THE KLONDIKE KING.
Alexander Mcdonald Comes Out
Worth 100000.

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 17.-Alexander
Mcdonald, the king of the KIondike,
who has arrived here from the north,
is worth over 81, 900. He owns all
or part of seventy-fve claims in the
KIondike district. Four years ago he
left Tacoma with just enough money to
reach Juneau. Later he went to the
Yukon, determined to secure gold
enough to make his parents and him
self comfortable. He reached Dawson
from Forty Mile too late to locate
claim on the Ell Dorado or Bonanza, but
invested his savings in one which prov
ed very rich. Gradually he has ac-
Quired his other interests by purchase.
Last spring he sold part of his FL
Dorado and Bonanza holdings for 81, 500.
600, receiving half cash. This summer
an expert, representing an English syn
dictate, inspected McDOnald's remaining
claims. for which an offer of about
50, OOO,0 has been made. Mcdonald is
en- route to London, but appears uncon-
cerned whether the deal is consummat-
ed. He is one of the most modest, I'M
assuming men who has returned from
the k1Gndi1e. Before coming out he
gave 100000 to a Catholic church hos
pital and other Dawson charities. Nc
Donalds advice is that only healthy
young men should go to the Yukon.
They will succeed, he says, if deter
mined.

I'VE didn't like that said Goldie, so
we ran away
The children were taken by the Chill

quired about the children and Mrs.
Thorpe will keep them until she can
find out from their parents what she
shall do with them. The children slip
ped out of the house of Mrs. Bunce af-
ter all the household was asleep and
made their way to the ground from the
