San Diego. Cal, July l0.--An inter
esting letter, telling of the recent trip
of the steamer Alaska, has been writ
ten by Captin j. +. Higgins of the
steamer to friend In this city. He
says: -.
"'rhe word Clondyke means Deer riv-
er, md is called Reindeer river on the
charts. 1t empties into the Yukon fifty
miles above the big river The geo
graphical position of the junction is
seventy-six degrees ten minutes NORTH
latitude. 13S degrees fifty minutes west
longitude. Bonanza creek dumps into
Clondyke two miles above the Yukon.
I'll Dorado is a tributary of the Bonan-
"a. There are numerous other creeks
and tributaries, the main river being
300 miles long The gold so far has
been taken from Bonanza and FL Do
RADIO, both well named, for the richness
of the placers is truly marvellous. El
Dorado, thirty miles long. is staked
the whole length, and as fur as worked,
has paid. -
As each claim is 800 feet along the
creek bed, there is half II million to
the claim. So uniform has the output
been that one miner who has an inter
est In three claims, told me that II Of
fered his choice he would toss up to
decide. One of our passengers who Is
taking $1,000 with him, has worked
100 feet of his ground and refused
S2OO,OOO for the remainder, and conf
IDENTIFY expects to. clean up 100000
more. He has in n bottle S212 from
n pan of dirt. His pay dirt while being
washed averaged $50 an hour to each
man shovelng in, Two others of our
miners who worked their own claims,
cleaned up $4,000 from the days wash
Ing. There is about feet feet of dirt
above bed rock, the pay streak avcrag-
ing from four Ia. six feet, which is tun-
neled out while the ground is frozen.
OF course, the ground taken out is
thawed by building fires, and when
the. thaw comes and water rushes IN
they set their sluices and wash the
dirt. Two of our fellows thought n
small bird in the hand worth n large
one in the bush and sold their claims
for $4,000. getting 81 800 down, the re-
mainder 10 be paid IN monthly Install
ments of $4,000 each. The purchas-
ers had no more. than 5000 paid.
They We're twenty days thawing and
getting dirt out. Then there was no
water to sluice with. but one fellow
made n rocker and.in ten days took out
the $4,000 for the first installment.
So. tunncling and rocking, they took
out $4,000 before there was water TO
sluicc with. ...
"Of course, these things read like the
story of Aladdin. but fiction Is not In

located and prospected can he worked
out in Il few years, but there Is still an
immense territory untouched, and the
laboring man who can get there with
one years provisions will have better
chance TO make II stake than In any
other part of the world"

Popular Ideas Which Were Prcarranged
for Their Maiesties.


for Their Maiesties.
Phrasemaking two or three genera
tions ago played an important part in
French politics. Louis XIV. had lit
erary prompter who used to prime him
with phrases and plan for him scenes
such as would excite the peoples ad-
miration, says the Youths Compan-
ion.
Your majesty will soon be going
to the races" said this prompter one
day. You will find notary entering
the bets of two princes of the blood.
When you see him, sire. make the re-
mark: What is the use of this man?
Ought there to be written contracts
between gentlemen? Their word
should be enough"
The scene came off-the prompter
saw to that-and the courtiers ex-
claimed: What happy thought!
How kingly! That is his style"
Another scene. more likely to i'm
press the populace, was planned by
this prompter. A sledging pleasure
party was arranged for the king. Just
as 1t was about to start several carts
passed by, carrying wood to the poor
OF Paris.
These are my sledges." said Louis,
pointing to the loaded carts. and he
declined to join the party.
Talleyrand coined for Louis XVIII.
the remark which he was reported to
have used on the day he entered Paris:
There is nothing changed; only a
Frenchman the more in Paris
As matter OF fact, the king did not
trouble himself to utter the phrase,
but Talleyrand inserted it in the jour
nals OF the day, that the people might
fiatter themselves that their king had
forgotten the past and consequently
there would be no change.
Perhaps the most striking phrase
uttered by modern king was spoken
by King Humbert a few years ago,
when the cholera was raging. In Ma
pies. He had oeon invited by. the mu-
nicipality of Genoa to a banquet. which
he declined in these words:
Men are feasting at Genoa; men
are dying at Naples. go to Naples"

WHEN VICTORIA TRAVELS.
Extraordinary Precautions Taken to Insure

George Lnshan. nn old engineer upon the
London & Southwestern Railroad. known ~
"the Queens driver" has always taken
charge of the engine when Queen Victoria
has been travelling for the last forty years.
He has retired from active service, but Is
still kept upon the rolls at full pay, and
holds himself In readiness to handle the
throttle Whenever her majesty trnvels. She
never allows him to run faster than forty
miles an hour. and often during the night
the speed Is kept down to twenty miles.
The Prince of Wales. on the contrary, when
lie IL running special. can never go fast
enough. While the Queens train is In
motion the track IL cleared for fifty miles
ahead, all traffic IL suspended and all sta
tions are closed for several moments before
her train Is due. A full force of track walk
ers Is sent out on the morning Of the day
and the entire route Is patrolled for hours
In advance Of her coming. The switches
are Inspected by division superintendents.
who usually run over the line half an hour
or an hour In advance OF her, and there Is
always a pilot locomotive mile or two
ahead OF her train. Even the coal that Is
used on the locomotive Is carefully In
spected. for fear some nihllist might Intro
duce IN explosive. T
There are four cars, or carriages upon
the roynl train. The, first is for the lug
gage, the second for the servants, the third
for the Queen and the fourth for the ladies
In waiting and the other attendants.

THE USE OF THE MEoApHoME.
1t Is an Invaluable Adjunct to Crew Train
ard Ofhera


crs and Others.
TheSfeports Of the rowing contests have
all epntained reference to the megaphone,
thronAh which the various coaches c0mmuni-,
caeta with the crews, and accounts from the
training headquarters had similar references,
says the New York Tribune. The simple
Instrument is found to be SO valuable as a
means of communication that 1t Is now
looked upon as a part Of the necessary para
phernalia In q rowing contest. The mega
phone Is simply large cone. from thirty to
hber or light metal The voice of n person
speaking Into the small end Is carried easily
a distance Of mile, while n loud call, when
neither wind nor distractions Interfere, may
be heard on vic water. In open country or
along the shore distance of two miles.
The instrument Is often used as receiver
also. The small end Is placed at the ear,
ana sound from distance which would
otherwise be inaudible, can be heard dis
finctfy. The instrument Is usually held in
the hands of the person who uses 1t, like a
speaking trumpet. but 1t Is constructed so
that II can he fixed to n tripod or n swivel,
and the person using II may remain seated
and direct It to nny point. BY means Of the
mesaphone the audiences at nearly all open
air athletic meetings are Informed ns to the
winners, and ut those places as well as in
the rowing world 1t has become an inyal-
liable instrument.
