The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1897-08-03

young man who makes up his
mind to strike for the Yukon
gold fields imagines that his jour
ney is ended when he reaches
Juneau-that he has but to step
across the country and he is at
the Yukon. He will find, how
ever, that he is greatly mistaken.
On arriving at Juneau he will
have to get an outfit that will
cost him from $500 to 5000 and
then he will have to cross a wild.
mountainous country, along Ind
ian trails. He will have to cross
four large lakes and make three
portages before he reaches the
Yukon river. Arrived there,
however, it is comparatively easy
sailing until he comes to likely
tributary, up which he will have
to work to placer field.
"At this time Of the year the
heat is something awful in the
valleys of those little tributaries
and the miner is compelled TO
wear closely woven mosquito
netting over his face and gloves
on his hands to keep from being
blinded by the mosquitoes and
black flies, which swarm in
countless numbers in the valleys.
So bad are they that the sleeves
at the wrists and the trousers at
the ankles must be tied tightly
or the little pests will crawl in
side. Their sting seems to be
more venomous than that of the
mosquito and black fly here. 1t
is impossible to keep domestic
animals in the valleys, the flies
will blind them in day. All the
wild animals, the reindeer, elk,
ETC., remain on the mountains
during the summer.
"But in spite of all these diff
culties the placer miners dig out
enough gold in two or three sum
mers to make them independ ent
of want for the rest of their lives.
The trouble with most of them
is, however, that after having
suffei ed the heat of summer and
extreme cold of winter until they
have accumulated 5000, $40, 900
or $4,000, they come to civiliza-
tion and spend their money in
carousing and gambling until in
a very few weeks it is all gone.

. H, Was a Goldbug.
Nevada Silver State.

Nevada Silver State.
Thomas Shoae of the Busch
hotel had an amusing experience
with a fair sample of an eastern
goldbug recently. Several pas
sengerS of one of the Christian
Endeavor trains took breakfast
at the hotel, among them being
one with the appearance and
manners of down east business
man. AT the table this individ-
ual aired his views on political
questions, and was especially
loud in his Remuneration of the
silver lunatics. He illustrated
his argument to his fellow pass
engers in the following manner /:
Surprising" said Mr.. Gold
bug, 1--WE had free silver and I
should tender the proprietor of
this hotel five dollar gold piece
to pay for this breakfast for my
self and wife. He would give me
four dollars in change in silver.
Now, mind you, these dollars
would be worth only fifty cents
each, or two dollars in all. There
fore l would be paying three
dollars for the meals. Wouldn't
1t be a case of legalized robbery?"
Outrageous Shameful ="
echoed several of his listners
and the talk went on in a like
manner until the meal was over.
Mr.. Goldbug then hustled up to
the counter with an important
air and threw down q dollar
bill. Mr.. Shone handed him
back a tive-dollar gold piece and
four silver dollars as change
Mr.. Goldbug looked at the coins
a moment, an expression of
righteous indignation overspread
his face, and he loudly demanded:
-Four dollars and ninety.nine
cents more, please"
u gave you the correct change
-nine dollars" said Mr.. Shone.
mo, sir, shouted Mr.. Gold
bug, you have given me only
four silver dollars and a miser-
able penny"
MI, Shone at once saw the
mistake the excited Hannaite
had made, and informed him the
supposed copper cent was a FIVE
dollar gold piece.

