WHATCOM GOLD MINES
First Authentic News Of the
New EIdOradO.
PLENTY OF YELLOW METAL THERE
Route Is Passable to a Point Five Miles
From Discoveries, Where Great
Obstacles Are Met.

SEATTLE, Sept. 25.-The first authen-
tic news concerning Washington's new
Eldorado, near Mt. Baker, and how to
get there, with all intermediate details,
was brought to Seattle yesterday by E..
w. Saportas, president of the Informa-
ton & Registration Company, who,
with Frank Crydo and Gus Wagner, ex-
perienced miners of Dawson City, the
former having been in the Klondike FIVE
years, left for the scene of the latest ex-
citement last Saturday morning.
According to Mr.. Saportas the route
is passable, and not very difficult until
the investigator is within five miles of
the promised land, but the last five
miles present obstacles that would for
ever discourage anyone who was not an
experienced prospector and mountain
eer.
There is in Mount Baker and its sur
rounding heights enough gold, says Mr..
Saportas, to keep prospectors busy tor
the next ten years. Ali the stories of
the fabulous discoveries are corrobor-
ated. In samples of ore that were
brought back by the informant, Mr..
Bogardus, the assayer, by cursory in
spection declared that free gold existed
in exceedingly good quantities.
"I met many men," Mr.. Saportas
said, "who came from Mount Tomohoy
('Tomboy'), and they all reiterated the
stories that have been told concerning
the great strike of $4,000 to the ton,
10 in
was man named Leith, who has great
claim. Post and Lambert's claim is on
the east side. In the Tomohoy, Steiner,
Brooke and others have found ore equal
to the discovery in Bear mountain. A
man named Johnson and several others
have been there two weeks and still re-
main, locating more claims. East of
which, my people tell me, is placer gold.
There is enough yellow metal there to
occupy prospectors the next ten years.
"There are 800 people on the noun
tains now, and met sixty more going
in when 1 was returning. l believe the
mineral is as rich as has been reported,
but cannot know definitely about it
uuGll my lIleuuS rSCuEu. My ADVICE Is
not to go in now, as the rain and rough
weather are great obstacles to successful
prospecting"
A special correspondent of the Even
ing times sends more from Sumas today,
as follows:
F'The gold discoveries in the noun
tains of Whatcom county are, beyond
any doubt, the richest in the annals of
the Pacific coast, or even in Alaska. So
say the most experienced prospectors
whom L have just accompanied to the
scene of the recent finds.
''The recent finds are in the Bald
mountains, situated in the northeast
portion of Whatcom county, northward
and east of Mount Baker. The mineral
range runs northwest and southeast, and
today is located for three miles. Every
hill in the Immediate vicinity of the
finds is covered with location stakes.
At present there are $50 prospectors in
the field, running from experienced
men to Office boys, who have forsaken
their employment to try their luck in

THEY TOLD UNcANNY STORES
Some of the Weird Tales Which Were
Heard In Old Scotland.

deard In Ola scotland.
Burns tells that, in his boyish days,
he owed much to an old woman who
resided in the family, and who had, he
supposed, the largest collection in the
country of tales and songs concerning
devils, ghosts, witches, wraiths and
other such trumpery, says the Kill
marnock Standard. When I was a boy
in Girvan stories of the same kind
were plentiful wnen the talk began at
the freside in the long winter nights.
And most wildly do 1 remember the
! fearful joy with which used to listen
to them, and the speedy race home I
had mot looking over my shoulder)
when the party had broken up. Burns
says that so strong an effect had those
stories on his Imagination that even
in his later years he kept sharp look
out on suspicious places, and 7 sup
pose most of us can say the same.
Many Of the stories 1 used to hear re-
ferred to ghosts, warning knocks be-
fore death and unearthly cries proceed
ing from places where people had been
drowned or murdered. But the devil
figured largely in others. and the hole
in the rock near Lendal was pointed
to as circumstantial evidence that
could not be gainsaid, as we'll as the
circular rings on the summit of Craig
anrarie. But these stories were not
grewsome enough for some tastes, and
so for their especial delectation the
story of Culzean's burial used to be
told in full detail, and was ever lis
tened to with bated breath. Sir Archi- |
bald Kennedy of Culzean, who shot |
Gilbert McAdam at Kirkmichael, came |
himself to die. I dare say the man
may have persuaded himself that he
had done nothing more than his duty
IN shooting the covenanter, but not so
thought the peasantry of the west. And
so, after his funeral in the old college
Of Maybole, awful stories began to
spread themselves abroad 1t was af-

cot draw it, while at other times it got
