DON'T SEEK GOLD IN ALASKA.
Most of Those Who Have Tried Are Now
Stranded and Destitute.

The warning of an old resident of
Alaska to all who may be tempted to
seek their fortunes in the gold fields
of that region should be needed He
declares that nearly half the men there
now are destitute and unable to secure
employment All the established
mines accessible from the coast are
fully stocked with miners, and pros
pecting and developing are all that is
left. As for employment in other voca-
tions, there is none to be had.
There is no doubt that much truth
exists in the accounts of rich discover
les that have been made there, but the
hardships which accompany the indus
try are too severe for any except those
sufficiently equipped. Provisions are
necessarily very dear, and no work Of
any kind is possible during the greater
part of the year. The mines which
have secured rich returns are owned
by wealthy corporations enjoying
every facility which poor man is de-
MED.
The recent reduction in steamer
rates to Alaska, coupled with the fabll'
lous stories of rich discoveries, has re-
suited in crowding the boats engaged
on the run. Hundreds with barely suf.
ficient to pay their passage are going
north. They do not realize that the
conditions are wholly different from
those in new mining camps elsewhere.
The extreme cold imposes limitations
which prohibit an ordinary mining
boom. An evidence of the severity of
the cold is shown in the fact that in
panwashing for gold the quicksilver
will not act as it does in a milder cli-
mate, but permits all the float gold tn
escape, retaining none but coarse gold
Alaska has great possibilities for
wealthy investors, out none for men
who depend on their daily labor or who
want to take chances of making val
liable discovery in prospecting. 1t IL
one thing TO find rich deposit
in that remote and difficult
region and another to obtain n pur-
chaser. AS for depending on what may
he secured by panwashing in the gla-
cial moraines, considering the very
short season during which that may be
done, it should appall the hardest
spirit. Besides the richest deposits are
far inland, to which no one dare pcnc-
trate unless he De amply provided with
money and provisions.-San Francis

How Each Che Becomes His

The line does not run along the middle of the street but 90 near the business houses on the United States side that a niche has been cut into one of the houses to make room for aY international monu- ment. This house is occupied Ly Mir. J. I. Brick wood who conducts a saluon in it. Asa result of the circumstance that cigars are cheaper and rather better than other cigars, very few American or imported cigars are sold in Nogr les on either side. NIT. Brick- woods place has been described in sev- ersl eastern papers as being divided by the line so that customers by stand ing st one end of the bar may he serv- ed with cigars and drinks Of Mexican manufacture and at the other end with articles of American make. The description is erroneous, but MT. Brick ooi has created an ingenious arrangement to meet the cigar emer- gency. Outside his door and within six feet O! it. he has erected a strong box filled with Mexican cigars None are kept in the house. Customers are invited out 10 the box which being unlocked they take the cigar cut with their own fingers. Thus every one be- comes his own snuggler and the custom laws of the southern republic are preserved intact.

Old adobes that have stood for lO0 years and over are being torn down and in their place are being erected magnificent business blocks. They are doing little If any trade with Europe, for the reason tha, they are manufacturing everything they need. The only thing you can sell them is teas. mating and Japan .ilks, and in short time they will be manufactur- ing the two latter articles. Eastern capital is being invested in Mexico with good results. 1 found several Eastern capitalists who also went 70 Mexico As gold bugs, but have chang ed their opipion As to free silver. Why Tree silver l consider one of tine bes; protection arguments that can be brought out. Ii free silver has done so much for Mexico, which it un- doubtly has, it is good enough for this country.
