to cover, but 1t cannot be abolished
Something better, something whole

j. R. Marshalps Severe Experience in
the KlOndyke country-Left o. P.
Jones and Others in Good
Spirits and Health

James r. Marshall, who returned
from tho Klondyke country Wednes-
day, in an interview with the LEDGER
states that he is one of the happiest
men in the country, although he got
home with only ten cents. He found
his family well and his own health Is
splendid. In fact, he is glad to be
alive. Mr.. Marehall has changed in
appearance considerably, having now
full beard. He was absent from
Mexico Just eleven months, leaving
Mexico March /, 1898.
On the 18th day of December, 1898,
he left o. P. Jones, OF Mexico, and
DR.. Downing, of Centralia. These two
gentlemen, with others, were going to
try to go up Franklin Gulch. Mr..
Jones was in good spirits, well pro-
vided for and said that he had staked
all he had 10 this venture and was
going to try at least another season.
Mr.. Marshall thinks It Is great
mistake to go to the Klondyke country
at all. He says that they found plenty
of color, but no pay dirt. He staked
of two claims and for one he got $40,
for the other nothing. In addition to
the severe hardships of the trip 1t cost
Mr.. Marshall $500 He got back to
Seattle with s54 and paid Gas for a
ticket to Mexico. When he landed
here he had ten cents. PSI
About fifty came out with Mr.. Mar
shall and they all suffered severe hard
ships. They were fourteen days conn
ing 100 miles over glaciers, wearing
snow shoes. They would camp In
holes in the snow, four in hole
sometimes, and for two or three days
at q time. Four Of the number froze to
death and several viii lose their feet,
