was passed around accompanied with
an incrednlous smile that Tim had re-
formed. His employer had noticed
the change, but not word was spoken
to the man who seemed to be engaged
in desperate struggle with the demon
appetite.
One morning within u week of the
radical departure from his habits of
convivality, he approached his imploy.
er trembling like an autum leaf that
was with. red and ready to fall into its

He extended trembling hand and
groped for greeting palm in blind
ness caused by tears that came from a
bleeding heart. He went out in the
world to work great reform alone in
communion with nature and natures

1t was known that an estimable
maiden lady had arrived in Lewiston
before the wonderful change came
over this man. Tim had never spoken
to the lady. The outward signs of his
dlsgraceful habits caused him to shun
her. He stole away like culprit to
take self.prescribed jag cure" He
did not ask the lady to a sumo the
risk of reforming him: he could not
trust himself; so he resorted to All un.

About the year 1865 a jolly Irish man

ey down the river last fall expecting
to find employment at remunerative
wages, or at the best to acquire a
claim which would yield returns equal
to the fair average of placer mining in
other parts of the world, are now rich
beyond their most sanguine expecta-
tidhs. Men whose modest require
ments demand few thousand dollars
only to satisfy them, are in position
to live in ahluence. There are yet
others whose accumulations the past
winter will give them an income in
amount far beyond anything they ever
hoped to possess. Bonanza and Ell
dorado Creeks are the richest ever
found in the history of placer mining.
A few months drifting into the frozen
ground, few tons of sand brought
up in bucket from bedrock, then a
weeks washing of the dump when the
spring sun has melted the creek, and
what is the results? $4,000, $4,000,
$4,000 and $4,000 in gold dust.
Ore man has claim which has pro-
duced even more than the latter fg-
ure, but what it is he will not say.
Men who have had an opportunity OF
sending out to their friends, strongly
advise them to lose no time but start
for the diggings at once. There are
such large number of claims on both
creeks, and a comparatively limited
number of men to work them, that Ia
Dor will be in demand for some time
to come. This is an advantage not to
be ignored, as great many will go in
to the country expecting to find rich
claim to their hand, and of course will
be disappointed, but they will oe able
to secure work. The general rate OF
wages has been $15.a day; we under
stand that uniform rate of Sl2 day
has been agreed upon. What more
does working man want? There is
gold mine of itself. A business
which pays $l2 day clear profit is a
fair one in any part of the United
States to-day. A man at the Klon-
dyke has the additional opportunity
of starting out in quest OF a claim on
his own account at any time he desires,
and his chances of being rich are as
good as the next mans. Men of ruddy
constitution, perseverance and grit,
who are temperate and industrious,
can do we'll in the Yukon, and, it may
be, acquire comfortable competence,
even if better results are denied them.
Surely the Yukon is a marvellous
