OUR KLON
DIsCOURAeED.

A letter received this week from the
Mullins-McMillan party, who have been
In the Klondike country several months,
indicates that the boys are In 9 blue and
discouraged frame Of mind. They have
been prospecting for about six weeks with
no success whatever. and have now decided
10 put in the Winter working for some OF
the big mining companies II they can
secure positions. So far investigation has
verified their first impression that the
country and its mineral were
grossly exaggerated. while the difficulties
surrounding exploration and prospecting
have been greatly under-estimsted. There
ia much more Of q gamble and speculation
about the whole country than the pub
lie has been led 70 understand. II Ia
not . Z n placer country, and the gold lie
therefore not well distributed. The in
ference from their letter is that unless
conditions change for the better during
the coming Fall and Winter they will re-
trace their steps 70 Nevada early in the
Spring.

WHEN THY STAR
OF LIFE WENT DOWN,

Beloved. when thy star Of life went down,
The darkness OF thy tomb encompsssed me
And through Its deepening gloom I wander on
With black Despair TO bear me company.
No CLEAN Of starlight falls along the way
To guide my lost and lonely footsteps right;
No fsintest promise Of Q coming day
Breaks on the silent shadows Of my night.
The seasons in their changing beauty drest,
No more they wear the gsrb Of joy for me;
They only come 70 fill my aching breast
With memories Of thoseI've passed with thee.
Beloved one. through all the coming years
sui must I wander lonely to and fro;
Still must I drink the scslding wine of tears;
still eat the black and bitter bread of woe.
