The latest Klondike has been uncovered
in the heart OF the Sierra Madre noun
tains. Wyoming. where gold assayins
$sl.ooo to the ton has been found. 1t is
an unfortunate western state nowadays
that cannot discover to the eyes OF .
startled world q genuine Eldorado. 1t Is
strange how ready the unsophisttcaeed
public h to be gulled by assays. 1t APP
pears to do no good &c repeat over and
over that no dependence can be placed on
assays. They are invariably made from
picked specimens. and are not true tes:
Of the average character OF ore. They
show only the presence Of geld or other
precious metal which may or may not
exist in paying quantities. The chances
are that the crowd which PUSHES into the
Wyoming Klondike will rush out again
as fast as 1t can.

Now II the Time to Build.
Seattle Argus.

Houses in Seattle are scarce, and are
becoming more so every day. There is but
one remedy, and that Is TO build more
houses The price of material has as yet
advanced slightly. and there is plenty of
labor to be had. Now is the time to build.
Before another six months roll around
people win be leasing houses first and
building them afterwards. This will re-
suit in higher prices for labor. higher
prices for material and poor construction.
Wake up. IL you start to build now you
can rent your houses as soon as they are
completed. There should by this time be
two or three hundred houses in course OF
construction in Seattle instead OF only
forty or fifty.

OF course. it depends on the point OF
view as to whether the establishment OF
another large mercantile house in Seattle
Is a good thing: but no one will be disposed
to dispute that it Is an evidence OF
faith in Seattle and Seattle's business
future on the part Of men Of means.
There are substantial evidences that See
attic is prosperous. We know that the
volume Of business has been heavily IN
creased and We know that the general
tone OF things is vastly improved. But it
is not well to discount too much Seattles
future. Experience has given valuable
lesson which all citizens will be wise to
heed. Seattle's present most concerns Us
all. Let us look carefully after the pres
ent, and the future will look out for itself.

WONDERS OF THE KLOxDIKE.

WOSOEhs Or HE hLONDAAE.
OF all the many columns which have
been written concerning the Klondike
district and its product, nothing will
compare In clearness with that pub
lished in yesterday mornings Post-In-
telligencer.
The description OF the city Is the
first that has ever been given, and ev-
cry sentence seems to respond to the
questions which have naturally been
asked or which would suggest them
selves to the average reader. The
same may be said OF the detailed de-
scription of the claims on the three
now famous creeks. Every writer has
dealt with a few well-known stories,
and they have been repeated and multi
piled, although manifestly all referring
to the same few claims. The CORE
spondent of the Post-Intelligencer fol-
lows every claim and gives in detail
the story of each.
The riches OF the Klondike are now
presented for the first time in figures
which can be assailed ii they are incor-
rect. These are not rumors or esti-
mates, but facts gathered on the spot
by a man whose business is not to
boom properties, but to ascertain the
truth and present it to the public
through these columns. The conclusion
to be drawn from the statements made
Is only confirmation of the conviction
already formed that one of the most
wonderful gold-bearing districts In The
world has just been opened up.

More Elevators Needed.

Seattle is in fair way to have another

porting firms will make no mistake in
providing themselves with such facilities

suitable locations. The grain acreage OF
this state is bound to increase with the
population. growing foreign demand and
less cost OF delivering the grain at tide

Finding Coin In Delaware.

The finding of a considerable quaint
nv of cold coin OH the old Potter farm
about three miles from Wilmington,
Del. has caused considerable excitement
among the residents of Mckee's Hill.
A colored man was at work in meadow
on the farm when his shovel turned up
a piece of yellow metal, which, upon
examination, proved to be S2O gold
niece. Although excited, the man Kept
ON digging until he had unearthed sew
eral more golden coins. Then John
Banks and George Clymer, seeing his
antics, thought he had gone stark mad
and went over to the field where he was
digging. They also were amazed at the
discovery of gold, and the three men
were rewarded by finding about ,OOo
in GOLD. The money was chiefly III de-
nominations of So and $40 and gave ev-
idence of excellent preservation. Inc
fact that the coins bore dates ranging
from 1880 to 1850 led some to believe
that the farm laborers had discovered
one of the places where John Hare the
noted biphwayman and robber, secreted
his ill gotten gains years ago. Hare ior
many years was the terror OF the nelgh-
borhood. 1t was frequent occurrence
for him to hold up men on the roaos
leading TO and from Wilmington and re-
lieye them of their money and vaiu-
ables. IN. j. Courier

DRIVING A DOG TEAM.
fiyng Over the SHOWS OF Northern Can
ada In Rubber skins.

Well, here we are down on the ice,
and the dogs inpatient to start Let me
describe. The sled consists of mar
row box four feet long, the front half be-
ing covered or boxed in, mounted on
hoor eigat feet long resting on runners.
In this box the passenger sits, wrapped
IN rabbit skins so that he can hardly
move, his head and shoulders only pro-
Jecting. In front and behind and on top
OF the box is placed all the luggage,
covered with canvas and securely lash
ed to Withstand all the jolting and pos
sible upsets, and our snowshoes are
within easy reach.
An important item is the dog whip,
terrible to the dog if used by skillful
hand and terrible to the user if he be
novice, for he is sure to half strangle
himself or TO hurt his own face with the
business end of the lash. The whip
/ measured had a handle 0 inches long
and lash 30 feet and weighed pounds.
The lash was of folded and plated seal
| hide and for feet from the handle
measured inches round; then for IA
feet it gradually tapered off, ending in
a single thong half an inch thick and
l. feet long Wonderful the dexterity
with which driver can pick out dog
and almost spot on dog, with this
lash! The lash must be trailing at full
length behind, when jerk and turn of
the wrist cause it to fly forward, the
thick part first and the tapering end
continuing the motion till it ia at full
length in front, and the lash making
the fur fly from the victim. But often
it is made to crack over the heads of the
dogs as a warning.
The IL dogs were harnessed to the
front of the sled, each by separate
thong of seal hide, all of different
lengths, fastened to light canvas har
ness. The nearest dog was about j fee
from the sled and the leader, with bells
Oh her, about 90 feet, the thongs thu
increasing in length by about feet
When the thong is good, the dogs spread
out like the fingers of hand, but whei

they continually cross and recross eacl

almost up to the rearmost dog, when
halt is called, the dogs are made to Ii
