"Old miners declared that the north side of

been found and 300 miners started for that

HOW GOLD IS MINED.
The Shortness of the Season and the of the
Soil Limit Work to the Placer System

Special Correspondence of the Globe
SEATTLE, Wash, Aug Ito only a
comparatively small number of the
emigrants f1ocking to the Klondyke are
the methods of mining in vogue there
known, and, If they were to be told it
was the placer system, many of them
would by no means be enlightened.
That is just the plan, however. The
placer system is the only one general
ly available where the hand of Old
Winter has so firm a grasp as in the
Klondyke region.
By placer mining is meant that sys-
tenn which involves the separation of
the virgin gold from the earth by
means of water. In other words, it is
washed out. 1t is really panning gold
on a huge scale. The other system of
gold mining is known as quartz min
ing. In this latter case the gold is
found imbedded in quartz, and is
taken from the mines to stamp mills,
where the quartz is stamped or crushed,
and thus put in such a condition that
the gold and quartz can be separated
by process which is so technical that
to be thoroughly understood it needs
to be seen.
When Klondyke prospector has
staked out his claim, which must be
as near water as possible, and general
ly about 500 feet in length, he makes
an experimental panning as a test of
the claim This may show very little
at first, but when it is considered that
5 cent dirt-that is ground that washes
or pans out cents worth Of gold to the
Wi No
seen that the miners standard is not
so very high. Many a case has lately
been reported from the Klondyke where
the dirt has washed out $50 to the pan.
With claim Of cent dirt the miner.
if he is Industrious, may be reason
ably sure Of $50 a day. With $50 dirt,

surface gravel from the pay dirt OF
his claim
The statements often made that it is
impossible to do any work during the
winter season are erroneous Nearly
all the tunneling is accomplished at
that time of year. Fire is the agent by
means OF which the tunneling is done
There is plenty of wood to be obtained.
and 50 the miner builds a roaring fire
next to the gravel through which he
wishes to tunnel. Naturally, this
melts the frost out of the gravel, which
is then shoveled out This method
does not prove successful with surface
gravel.
Occasionally it happens that claim is too
far from water, and in such cases several
fortunes have been rocked out-that is, rock
ers have been used. The rocker is lust what
its name indicates The dirt is nIaced with
IN 1t and it is rocked until dirt and gold
nave been thoroughly shaken apart This
system Is used only on rare occasions. for
as a rule water is sufficiently plentiful to
make the ordinary methods of placer mining
available
curious fact that the placer mining of
me hIondyke region has developed is that
these mines are nearer the original sources
than any ever discovered on the American
continent The Californian mines were never
traceable, biologists say, but these latest
discoveries give distinct evidence of being
near the source from which they originally
came. Placer mines are IN reality glacial de-

another wrenched from the original gold de-
posits fragments OF the riches there located
by nature. These fragments, swept along by
the huge rivers of ice have found resting
places at various points, forming what we
know as placer mines.
The biologists who have examined the
Klondyke mines say that the original gold
fields are not far distant from Klondyke. 1t
is therefore quite possible that the stories
from the North about still richer finds are
true. and that the real Eldorado is by no
means reached as yet

He is married to squaw and has sew

went up in the spring of 1896 to the
mouth of the Klondyke to fish, as
salmon weighing ninety pounds are
caught where this stream meets the
Yukon. The salmon didn't run as
usual and Mccormick, hearing from
the Indians of rich placers near by
where gold could be washed out in a
frying pan, started out to prospect
Near what is now Dawson City he struck
