Sold a $4,000 Mine

T AMES MORRISON, well known at
juneau. is the owner of one Of the
richest claims on Hunker Creek-No.
I'll SO below He has twenty-four men
at work, eight or ten holes down,
and the smoke from his fires at night
envelopes the creek valley for a mile.
He was offered $4,000 for the claim by
]. J. Healy last winter, declined and has
been carrying on development ever since,
and his dumps are probably worth now
more than $4,000. Among the workmen
on the claim is old Tom Young, the man
who staked it.
Morrison came to Dawson in 1897 with
the intention of starting a saloon, but
finding rents so high and whisky so scarce
he decided TO tend bar and weigh gold
for another man instead. On the wall of
the saloon hung a large picture of a
wood nymph which Morrison had brought
with him.
Among the patrons of the bar was Tom
Young, and he took a great fancy to this
picture. Young had been shut UP in this
country for ten years, and to him this
particular chrome was a revelation in art
Tom was then married TO or was living
with a squaw, their home being a dingy
little cabin across the Klondike in what
wanted to take that picture home to his
cabin and his squaw, and in exchange for
IT he offered Morrison the claim No. 80.
Hunker
Not much was known of Hunker at that
time Although Discovery and some ad-
Joining claims away UP had been turning
out rich dirt, few claims lower down had
been more than prospected. However,
Dick Low. the man who discovered the
riches Of Skookums benches, had just at
that time paid $1,000 for No. 40, and Nor
rison argued that If so wise or lucky a
man might risk so much money he (Mor-
rison) could afford to chance so little as
a cheap chrome.
The trade of the picture for the mine
was made and Tom carried the garish
thing away in great satisfaction, and Jim
went out to look at his purchase.

remained wrapped in his song to its fin

ill-smelling coal oil lamps that hung
against and begrimed the walls even when
the curtain of tobacco smoke had risen to-

farther end of the room scarcely reveal
the singer and his piano on the pedestal
as he repeated the closing lines of the
song
For the space of say one whole note In
terval the spell continued after the song
was finished. Then the singer rose, step

again. He was treated as a discovery
They had not known he could sing, or at
least that he could sing that way
The delighted crowd dragged him to the
bar of course, but all the expressions of
appreciation were comparatively subdued
and respectful. and there was nothing at
all of the kind that followed the first rem
dering of isabella" and 1.-THE New
Bully. The crowd drank to him, and
then they clamored for him to sing again.
But he said he would not, and he did
not; he had sung more than he intended
to sing, and neither would he repeat this
or sing anything else, and he Joined the

shape and, the time arriving, quite con-
tent, bade the boys good-by There re-
maned his body in the grimy little cabin.
From up and down the creek those who
had known him, hearing of his death,
gathered about it in great sorrow. The
death occurred in the evening and the
next morning the partners and two of the
men, who had been almost as close to
"the old man" started away for town,
carrying the body for burial in the city
cemetery. They had first dressed 1t as
neatly as the old mans war sack ad-
mitted and then sewed it up in a white
piece of tenting, which they let extend
out beyond the head and feet, the surplus
serving as handles by which they could
swing the weight between them over their
shoulders. Only two of them could carry
the burden at one time, for the trail was
narrow, following the side hill through
the trees and underbrush.
Down the Klondike in the spring Of the
year, just after the overflow, the banks
along which the trail runs are wet and
muddy and the labor of travelling over 1t
increases. All that afternoon the four
men struggled down toward town over
the terrible trail, climbing up and down
the muddy banks, constantly shifting the
burden from the shoulders Of one to the
other, and as often drawing help from

very tired were they and so glad to be
near the end of their journey. Then they
picked up the long bag, the contents of
which none in the saloon suspected, and
went into the street. At the very next door
stood the big sign of a liquor saloon and
very cheerily one Of the party ordered
the others in. Here they called for five
glasses and, lifting from the floor the
long sack, now covered and soaked with
mud and slime. stood 1t against the bar,
one Of them crying, Mac, old man, here's
ten thousand blessings on your soul"
The sack slid along the bar to the floor,
and the four in an effort to save It STUN

to their feet one by one and then united
in lifting the heavy lump,

and It's not we that are blaming you
Slowly and unsteadily they swung the
sack between them again and numbered
out Of the door, the weight swinging
with their uncertain steps, striking heav-
lily against the door posts and causing
the passers-by to give them a wide way
to avoid contact with it's mud and slime.

respectable society women. Several Of

others went to the manager, who had
yIaranteed the ball to be conducted in a
thoroughly respectable manner.
The manager, very 10th, went to Miss
Wilson and represented the situation
Did you not personally invite me to
he ball and did I not consent to come
inly after repeated assurances that 1t
vas your desire?" demanded the per-
urbed actress.
The uneasy manager admitted his fault,
iaying: But you see how it is; II,

He added: 4 consider Miss Wilson a

The actress then retired in dignity and
triumph.

fuss in and out of Dawson society"
and at least one man went to the editor
with the expressed intention Of doing him
harm in the belief. 10 doubt, that some
woman dear to him who, perhaps, had
been at the ball. was by the editorial be-
smrched. But the editor talked him out
