hair, an unassuming manner, and when in repose plain, almost dull face.
 Hofmann, however, is not always sol emn and silent. Far from it. He is bright and fluent talker in many lan guages and on many topics, and as he Is always deeply interested in what he is talking about, it follows that those who know him are surprised to hear people criticizing the dullness of his face.
 In telling about his education the other day he talked freely and f1uently of his life and ideas; he discussed ath- letics and automobilism; he advanced some sound opinions on musical sub iects and also incidentally criticized the New York system of street transit. He did not mention the weather or say how glad he was to get back in Ameri- ca, which is creditable, as showing him to be a man of some originality.
 Josef Hofmann is now22 years of age, though he looks considerably less. He was born in Cracow, In Poland, and it was there he received his early musical education. Among his teachers was Moszkowski, with whom he studied for two years.
 His first appearance in public was at the age of 51a years. when he played at Warsaw. His parents, however,

Josef Hofmann Is

HE task that conf~onts young
 Josef Hofmann, the pianist, is f~ by no means an easy one. Ten years ago he was a musical
 prodigy, the admiration and
 envy of little girls in short pet ticoats, and the darling of plump, good natured mammas. Now he has no in fantile glamour to wrap himself up in. It is true that he is young still and very small, but he wears long trousers and speaks in a bass voice. He is man, and as a man he must stand or fall. His late performance at the Mctropoli- tan Opera House, New York, was pro- nounced a brilliant success and the critics think that he will win all the fame as a man that his infancy gave such promise of.
 As a lad he was the pet of the women, but as young man he has not the personal attractions of Paderewsk It is not that he is i'll looking; quite the contrary, but he is somewhat unstrik- ing; he has no glorious and wonderful head of hair, no commanding figure, not even that wild and fantastic man. ner that goes straight to the heart of the young miss. Hofmann is short, standing about feet f inches and weighing but 110 pounds. He has short

judged that this was rather an early beginning, so after. few concerts they took him out of the blaze of publicity, and for two years he remained a pri- vate individual. At the age of the boy again appeared in the same city, this time to the accompaniment of a full orchestra. This second essay proved him a wonder and he was at once called by the well-known impre- sario Wolff to Berlin.
 His performance at the German capi- tai attracted the notice of the whole musical world, and the boy now re- ceived fattering offers from many lands. For the next few years he trav- eled from country to country and city to city, gathering big audiences wher- ever he went.
 In London in particular his success was conspicuous, though there were many who prophesied that the boy would go the way of all other prodigies ito the grave, madhouse or oblivion. Those dismal prophecies, fortunately, have been unfulfilled. and it only needs a few moments conversation with the young man to convince one that the prospect of their fulfllment is remote, for Hofmann is as healthy and sane a youth as ever was.
 At the age of Il Josef Hofmann made his first voyage across the Atlantic. In
The San Francisco call., 1898-04-24

New York his success was immediate and striking. He played eighteen times in New York and twelve in Brooklyn, and always to crowded and enthusias- tic houses. He also played in Boston and Washington.
 With his American tour. Hofmann's career as an infant prodigy came to an end. The first warning note was sounded by the Gerry Society, who declared that it was against the law of the land for boy of his age to perform in public. The matter, how ever, was squared up somehow, and he continued to perform in spite of the societys remonstrance.
 However, it was not for long, for his parents were here on time and needed the advice of doctors, who warned them that if they continued to allow their son to play in public he would never be any use in after life. HOfmann then was temporarily retired and so ended the career of the infant prodigy.
 It was seven years before Hotmann again emerged from obscurity. In the meantime he studied hard, not only music. but physics, electricity and au- tomobilism. Automobolism, in part1cu- lar. is his hobby, and he is having con- structed for him in Berlin an automo- bile car, in which he intends to make his journeys in the future.

What does an exodus of 100, 900 to the Klondike mean to the business of the country? I have figured it out on the basis of cost and proportion as ascer- tained, and it is this: That each man of them would average first and last an expenditure of $500, making grand to- tai of $60,000, 000 The United States railroads would get 900 of this: Seattle merchants and hotel keepers, for outfits and transient guests, $25, ,O0O,- 900; the prospector's home town and towns en route to Seattle and other Pa- cific Coast points, $5,000, ,000; ship com panies, for transportation to Alaska, SIG, 900, and for the transportation of freight over passes and in Alaska, S15, ,0OO 900.
 This would represent only the actual needs of the number of prospectors and would cause large increase in other businesses directly connected with it. It means that in 1898 $60, ,OOO, ,000 will be spent in the search for gold in the yell low creeks, and in the same year not more than one-fourth of that amount will be produced. But the output is likely to come nearer the expense as each year goes by, and in a few years to exceed it.-Review of ReviewG

CHARLEY RIVER AND COAL CREEK are a days journey farther down the Yukon and several stam- pedes took place there during the lat ter part of the winter from Circle City and Dawson, and reports of rich finds were received. Coal Creek has recent ly been stampeded. It is ninety miles above Circle City The original pros pectors claim to have found 15 cents to the pan in gravel three feet from the surface. A townsite was Staked on the Yukon at the mouth of the creek.
 THE BIRCH CREEK DIGGINGS, which made Circle City the metropo- lis of the Yukon previous to the birth of Dawson, are big producers. They comprise Mastodon, Independence Mammoth, Eagle, Porcupine, Miller, The mines pay from $10 to $50 a day per man. This whole region is a vast gold field.

The work of this past winter, which will be shown in the wash up, will demonstrate just what there is at Minook. All kinds of big prospects are reported rom there.
 THE PANAMA RIVER is the dream of the prospector. It is large stream entering the Yukon from the south 400 miles below Fort Yukon. It is navi-

 THE KUYOTUK RIVER enters the Yukon from the north below Fort Yu- kon and is another field that is at tracting miners now that the many small steamers coming into the big river bring the prospect of provisions that have heretofore been impossible in these distant and inaccessible re- gions. Several parties are heading for the Kuyotuk, and even beyond.
