FORTUNE N KLON[IK[
Charles Hutchinson, Of Sioux City,
Makes q Valuable Find Near
Dawson City.
Thinks His Claims Will Turn Out
$4,000 This Year Other
Lucky Ones.
Rock Island Extension to sibly
Likely to Take In Town
Of Manson.

Sioux City, Aug 16.-When the Klon-
dixie fever struck the United States, and
the world for that matter, a large num-
Der of young men, and old ones, too. left
this part of Iowa for the land of gold
and mosquitoes. So far only one of the
many who went has been known to
strike anything like pot of money.
This young man is from Sioux City, and
claim to being millionaire. but he feels
sure he h., properties which will turn
him out fully $4,000 this year.
Young Charles Hutchinson left his
home in Sioux City several years ago
and located in San Francisco. In 1897
he went to Dawson City, and there
found number of people he had
known. A friend gave him tip on
some upland claims, and the first win
ter he made his expenses and got some
money ahead, working another mans
claim.
Then came the rush to Gold Hill, 700
feet above the river. and Hutchinson got
in on the ground floor. He has already
taken out several thousand dollars in
cash, and has big force of men at
work underground on his claim. He is
only 20 years of age, and says as soon as
he gets enough money to start in bust
ness at home he Is coming back.
James Il. Booge, Sioux City's pioneer
pork packer, also is a resident now OF
Dawson City. He lost all his money in
the crash of 1893. and two years age
went to Alaska as one of the agents for
the North American Transportation
and Trading Company. 1t took him
eleven months to get to Dawson City
and now he is running hotel and q
store. He says he is making money
and likes the country. He is now al
home here, but will return in September
with his wife and daughter, and also his
son and his wife. Mr.. Booge remarks
that quartz mining in Alaska will make
1t a rich country as soon as the proper
facilities for handling the ore are pro.
vided. He owns what appears to be 6
livery valuable quartz mine.

SHORT OF FUNDS

Funds.
,cial to Times-Republican.


Special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, Aug. 16.-The building COM
mittee in charge of the new gymnasium
for men that is being erected on the
college campus has sent out circular
asking for more donations to the build
ing fund. Unless these circulars sue
coed in raising a considerable sum the
building will not be finished in time for
use this winter, which will be greatly
regretted by all friends of the college.
Nearly $4,000 have already been
pledged and a year ago this was
thought enough to complete the build
ing, but before the contracts could be
placed the advance in building mate
rial and labor has made 1T necessary TO
raise over $4,000 more.
The building was begun in the fall of
| 1898 and the corner stone was laid with
| appropriate ceremonies at commence
ment time this spring. The mason work
is now nearly finished and the roof is
being put in place. In response to the
former requests a building fund was
raised as follows:
