THE PASSING IHRONG.

IGrr NAsi1Tt, tEtS veteran miner. WHOSE
success in the Klondlke forms ore OF the
rcgnances of thar region is 20 leave fo- a
"trip Eas. This afternoon. Mr.. Mallory Is
4 bachelor but he has friends and resa-
s;ves In Minneapolis. He will go as far
East as Chicago. returning 10 Seattle In

April.
Mr. Mallory was one Of the first men 20
enter the Black hills In the early seven
ties. For more than thirty years he has
engaged In the pursuit cf fortuns, and.
when. in the autumn Of life. he found the

rainbow fortune IA the klondike-he
met the realization Of all his most san
gufne dreams.
Mr.. Mallory was asked yesterday as 10
his early experiences IN the klondike. He
was 10th 20 speak Of them. but Was will
ing 20 give his views or the origin Of the
gold in the khsndike district. He said:
Il, Is my belief founded on observations
In the klondiks, that the gold was horne

the bed rock one of the moiars or mas

period there had been a great CONFUSION

Is now the Arctic circle WAS once a tropi-

The large nuggets are studded with
quartz showing their origin. We put
four prospect holes in No. IL before we
found the pay streak. We FOUND coioFs

Mallory was working near the top of the
shaft, when one OF the men in his en-
ploy found the nugget He called up ana

pan of dirt which he would send up. Mr..
Mallory waited a moment and then turn

on the top of which was the big nugget.
He washed out $50 from the pan III addi-
ton TO the nugget. Seattle will be AIR.

fairs in the Yukon. He will make one
more trip there. and then will come out
and settle down TO enjoy his riches.
c. Fred Lamont, the st. Louis manu-
facturer OF crystaIlized eggs. is a guest
at the Hotel Butler. accompanied by Mrs.
LaMont. He will be in the city for an
other month. although when he came 10
the Coast he expected to cover the en-
tire country in about two weeks Mr.. La
Mont is firmly convinced that Seattle is
the only gateway to the Kiondke. and is
very much impressed with the way in
which the Seattle people grasp every OPP
portunity 10 better themselves. Mr.. La
Mont uses more eggs during the year
than any other individual in the country.
He has been connected since boyhood with
the egg preserving industry.
Mr. LaMont said last night: THE first
remembrance l have OF an attempt 10
preserve eggs was when Gail Borden, OF
condensed milk fame, put up a factory in
China and tried TO can eggs with sugar,
the same as he did his milk. After spend
ing from 500 coo TO s2oo. GO he gave up the
attempt. The Importance of egg preser-
walton. other than in the shell. was
great that Eastern capitalists spent hund-
reds of thousands OF dollars on expert
rnents. which covered fifty years. Dur
Ing that time tons of manufactured goods,
worth thousands OF dollars, were thrown
away. The article could not be put Oh
the market cheap enough to pay The
plan or sealing the eggs UP In the shell
with wax and the chemical egg also
proved failures. Old Peter Cooper. who
had been experimenting from the I,rst
was the only one who cid not give up.
When 70 years or age he perfected ma
chinery which helped solve the problem.
With the use of this machinery and a
secret process of our own We have 80
far perfected the product that II is used
by two-thirds Of the bakeries in the coun-
try The English government, in spite
OF IT'S prejudice against American goods,
has adopted ii for army hospital use.
4 rom i-,E1 TO -a.1J eggs are used in
our st. Louis factory every twenty-four
hours during nine months in the year
Eggs are TOO high during the three win

These eggs are brought into ST. Louis
by a line Of refrigerator steamers and
harges, making weekly trips on the Red.

boats run as far south a. Florence. Ala.

are prepared for the use OF tanners IN
