REWARDS OF THE GoLDsEEkER
Thousand Dollars and Yet 1t
Was Useless.

From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Sometimes man finds gold,'' said an old
miner who had been talking Klondike. "but
more often he finds rheumatism and back
ache and semi-starvation and misery.
There is a fascination about the pursuit.
from a love of the gambling there is in 1t.
and not that they care anything about
the pleasures that money will buy.
II remember an old fellow who lived in
Loafer's Hollow in California away back
in the COS. There was quite a camp near
him; but he did not mix with anybody. He
and never stirred from his cabin after
dark. This cabin was built on the summit
of a hill, and about 800 yards away was a
his water. He was asked often why he did
not live nearer to the water. but said that
he liked the exercise of climbing. He new
or ran after women. and as he was always
at work the boys figured that he must nave
considerable money in his hut. One night
a couple of rustlers tried to scare him out.
bad men and good men alike let him alone.
After 4 while the recluse died and about
L%cafer's Hollow and buried him.. Then
they began to look for the gold that they
Knew he must have hidden. In all the
years he had never been to the country
his dust in the bank. Among the search
eds was George Hearst. afterward 4 sem
ltOr from CaifOrnla, ana the fatner OF
the present owner of the New York Jour-
nal, then a very poor man. Hearst was a
big fellow and an expert miner. He was
more industrious than any of the rest. For
a space of three acres the ground around
the old fellows cabin was torn UP. and
even the walls were taken down and the
logs riven apart, but not a cents worth
of metal was found. The treasure seekers
finally gave it up, the yield played out in
Lcafer's Hollow. the men went elsewhere
and in a little while there wa not a sound
in the once busy camp save the harsh car
of the jaybird or the owls boot at night.
Three years afterward a boy who was
out hunting squirrels stopped at the spring
to rest. He bent his lips to the cool water
and cut his hand slightly upon some sharp,
hard substance buried at the edge of the
spring. Digging the sand away, with q
bcy's curiosity. he found that 1t was q piece
CT tin. and going deeper he found that
the tin belonged to 4 three gallon kerosene
can sunk into the ground under the edge
of the spring. Burrowing deeper he finally
locsened it and with much effort pulled it
out. 1t contained the miser'S dust. neatly
tied into half pound sacks made of raw-
hide. They were all rotten. but held to-
gether. There were forty of these sacks.
worth in round numbers SIS apiece, or
about 5000 in all. As the old miner had no
relatives that anyone had ever heard of
the boy got it all.
1T had taken the old man something like
five years of the hardest kind Of work
and the hardest kind of living to amass
that sum so you see that the rewards of
washing gold are not always excessive"
