his acquaintance took advantage of the
occasion to sci, to him for $50 claim
which they considered worthless. The next
morning, while his head was still with
him, he tried to get them to retract the
contract, but they would not. So. for lack
of something better to do he worked the
claim. To sum il all up briefly. he struck
1t rich, and before the gold seekers Tow in
town left the Klcndike he had been offered
and refused SIjo,oo0 for the claim for which
he paid $500. And it is a solemn thought

Lucky Kid went to Bear creek staked
claim there and sold it for SO. 800. This
sounds like pretty fair price, but when
it is considered that the claim now is val
ued at a large fraction of a million dollars,
kind of luck still was clinging to him. 1t

FREAKS OF FORTUNE
Good and Hard Luck Stories From
the Alaska Di&gings.

From
the Alaska Diggings.
From the San Francisco Examiner
When Frank Phiscator. who came out of
the klondike country with about $4,000,
first went there, not many months ago, he
staked a claim on Ell Dorado creek. At
that time Ell Dorado creek was unstaked
and he was the first to try its merits or
dement's. From the first he struck gold
averaging from 80 cents to $3.50 a nan.
For six days he had it all to himself. Min
ers would pass him and they would say.
How much are you making?" and he
would reply, truthfully enough ooh, from
30 cents to $3.50 pam" Then they would
scott at him and would say, If you want
10 stake a moose pasture, you CHICAGO
(Which is klondike for tenderfooD, this is
an right, but If you want gold you would
better go where there is some" Thus it
was that the Ell Dorado diggings which
nave panned out so bountifully were
opened with a scott and sneer from those
VINO passed by on the other side" As for
Mr.. Phiscator, he stayed with his claim
and grew wealthy. For instance, he took
$4,000 royalties included from claim No.
on Ell Dorado, and $4,000 from claim No.
13 below Bonanza
Another instance of striking it rich is
that of d. B. Davidson. He heard some
body say that he had seen some signs of
gold in dragging wood downhilI on French
Gulcn, by FL Dorado creek. Hundreds
knew OF this statement, but refused to try
their luck in French Gulch. Mr. Davidson
concluded to see what he could do on the
indicated spot. SO he staked out a claim last
March. and In short time he had taken
out $4,000 and sold the claim for S25 OOo
He secured $4,000 from a claim that MANY
another man had refused to have anything
to do with. But, to show how utter a lot
terry Is klondike gold mining, Ii should be
said that after Mr.. Davidson was success
full hundreds of claims were staked out on
French Gulch, and only eight or ten of the
hundreds have paid.
The boys who make their money easy
blow it in with equal facility. An illustra-
ton Of this fact is found in the Pavilion
dance hall which was opened in Dawson
city month or two ago. On the first night
the management took in $4,000. One man
spent 5000 for champagne at $40 a bottle,
representing total of seventy-fiye bottles
and one of the girls, who made her money
by percentage on the wine she sold. re-
cefved $3.50 as her first weeks salary But
$50 is not, in Dawson City, so much as it
seems. To Illustrate, the first eggs received
there last spring sold for SIS dozen, while
lemons and oranges were retailed at 81 to
$1.50 apiece. and 1t required $3.50 to buy
two-pound can of butter. But prices
were higher last winter than they were In
the spring. For instance, sack of -four
that cost $50 to $125 In the winter could
be bought for SIS even before the first boat
came in this spring.

All Must Pay Board.
From the Boston Herald

When members of the queens family or
any wandering German relatives of high
degree visit London and occupy apartments
In Buckingham palace, "by invitation, -
they pay their board just like common
folks in first-class hotel. This prevents
the sovereign lady from having too much
company and makes things very pleasant
for the palace servants. The independ-
ence 1t gives some of the royal guests is
not wholly appreciated by them, but as
the queen early in her reign determined on
this economical course, her subjects cam
not justly complain of her extravagance.
1t is very expensive piece of pleasure
being guest of royalty, and even the
queens own children must pay their way
out Of their allowances when not directly
under nnummer's roof.

From the Pittsburg Press
The most celebrated battle steeds of the
civil war were Cincinnati, Traveller and
Winchester, the favorite chargers of Grant,
Lee and Sheridan. When the hero of Vicks-
burg visited Cincinnati few months after
the close of the brilliant campaign, he was
requested to visit dying man, who was
exceedingly DESTROYS of sc eng him. When
they met the invalid said: Gen. Grant,
wish TO give you noble horse, who has no
superior on the continent, as a testimony
of my admiration for your character and
past services TO our country. There is a
condition attached to the gift-that you
will always treat him kindly" Grant ac-
cepted the magnificent bay, of course,
faithfully keeping his promise, and named
him Cincinnati. He was a son of Licking
ton, with a single exception the fastest
four-mile thoroughbred that ever ran on an
American course. The general was Of
fered $4,000 for the horse, as he had a
record of speed almost equal to that of his
famous half brother, Kentucky. Cincin-
natl was a superb and spirited steed Of
great endurance. Grant riding him almost
constantly from end to end of our long
lines. Ths noble horse was retired soon
after the close of the war, enjoying IAN old

1t is good news, and prophetic that comes
from New York. The formal announcement
Is made that the increase Of 1900, 900 in
the capital of the Metropolitan Traction
Company is in order to equip the lines of
that great concern with electrical appara-
tus. This means the end of the abominable
cable cars, and, let us hope, the end, too.
of the cable-car style of courtesy that the
public have endured as long as patience
permits. The passenger. male or female,
who has been able to take a car at the
crossing will become famous in a day by
announcing the fact. The rule has been to
slide by and make the public Jump for the
car or run after it. Such a thing as re-
garding the wishes Of the travelling people
has not been permitted to interfere with
the progress of the vehicles. 1t is gain
to have that done away with, no matter
what takes its place. 1t is also gain to be
rid of the daily risk of the runaway car.
which, becoming entangled in the cable.
sweeps all obstacles from its path for a
half mile or more, until the telephone can
carry the news of disaster to headquarters.
But the change means, too, that the un-
foreground trolley is a success as every
one who rides on the 4th avenue line al
ready knows. II is the best of all trolley
schemes yet devised. and its general adop-
ton by the big Metropolitan concern Is
evidence that 1t is what all such companies
must come to sooner or later The cable
has seen its best days and the overhead
trolley Is rapidly getting to be back num-
Der also. Moreover, some new reason for
digging lip the streets is about due.
