country is is coming to a hard climate un der hard condi tion and all the he can bring enough to im agine Oh well can stand it for That year or two will ruin a man without proper equip ment It may be useless to warn anyone against coming to this country but no man can imagine difficulties to be encountered Apart from the passes danger of running the rivers full of rocks by inexperienced boatmen cannot be estimated People come in too without having the faintest idoa of the country and many have to run rapids without knowing they had come to them until ill was late to turn back In my letter of the other day I told you about the ice jam we encountered here It was something awful The more I think of it the more marvellous was our escape It almost makes one shudder to think of A long way off these difficulties seem as nothing the glamour of the gold here but the stern realities makes- one forgot all about the gold and one thinks only of living in some kind of comfort and the pre servation of his life The three men who lost their boat here the other day had been from July to Ootobor get ting their goods over the White Pass and in a moment lost everything but the clothing on their backs and one man J J Freeman lost his life Men have already been sent to Little Salmon about miles ahead to build post there and in an other week we shall move on foot and proceed to Selkirk It is ranging from to below zero now all the time and sun is with us only about hours a day and growing less as we go farther north and he gets farther away In of the enormous difficulties I have no doubt we will be in the new year and a short time later at Dawson City We shall soon have a complete line of posts established from to Selkirk and mail service will at once be established We shall also be in readiness for the rush of people in the and the organization of the ad ministration of affairs in this district will be almost as complete as our Pro vincial Governments The one diffi culty here is transportation a shortage of food Freemans Point Nov We are all well in excellent health and with the supplies behind us will be in firstclass shape until the spring when more supplies can be sent in Major Walsh already sent forward men to the Little Salmon miles below here where they will build a post and as soon as we have constructed sufficient toboggans we shall all move forward on foot Captain Norwood and six men is moving back to the various posts we established as we came through and which are all more than supplied and with two men Bowles and added to our strength we shall num ber eleven It quite likely part of pur party will be left at the Little Salmon River and Major Walsh and myself with several of our Indians will push ahead We shall reach Sel kirk by the first of the year and will probably push on to Dawson later At any rate we shall reach Selkirk our destination in the first instance One of the two men going out had come from Dawson City leaving there in October He reported that there was a scarcity of provisions at that place and that the Commission Mr had put up posters on Oct 1st warning people without provisions for the winter to make their way to Fort Yukon miles down the river as there was a shortage of food It appears that two boats destined for Dawson and laden with provisions had to unload at Fort Yukon on count of the lowhess of the river and this man people would have to make their way from Dawson to Fort He said that flour was selling at 100 per sack or per pound Of course we have no means of ascertaining the truth of this mans statements but if they be correct there will undoubtedly be much distress in Dawson this win ter with no hope of relief from the south It is utterly impossible for us to render any relief Even if we had the supply it would be impossible for us to reach Dawson with it having no means of transporation From to this point the we passed as we came along were all supplied with provisions to last until the opening of navigation in the spring and many of them had a years w Dec 2d This month twelve carloads of dead poultry prin cipally turkeys been imported from Ontario to Manitoba and the Northwest
