HOW A CLAIM WAS PAID.
One Way of Getting Money With
out Planning 1t Ont.

There are more ways of making money
off of a claim than panning il out said
an Alaska miner who had some luck with
his pick and shovel. For instance. | knew
a man of means in the Dawson district who
had a claim which had failed TO be as prof
liable as expected, and he didn't know just
what 10 90 with II 10 get his money back
until he had devoted considerable thought
to II. And 1t was simple enough when he
knew how. He quietly went to the Gold
Commissioners and announced that he
wished to pay his 10 per cent royalty on the
product OF his claim FOR a year. which WAS
Sh'.Hti. Tn commissioner accepted the $500
royalty and gave him the usual receipt,
stating on its face what ii was for, with
the number of the claim, location. etc. Then
he waited patiently about like Mary'S lit
tie lamb. and one day. in the course of
human events. an Engiishman came along
looking for a good thing for some people
who had money to spend. He asked AIR.
Blank. among others. what he had to sell.
and the smooth gent told him he didn't
know exactly, but he would show him his
goods. They looked over several claims that
Were practically unworked. and the in a
casual way Alr. Blank showed the Eng
llshman his receipt for royalty on claim so
and so. And. you know he said. with a
wink. that a man isn't paying royalty on
any more than he can possibly help
The EnSIlShman was right on to that
little game. of course. and he sized up the
S6.go receipts. looked over the claim in a
general way and ended by buying IL for
