Parks ard Oler make an interesting tale.
The two young men met five years ago in
Colorado, where they were both engaged
as cowboys. Later they went together
upon a logging expedition to the mouth
of the Yukon rittr. in Alaska, where they
spent the greater part OF one winter split
ting LOGS ard rafting them down the river
In the spring of 1859 they were told by an
Alaskan. r&med Carmack. that gold had
been discovered In the kiondike region.
Parks and Olef Immediately abandoned
their logging expedition and set out for
the country described by Carmack. They
were among the first TO reach the gold
fields the news of which had spread like
wild fire, and after considerable prospect
Ing they staked on: their claims Edo
RADIO creek, and started work. Since then,
II Is said. their claims have turned out tc
he among tho richest In the country. and
their success has been great. Mr.. oier
stated that they had taken $4,000 out
Of one claim, hut would not say what had
been the total yield SO far. This he did
say, that their three claims had not nearly
begun 10 pan ont yet and that In one
more year they expected great results.
Last spring Mr. Cier determined 10
turn home for visit, and arranged with
Parks to come with him. About that
time Parks, who IL a native or California.

in the wage schedule rested with the
powers above. but that the matter would
be referred at once and a prompt answer
given. The answer was favorable the men
having asked merely for what they were

left decidedly pleasant impression upon
both employers and employees.
Many OF the labor troubles IN the mines

largely by reason OF the inability OF the
bosses and the miners to get together In a
reasonable spirit and talk matters over
before rescrting 10 harsh measures Hu-
mainly being much the same, regardless
OF social or Industrial position, II may be
truthfuliy said that the fault is not ono

PIRACY on THE HIGH SEAS.
Some Recent Instances showing Ih"t
1t Is Not "a Thing of the Fast.


That piracy on the high seas Is by no
means thing of the past-that it old not
cease with the suppression OF the oucca-
neers of the Spanish Main-is Wei KNOWN
But the past year seems 10 nave Deeu es-
pecially prolific in piraucai DEEDS, aho
proves that the maritime powers WIN nave
to devote some of their ships 20 the sup
preston OF this crime against the laws OF
rations and the welfare OF mankind.
The last important piracy was committed
something over two months ago, when
ship bound from New York to Marseilles
was captured by pirates soon after she
had entered the Mediterranean sea. 1t
was the Italian ship Freducia, command
ed by Capt. Maccetta. on the coast
of Morocco she became becalmed, and,
being caught in Il swift current, was car
RED ashore. As soon as she touched an
armed band OF Riffs swarmed around her
in their boats and boarded her. The Riffs
overpowered the crew and stripped the
vessel OF all the money and Clothing
board and Of everything else movable.
Then they took the captain and several
sailors to hold for ransom and put ashore.
promising TO return and dispose OF the
rest OF the crew later.
While the pirates were ashore a breeze
sprang up, and as the ship had only
touched lightly, the crew remaining on
board were able to work her off the shoai
and stand out over toward the coast Of
Europe out OF the pirates reach. So far
as is known the captain has not been ran
somed. nor has Italy sent any man-of-war
10 pun ish the Riffs
About two months before this Italian
ship was captured by pirates In the Med!-
terranean u British steamship passing
through the Straits OF Malacca was cap
tured by pirates. 1t was the steamer
Pegu, commanded by Capt. Ross. At
Erid. one OF the ports where the coasting

on board According 10 custom Capt
Ross searched the men for concealed
weapons. He found none. but II after
wards was found that the woman who
had not been searched. had concealed I'M
Ger her Malay "carong," collection Of
long and deadly knives. Just fitted for pir-
atical work.
The day after leaving Erid. while the
captain and Chief Engineer Cragie were
& dinner in the saloon six armed Achin-
csc burst in and attacked them fercely.
The officers were unarmed but defended
themselves the best they could with chairs.
Though they were terribly slashed about
he head and hants they managed 70
fight their way 10 the deck C-agfe ran
