lowest natural cold that has ever been
recorded, but the region which it marks
has long been recognized as one of the
"poles of cold" of the earth. Incidental
reference to cold of 80 degrees has
been transmitted from the Klondike,
but there can be little question that this
is an exaggeration of the actual sever

COLDER THAN YUKON REGION
Ninety Degrees Below Zero Marked
Last Year in Siberia.

There Is as yet no positive record of
the lowest range of the THERMOMETERS in
the upper Yukon region, but it is safe
to assume that this range extends year
ly to the --50-degree or -6O-degree
line, with not improbable occasional
descent to a somewhat lower level. This
would be approximately the low-!evei
temperature of the true Arctic regions,
and yet by no means the lowest that
has ever been recorded. Thus Kane, in
his Arctic service, has seen rs de-
grees, and the officers of the British
polar expedition of 1876 recorded an
almost equivalent temperature of "a
degrees. On the other hand, the loves.

STEALING GOLD DUST.
Ways in Which the Tricky Miner
Beats His Employer. --

| Ways in which the Tricky MtneI
| beats His Employer.
With the last batch of Klondikers tc
arrive came the news that some tail
stealing was being done by the hired
miners working on the biggest claims
Old timers have been looking for the
Eews before this. and the only expla'
nation of its nonarrival before is that
there have been comparatively few
hired men, most of the Klondike claims
being worked by their owners.
AS soon as the big syndicates and
organized companies which have been
formed the past summer get into work
ing shape and employ large numbers
of men it is believed that the stealings
will surpass any in the history of gold
mining, and that is saying good deal.
Placer mines are the easiest for the
dishonest miner to get in his fine
work, and these are the only kind that
have so far been operated in the Klon-
dixie district. owing to the difficulty
of Transporting milling machinery to
handle the quartz.
Hired miners in the Kloudike receive
from SIS to $40 per day. In some OF the
richest claims a man washes from 500
to $500 worth of dust a day. OF course
the latter figure is the exception. If a
man extracts thimbleful of dust from
his days yield he adds about $50 to his
pay.
Your correspondents informant said
that some of the men were not content
with thimbleful, and at least one man
was known to have appropriated two
ounces, about $34 day, for 30 days
running. The owner of the mine knew
of the thefts, but he didn't want to dis
charge the man as he was an expert in
handling the pan and showed more gold
each day than two other men who
worked within half dozen feet of him.
But when the fellow lifted his daily
rake-off to three ounces day, the own
er got hot, smashed the man in the face
with a shovel and told him if he didn't
leave by the next boat he would bring
the matter toythe attention of the pub
lie administrator in Dawson City and
have him sent up. - !
There is a 20 years. penalty attached
20 theft of that kind and the thief was
considered lucky to get Off as he did.
If the mine owner had wanted to make
trouble he could have killed the man
and no one would have bothered him.
But he happened to be an eastern man
who wasn't in the killing business and
whose only anxiety is to get everything
out of his claim and go home with his
riches.
When one looks at the history OF
thefts in other gold fields, even those
where quar'z mining was the rule and
where the miners were watched under
the most careful systems that could
be devised, it is easy to imagine what
will happen in the Klondike next sum-
mer when the thousands of new.
corners get in working shape and force
the prices of labor down to bed rock.
Then. it is believed, petty thieving
will be the order of the day.-Iowa
