who were thinking about going TO the
gold fields 10 the spring and who went
co him for advice, besides a large num-
Der who hunted him up for curiosity,
seemingly thinking a klondike gold
hunter was different from the ordinary
run of prospectors.
His mail TOO, has been enormous, and
he has received letters from people from
all parts OF the country. They came
from the rich and the poor. Some Of

very few letters and has accepted no
propositions in regard TO his claim on
the Yukon. He refers all who want in
formation to the newspapers, saying
that what he has seen in them has been
exactly correct and as reliable az any he
could give and beside il is more in detail,
Aercier does not like to talk about the
gold discoveries and quickly shifts the
subject when il is brought up. He has
heard nothing but Klondike since he got
back and he is heartily sick of it. Last
week he went to the iron country to visit
some friends but is expected to be back
here in a few days,
His plans for the spring he has not
divulged to any one, and be apparently
has not vet made any arrangements for
returning TO the great gold land.
There are number of Calumet people
who are talking of going to the Alaskan
gold fields next spring and one party has
already been organized. Those who
compose the party are keeping the mat
ter quiet and do not want their names
mentioned as they may change their
minds and not go. The party is com
posed of eight men who will put up $500
each for the trip. They are all sturdy
men who are now employed at work
which in the winter time is about IA hard

hardship is part OF the daily routine of
business.
They plan to 90 to Seattle in February
