DRONES SENT AWAY.
Gamblers and Nonproducers Driven Out
of Dawson City by Miners.

Gamblers and Nonproducers Driven Out
of Dawson City by Miners.
The gamblers and idlers of Dawson
City were recently compelled to go down
the Yukon river to Fort Yukon to get
winter supplies. According to John
Knutson, who left Dawson in September,
these nonproducers were being sent away
by the mine owners and storekeepers in
order that the food supplies at Dawson
may be retained for actual producers of
gold. Knutson says that before he left
some of the miners who had been on the
Yukon for years foresaw the danger Of a
food shortage and advised the agents of
the trading companies to sell to pro-
ducers only and in small quantities. 1t
was practically decided then that if no
more supplies got up the river the non
producers should be requested to move
where food was obtainable. In this mat
ter the mine owners and the storekeepers
will work together, as both desire to
prevent the curtailment of this winter S
gold production because Of lack OF food.
Knutson says that hundreds of tender
feet who rushed in this fall without a
winter supply Of provisions will have to
cut wood for The trading companies for
grub on which to live. Some of them
may get jobs cutting wood for use in the
mines, but he great majority will have
to move to Fort Yukon. Knutson spent
all his money in March, 1896, purchas-
ing a Yukon outfit. Now he owns inter-
ests in four rich claims, including two
ON Eel Dorado creek, and considers him
self worth 5000, 000.-Chicago Tribune.

TO FAST SIXTY DAYS.
Miss Coppage Of Columbus Expects to
Break All Previous Records.

Break All Previous Records.
Miss Helen Alice Coppage, who says
she will break all fasting records, arrived
in New York recently from Columbus,
.. She expects to fast 60 days. Her
principal reason for attempting the feat
OF endurance, she says, is to show that
"a woman can do everything that a
man can do. D." She hopes, however, to
do better in the fasting line than any
man has ever done because she thinks
she will be able to hold out longer than
Giovanni Succi did, who lived SO days
and two hours without food. Dr. III. II.
Tanners fast lasted from June 28 to
Aug. z.
Miss Coppage is ~ years old and good
looking. She has not been weighed re-
Gently, but thinks that if she were to
step on scale now about 175 pounds
would be indicated. Professionally the
coming faster's feat is the first one Miss
Coppage has attempted. Twice before,
however, she has tasted for long peri
DDS. One of these tests occurred in Pitts
burg in April, 1893, and lasted 81 days.
The other took place in Cincinnati, in
October, 1895, and lasted only "a days.
According to her plans, Miss Coppage
will begin with her period of fasting on
Dec. 9. A public hall-the exact place
has not yet been decided upon-is to be
rented for the purpose of permitting the
faster's condition to be seen by the gen.
eral public as she proceeds with the
trial of endurance.
Miss Coppage is the daughter of a
contractor who lives in a little town in
West Virginia. She was led to test her
ability as a faster by lightning to diet
for the purpose Of reducing her fesh.-
