Canada Thinks Of Establishing . Yukon
Treasury.
It is understood that the Dominion
government has under consideration q
project in connection with the admins
tration Of the Yukon district which Is
novel, but appears admirably calculated
to meet the conditions existing in the
new communities Of the extreme north
west. It is the establishment Of what
might be termed treasure house, ," in
which will be stored the gold of the
miners and for which they will receive
drafts on United States or Canadian
banks of the full market value of their
gold dust.
The Importance Of such depository
in such q country as the Klondike dis
triot may readily be estimated. Under
existing conditions the task Of guarding
their gold is an arduous addition to the
labors Of the miners. 1t is expected that
this provision of what are practically
banking facilities will 60 far toward
reconciling the miners to the 10 per
cent royalty which they will have to
pay to tho government. Practically they
will be paying an income tax Of 10 per
cent for the preservation of law and or
der, the storage Of their gold and for its
safe delivery to market.
If the gold is stored in a central place
under this proposed plan, the officials
of the law will find the task of preserv-
ing order greatly simplified, for the
miners will not be under the necessity
Of carrying arms, nor will the rouRher
sort likely spend as much gold in riot
ous living. 1t will, of course. be neces-
sary for the government to take. great
precautions to insure the safety of the
gold, but the presence of 90 or 100
mounted police and three or four maxim
guns will be a great deterrent to the
envious and greedy. New York Sun.

the number Of magnificent homes that

fashion halted to take look at his
broad shoulders and many ladies were
introduced to him. Fitzsimmons re-

modestly, but with visible delight.
Many invitations to go driving and to
dine were declined by the champion on
the ground that he found 1t much pleas

any kind.
While Fitzsimmons was at Mr.. De-
pew's he met young Cornelius Vandor-

conversation. The latter afterward re-
marked to friend that he was very
agreeably surprised in Fitzsimmons;
that he was very much Of man, with

ton almost bordered upon the horrible
SeVeralGmes the men lost their way, and
often after hard days tramp they found
themselves almost at the same place frord
which they started in the morning or the
day before. Such is the nature of the
country in these high mountains that
even those familiar with the lay OF the
land are at times puzzled to know where
they are.
At lasr, when almost ready to lie down
and give up the ghost" the men met a
prospector who was searching throughout
the foothills for the precious metal and
from him they obtained food and were di-
rected to the path that LED them back to
civilization, where they divided their
treasure. One had all of California gold
hunting that ne wanted and fastened
away TO sunny France, where there are
no wild ravines infested with ferocious
animals and hunger to threaten him with
death. But the fever for gold had found
it's way into the blood of the other, who
was known by the name of Andre or
Andy" He succeeded in interesting g
several men of means and On the follow
ing spring the party started out for the
new Ell Dorado of the high Sierra. No
mining or pros pecting work can be done
during the winter time, for the snow falls
well down to the foothills.
ANDY" and his friends went to where
he thought the rich placer had been found
on the previous year, and then began a
long and weary search. Up one gulch
and down another the men hunted, but to
no purpose, for, as stated. one raxine
looks about the same as another there.
The summer passed and the food gave
out. The weary prospectors were obliged
to give up the search and return to Fresno
Andy" was not discouraged, for the next
year he went back to the hills again and
nothing was heard of him until late in the
fall.
One day wild-looking man, with long
hair and whlskers sprinkled with gray,
appeared a one of the farmhou in the
foothills in an almost famished condition.
He was muttering to himself in the
French language most of the time. and
when he did speak ir English the
people realized that their guest was
hopelessly insane. The stranger was
finally recognized as Andy" the French
prospector, and although he was we'll
cared for his mind was biank-shattered
by hardship, hunger and the disappoint-
ment of not being able to find the lost
placer mine that once made him rich. 1t
was the intention to bring him to Fresno
and have him committed to an asylum,
but the wild fellow evidently learned of
this and one morning was missing from
the farmhouse. He was nowhere to be
found.
Months passed, and one day prospect
ors found the skeleton of man in one of
the gulches away back in the foothills of
the Sierra, and the clothing clearly indi-
Gated that the unfortunate man was none
ether than Andy" who found and lost a
fortune in a placer mine. Many have
searched the hills in the hopes of finding
the lost placers, but none have been sue

day at 80 o'clock with a large load OF
passengers and freight. There were thou
sands OF spectators along the wharf and it
required the efforts of many police TO keep
back the throng of curiosity-seekers.
When the vessel at last put out cheers
rent the air for some minutes, there were
many touching farewells and handker-
chiefs were waived IN the air.
When the ship was finally loaded she
sank in the water TO the guards, but the
Government officers and others who in

that with reasonable weather there would
be no trouble whatever in towing the
