Miners Strain in Yukon Towns and Overcrowded Steamer
Winter daylight is scant in December as miners ride out to work with only half an hour sun. Saloons and gambling halls bustle in cities, drinks cost a few cents and cigars are cheap. Prosperous miners often treat crowds with rounds costing hundreds of dollars. Mr Keller urges travelers to avoid Alaskan fields for two years due to a flood of prospectors. The steamer carrying Keller carried 3860 passengers beyond its 52 capacity, as the Yukon route from St Michaels to San Francisco took twenty days.
