TO CLAIM KLONDYKE.
Phase OF tho Now Gold
Discoveries In Alaska.
WI Arl<ell, OF New York City, Claims
Ownership by Right of Discov-
cry OF E. J. GIave in
1890.

w. j. Arkell, of the Arkell Weekly
company, of New York city, has an
nounced that he expected to claim the
gold fields in the Klondyke district by
right of discovery for the estate of L.
j. Glave. This is the latest and most
interesting phase of the excitement
prevailing in New York city over the
recent discovery in the far north.
Glave was the explorer who headed the
expedition to Alaska in 1S90-91, organ
lied by w. j. Arkell, of Leslie's Week
ly. The party consisted of Glave, b.
II. Wells, of Cincinnati; A. b. Sham, of
Indiana Mineral Springs, Ind, and p.
d. Pierce. and John Dalton, of San
Francisco. Thirty Ch1kat Indians
were also with the party.
After the return of Glave and his
party from the frozen north, the ex-
plorer was sent by tho Century COM
pany to Africa to study the slave trade
He lived among the natives for some
time and on accomplishing his work
returned to the coast. When about to
sail for the United States he contracted
fever which resulted in his death.
Before leaving for Africa Glave told
Mr.. Arkell that he had staked out
claims in the Klondyke district and
that on his return he intended to go
again to Alaska and spend the remain
der of his life there, for he believed it
to be the richest country in mineral
deposits on the face of the globe.
Mr.. Arkell said that as he started
this sustained expedition he believes
he has claim by right of discovery to
the Klondyle territory. and if he sue
cccds In establishing his claim it will
be on the theory that where maps are
filed with the government by the dis
coverers of undiscovered" countries, rs
wns done in this case, 1t gives the OK
plorer certain interests that, might de-
vclop Mr.. Arkell said that he hadlrc-
ceived kilograms from Schanz and
! Wells, two members of the first expesii-
ton to Alaska, claiming their interests
in the event the government should
recognize their right by discovery.
Mr.. Arkell proposes to organize an ex-
petition ut once to the territory discov-
cred and explored by Glave and party.
This expedition will be headed by Mr..
Arkell's brother, Bartlett Arleell, who
will be accompanied by his brother
in-law, Harry p. Hall, of Pittsburgh,
and n number of newspaper men.

A Type of the True American

Indeed, the civil engineer seems
to me typical of the highest Amer
icanism in many ways. He is for
ever making the best of newnesses
and roughnesses and crudities,
while planning something better
to take their place; one hour he is
occupied with elusive problems of
big financiering and ihdeterminate
estimates of probable travel and
possible commercial development
the next he may be running a
compound curve between two fix
ed tangents and experiencing an
exquisite, satisfaction rs his verti-
cal hair bisects the rod and his
vernier reads absolutely true.
What would be the ideal line i'm
some cases would be absolutely
ruinvus in others. and all the min
utie of location must DO conside-
red with an omnipresent realiza-
ton of what the future possibili-
ties of this particular road may
be, as we'll as what are the finan-
cial possibilities of its promoters.
The cheapest line in some regions
would be dear indeed, whereas in
unsettled and barren districts the
first cost must usually be mini
mized. There cannot be many
professions which combine such
large and comprehensive views
with such infinitesimal niceties Of
detail. From Lewis Muhlenberg
