The latest story to come out 2 the North is that which was. told "by Major C. J. A.

Major Dunlop is so enthusias- "tic over the Red Lake district and its ~possibiiitiés that he predicts tha' the spring will see a gold rush such as has not been known since the palmy days of the Klondike. : "The Red Lake district is so far "from the centres of civilization that the spectacle which it now 'presents has to do for the most part with the difficulties of transportation. The 'nearest railway station is Hudson, on the Canadian National line; and this "has become the jumping-off place for "the gold enthusiasts who are now dar- "ing the North in the middle of winter, * Hudson, from being a small and all- but-isolated centre of 'population, has "suddenly sprung into a place of im- portance, and now it is the scene of all those features of northern activity which of late have been branded as fiction and nothing more. But, accord- "ing to Major Dunlop, all the scenes of 'aromance are there, with the dog-train, . the pack and the packer, the snow- shoes, the Ojibway Indian, and the" 'FIND BODIES OF THREE RL Father, Mother and Son Per- 'ished in Fire Which Des- » troyed Business Block.

Major Dunlop furnished a glimpse of the difficuities along the trail, and these chiefly concerned the frost, the snow, the forest and the whims of the huskies. So far as transportation is concerned, the gold rush appears to be a case of reverting to the primitive for all forms of transportation other than that of the dog-train have failed to stand the strain of a trip from Hudson to Red Lake. The reason Is to be found, not so much-in the wide stretches of ice which must be cover- ed, as in the problem of penetrating the forest, where the trails, though marked, are not such as would appeal to the average man. Because of that, the dog has already been quoted as a premium, as the pres, vailing price for good dogs, when Maj. Dunlop left Hudson a few days ago was $200 each. Even so, the demand has been so keen that all the dogs in the district have been bought up, co that any person wanting to go into Red Lake must get his dogs some- where else.
