TRAMPS.
Iowa Lawyer Thinks Hobos Should
be Transported Like Sheep.

People who live in the east think
they know something of tramps, but
it is only to the west, on the main
line of travel, that the hobOs are seen
in real force.
Just before harvest time they begin
to pass through Iowa, Minnesota and
other states. Ostensibly they are on
their way to the wheat fields. Later
in the season they drift back again
by the hundreds.
Their usual method is to steal
passage on freight trains or the brake
beams of passenger coaches. Gangs
of from twenty or thirty to several
hundred frequently gather at single
point, seize train and force the
crew to carry them over the road.
The police at the small towns en-
route are powerless to cope with
them, and bloody fights often take
place between them and the railroad
men.
The situation has grown worse year
by year, until the transportation and
support of the buns have become a
serious question. Mr.. Shull, rail-
road attorney, Of Sioux City, Ia, is
frequently compelled to visit on bust
ness the smaller towns in this and
neighboring states. He has had
ample opportunity for studying the
problem, and after considerable de-
liberation says:
Gin my opinion the roads would
do well to run tramp car on their
regular freight trains during the har-
vest season and charge the passengers
about the same rates as they would
live stock. All those who are really
looking for work will pay this nomi-
nal charge, and believe the number
Of others would be so reduced that
The train crews could protect them
selves against them

I Nell had taken along several kegs OF
alcohol, with which she intended to
mix brown sugar and water and sell
it as whiskey. The miners carried
no liquor themselves, as they did not
want any fighting, and though Nell
was welcome, her alcohol was not.
The beast of burden stumbled in
the divide, and Nell's alcohol rolled
down precipice and was lost. The
way she stormed about it was a eau

tic Englishman who had gone along
in search of big game.
After two days. tramping the pros
pectors were out of the pass and at
the head waters of the Yukon river.
Here they took. canoes and ran down
with the current, after many spills
in the rapids, to Forty Mile Creek,
which is the center of the present
discoveries.
They gathered dirt in the winter
when the thermometer was around go
below zero, and thawed it out and
washed the gold in the brief summer
months. They had arranged that a
steamer was to travel the 1900 miles
up the river when the season opened,
and take home those who wished to
go by the water route. When the
vessel arrived at Forty Mile Creek the
men had met with little luck. they
had no money, and the vessels left
them behind. Afterward every man
of the Y, including the English hun

yellow metal, others had $1,000. some
| $4,000, and one man got $4,000. One

When it thawed out in the summer
the miner had over $1,000. The man
who discovered $4,000 had prospected
for three years without. finding a
thing, when he suddenly found the
nuggets in two weeks time. Their
wealth was useless, however, in the
Alaskan wilderness, as there was no
food to buy and supplies were run
ming short. If they had been put
on short rations, the food would have
been consumed six months before the
next steamer was due. Starvation

stopped off st. Michael to land a

arrived at the settlement. AS a

THETIs' RESCUE.
Adventures Of Early Prospectors in
Alaska Mines.

The present gold fever in Alaska
reminds Lieut.. Edward Simpson, who
is in charge of the Baltimore branch
of the photographic Office of the
United States navy, of an early ex-
perience to which he was party. He
was an officer on the Thetis when she
rescued seventy-two stranded miners
and their gold on the coast of Alaska
in 1889.
He spent three years off the coast
of Alaska and in the Arctic sea, and
saw much of the now famous gold
fields and their people. Previous to
1889 a miner named California Pete
had left Juneau, on the southern
coast of Alaska, and gone overland to
the headquarters of the Yukon river.
turn, and rumors floated among the
miners Of Juneau that Pete had
'struck it rich" Seventy two miners
and Seattle Nell decided that what
was "good enough" for California
Pete would also suit them, and they
decided to follow his trial and strike
out for fortune. They left the Doug
las mine, which was the cause OF the
city of Juneau's existence. This
mine was discovered by a half-breed
of many nationalities. He sold it for
a few hundred dollars to California
millionaires, who had learned that the
mine was a mountain of gold. They
invested million dollars before any
gold was secured, but afterward they
took out 100000 a month, and soon
had 100 and then 240 ore-crushers in
operation. The mountain of preci-
GUS metal was being mined from the
, surface downward.
Juneau originally consisted of a
settlement of seven Indians, but upon
the discovery of gold the popula-
ton included, as miners newspaper
stated, $1,000 men and 70 odd women,
many of whom are ladies' 1t was
from this field that the seventy-two
miners and Seattle Nell started into
the bleak north. They were ten days
on a steamer, which worked it's way
through the islands and narrow
waters to the foot of Chilkoot Pass.
Here they shouldered their supplies
