Canada famed for gold rushee, is in
for one' of the greatest rushes of its
history. The latest story to come out
of the North,is that which was told
by Major C. J. A. Ctinningham-Dun-
who has been in the gold zone for some,
weeks past staking claims, and who
was able to lift the curtain and show
some of the scenes which are being
witnessed daily in the great White
North. Major Dunlop is so enthusias-

not been known since the palmy days

from the ceetres of civilization that
the spectacle which it now presents
has to do for the most part vrith the
difficulties a transportation. The
nearest railway station is Hudson, on
the Canadian National line, and this
has become the jumping-off place for"
the gold enthusiaste 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 theseene of all
those featurea of northern activity
which of late have been branded as
fiction and nothing more. But, accord-
