The amount of gold brought
down by the steamer Portland from
St. Michaels is a disappointment
to those who expected something
sensational in the way of big gold
shipment. There is, no doubt, a
vast amount of exaggeration to the
reports of gold in the Klondike dis
trlct, and every statement regarding
that country should be taken with
grain of salt. 1t is an undisputed
that it is district wonderfully
rich in gold, but it does not
lie around in heaps ready to be
shoveled into water buckets and
wash tube. Every ounce of gold
that is brought from there represents
o vast amount of privation and
hard work. Possibly in some cases
the actual getting out Of the gold
from the ground is not such hard
work, but the journey into that
country, the return trip and the
living there is all work of the hard
est character, and for which many
Of those who are starting for the
Klondike are totally unified.

The reports of suffering in Alaska
are already beginning to arrive and
the season is yet young. The spec
tacls of a man sitting in his cabin
surrounded by buckets of gold and
chewing a strip of bacon to keep
himself alive, should deter many a
man from foolishly rushing into
that barren country after gold. The
real suffering has not yet begun and
it is terrible to think of the winter
that is before thousands of prospec-
tors in that country. Very soon the
winter will set in and it will be i'm.
possible to obtain news of those
who are shut in for the next six or
eight months.

Silver and Dollar Wheat.

The Caucasian, published at Ra-
leigh, N. c., asks, why has wheat
gone to a dollar bushel?" Because
our competitors in India, Argentine
and other silver using countries
have failed to make a crop this year.
They have complete failure Of
crops-a famine. If they had made a
good crop this year then our Ameri.
can wheat farmers would have sold
wheat this year cheaper than ever
before. The silver using countries
have hundred per cent advantage
over the farmer in gold standard
country. There ia no hope for us
to get good price except when The
silver countries fail to make u crop
that is as long as we stay on the
gold standard. Give the AMERICAN
farmer the free and unlimited coin
age OF silver aud he will get a good
price for wheat every year. He will
get q good price even when India
makes . good crop. -

The Salt Lake Tribune is hopeful

The Salt Lake Tribune is hopeful
of better times. 1t believes that
"behind the clouds the suns still
shining" The Tribune says:
Discoveries of new gold fields continue
to follow in the wake Of the KlOndike
sensation. Up to date rich gold finds are
reported from Mexico, Peru, Nicaragua,
California, Nevada, Iowa. and even Mis-.
souri, and Illinois claim to have disclosed
gold quartz within their borders In
Utah new gold finds are of almost daily
occurrence. The revival of gold mining
started by the Kloudike boom and The
other discoveries nearer home, which may
not reach its height for some years, will
play an important part in lettering times
and easing up the conditions that have
prevailed for SO long. Already ON the
Pacific coast the stimulus given to trade
is noticed, and with the good prices Oh
tainable for lead, wheat, wool and cattle.
the Western country is fast getting back
to the conditions that prevailed before
the panic. In everything but silver min
ing the future is full of promise. and the
fate of the Administration project for
I! restoration Of bimetallism will decide
whether the improvement now manifested
in other lines shall continue or rccedc

The San Francisco Chronicle says /:
Look out for companies that guar
antee steamer passage from St. Mi
chael to Dawson City on the Yukon
river. Winter usually sets in there
about the Goth of September, and
as the Yukon is 1887 miles long
between the two points named no
vessel can possibly get through. To
take that route is to run the risk Of
being frozen in long way from any
where for an entire Arctic winter,
with a prospect of the boat being
ruined by the pressure of the ice.

WOMEN 10 GRUB STAKE MEN.
Novel Mining Company Forzhed-Dspar

$4,000
urs for Klondike.
The women Of Seattle, Wash, are
preparing to make grand rush to
the Yukon. A company recently
fled articles of incorporation with
the County Auditor. The company
is known as the Woman's Yukon
Alaska Mining and Investment Co.
The incorporators are: Mrs. James
MacLachlin, Mrs. Fred Sander and
Mrs. Alice NJ. Akin. The stock is
$500, 900, divided into shares of 81
each. The company proposes to
take 10 or Is men to the gold fields
of the north as soon as spring ar
rives. In fact, the party will leave
Seattle in March. The men will be
QUILTED. Mrs. MacI4achlin will
probably be the leader.
1--WE will work the men, said Mrs.
MacLachlin, ION the half share !;
that is, we will give them their out
fits, have personal supervision Of
their work, and they will receive
half OF what they take out Of the
ground. There are plenty of women
who have the gold fever, but can
not go north themselves and have
not sufficient money to grub stake
others, consequently they have been
compelled to sit by and let the rush
60 on. Now they have chance to
invest in our stock and the resul,
will. l think, be very satisfactory"

idence is agreeable in its frankness,

When wheat goes up and the far
mer rejoices we learn from Republi-
can authority, for what it is worth,
that the almighty tariff did it. The
labor of the husbandman, the fruit,
full properties of the soil, the re-
freshing showers from heaven and
the rays, of the fixed. and everIast-
ing sun planted in the armament
by Omnipotence are not SO potent
as tariff measure devised by a few
gentlemen at Washington. They de-
termine the quantity and the price
of wheat and consequently the pros
perity of the country Such in
effect is Republican claim.
