Wonderful Riches of the Yukon
River GOLD Fields.
Located in "a Wild Country, Far from

to Get There-COst of
the Trip.
Especial letter.

Within the past few weeks the news
papers have been publishing wonderful
stories of the lucky miners in the goiG
fields of the Yukon river, and all over
the United States and Canada mems
minds are stirred with the golden
possibilities. 1t has long been known
to prospecting biologists that the
streams tributary to the Yukon, and in
some places the great river itself,
wandered DER sands of gold,s but 1t
is within the past few weeks that the
discoveries have been made that have
turned the eyes of the people thither.
Some Of the stories read like tales from
fairyland. One man, for instance, who
went to the Klondyke last winter from
Michigan, and who lived for months in
a hole in the ground, suffering great
privations from the terrible cold and
half starved, had almost decided that
there was no gold in Alaska, when one
day, after a 2O-mile tramp, he came
upon a little stream" to quote his own
words, (which emptied into a sort OF
a basin. The water was clear and the
gravelly bottom was covered with mug.
gets Of course, he plunged into the
icy stream and picked up all the gold
in sight. (And there are not many of
us who wouldn't endure very icy water
for such a prize) That was the begin
ming of his luck, and when he re
turned to his home in Michigan two
weeks ago he had a deposit check for
$4,000, and owns an interest in sew
eral mining claims still.
Then there is the case of man from
Kansas Citv- Who Ga rear. or two 400

In 1918 a battle was fought near
Milan, in Italy, and so perfect was the
armor of both armies that, although
the conflict ragged from nine a. m. to
four p. m, no one on either side was
either killed or wounded, though one
man broke his collar bone by falling of
his horse.

High Handed Attempt to Confis-

Lands.

Policemen numbering forty, armed with
night sticks. are on duty this afternoon
at the head of S-eneventeenth street, pre-
venting from invasion a strip of city
property twelve feet wide, by a force OF
West Shore Railroad employees. A con-
tiict is imminent as the iaborers, mostly
Italians. showed a disposition to become
riotous
In 1882 the property owners decided to
open n extend Seventeenth street to
Hoboken avenue. The Proctor estate and
the West Shore Railroad combined and
hung UP the Improvement, the Proctors
because some of their land would be in
vaded and the railroad because a grade
crossing. would be established.
Counsel employed by the petitioners
were never able to secure the removal of
the DIRECTORS.
Recently some of the land along the line
of the improvement changed hands, fall
ing to persons who are now anxious to
OPEN h street. Petitions have been filed
and today the city's surveyors started in
today out the line of the Improvement.
Shortly after the surveyors appeared a
gang of a hundred or more laborers of
the West Shore Railroad arrived on the
scene. armed with picks and shovels.
Subsequently a car load of ties n rails
We're hauled to the scene. and the fore
men announced that they lac been in
structed to lay q spur from the main
line in to the works of the Proctor Man
ufacturing Company.

owners, who are interested in the open
ing of the street. notified Mayor Wanser
who was going over AT the Mayors re-
quest Chief Murphy sent ten men to the
scene, with instructions to use force, if
necessary. to prevent the invasio of the
cityss land. To reach the Proctor works
with a spur. it was necessary TO cross
the city's land.
When the police arrived on the scene
the laborers became ugly and threatened
to lay. the tracks where ordered, no m a
ter what happened. Threats of arrest
were of no avail, and Chief Murphy or
dered out the reserves. The arrival of
the policemen seemed to brighten the la
borers and stood by the point of cross
ing in groups growing at the police in
reference.
Chief Murphy says there will be no
trouble. but property owners think other
