On the Way to Klondyke. PEMBROKESHIRE MAX AT VANCOUVER. INFORMATION FOR INTENDING EMIG RANTS. The following interesting letter has been received by the editor of the "Haverfordwest Telegraph" from Mr. A. Stanley White, for- merly of Haverfordwest, who is now with his father on the way to the Klondyke goldfields to open a store there. Mr. White writes from the Oriental Hotel, Vancouver, British Colum- bia "Several of my young friends asked me before I left Haverfordwest to write them when I got to Canada to inform them if British Columbia or Alaska were good places to emigrate to. I find it impossible to write to all who wish for information, so, perhaps, you will come to my help and find room in the 'Telegraph' for this letter. I have travelled about a good deal since I came out here, and have been to several towns, or cities, as they are called, and in every city I have visited the great desire of almost everyone is to get to the Klondyke goldfields. The discovery in this part of the world seems to be tile beginning, middle, and end of all topics of conversation. Every daily paper devotes considerable space to the subject; new maps. new lectures, and new books are appear- ing, I was going to say every day, but I can safely say every week. There seems to be but one opinion, and that is that there is plenty of gold for everyone. No one should attempt to reach Vancouver unless he h:ts 500dol. (£100) with which to purchase an outfit to take bun to Dawson City and supply him with provision:; for twelve months. It could lJ8 done for less if three or four joined together. Th-re is no need to take any luggage or clothing from Eng- land, except what is absolutely necessary. All things bought in Vancouver will enter the lvloudyke goldfields free of charge, as they ar:" m Canadian territory. Anyone coming from England should not leave later than the middle or end of January. I like Vancouver better than any city I have visited. There are now about 25,000 inhabitants; the streets are wide [and extend for couplc of miles in length. they are lighted by electricity. I should not tike to offer advice one wav or the other-anv- one going there will have to take the same chance as thousands of others who will be going in the spring. For these who are williiig to work and able to rough it there is a good chance to make a. fortune, for there is plenty of work and plenty of gold there. The wages have been as high as 20dols. j£4) a day, and 15dols. (JE5) a day is the ordinary wage.
