Money Enough.

General Bufield discussing the gold
discoveries in Alaska, says:
''If 1 were young man." he said, 81
should get about a seventy-fve ton
schooner at Seattle, take supplies and
engage the services of first-class pros
pector. Then should cruise along che
southeastern part of Alaska, in what is
called Alexander archipelago. There
are a number of islands there and more
gold lodes than at any place with which
I am acquainted. The mining would
not be 'placers,' but the ore can be got
ten out very cheaply and being directly
on the sea, the transportation amounts
almost TO nothing, except the time
spent"
The general overlooks the efact that a
young man with money enough to buy
seventy-tive ton schooner, hire first
class prospectors and carry out his sug-
gestions, has money enough and does not
need to go to Klondike.
