highly satisfactory to the manage

that the price OF admission had
been reduced to the low figure Of %

goods, and in every way assisted the

ing.

A Christmas Trip.

The thousands of Texans who
came from the South Atlantic
States find much pleasure in re.
verting to the happy days of long
ago, when they were children, aud
often they awake at night to recall
those scenes of yore which gave to
life charm, and which now come
in later years as visions of joy.
There is tender spot in every
heart for the old home, and the
memories which cluster about the
dear old spot are solaces in the
weary, weary struggle we make
day by day to build in our new
El,1Orado a home to which our
chill, ,'ren in future time will turn.
as we turn now to the old place
where our loved ones in the eve.

HIDDEN TREASURE MILL
Two Kinkead Mills to Be Erected on
that Property Immediately.
SAID TO BE AN EXCELLENT MILL
Two of Them Arrive at the Philipsbura
Depot and Will Be Erected on the
Property as Soon as Possible.

During the week there arrived on the
Northern Pacific railroad, consigned to
Charles D. Mcclure, two kinkead
quartz mills, which are now at the de-
pot. The Mail is informed by Frank
d. Brown, who represents Mr.. Nc
Lures interests in Granite county,
that they will be put up on the Hidden
Treasure property as soon as possible
and got in operation. In talking with
Mr.. Brown we learn that the kinkead
quartz mill will do the work Of five
stamps with less than half the power,
and can be built and put into opera
ton for less than half the cost of
stamps The only wear is the shoe
and die, which is less than that of one
stamp. The cheapness in first cost
and operation of this mill makes it
possible to work with profit ores so low
in value that they have heretofore been
treated as waste. Each mill will
crush 10 tons in "a hours through 40
mesh screen 1t requires only a 2
horse power engine to operate this mill
and one concentratOr. Engine and
mill can be set up and running in IS
hours. These two Kinkead mills will
equal 10-stanp mill and will crush
20 tons each day.

looking well for the development of a
rich gold district. Rich strikes are re-
ported in great numbers and it is evi-
dent that some of them will result in
good paying properties. There are
now forty Or fifty men IN that section
and great many locations have been
made on the opposite side Of Gold
mountain from the Cadle properties,
which Mr.. Mcclure is working on.
The snow is so deep there at present
that it interferes greatly with pros
pecting and developing claims, and
some of the men who are on the look
out have been out there waiting for the
past month for the snow to disappear !;
but with the recent warm weather they
are all feeling that it will only be a
short time before they can get around
all right, as it is disappearing rapidly.

HUNTING AFTER GOLD
Hardships That Must Be Endured il
Far Off Alaska.
GRANITE COUNTY GOLD MINES
Work on the Placers of Rock Creek.
Quartz Locations and Discoveries.
Other Mining News Notes.

When nature planted an inexhaust
ible quantity Of gold in the Yukon val
ley she evidently determined that those
who should be successful in obtaining
it would have to earn it, literally as
we'll as fguratively, by the sweat of
their brows, says the juneau News. In
Vulnerable are the obstacles she has
placed in the way Of the hardy pros
pector and equally countless are the
hardships she has imposed upon him
before he is allowed to reach the land
of golden promise, and once there, his
life is anything on earth but pleasant
one If his claim is an old one he has
worked during the winter with the
thermometer from 40 to 70 degrees be-
low zero, burning the holes and throw
ing out gravel for the coming season s
washing. He has had to make horse
out of himself and "snake" wood per-
haps half mile to get fuel for his
holes. Spring comes and finds him out
of grub, and before he can begin work
he must needs travel to the post, from
20 to 100 miles distant, and lay in a
fresh supply. If he has good dogs, he
can pack portion of his goods back to
his; otherwise he must pack them
himself. In many places he will find
swamps and tundras he must cross,
where the footing is most precarious,
and where a mlsstep may precipitate
him into a seemingly bottomless pool
of mud and Shiny water Added to
this he will find millions and millions
of mosquitoes, gnats and other winged
insects, which will pester him and
make his life hades upon earth.
Such are few of the things which go
to make up the life of the old timer.
TO the recent arrival, who is seeking
riches, his trouble begins when he
leaves the steamer with his outfit at
Dyea. Twenty four miles of a portage
stares him in the face, in travelling
which distance he must ascend from
sea level to an eleavtiOn of over $500
feet, then down again to fresh water
on the opposite side of the range II
he has the funds to spare he can have
his outfit packed over by Indians fol
the modest sum of IA cents per pound.
Once across, he will have to pull his
sled 70 or 80 miles to where he can find
suitable timber with which to make
his boat. If he is a tenderfoot, strictly
speaking. he will never think life at
home with mother was so inconceiv.
ably sweet as he will after an eight
hours run on the upper end of whip
saw. Should this not squeeze every
atom of romance out of his soul he may
consider himself invulnerable and pos
sessed Of the necessary qualities to
make successful Yukon miner.
