LITTEE FROM AN ASHBURTON MAN.

Mr James Ashton, of the Forks, has received a very interesting letter from Mr Oharleu Paget, formerly of Green street, but now in Dawson City, which baS been placed at our disposal, and ie published for general information :— ■ Now about the country. I have not made a great de%l here, but at the senate time i have done better than if T had remained in New Zealand. When I first came here in '98, it was pood for wages, getting at the rate of £3 a day for ten hours work per day. Anyone could have done the work, us it is only the sams as doing work in the gravel pit at home. Now, wages have come down to £1 per day. The country and mines are now all frozen up. 1 have sunk holes 50ft, and even at this depth they are frozen. You would like to know bow they thaw this ground out. It is a great country for machinery ; every man that has a claim has a boiler —that can afford one. An outfit; for this purpose would cost about £5000, and a man with a poor claim, and could not afford this outifc, would thaw the ground by the aid of burning wood— the length of the wood being, say irom 3to sft—this entirely depends upon the pay streak. After the fire has been set going, it is left for many hours to give it a good chance to burn into the face or pay streak of the shaft; then the old fire is removed to enable men to work with pick and shovel—sometimes by this means one can pick in to about 18ini to 2ft of gravel. Thawing with steam pointi—these points are from 3ft to 6ft long—the pipe is connected from the boiler at the top of the shaft down to tbe place of working. The main pipe, we will say for argument, is 20ft; npon this ia screwed a T shaped pipe, and the points project from this T about sft long. A man is employed with a wooden maul to drive them in ; ai the steam works the ground these points are driven right in, and covers them np with dirt to keep the steam in. These are left in for 24 hours, with sfeeanr working all the time; the face of the shaft can then be worked ; these points are kept working all the time, but of coarse at different places. To give you an idea of some of the claims upon { Elder-ado,' the rich- j ness of them—a gold pan, con taining two shovels fall of gravel— nave contained as much as from £140 j to £160 worth. You might just say, you | were shovelling pure gold aud very. little grave. In a number of places, even at tbe top of some of the hills, gold is found in good quantities. The above is just giving you some idea of the value of some of the claims—of coarse this does not refer to all the ! claims staked in the country. Horses and dogs are used in this country for the transportation of goods, etc. Over the ice, raite, etc, an ordinary horse can pull about 2000 lbs, and a good dog can pull about 800 lbs. In tbe summer, dogs and horses are used for packing purpose. A dog can pack as much as 801b«. A horse or mule about 400. last winter waa the coldest ever known to any white man, For a period of three weeks the thermometer regis tered 70 degrees below zero, this was the official regi Other thermometers reg. 10 deg below that. People whom I bave known' dare not put their noses outside of the cabins during this cold nnap or else would get their facfts frozen. This winter has just been the reverse, very mild, the thermometer reg. about 52 below—for a few days only. The average winter lasts about eight months. We don't evn see the ®an for a period of two months. Now the wammer is vastly different. Dur log June and July we have no dark neae at all. A newspaper can be read nt midnight as easily ad in the day time. People noon the 21st of Jane walk to the top of a foot hill to witness the midnight sun. The heat of sum mer I have known to be about 90 in the shade. And m for mosquitoes and «and flies there is no place in the world to equal this for them. 1 have now been away from Dawson for 12 months prospeoting and hunting, I have seen all the game both big and small of the country. Big game— Mooffi, cariboo, mountain sheep, bear, wolverine, wolves, martin, beaver, link, and weasel. Small, game— grouse, partridge, whiskey Jack (or camp robber) and the raven, which resembles the Australian crow — only much larger—hawks, and owls, these ail remain the winter. Then In the summer, docks and geese. I bad one narrow escape in my prospecting trip when I nearly got drowned. My self and three Indians went across a river in flood, In a small boat, and the boat capsized when we got into mid stream. Two of the Indians were drowned, myself and the other Indian, caught the boat and eat npon tbe keel of it, and went down the river in rapid water. We worked the«boat into the bank with our hands until the Indian touched bottom, then he left it and got ashore, I went on down the river on top of the boat. When the Indian reached the shore he ran along the bank with a branch try ing to pull me ashore, but could not Manage it on account of the timber along the banks, So I managed to get ashore myself, as the boat came in shore. When I got ashore, the Indian ran op to me, shook hands with me, and then kissed me as if I belonged to them. We would have been drowned If we had not caught the boat? As regards my health, it simply couldn't have been better. 1 And now, I think I have told you all the news up to the present.

