Esnecfal Letter j

Within the past feW@weeks the news
papers have been publishing wonderful
stories of the lucky miners in the gold
fields of the Yukon river, and all over
the United States and Canada mems
minds are stirred with the golden
possibilities It has long been known
to prospecting geologists that the
streams tributary to the Yukon, and in
some places the great river itself,
wandered Ger sands of gold," but it
is within the past few. weeks that the
discoveries have been made that have
turned the eyes Of the people thither.
Some of the stories read like tales from
fairyland. One man, for instance, who
went to the Rlondyke last winter from
Michigan, and who lived for months in
hole in the ground, suffering great
privations from the terrible cold and
half starved, had almost decided that
there was no gold in Alaska, s.when one
day, after 20-mile tramp, he came
upon little stream" to quote his own
words, (which emptied into a sort of
basin. The water was clear and the
grayelly bottom was covered with mug

icy stream and picked up all the gold

us who wouldn't endure very icy water
for such a prize.l That was the begin
ming of his luck, and when he re-
turned to his home in Michigan two
weeks ago lie had deposit check for

ly hard to bear. But, well provided in
the matter of clothing, with plenty Of
food (for one ought to and generally
does have a yoraeious appetite in the
Arctic regions), there is no reason why
a healthy man, not too old, should not
stand the Alaskan winter or even be-
come aeclin1ated. Apart from the rea-
sonable prospect of success in working
a claim the novelty of hyperborean ex-
istence is not without its charms, and
ii is said that those who have become
accustomed to living within the frisid
zone find that life in the temperate re-
gions is not as comfortable.
Alaska has summer, short, close.

have tried both say that they prefer

The Yukon is one of the greatest
rivers in the world and is said to be
longer than the Mississippi. While il
has not been thoroughly explored 50
far it is known to be nayigable for large
steamers for at least $500 miles. The
Yukon and its numerous tributaries
swarm with fish. no finer salmon in the
world than the Alaska variety. and in
the dead of winter one has only to pick
a hole in the icy covering Of rivers or
lakes to get an abundance Of good
large fish. Beside fish the miner and
traveller can often get shot at moose

tinued reappointing Mr.. Brent until
1912, when he declined to serve longer
because of his ineumbency Of other po-
sitions. He was mayor of Washington
for ten years, judge of the orphans
court from 1906 to 1914 and paymas-
ter general Of the army from 1908 to
1919.
Manifestly President Jefferson made
no mistake in selecting the first mayor
OF Washington city. He was reappoint-
ed by successive presidents until other
official duties of Importance compelled
him to withdraw from the office. He
succeeded Gen. Dearborn as paymaster
general at critical period and full
filled the functions of that office to the
satisfaction of three presidents.
During Mayor Brent's administration
/ the city market was established, where
1t stands until this day. An ordinance
was passed requiring the maintenance
of leather fire buckets filled with water

and maintenance Of public wells for

Japanese Alloys.

The Japanese are noted for their
metal work, and efforts have been
made to discover the secret of the alloys
of which much of their finest work is
made. The following istherefore inter-
esting, the secret having been divuiged
by workmen who are familiar with such
alloys. The s'shadko" is an alloy OF
copper and from one to ten per cent. OF
gold, the object being placed in NOR
dant of sulphur, of copper, alum and
verdigris until they have assumed the
coppered or blue-black hue Of sword
sheaths and decorative articles. An
other Of these is 'tgni-shi-bu-ichi, a
copper alloy with 80 or so per cent. of
silver of the well-known gray color.
What is called 'moku1ne" is a conn
pound of several alloys. About 30
plates of foils of gold, shadllo, copper,
silver and the last mentioned alloy are
soldered together, holes are made, the
plate hammered out, and put in the
1nordant The finest japanese brass
'ssuiehu'' consists of ten parts copper
and five of zinc, and of bell metals the
ikaralkanen is made Of ten parts of
copper, four of tin, one4haf iron, one
ana one-half zinc, the copper being
melted first, and, the other metals added

didn't have money enough TO pay his
house rent" and went to Alaska. he
returned July IS with $4,000 in gold
nuggets.
Still another notable case was that
of man so years old, poor and with
family of seven children. That was
was one year age. He left his home
in Seattle, and when he came back ne
had 100000 in his pockets and had
mining property worth over 81 100000.
There are dozens Of such examples oil
luck, but we have no room to more
than hint at the case of the poor sWede
who went to the gold fields two years
ago. He returned this summer with
s65, 900 in gold and sold an interest IN
his claim for $4,000.
But are these true stories? the reader
may ask. The answer is to be found
in the fact that the United States as
say office at Helena, Mont, received
nearly $4,000 ounces of gold by the
steamer from klondyke, and there are
other assay Offices.
1t must not be supposed that every
nan who goes to the Klondyke IS as
fortunate as the examples quoted. Froal
time to time we read the walls of the
unlucky ones in the paper, who, nat
uraIly, advise others not to go to
Alaska.
And now a brief description of the
new Ell Dorado will be in order. The
greatest discoveries nave been made isi
the streams flowing from the east into
the Yukon. They are all in British ter
ritory, in that vast region marked on
the map as Northwest Territory 2
which is one of the provinces Of the
dominion of Canada. Sc, while they are
aften spoken of as the Alaska gold
fields. as matter of fact all the rich
placer mines about which the sensa-
fianal stories are told are not in Alas
ka. but just across the border in John
Bulls domain. The one hundred and
