a job on the 'Trib, 'sas we called II. hack
in 'SS, and, like many reporters. never
bothered my head about anything outside
the local room. In fact, 1 hardly knew
who owned the paper. one day the civ
editor told me 10 go out and get some
opinions from old citizens about a certain
gas franchise, and while wandering around
l happened to encounter a benevolent
looking old gentleman in the book store
of Jansen & McClurg afterward A. c.
McClurg & Co He seemed like a substan-
tial citizen, so / tackled him about the
franchise, and he gave me very meaty
talk, right in line with the papers policy.
When I asked him his name / understood
him to say McGill. He added that he was
in the paper business so l put him down
as Mr.. McGill, the we'll knWn wallpaDer
man. AS l was about to go out he re-
marked pleasantly that he was thinking
of writing something himself on the SUBJ
ject for the Tribune. and, being young and
fresh, laughed merrily. Don't do it. nv

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.) says:
early in the war with Spain Dewey was
set down politically as a Democrat. This
was an error, for, as the admiral himself
says: An officer of either army or navy
is follower of the administration, wheth-
err il be Republican or Democratic This
is as IL ought 10 be, for a member of the
military service who would prefer a par
ty to the orders of the constitutional COM
mander-in-chief would be an anomaly in
the republic"

1t was hardly 20 be expected that that $40
dinner In New York would be pulled off
without the appearance in the public
prints of some crank in connection with
It, Day before yesterday the crank show
ed up. He sent a letter 10 the manager
of the Metropolitan opera House, where
the feast was to be held, warning him that
the building would be blown up when the
diners were in the midst of their orgies
The prospective dynamiter very kindly
suggested that theatrical scenery be renov-
ed from the building, so that it would not
be damaged. and said the walters and mu-
sicians would be warned in time so that
they could get out of the way. Notwith-
standing the warning, it seems that not
one of the banqueters lost his appetite, or
took out special accident insurance.
1t appears that Vice President Hobart
has been quite seriously Ill, and that he
is still far from being well man. While
at Townsville he was attacked with the
grip, which became complicated by re-
turn of an old stomach trouble. For some
familiar with the case to be critical. He
is now. however, said TO be out of danger,
and slowly improving. 1t is to be hoped
that the return of the warm and balmy
days of spring will enable him to recuD-
crate rapidly and regain his usual health.

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times has the information that
no action on the case of Capt. o. NJ. Car
ter need be looked for prior TO July 10.
The case is in the hands of Attorney Cen
eral Griggs, and the understanding is that
he viii look into it during the time of his
summer vacation. There was a report
current few days ago that the President
would take action on the case at once.
The Times correspondent says he cannot
find any substantial basis for that report.

When the canoes landed with my out
fit went over land to 40 mile river.
The climate is not half so bad as it
has been painted by newspaper reports
nor is the suffering anywhere near as
great as represented. In fact found
the winters very pleasant and healthy.
1.-THE whole country In the vicinity OF
40 mile is staked and swarming with
prospectors who did not care to work
and most of them spent the winter in
camp waiting for q chance to get out
and go home. Many new .claims were
opened up by the men who did work.
The only new one of any consequence
on our property was one on Jack Wade
creek, which averaged 10 to Is cents
per pan.
try 1 made trip over to Dawson and
went into the gold region thereabout.
Probably per cent Of the claims that
are being worked there are making
money. The stories-both good and
bad-published in the newspapers, so
far as was able to judge are exagge-
rated about times. just divide them
by five and the result is very near the
truth.
1.-THE fret discovery of placer gold in
gulch has turned out about 800, 900 an
nually.
This year results at Forty Mile, how
ever have been very disappointing to
the large number of men who went
there and most of the work Is being
done on land that has been prospected
before. The only tributary OF Forty
Mile that is producing any amount of
gold is Chicken Creek, and claims have
been staked in all directions, though
but few of they are being worked.
"Dawson is looking up. There are
not SO many people there now as year
ago. Then 1t was almost impossible to
get room even in the streets to pitch a
tent. The population of the town is
made up Of all kinds of people, though
there are but few women. There are
doctors, lawyers, and mechanics in
profusion and the supply of labor is
far greater than the demand. Men go
there expecting to get from 81. to $3.50
per hour for all kinds of work and no
man Gan count on getting steady en-
ployment.
