condition of the earth caused the great
deposits in South Africa. and also pro-
duced the deposits of Peru which
caused the greedy and bloodthirsty
Spaniards to slaughter the Incas and
devastate Peru. But the natives there
still guard their secret, and the world
has never yet secured possession OF the
real wealth of that country. Vast
quantities of gold must have been held
in solution along the line of the
equator and suddenly become imbedded
in the quartz before it could escape to
the poles. But the real home of pure
gold is in the frozen regions OF the far
north and the far south"
This is an interes ting theory. and
apparently a new ono. It has attract
ed the attention of those who heard
the statement SO earnestly made.
Several scientific men in the National
museum and Smithsonian institution
seem inclined to give the annular the
DRY sufficient credence to warrant sci
entific investigation.
From these remarks the reader will
at once observe that these Alaskan
gold-seekers arc not ignorant, hap
hazard searchers of gold. They are
intelligent, educated, skilled in geol-
ogy as well as mineralogy, and are
going about their work systematical-
ly, as well as earnestly and enthusi-
astically. Moreover, they are law
abiding people, and have come all the
way to Washington to induce the con.
gress to enact legislation which will
enable them to work without friction,
without Misunderstanding, and with
out fighting like hyenas for what they
believe to be their rights. Therefore
they have been respectfully heard
and something will be done by the
congress in the line suggested by
these people.
Reverting to the fact that as yet
very little is definitely known con-
corning Alaska, one of the gentlemen
produced "A manual published in 1s49,
concerning the situation in California.
At that time the publisher of this
manual wrote: 81 must confess that
l have NO confidence either in the
profitableness of the mines in Cali
fornia. or in their permanency. II

California Stacks a little in its gold
productions, or the iron market i'm
proves little, the balance will turn
in favor of iron, as to the value Of
yearly production"
Think of that. A well-educated
writer and publisher, in 1919, assumed
that the production of iron in Cali
fornia would be more valuable than
the output of gold. The miner who
produced this publication said: "Very
little is known Of Alaska to-day, and
there are many intelligent people who
think that the gold supply has been
overestimated or exaggerated. But
the contrary is true. There is enough
gold within the arctic circle to sup
ply the world for millions of years"
To show how little was known In
1s49. and what progress has been
made, the gentleman referred to an
other page of the book, containing
the words: "The population of upper
California consists of about 5000
whites and 10000 Indians. The chief
places are San Diego. with good but
not deep harbor: Monterey. on a
large bay having a good anchorage,
and San Francisco. on bay Of that
name, which is very spacious, exte nd
ing upwards of 60 miles from mol tn.
east to southwest, and with an avcr.
age breadth of about 20 miles. The
latter is likely to be by far the most
important settlement"
The gold hunters from Alaska spe Mt
several weeks here, and their stale
ments concerning the gold fields. par
ticularly about Cape Nome, where
thousands of miles of coast sand
seem to be EMBEDDING untold millions
of gold, have aroused the gold-seeking
desire in the minds of many. Com
mittee clerks and congressman are
talking OF going there. but the con.
gressional elections this year will
probably keep them at home. Besides
the congress will not adjourn unit;
the summer is almost gone. But the
congress will adjourn on March
1901, and then a number of our good
people will rush to the golden coast
like those adventures of the lons
ago. in search of the golden fleece.

No wonder He s.elIea II.

A commercial traveller whose wife is one
of those women who borrow trouble indis-
criminately had occasion to make trip
east recently.
His wife was very anxious about him and
felt certain that he would fall victim to
smallpox, which was reported to be preva-
lent in the city to which he was going. She
begged him to carry little lump Of asafetid,
in his pocket to ward off contagion.
Naturally he objected and positively re.
fused to be made the permanent abode Of
such q persistent odor.
When he came home from his trip he said
to his wife:
1T is wonderful, the power Of the magma
ton. Why, don't you know imagined tina.

Water Through Sluice Boxes)
and hills, rending them and washing the
heavy metal downwards. Gold seeks
the lowest levels when it is released
from the grip Of the quartz. For prob
ably so miles along the coast Of Cape
Nome the sands are enriched with pure
gold. We want the right to stake off
mines, not only along the coast, but
for a mile or more out into the ocean"
In reply to a question from the chair
man of the committee why they desire
protected rights out into the ocean,
Mr.. Osgood said: whoever finds a
good strong clay or rock bottom to
the ocean along that coast will be able
to scoop up gold by the buckets full.
It is there, as sure as you live. 1t has
sunken down into the sands along the
coast, and it has sunken down into the
sands far out into the ocean. There
Is no doubt of it in the minds of those
Of US who have been there and investi-
gated the conditions. The mountain
assures have been contracted by the
extreme cold, and they have been ex-
banded by the summer heat. The rain,
snow and winds have liberated the
gold. and it has been ages and ages
seeping down to its lowest attainable
level. That level is along the coast and
beyond the water line. We want laws
to protect us from each other, in order
that the rights of each man may be
safely defined. We all know that the
gold is there, but we do not want to
be so far from civilization without per
feet understanding Of what we may
do and what we may not do. There is
a highway 60 feet wide, and we want
the privilege of mining across or under
that highway, for it is full Of gold.
The metal is there, in fabulous q1anti-
ties. We must have il, and we want all
Of our individual and collective rights
well defined by law"
