HATS ARE DIMINISHING.
This Information Comes from Paris,
Where the Big Hat Reigns.

Hats, so far, have much diminished
in size, and have a tendency to cover
but a bit of the head and the brim
to be TUNED upward and form a part
OF the crowns trimming, as it were,
with an interval filled in with feathers,
aigrettes and lace. The upward bent
brim is at times slit at the sides and
feathers protrude from the opening
and fall upon the waved hair Often
times in the back a tuft of feathers
is arranged to gracefully trim both
sides of the hack knot.
Crowns of velvet and other soft fall
ing stuffs are made in the most varied
shapes. There is the round, smooth
beret, which, inclined on one side, falls
gracefully on the hair, and on the
other a marrow brim upward bent al
lows space for a high aigrette fastened
with a large fancy pin or buckle.
There is the high crown made with
soft material bent, folded and crooked,
which is enlarged into a broad band
of jet or stiff passementerie studded
with stones. The brim of this hat is
pointed front and back, then raised
somewhat and trimmed on both sides
with aigrettes and punches of feathers.
Whatever trimming there be on hats
it must lie in separate tufts, not united
with intermediate garnitures. Be they
soft or stiff the crowns must resemble
somewhat those of mems hats. Coming
events cast their shadows before; this
may be an attempt at the unity Of
dress. Women are fast asserting their
rights and they may want now to
demonstrate the fact by copying mems
clothes.
The vogue which the Tyrolean hat IS
verify the foregoing assertion. At all
the modistes one sees long arrays of
Tyrolean hats of soft felt in all dark
colors, made to match the cloth to be
worn for street and wheeling suits.
The crowns are deeply dented and the
rooster's feathers, full and long, droop-
ing gracefully over brim and crown.
Those who have an emblem or a coat
of arms have them in oxidized silver
and fastened at the stem of the feath
ers. These Tyrolean hats are some
what smaller than those worn in past
seasons; they allow the waves of the
hair to show; but they are Put on for
ward, like a mans hat, and in the
street young girls partly cover them
with black or white veil.

Good by, Miggles!' and Jack

over cost. 1t is not without the range
of probability at all that in this way a
quick fortune may be acquired for
each member of the company the
very first season. If not the first,
then probably the next season.
1t may be we'll to explain here that
the winter season is the only time to
prospect in the Yukon country A
man may find good colors of gold any
where at any season of the year; and
in exceptionally shallow ground,
where the sun melts the dirt down to
bedrock, he may be able to thoroughly
prospect and work his claim in the
summer. But the richest claims are
where the bedrock is from twenty to
thirty feet deep. The dirt never thaws
deeper than three or four feet. This
thawing of the surface in the
summer season fills the mining
shafts and drifts with water and caves
in their sides, and all underground
work must then be suspended. So
that all thorough prospecting and
opening of claims must be carried on
in the winter, when the ground is
frozen down to bedrock. Shafts are
sunk by burning the ground, and
when bedrock is thus reached drifts
and tunnels are run in on the pay
streak and the pay dirt hoisted to the
surface and emptied on the dumps to
await the thaws of the next summer,
when it is sluiced. Thus in a few
weeks of summer hundreds of thou
sands of dollars are washed out as the
result of the long winters work I'M
derground.
The Yukon is not clear of ice be-
fore the latter part of June or first of
July, and it is then that the rush of
men with money to invest will begin

tinguished, while at the same time his
interest in the prosperity of the COM
pany will be appealed to by the reali
cation of the fact that, while he may
not individually make a rich strike,
some other member of the company
may do so and ne thus secure share
in the general prosperity.
1t is the intention to take in say ten
dog teams with 80 sleds, each team (of
six dogs and one man) hauling three
sleds, one trailing behind another.
Each team will thus haul 1000
to 1907 pounds, and the ten
teams sixteen to eighteen thousand
pounds of provisions. There must be
one man to each team and one man
extra, making eleven altogether, the
remaining SIX men not necessarily
holding stock, but probably being hired
hands.
By starting from Dyea- about Jan
uary LIST, the party will be able to reach
Dawson between the middle and last
of February. at the time when the
miners who are now Just beginning to
open up the claims located last sum-
mer will be learning what is in the
ground.
Provisions being very scarce in the
mines this winter, there will be fine
opportunity to dispose of the supplies
carried in by the teams, either for
cash at great profit over cost, or for
interests in mines held by persons
who are short on provisions but long
on gold, or for options on rich claims.
The money carried in will be used Tor
this purpose also. when opportunity
offers to get hold Of good ground

shares of the stock. Each of the four
members of the company who accom-
papies him on the trip pays $1,000 in
cash for his shares, the remaining
$4,000 being also offset by services to
be rendered on the trip and in the
mines-prospecting, mining, and
otherwise serving the company for two
years. When it is remembered that
ordinary wages of the mixers are SIS
per day, it will be seen that the men
composing the working contingent of
the company are not simply Hafter a
job" as they could by working for reg
ular wages anywhere in the mines
make double the amount at which
their services are valued by the COM
pany in issuing to them their shares
The remaining 5000 of stock is
to be subscribed by parties who will
not make the trip, but who desire to
invest in the shares of the company
and thus reap a part of the golden
harvest. The $1,000 cash paid by each
of the four men accompanying the
expedition will be sufficient to outfit
themselves and Davis for the two
years, while the $25, 900 realized from
the sale of the balance of the stock
will be used partly to purchase large
supply of provisions and the necessary
dog teams to haul them, while a very
considerable portion will be re-
served in money to carry along to the
mines. Each of the five members of
the company who makes the trip will
be bound by the constitution and by
laws to turn over to the company one
half of all mining property he may
acquire by discovery or otherwise, the
other half being held as his individual
private property. Thus the self-in-
terest of the individual wi not be ex-

