From Mine to Mint.

After being closed since July II the
United States Mint was opened early yes
terday morning by the new Superineen-
dent, Frank A. Leach. Among the early
callers were a n UNI Der of Klondyke miners,
who were DESTROYS OF having their gold
dust and nuggets from the far north con-
verted into the coin of the realm. Many
OF these were young men who have so far
escaped public notice. but who neverthe-
less have made their fortunes along the
Yukon and its tributaries.
Nearly all of these had their gold de-
posted with Well. Fargo 81 Co. for safe
keeping until the Mint opened, and their
hrst move after breakfast was to remove it
10 the receiving department of the Mint.
There they stood in line and emptied their
treasure out of the buckskin bags upon
trays, which were weighed by Major
Maggie. who placed it in registered recep-
tacles to be assayed. Among those who
took their gold TO the Mint were Thomas
J. Kelly, N. E. Pickett Joseph Desroches,
Thomas Meyer and Nj. Mercie. They say
that there are still others who will take
their gold there as soon as tue rush is
over.
The miners at the Commercial Hotel,
VINO arrived here on the steamer Portland,
yesterday took their gold to the Mint to
have it made into coin. There was maybe
as much as $500, coo it, butnobody know s
exactly. 1t was taken from the Safe De-
post building, where it had been placed
Tor safekeeping, and carted over to Uncle
Sans big building on Fifth street.
Inc miners who owned the gold were N.

Alaska Pioneers; Joe Crazolais r. Mer-

miners OF many years experience. They
are pound for the Klondyke, and will
leave Saturday or Sunday on the steamer
South Coast. With them will go about
forty other miners from various parts Of
the country.
I'VE have excellent outfits. and are not
at all afraid OF the hardships nor the
cold" said Mr.. Meehan last night.
There is pretty cold weather in Nevada,
since it sometimes goes down as low as 40
degrees below zero.
1--WE have been working, too, down IN
the Comstock mines, where it is so hot
that every stitch of clothes you have is
off, and you work as naked as the day you
were born. Men who can stand thi,
ought to some extent be prepared for the
peculiar weather of the ukon.
''In all probability we will be gone at
least two years. The reason we are going
in now is that we will have at least a
month to prospect that we would not have
If we remained here and did not start till
spring. Oar outfits are as good as we can
buy, and we are satisfied we can get along

OF Tuolumne County, are going, They

Useful and Ornamental.

Fancy and utility should go hand in
hand, but there are some fancy"
breeds that are not suitable for the
farmers as are others, and it is posi-
BILE that extraordinary claims are
made that are not strictly true, not
with the object of deception on the
part of the breeder but because the
conditions requisite for the success of
the breed are not considered in detail.
The breeder never overlooks the
beauty of plumage of the breed. He
endeavors to combine pleasure with
profit, but frequently permits the
color of plumage to overbalance de-
fects in other respects. The Polish
fowl is regarded as one of the most
beautiful known, especially the white
crested black variety, which has been
has the reputation of being non
sitter and during the warm season
cannot be excelled as an egg-produc-
ing breed. Indeed, any person who
admires a fancy fowl will give the
Polish a high position. It's white
crest and brilliant black plumage
make contrast to be admired, but
the next consideration is will the
Polish prove a profitable fowl for the
farmer. AS market or table fowl it
does not rank very high, and the hens
have no reputation of superiority as
winter layers. Their white crests
easily become water soaked during
rains, thus rendering them liable to
distractions to the chicks, preventing
them from discovering hawks. These
drawbacks are such as would not be
breeds, if fancy fowl was desired,
yet they are not very important from
the ultilitarian standpoint. The char
acteristics of the breed should always
be considered. Even the Plymouth
Rocks, which are popular and regard
ed as hardy, will sometimes cause dis
appointment if the flock is not well
