Excerpt from Lecture on the Yukon Gold Fields (Canada): Delivered at Victoria, B. C Yukon District of the Northwest Territories, bordering on the Territory of Alaska. The district is more generally known by the name of the Klondyke Gold Fields, from the phenomenally rich mines discovered on the branches of the Klondyke. The manu script has been revised and amplified by Mr. Ogilvie since the delivery of the lecture, and its publication is authorized by him. Mr. Ogilvie's statements are of the greatest value, and can be taken as absolutely correct. Not only because of his well-known ability and integrity, but because they are the result of his actual observation, experience and work, he having spent many years in the Yukon region in the service of the Dominion Government. He is conceded to be the best living authority upon all matters concerning this far northern portion of America, and what he has to say as to the Yukon country generally, the several routes giving ingress to it, its natural resources and mineral formation - as well as the glimpses which he permits of the life of the miners at the fever period of the great rush - is here presented.
