GOLD RUSHES; PAST AND PRES
ENT.
Los Angeles Times: Those who may
feel inclined to rush down 10 Peru, on
the strength of the recent rosy reports
of wonderful gold discoveries in that
country, would do well to note that
twenty-five years ago wonderful stories
were published in the Central Ameri-
can papers about rich placers on the
head waters of the Amazon, in East
ern Peru, just about where this discov-
cry is said to be. A thousand adven-
turers from California were astonished
at landing at Callao to find that nobody
there knew anything about such mines.
A few Of these men VINO pushed on
across the Andes, at great expense
and trouble, found nothing.
The celebrated Fraser River rush of
1853 also furnishes some interesting
and significant comment on the pres
ent rush to the icy north. So great
was the rush at that time that Cali

populated 1t is estimated that within
less than four months over 23,OOO
people left the State for the new Ell
Dorado, which was six per cent of the
entire population of the State at that
time. About a third of the others
were preparing to leave when the bub-
BILE burst. AT that time placer claims
which paid SO per day to the man
were abandoned and real estate in
San Francisco was almost unstable,
it being believed that Victoria, in
British Columbia, would become the
metropolis of the coast.
Those who are rushing up to the
Klondyke gold fields would do well
to think about these things. There is
undoubtedly great mineral wealth in
that section, but it is not likely that
one out of twenty of those who go
up there to search for it will come
back richer men, although most of
them will undoubtedly acquire large
fund of pXparipnca

Coxey is talking of &C ming to Washing

that If he comes again it will not be to
petition, but to demand. Mr.. Coxey's news
paper. which he called Sound Money, has
been compelled to suspend publication. In
an editorial announcing the suspension the
editor claims that it was due to the fact
that 1.-The masses, to whom reform papers
must look for support, have become so
poor that they can no longer afford to
take the papers" In the course Of his edi-
te rial he says further:
After giving this administration and
Congress few months more grace in
which to redeem their pledges of prosperity,
which have already gone to protest, and
prosperity not appearing, it will become
necessary to again mass the unemployed
and bankrupt people at Washington, not to
petition, but to demand that they fulfill
pledges made prior to election to an out
ragged people, or else resign, as they GER
tainly have obtained their offices under
false preteLses, and many people are now
doing time for slighter promises for OBJ
tanning got DIS in like manner, as an off,
