold has been found in paying quantities on ' Stewart River, Forty-Mile Creek, Glacier Creek, Birch Creek, and last but by no means least, the creeks tributary to the Clondyke. Forty- Mile Creek is for the most part in Alaska; the headwaters of Sixty-Mile Creek are also in United States territory. Miller, Glacier and Birch Creeks were once thought to be in Alaska, but are now known to be in Canada, and of the wonderfully rich Clondyke there has never been any doubt every inch ol it, and all it contains, is in Canada. Remember that Cuondvle, Yukon, is IN Can.\dian Territory, and that all goods from the United States must pay duty at port of entry. Goods purchased, in Canada enter free. 9 ^ Poodle D Rotisserie Restaurant Mrs. R. C.

The other is by crossing over the Coast Range of mountains to the head waters of the Lewis branch of the Yukon and descending by boat. The shortest route from Victoria is that via the White Pass, and is approximately 1,594 miles. Another available route to the Lewis River is from Dyea, at the head of Lynn Canal, via the Chilcot Pass. This distance is slightly longer than that via the White Pass. A third Route to the Lewis River is via Fort Wrangle and the Stickeen River to Telegraph Creek and thence overland by pack train to Lake Teslin. Still another route is from the head of Taku Inlet, a little south of Juneau, thence overland by the valley of the Taku River to Lake Teslin. The distance to Lake Teslin by this route is approximately the same as via the Stickeen route. Among th6 many vessels which are engaged in carry- ing the host of prospective millionaires from Puget Sound to the gold fields of the far North, the fine steamers of the Canadian Pacific Navigation Company are justly entitled to a front rank. The steamer Princess Louise, which sails from Victoria on August 7th, is a staunch and commodious side-wheeler, provided wi;;h all modern conveniences. The steamship Islander, which is billed to leave Victoria on August 15, is of the latest and best construction in every way. She is a twin-screw iron ship, and is expected to make the trip from Victoria to Dyea in 3^ days. She is "commanded by Capt. J. Irving, the commodore of the fleet, and those who know him will tell you that if you go under his care you will be well looked after. 176252 The Best Soap to use in the <^KLONDYKE MINES White Swan, Home Rule, British Mot- tle, Oatmeal and Carbolic Soaps.

Customs officers went North on the steamship Islander on July ^gth, with instructions to enforce the law just as strictly in the passes as anywhere else in Canadian terri- tory. (See also page 23).

IN the space of a short article we find it hard to enumer- ate the rates of duty on every article which goes to make up the outfit of a Clondyke prospector. Sufl&ce it to say that the duties on groceries, clothing, hardware, etc., brought into Canada from the United States will average fully 30 per cent., if not more — that is, a man buying three hundred dollars (I300) worth of goods in the United States will have to pay about one hundred dollars ($100) in duty; whereas if he outfits on Canadian soil he will have no duty to pay, and will save lots of vexatious bother in clearing his goods, etc. MoRAi^ — Buy in Victoria and save money and trouble. ProspectOiS going to the Yukon should bear in mind that one of the most important things to give their atten- tion to is protection against the rigorous winters, and we should strongly advise them to provide themselves with plenty of heavy warm clothing. They will find British made woollen goods^o be very cheap in Victoria, B. C, and will find it greatly to their advantage to take a full supply. iMn ■m 8 G. G.

REASONS FOR BUYING IN VICTORIA. ^ OODS of all descriptions, either for the outfit of the individual miner, or for the trader, no matter how large his order may be, can be supplied in Victoria as cheaply as at any other point on the Coast, and as the goods are destined for Canadian territory it is a direct advantage to buy 'them in a Canadian city and thereby save the duties. The best proof of this is the fact that the big Ameri- can trading companies doing business in the Canadian- Yukon country have been, for the last few years, purchas- ing the greater part of their supplies in Victoria. If these big United States companies could do as well in their own country would they come to Victoria, Canada, to buy their goods ?

The laws of Canada will be enforced in the whole territory precisely as they are enforced everywhere else. Upon this point there ought to be no mis- take whatever. Miners purchasing their outfits in the United States or elsewhere out of Canada, must pay duty either at Victoria before taking the steamer, or ai l,ake Tagish, after crossing the Pass. Attempts have been made by interested parties in the United States to create the impression that the Canadian authorities either could not or would not collect duties. This has already caused distress among miners who have spent all their money buying their tickets and outfits. Goods on which duty is not paid will be confiscated. T. N.

'O" facilitate matters^ and avoid ' delay at the Yukon [ilL boundary, the Collector of Customs in Victoria is giving the following certificates to Americans who pay their duties here, or to people '■ who are taking their supplies from here : I hereby certify that the goods enumerated on the invoice or copy of entry No herewith attached and numbered on Outward entry, are the product or manufacture of Canada or are duty paid, at the Port of "Victoria, British Columbia, No. of package being Sworn before me at Victoria, B. C„ ) this. .....day of ..., 1897. / ) Collector. • I hereby certify that the number of packages ( ) of goods described herein are entitled to pass the customs , station at Tagish, N. W. T., and the Mounted Police, N.W. T., without further detention, only examination of packages. Collector of Customs. Armed with this ^document the miner has no delays on the Yukon boundary, for on presentation at Tagish Lake to the customs officer the certificate is stamped and he proceeds on his way rejoicing ; whereas the other fellow who neglects to get his certificate here is forced to a delay at Dyea or Tagish Lake while his papers are made out, and naturally with such a big rush of people it may be two or three days before he gets away. There are some no doulft who imagine that in some way they will succeed in getting their goods into the Canadian Yukon without paying duty, but they will find themselves grievously disappointed, as the customs laws will be most strictly carried out. 27 A.W.More&Go., MlNIland fieal Estate & Insurance Agts 86 GOVERNMENT ST., Victoria, B.
