mammoth one-story log edifice next
the Blue Ruin dive on Birthstone street;
admission, two pennyweights Of gold
ranging in value from $3.50 to SITS.
At the appointed time the miners
gathered to hear the news, and 200 or
more of them tossed their gold dust
into the doorkeeper's scales and crowd
ed inside. The reading was satisfac-

no grumbling about the investment.
No less than $500, and probably much
more, was realized from that idea. The

he read the other news in the paper
merely as courtesy to the assembly.
This practice grew MS the nation
neared war, and after the war began.
and it is frequent occurrence for n
public reading Of important news &c
be given in Dawson at so much per head
for admission. And the cooped-upme
pay for nothing more checrfuIIy tina!
for war news. Their libcrality in this
matter is sometimes taken advantage
Of, and stale stuff pnlmed off for news
and even the Dawson City public is dis
eliminating in this particular, and Is
strongly disposed TO resent the swindle.
