The Leading Citizen of the Yukon.

In The Century Mr.. John Sidney
Webb has an article on "The River
Trip to the Klondike." Mr.. Webb says:
The "Father Of the Country" and a
very worthy one to bear that name, Is
known throughout the length and
breadth of the mining district as Jack
McQuesten, although his name happens
to be Leroy Napoleon. McQuesten has
been there for over rs years, engaged
in trading with the Indians for furs and
keeping a store either for himself or
for the Alaska Commercial company,
and as such he has come in contact
with almost every man who has been in
that country. He has probably support
ed, QUILTED and grub staked more men
and kept them through the long cold
winters when they were down on their
luck and unable to obtain supplies or
help from any one else than any person
knows except himself and the company.
Hundreds of men today own rich claims
and are reckoning up their thousands,
when, If it had not been for a credit
given them and goods allowed them by
Jack McQuesten they would still be
toiling amid the mosquitoes for a living.
He has done all this from kindness Of
heart, without any selfish motive what
ever, for if he hnd been exacting or had
demanded even the share which be
would have been entitled to on a grub
stake agreement he would probably be
today one of the richest men in that
country, which means a very rich man
| in any country.
