When ''Pardner" Differs From Partner.
Don't Go to Klondike Without One.

Don't Go to Klondike Without One.
St Louis Globe D emocrat.
No one should venture to set out Tor the
Alaska diggings without q good pardner
The word must not be confounded with part
ner. Partner has q smart, business-like
sound. 1t is precisely defined by law, and
though it may by courtesy involve something
of special favor its equities at last rest upon
the decisions of courts without regard to sem
timent But a pardner glories in sentiment.
He expects to give his mate all that the law
requires and call that only q beginning. Men
may BE- chums in easy, prosperous times, but
it is not until they pass together through a
can become pardners. Congeniallty and i'm.
plicit confidence are at the base OF a pardner-
ship; and for better or for worse the two men
stand as one under all yiciissitudes, doubling
failures. II one falls by the way the other
gives him more than the devotion OF q
brother.
Gold mining eventually is a business con-
Quoted by large capital. but placer diggings
afford all opening TO any one who can stake
and work claim. The two pardners begin
operations on the ground floor, share their
discoveries, tent together and cook for each
other. Their qualities and traits are compile
mentary. Pardners are closer than mess
mates il the army or navy. The soldier or
sailor is under the care OF bountifui pro-
wider. His food, clothes and shelter are fur
nished by the Government, and his comings
and goings are regulated by orders. Pardners
on the other hand, must skirmish together
from the start for subsistence and plans OF
operation. They fight the battle OF life for
two under hazardous conditions, far from
families and friends, satisfied, for the time be-
ing, with bare uecessarles. Under such a test,
pardners are forged as steel is forged.
The literature of California Is full OF the
pardner atmosphere. Bret Harte's tales would
be tame without it. But pardners in that
State, except as gray beard survivors, are
scarce now. They will be revived in Alaska
and experience far greater trials than they
ever knew In our first Pacific commonwealth.
Freezing and starvation were unknown in
California. It is not likely that the mining
camps In Alaska will permit any one to starye,
but they have regulation for shipping those
lacking means or resources out of the country:
In a community Of pardners q high sense OF
general humanity will prevail, but there must
be prudence as to feeding drones during the
long season when the lines Of supply are
interrupted. Alaska will furnish a great
growth OF friendship. with the .pardner as its
TOP flower. No man can utterly fail there who
has good pardner and is one Among The

COUNTRY WITHOUT RAILROAD.

RAILWAY Age
To railway builders out of work Alaska
offers great if not an inviting field. With
territory ten times as large as New York State,
it has not mile OF steam road, or any other
kind of road. Thousands of citizens OF the
United States are ready TO emigrate thither
long enough TO pick up what gold they
want, and YET our Government has not
built single railway for their accommoda-
tion. The only transportion line into the gold
helds is owned by selfish capitalists, non-resi-
dents at that. who expect 10 make profit
out of the INDECENT gold-seeker.

LUMINOUS PAINT-C. f. s., Moro, San Luis
Obispo County, Cal. The following is the
basis of luminous paints: Zanzibar or Kauri
copsl is melted over a charcoal fire. Fifteen
parts OF the melt is dissolved in sixty parts of
oil of turpentine and the solution, filtered is
mixed with twenty-five parts of previously
heated and cooled pure linseed oil. The var
nish thus obtained is used in the manufacture
of luminous paints by grinding between gran
ite rolls in paint mill. Iron rolls are not
used because the particles OF iron which are
liable to become detached would injure the
luminous properties.
pure white luminous paint is prepared by
mixing forty parts of the varnish obtained in
the above described process with six parts of
prepared barium sulphate, six parts OF pre-
pared calcium carbonate, twelve parts of pre-
pared white zinc sulphide and thirty-six
parts of prepared white sulphide in a proper
emulsion and then grinding it very fine in
color mill.
There other luminous paints, including
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, gray and yel-
lowish brown in which various coloring in
gradients are used.