to reach Dawson. Thus par ty going
in early, so as to reach the mines 10y
March LIST, has full four months in
which to prospect and develop new
ground and acquire good property by
purchase or on options and have it
ready for sale to investors when the
rush takes place. If the company
should prefer to work its properties
rather than sell, it would thus also be
able to take out Il good portion Of the
gold before the thaws begin to run the
miners out of their drifts.
Another feature of the company, and
the one which may possibly turn out
to be the most profitable one, is this ::
Mr. Davis owns half in terest in claim
No. 30 above discovery on Last Chance
creek in Hunker mining district.
This claim was located in June last,
and it was impossible to open and
work it during the summer. In August
the trading companies refused to take
any more orders for supplies, and
those who had not laid in their years
provisions were confronted with the
alternative of getting TO the outside
world and carrying in supplies or of
remaining in the mines this winter
and running the risk of starvation.
This determined Mr.. Davis to come
out for provisions, leaving his partner
in charge of the claim. When he left
Dawson on August Goth no work had
been done on this claim and no one
could tell what it was worth. As high
as 800 to the pan has been found on
Hunker creek. Last Chance is one of

...THE...
FL Paso Yukon Company.
An FL PasO Organization to Explore the
Yukon Gold Fields.
600


For several weeks past those of Ell
PasO's citizens who are interested IN
everything pertaining to the Golden
Klondike have been quietly discussing
the organization of an Ell Paso com
pany to exploit the frozen north. Sew
eral meetings have been held and a
plan of organization has finally been
matured which seems to be well cal
culated to satisfy the desire of those
people who can not make the trip into
the gold fields. but who would never
tbeless like to make some Investment
there. The HERALD has been at some
pains to get at the inside facts OF the
organization and has obtained from
Mr.. S. H. Newman and those asso-
ciated with him complete outline OF
the manner in which the company is
organized, and the methods by which
it is proposed to get into the mines,
secure properties there, and transfer
from them to the Golfers OF the COM
pany the wealth they contain.
The name of the company Is The
Ell Paso Yukon Company. OF Mr..
Newman, the prime mover in the or
ganization, it is needless to speak
further than to point to the fact that
for ten years he has managed the bust
ness of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company of New York, in this city.
rising by successive steps from the
position of solicitor of the company
to that of general agent. He is an
old miner and prospector, having
passed three years in the Moreno gold
nlacers of northern New Mexico in
IS66-69 and having been interested in
silver mining for several years in the
Organ Mountains of Dola Ana coun-
ty of that Territory.
From Mr.. Newman We learn the
following facts about Mr.. William Ell.
Davis, who has been interested in the
company and who is depended upon
to conduct party across Chilkoot
Pass and over the ice and snow be-
vond to Dawson City this winter.
He was a resident of Tucson, Arl-
IONA, until the month of April, 1896,
when he resigned his position as as
sistant engineer in the employ OF the
Southern Pacific railroad company to
look for his fortune in Alaska. He is
we'll and favorably known in railroad
circles in this city and in Arizona and
carries letters of the highest recon-
mendation from the railroad company
and others with whom he has been
connected in various business capaci-
ties. His actions, manners, CONVERSE
ton, and general appearance impress
one with thorough belief in his hon
esty of purpose, his peculiar fitness
for the position he is to occupy in the
company now organizing, and his gen
eral intelligence and genuine good ma
ture. There are no frills about him !;
but he is just plain, straightforward,
honest, upassuming frontiersman-
the very man to explore the frozen
north and do battle with glaciers and
snow fields and force them to give up

their hidden wealth of gold. Thirty
two years old, six feet tall, and weigh
ing 100 pounds, he is the picture of
robust health and an epitome of in
domitable determination. One might
pick from among the thousands who
have braved the terrors of the Arctic
cline and not find man better fitted
for the task Mr.. Davis has imposed
upon himself. 1t was of such men
that the expeditions under Greeley,
Nansen and Schwatka were composed
men who feared nothing, complained
of nothing, yet hoped for everything.
Such men have been the pioneers of
the west, who have hewed out an en-
pire where the rugged Rocky Noun
tains and the Great American Desert
stretched their barriers out against
the march of civilization and seemed
to proclaim "thus far and no farther
shall man subdue the earth"
The plan is that of a stock COM
pany, with a capital of $4,000, which
may be Increased if considered advis-
able. One half of the stock is SUBJ
scr1bed by Mr.. Newman, Mr.. Davis
and three other persons who are to
make the trip this winter to Dawson
City, each of these five persons own
ing stock to the amount of $4,000. that
OF Davis being paid for by services to
be rendered, in conducting the party
to the mines and for two years after
reaching them; his experience in the
mines and with dog teams and pack
trains, his knowledge of the country,
and his ability to superintend the
transportation en- route making his
Eervlces u complete equivalent for his
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1897-11-30

cheap; and such opportunities are of
constant occurrence in all mining
camps.
Arriving at the mines the entire
party will engage in prospecting; and
when good pay ground is discovered
claims will be located for each MEM
Der, onehalf of each claim becoming
company property. Thus by discov-
cry and location, or by purchase at a
low figure, or by securing options for
a few months on paying down a GER
tain sum, or in other legitimate ways,
it is expected that the company will
be able, before the rush of next sum-
mer begins, to acquire valuable prop
critics, which can be sold to the incom
ing capitalists at enormous profits