the muscles with steel and sent
great bodies of men search of the
Holy Sepulchre, but in this day
and age the mad scramble for
gold can develop a stampede in
side of a fortnight that makes
the old fashioned crusade appear
like very small affair. 1t seems
that the days of 40 when the
great American desert was
whitened with the bones of pill
grims who thirsted for the gold
of California, are to be duplicat-
ed by the rush for the Alaskan
gold fields. The reports from
that quarter of the globe are GER
tainly amazing, but intelligent
men will discount them greatly.
Undoubtedly there is behind
these fabulous tales of wealth q
deeply laid and carefully planned
conspiracy to speculate upon the
credulity of the people. Know
ing that such marvellous stories
of gold discoveries, wherein
more of the precious metal is
found in given area than could
be crowded into that much un-
occupied space, would be natur-
ally regarded as the dreams of
some Munchausen who preferred
exaggeration to the truth, the
reports have been timed to reach
the States simultaneously with
large shipments of gold to Seat
tie and SanFrancisco. Possibly,
yes, probably, this gold has been
taken out of some productive
gulches of the Alder gulch type,
during the past two or three
years and gotten together for a
great shipment that would sci
the world on fire when accom-
panied by the statements that
vast fields of solid gold had been
discovered, where a man could
go out and scrape up a fortune
or two before breakfast. The
editor of the Western Mining
World is personally acquainted
with Mr.. Heally,o of the big trans
portation company that takes the
place of railroads, and makes it
possible for pilgrims to trans
port their luggage into the in.
terror. Mr.. Heally is an excel
lent man, shrewd, hard headed
gentleman, who did not go to
Alaska for his health. In com
mon with some of his associates
whom we also know personally,
he believes there are vast oppor-
tunities for speculation in Alaska.
in a business way, and what is
more he believes he has some of
the uest of those opportunities
safely corralled. II goes with
out saying that a boom in Alaska
means a big fortune to Mr..
Heally and friends, not only in a
matter of transportation, at fab
ulous prices, to the great gold
field OF the Interior but in the
sale of properties they have
doubtless acquired, and which
under the condition of the boom
contemplated, means millions to
the promoters of the enterprise.
This paper is not criticising Mr..
Heally for his thrift but believes
that due caution should be used
before investing in Alaskan pos.
sibilities. 1t is not unlikely that
the reports from the interior are
woefully exaggerated. That gold
is found in large quantities in
small areas is perhaps true. In
that latitude the presence of
rich placers is more than prob
able, and we have talked with
mining men who from personal
observation declare that some
day Lapland and the remote
northern sections of Sweden and
Norway will astonish the world

now organizing in SanFrancisco
and Seattle, and which may be
reinforced from Montana-a land
where men trade off local oppor.
tunities for great expectations.
The arrival of 5000, 900 Of Alas
kan gold in Helena, coming in
with the boom reports, means
that perhaps hundreds of Mont
anians who ought to know better
will sell their earthly possess
ions for a song and HE them
selves to the promised land land
of the midnight sun, to suffer
and starve, break down and per-
ish in the mad hunt for gold. 1t
is we'll for those to go who under
stand that the investment of at
least 81 900 for an outfit, and to
prepare against the crusade of
exorbitant prices, will be neces-
sary. The cost of living is some
thing enormous, and woe to the
man who expects to visit the
camp with a pittance and immed-
lately roll in wealth. The chan
ces are that ninety-nine out of
every hundred who go to Alaska
in search for gold will return in
search of three meals day in
short time.
A. p. Swineford, who was gov
ernor CT Alaska from 1885 to
1890, talks Interestingly of that
section of the country in arecent
issue of the Pioneer Press. In
commenting on the hot weather
he said
''This is cool weather compar-
ed to what we get during the
Alaskan summer along the val
ley of the Yukon. The sun
swings around there in a circle
for three months, just dipping
below the horizon part of the
time for night, which is from
three minutes to three hours
long. 1t is one day for six
weeks, when the sun never sets,
and the only night is ore conjur-
ed up in the imagination. Talk
about it being hot. Why, up in
the Yukon valley in the foot hills
the average temperature during
the summer is 105 to 100. 1t
never rains and the heat is pit
less. The atmosphere is dry,
however, and one can stand the
heat better than in India, say.
where the heat is mixed with
humidity.
There is a peculiar thin g
about the valley of the Yukon,
and all southeastern Alaska, in
fact" continued Mr.. Swineford.
"that is the perpetual verdure
during the summer months. No
matter how hot it is nor how dry
the rain may not fall from the
beginning of June until the close
OF summer, on the last of August
yet the grass and shrubbery
will be as green and luxuriant
as it is here now. Your verdure
this summer, ON account of the
excessive rainfall, is something
like that in the interior of Alaska,
dark green and sturdy, full of
life, like a healthy, robust man.
In Alaska, however, the luxuri-
ance and yertility Of the verdure
is due to the fact that the ground
never thaws below depth of
six or ten feet. No matter how
hot its, the hotter the better, the
frozen ground continually gives
up to the roots of the grasses
and growing grains q life giving
moisture.
THE Yukon valley is like the
valley of the Red river of the
North in Minnesota, and some
day it will be the finest wheat
growing district in the world.
That time will not come, how
ever. until railroads are built
into the heart of Alaska. al
though there are now located
along the Yukon many fine farms.