Dyspepsia and Debility A LASTING CURE. The Case of MrTj. H. HOOFER. (By a Chri&tchurch Reporter). _ In a country like New Zealand, whera the_ climate is generally favourable for agricultural and pastoral .pursuits, it is a natural sequence that fine sheep and catt c are reared on the hills and plains which are yearly covered with luxuriant, grass. Besides affording great scope tor the enterprise of farmers and graziers ;uui men of all grades of industry, New Zealand possesses natural advantages of in oh magnificence that it is regarded ;',s asi ideal country for tourists. The Temperate heat of summer makes travel ing a pleasure—-whilst the sharp, frosty atmosphere during the winter months has i a bracing influence upon the inhabitants. Most people feel marked eilects resulting from changes in cli mate, and one gentleman's experience in this respect may prove beneficial to most readers. Mr. John Henry Hooper, of Stunmore-road, Richmond, Christ church, during the course of conversa tion^ informed' the reporter that he was residing in Brisbane, Queensland, some time back. ''How did the climate agree with. you?" asked the pressman. "Not at all well. In fact, after living in that hot city three or four years i found that I was becoming a confirm ed _ victim to that tired feeling which afflicts so many people. The enervating effects of the burning heat brought dis aster to my constitution. I was debili tated and weakened to a great degree. A feeling of languor and fatigue beset me, making everything I had' to do a nuisance and a drudging. I was com pletely run clown, and my appetite de serted me just at the time I required to eat in order to regain my strength. If I did. take a little food I experienc ed severe 'attacks of indigestion, as shown by an uncomfortable feeling in the stomach, with dull, oppressive pains in the chest. I suffered greatly with piercing headaches, and there was a bad taste in my mouth." "Were you able to get any rest at night ?" ■ "No; not much. The nerves of the brain seemed crowded together by gases which arose from the undigested food! and the resulting pains in the head kept me awake at night. On arising in the inornmg I felt drowsy and exhausted, with my limbs ever aching from in creasing weakness Sharp pains came between the shoulders to assist in ad ding to my affliction, and, taken alto gether I had a very bad time indeed." " Did your sufferings extend over a length of time?" "Too long for my liking, I assure you,. I was in a state of debility between two and three years; my digestive organs were impaired and I was also afflicted with insomnia, so it is not necessary to further describe my condition." "What medicine were you taking; all that timer" "Whatever they were they are nofc worth mentioning, as they did me no good whatever. On the other hand, I experienced the utmost relief from Clem ents Tonic; the first bottle gave me in creased energy. My appetite returned like magic, and by that means I was able to throw off the cloak of fatigue which had so long hung upon me. It was a pleasure to feel hungry once more, but the most satisfactory feature of this great change was that my food had no trouble in digesting. The pains in my back slowly but surely diminished and the feeling of weight and oppression in. my chest went away. The acute and distressing headaches became less severe, and had longer intervals between them, until at last they^ too, were obliterated* by Clements Tonic. As »these pains ceased to torture me I managed to sleep more regularly, and far more sound ly than J. had done for months and months. "'There is no doubt that Clem ents Tonic cannot be beaten for restor ing a debilitated and shattered system to robust health. In my case it great ly exceeded my most sanguine antici pations. I felt each dose effecting an improvement in my general health, but although I became daily stronger and stouter I kept on with Clements Tonic till I was quite well and in a splendid condition. I have not required to take any medicine since, so that speaks yoi :inos for the merits of Clements Tonic." "Can I insert your remarks in the press?" Decidedly. Others may profit there by, so you can publish my statements in any way you choose."
