The Gold Seekers.

The introduction by Senator Mcbride
of Oregon, of a resolution authorizing
the secretary of war to expend a quar-
ter of million in attempts to send aid
to the distressed gold seekers in the
Yukon valley is probably not the last
we shall hear of the matter. 1t seems
incredible if all or even half the re-
ports of the great influx of poorly
equipped and Adventures into that
region be true that the winter can pass
without widespread restitution on the
part of many.
A letter has recently been made pub
lie, that was written by well known
and reliable GOLD expert, John D. Nc
Gillivray, from Dawson City The
gist of his conclusions is. beware the
Klondike. He had been studying the
situation for several weeks before he
wrote and he found that nine out OF
every ten men in that region wish they
We're at home. Furthermore the stories
about enormous wages being paid in
the mines he found to be false. Neve:
was the daily pay as high as SIS unless
in some exceptional case A dollar an
hour he found would in all probability
be the prevailing rate in the mines this
winter and not nearly enough work
for all at that.
Claims, too, are so completely taken
up that one in search of a rich strike
must seek some remote part distant
from supplies and exceedingly difficult
to reach. There is not in the whole
country place for the poor man. The
work of prospecting is excessively hard
he says. for the reason that deep shafts
must he, sunk to quite a depth by
means Of fires in order to reach the pay
gravel, which must be very rich to pay
returns. Under these conditions
whole season may be spent in pros
pecting over a narrow strip and within
few feet of gold the prospector has
been so-unluckly as to miss. All this is
in striking contrast with the easy
prospecting in California in the early
days i

so intimately Involved in the welfare
not further and other action by the
United States will remain to be taken"
What sort of action the President
cOntemplates we may learn from this:
'If it shall hereafter appear to be
duty imposed by our obligations to
ourselves, to civilization and humanity,
to intervene with force, it shall be
without fault on our part and only
because the necessity of such action
will be so clear as to command the
support and approval of the civilized
world" Surely here not one jot or
little of our rights lin the question are
surrendered, weakened or kept in the
background. The President evidently
does not believe that recognition of
belligerent rights would be well
grounded but does hold that we have
a right to forcibly interfere to end a
sensefess strife when it shall have been
demonstrated beyond question that its
prolongation is utterly useless and in
furious to all parties concerned.
Spain and all can find between the
lines of that message, along with de-
termination to deal fairly and conser-
vatively, a sympathy with the aspira-
tions of the insurgents and an abhor
renee of methods which Spain has re-
sorted to in the past to keep the iron
heel on the neck of Cuba.

DR.. James E. Heating OF Portland,
was quite severely burned, Wednesday
night, at his home. In his pocket he
carried box of potash tablets and
several matches. In some manner the
matches took fire and the potash tab
let's were ignited. In second DR..
Keating's pocket was in blaze. He
tried to remove the blazing box of tab
let's from his pocket and in doing so
severely burned his hand. His clothes
also took fire and he suffered other
burns on his body. 1t was a most
peculiar accident and one which will
doubtless prevent the doctor from
carrying potash tablets and matches in
the same pocket in the future.
