This was the season of the midnight
sun. and with continuous daylight we
could make our start at any time The
change of the early morning watch was
the most convenient time. and at four
o'clock the starboard quarter boat was
lowered away. and with four strong
men at the oars our vhaieboat was soon

fork in the river and hauled the boat
well up on the beach. We then walked
about one hundred feet up the smaller
stream to spot where the water was
quite shallow.
Such sight a. we saw there is be-
yond description. We had seen what
seemed like millions Of fish rs we came
up the river. But here the water was
fairly alive with them. It seemed as
though the fish would fairly puah each
other out Of the water in their strug-
giles to 60 up stream. Literally. tho
water was a struggling mass of salmon
of all sizes.
There was nothing poetic or ehusive
about Ungurula. The sight was an old
story to him and he was too intensely
practical to have anything in mind be-
yond the capture IRE ct a thirty good, td tat,
off his boots, stockings and trousers,
then with the mysterious board in hand
began the fishing. It was very evident
we were to have a degree of fishermen's
luck that would make any dsherman's
heart burst with gladness. But the
question in mind was: How is it to be
done?
Ungurula soon explained It. Walk
ing out into the stream to . depth Of
about three feet he raised the board
high in the air-the surface with the
bristling array of spike points down
then, with a quick, muscular swing,
slapped it on the water with all the
strength his two arms could command.
The instant it struck the water he
jerked it with downward movement
in toward the shore, and "a he drew it
out of the water upon the sand. he
brought with it four big king salmon
that had been securely spiked.
The mystery of the tackle was az
planned.
With such q living stream Of fish it
was a question Of only few minutes to
catch our requisite supply Of thirty
fish. The water was Icy cold. but the
guide was toughened TO this manner OF
fishing, and after the last catch Of fish
was secured restored the circulation OF
blood in his legs by vigorous rubbing
and was apparently none the worse for
his bath.
This was tho most successful fishing
trip and the most novel way Of catch
ing FISH that ] had ever known We
might have kept up the work for hours
and made no apparent diminution In
| the number of fish. But we had all We
could well use, 50 returned with our
catch to the boat, showed on and
reached our ship under the glow Of the

Unlike the early run Of fish these
king salmon were large, ranging from
eight to sixteen pounds Their flesh
was a deep salmon color and when
cooked they were as tender and rich a.

excitement then ranked only second to
that of Leadville, and thousands were
rushing to the new Eldorado. The
great dance hall was crowded with
miners, prospeetors and tenderfeet-
Two sets of dancers had been on the
floor all the evening. Two long rows
of gaming tables had also been running
at full blast, and at midnight there
came a lull in the dancing for lunch.
Some of the boys took possession of tho
platform, and young fellow dressed
in jacket and overalls threw his SLOUGH
hat back on his head aud struck up
some familiar tune on the piano. There
were about dozen in the party who

the boys started up Home, Sweet

home associations began to fill the great

He had no objection to Gospel hymns,
but entered protest at "Home, Sweet

Don't, boys; don't sing that song

"Why not?" asked one of the boys.
"You will make all the girls home

smoke and the scent of liquors; the
orchestra is playing: the floor is filled
with dancers: there are hundreds OF
spectators watching the dancers and
gambling tables Amid the din is heard
the steptorian voice of the floor mana
ger calling" the dance. The gambling
tables are crowded, and sometimes a
woman, with jeweled fingers and
sparkling diamonds, is dealing faro.
Among the players are often found
the dark-haired senoritas, who delight
In a game with Spanish cards, which
they carry with their cigarette package.
The floor manager is a prominent
person, and he is chosen for his might

Loadville now has but ono variety
show. The old place formerly run by
''Pop" Wyman still has the clock on
which he had inscribed the following:
"Please don't swear" Hero it was that
"Pop" had costly Bible, already ia
nous In the history of the frontier,
chained to his bar. IT have been asked
ten thousand times, he recently said to
me, "why had that Bible chained to

City, and for several years connected
with LeadviIle journalism, was the one
whom Pop" Wyman said wonld tell
me the secret II ever anyone revealed

sidered the most historic Bible In the
