Seattle has attracted the queerest lot OF
fakirs in this country" said a man who has
just returned from there, and | don't believe
that any mining camp in this country can show
a stranger assortment Of men from all parts
Of the world. One might easily draw the con.
clusion that Cape Nome was Sea,iles next.

ders. The utility Of everything for sale seems
to be gagged by the ser vice which il may render
It's owner at Cape Nome. / have seen some
thing of mining camps through the West, and
Seattle is now the clearing house for them all.
Men who have gone broke on their way 10
Alaska and the fields beyond or who have re-
turned from an unsuccessful trip 10 the gold
fields have fallen into the ranks Of the fakirs
from necessity or choice. and some OF them
are smooth enough to persuade you thai a bird
cage Is necessary for a mining ex pedition. 1t
seemed TO me that the chaps who sold the most
worthless articles and who were. therefore,
making the most money. had been trained on
the Bowery or at Coney Island. One such chap
was hawking coarse silk handkcrchiefs with
the statement:
The best thing TO take with you TO Nome!
My celebrated medicated handkerchicfs, which
will cure colds and sore throats! Just te
them around your throats and the medicine
begins TO work"
The fellows nerve suggested Coney Island,
and | spoke 10 him. He started for She gold
fields a year ago with three other Coney Island
men who had made n strike on the faces. and
when he reached Seattle h. concluded that it
was soft enough for him, and he STAYED there.
