Worth $3.50.
Every source of news from Alaska add
daily to the wonderful tale of gold finding at
the Klondike River. The latest detailed In.
telligcnce Is contained In the alaska Searchlight
and the Alaska Miner, both printed ut Juneau
and dated July 3. They tell tho story of the
last "trip Of. Mail Carrier Jack Hayes, who ar
rived at Juneau during the week prior to July
3 with mails from Forty Mile and Circle City
on tho Yukon River. He carried In forty
fou- pounds Of mail and brought out thirty
pounds. and the round trip took moro than five
months to complete.
Hayes left Juneau on Jan. IA and arrived at
Klondike about the middle of March. Tho
news of the great find of gold had already
spread to the other mining regions. and. az he
passed beyond Klondike to Forty Milo and Circle
City, he found a good trail which had been
made by the miners who had hocked into tho
new diggings from the older settlements.
Forty Mile was nearly deserted, and at Cir
Gle City only about 500 men were working.
The rest had gone to Klondike.
Hayes set out on his return on March "a.
1t was not until he was well on his way back
that he heard details OF the real richness of the
new gold fields. All winter tho miners had
been digging out frozen dirt and piling It I'D
waiting for the summer gun to thaw 1t and to
furnish water Tor washing IL out. With melted
snow a few panfnls of dirt had been washed.
and this had proved the general richness of the
diggings. In March the Thermometer showed
from De TO IL below zero.
While polling a boat up the Polly River, Hayes
met the hrst OF the ingoing rush OF miners on
their way from tho coast 10 the Klondike. In one
day he passed nifty boats going down with the
current TO- the gold fields. and he estimate that
he met altogether 1900 men going into tho
country.
Many Of the miners who had been at work
plling up dust all winter were selling out on the
basis OF the gold that was actually In sight In
heir dust heaps. and were coming out.
Charles Clemens and Frank Summers, two
tenderfeet from Los Angeles, went into the
Yukon a year ago. without having had any
previous. experience. After Planning out 81, 600
worth of gold, Clemens sold his share Of their
claim for no, 600. and tTo weeks later Summers
sold his share for $780, 900. Ono nugget taken

THE GRAVEYARD OF EUROPEANS.
a Dismal Quarter of an Old Dutch
Colony.

No Europeans live at Tandjon Prick
nor in the old city of Batavia, which
from the frightful mortality during
two centuries was known as the
graveyard of Europeans" The banks
and business houses, the Chinese and
Arab quarters, are in the "old town."
but Europeans desert the quarter be-
fore. shutdown and betake themselves
to the new town" suburbs, where
every house is in park of its own,
and the avenues are broad and
straight, and all the distances are
magnificent. The city of Batavia, lit
orally fair meadows" grandiloquent-
ly 1.-The Queen of the East" and with
out eXaggeration ''the gridiron of the
East" dates from 1921, when the old
Dutch removed from Bantam, where
quarrels between Portuguese, Japa-
nese and the East India Company had
been disturbing to trade for fifteen
years. and built Fort Jacatra at the
mouth of river off which u cluster
of islands sheltered fine yharbor.
Its position in the midst of swamps
was unhealthy, and the mortality was
so appalling as to seem incredible.
Dutch records tell of $1,000 soldiers
and sailors dying in the Government
hospital between 1714 and 1776. and
that more than 100000 people died
within the city walls between 1890 and
/ 1862, 'the place at no time claiming
over 10000 inha bitants all told. The
people were long in learning that all
