Costly Mining in the Klondike.

The engineer, with his ocean steam
ers, wharves, railroads, aerial cable
ways, riverboats, etc, has converted
what was once an expedition of ex-
treme physical danger and hardship
and what next became journey of ex-
treme pecuniary danger and expense,
into rapid, safe, convenient, and also
cheap trip to the Arctic Circle. 1t is
this cheapness that above all else will
develop the resources of those far-off
regions, making profitable great num-
bers of mines today unworkable.
In California, gravels containing as
little as five cents of gold to the cubic
yard are washed at profit, but in the
klondike region all gravel that yields
less than fifteen dollars per cubic yard
is mined at loss. 1t is too much to
expect that far northern gravels can
ever be worked as cheaply as in Cali
fornia- but 1t is too much to expect
that with cheaper labor, cheaper sup
plies, and above all, better appliances,
five dollar gravel will in time have
value.--Harrington Emmerson, in the
Engineering Magazine for August.
Much exaggeration is being perpe-
trated of the gravity of the Yaqui out
break. 1t is sufficiently grave when
the truth is told; but when column af-
ter column of pure imagination is put
forth as news-much unnecessary
alarm is created. In the press tele-
grams in last Sundays papers there
was column from San Antonio, Tex
as, where an enterprising correspond.
ent had put upon the wires a story
taken from letter received from
someone in Sonora. II was full of
false statements. Among others. one
to the effect that the Yaquis have
plenty of money, having all saved the
two hundred dollars given each of
them at the treaty at Ortiz in 1897. A
pretty story; but two dollars was the
amount given each Yaqui at that time
not two hundred. The writer stood
within ten feet of Vice-Governor Fig
ueroa when he paid out the money.

The Prospector.

On all diggings there is a class O.
men impatient of steady and constant
labor, who devote themselves to hith
erto unworked and untrodden ground
These men are now distinguished by
the name of "prospector." Youth and
desire to acquire fortune other thar
by slow and steady toll of building
one, are usually the impetus that
start the beginner, who, when he has
entered the avenue of the prospector
seldom turns back. If it means defeat
which Is the history of the majority of
attempts, he continues the slow and
regular tramps to the end, with the
willo the-whisp lamp ahead, carrying
the banner of Col. Sellers, inscribed,
There are millions in it." He outdoes
the soldier in enduring hardship and
privation; added to this the life of a
Selkirk, oftimes going months on his
solitary way, displaying traits of char
acter worthy Of better fate. The
'prospector, though he may be reward
ed by a rich find, seldom reaps the
benefit.
The prospect when located must be
staked and monument made, the
necessary notice posted, and the law
requires certain amount of work
each year upon it. This converts it
into claim, the best stage being
mine, providing the richness of the
find will warrant it. Mines as rail
roads must pass through different
stages of success and defeat before
there is sure and steady income.
The prospector has not finances with
which to overcome the necessary diff
ticulties, nor can he rid hims self of that
restless spirit which is acquired in the ,
prospector's school. So he rids him
self of what would be a burden were
he obliged to stay by it, for a mere
song. He then repacks his burro with
a roll of bedding, bacon and frijoles
and is off for other fields. ',
He may never make any but one
lind; may never make any, but no
court of inquiry or justice could con-
vince him otherwise. So on through
life he goes, always willing to take
time, If chance gives him listener.

through his fingers, or is more willing

Others may be fooled by the indica-
tions or rock formations; not so he as
he has prospected since his youth and
knows whereof he speaks, only he is a
little short of the necessary funds at
present and would like "grub stake"
You look at the typical prospector
grown old in the service and pity takes
hold in your heart as you notice the
gaunt look, the ragged and threadbare
garments which like his looks have
been bleached by the elements, while
you can't help but admire his unwav-
ering purpose and perfect faith in the
rich strike yet to come. Scrub stake"

life some time previous Goes with friend.
DR.. Lampkin, to investigate. Upon search
of Caruthrs' apartments remains of Gre

finger nails manicured to sharp points:
Lampkin recalls reports of a row between
Caruthers and Arthur Gielow, both suitors

uthers death. Late that night Hendricks

Smith, gunner in the service of the.
Eas5 Indian company, was known as
'the sweep" derisive name given to
mark some eccentricity, for the man
was character. He had charge of the
boats belonging to the military sta
ton, and one day wrote the brigade
major, asking: 'When shall I have
the bote ready?" The major replied:
''Have the boat ready at such an hour"
When tie major went down 10 the
river with a party of ladies, he asked
Smith how he spelled boat" Una
Dashed by the presence of ladies, Smith,

it boat, but spells it b-o-t-e.'

building which held the ammunition
caught fire. There was panic; even
the best disciplined soldiers lost their
heads. But "the sweep" mounted the
roof, pulled off the thatch. poured buck

One day fire broke out on the vessel

swell gang and all that, and was born
