Excerpt from The Klondyke Gold Fields: Their Discovery, Development and Future Possibilities, With Practical Information on Gold Mining, How to Get There, What to Carry, What to Do, Also Hints of Value to Propectors Traders and Investors I to paint the golden horizon in such sombre colors as to freeze the heroism and to lessen the self-sacrifice which must inspire every gold seeker if he is to have the most remote chance of ultimate success. Naturally, my best and kindest wishes will accompany every reader of this little work who may set forth upon the hunt for gold and it will be my aim, in the following pages, to shed some light upon the pathway of those who abandon home for scenes which, to the many, are at present unimaginable; while others, who merely peruse these lines for information or amusement will, I hope, find nothing they may unduly criticize. There is yet another class of readers to whom a few pages will be expressly devoted. They are the seekers for wealth through the medium of investment; and as the gold fever is rampant and epidemic throughout the land, from New York to San Francisco, from Juneau to the Gulf of Mexico, the Wall Street gambler, the Quaker City promoter, the Frisco mining broker, and the confidence men of a thousand and one minor cities, will be like vultures hovering over the prey, laying traps for the unwary and seeking to despoil the widow, the orphan, the merchant, and the fool, by the introduction of wild cat and impossible schemes, presented in as many forms and colors as Joseph's Biblical coat. I do not claim to possess immaculate judgment and I do recognize fully the importance of fostering and advocating legitimate enterprise; but in all these things there is a line of wisdom to be drawn, and I hope that those of my readers who may contemplate investing hardly earned savings in Alaskan mining schemes may find the price of this book repiid to them ten thousand fold.
