The conscientious delineators of illustra-
tons for the first pages of the eastern
press met a severe trial in the story of
the Klondike miner with five coal oil cans
full of gold dust The square can used for
the Pacific coast trade is unknown at
the east, and consequently We see graphic
pictures of miners carrying laborfousiy
about the small, round kitchen utensil,
with which the hired girls of the states
have long started fires and reduced sur
plus population. Not to know the headless
coal oil can of this coast, with a bail in
serted for transportation purposes. is to
have missed one of the proudest triumphs
Of western civilization.
