Why People Rush Into the Kondike
in Search of Wealth.

In telling of Colorado company
formed to take gold at Cape Nome
Alaska, the Colorado Springs Gazette
says:
The gold output for the last year
was $2,3O0,000. For this year IL is
variously estimated that the output
will exceed $15,00O,00O. Numerous
cases have been reported where indi
vidual fortunes Of $4,000 and up
wards have been made during the past
year, and the scope Of the mineralized
territory there is so great that it will
take years to even prospect it thor
oughly,

for sail at all. No. l is reported to

Denver engineer who came to Nome
and turned miner was able to send
his wife 200 pounds in gold for pres
ent last Christmas, which was worth
about $4,000. A stranded medical
student aided two miners who after
ward died and left him their claims.
He took $4,000 out of one claim and
refused $4,000 for a second. A Swede
who had lost a foot from exposure 10
the elements settled on a claim and
later forwarded $50 pounds of gold to
the San Francisco Mint. A new Jcr-
sey man prospected the district with
$500 in his pocket. The property he
secured is now worth $500 900. He
has already sent $4,000 to the San
Francisco Mint. A Lutheran mission
airy located in the region has claims
valued at $25OOO0. One young news
paper man who was penniless gained
5000 in eight days, G. D. Lane, one
of the richest men at Nome, has 1,4O0
pounds of gold awaiting shipment to

Of The mining industry, the chances
all pointed TO the retirement Of
Mr.. Shoup. The combined
forces Of the Democrats, Silver
Republican and Populists were
great enough TO overcome, by
many thousands votes, the Re
pnblicans Of the State. A popo-
ulist now occupies seat in the
Senate as Mr.. Shoup's colleague
and everyone here believed when
the Fifty fifth Congress met, that
within four years Idaho would
send to the Senate another Popu-
list. But George l.. Shoup led
forlorn hope in the St. Louis
convention Of 1896. His former
colleague, Fred Dubois, at the
head Of the Idaho delegation, bade
farewell to the Republican party
and led all his fellow delegates
out OF the convention. Senator
Shoup, then, az now, the member
of the National Republican COM
nittee from Idaho, left his seat
on the platform and walked down
10 the seats set apart for the del
egates from his State.
For many years George L.
Shoup has been the foremost
figure in Idaho. He has worked
| for the advancement of the Ter
ritory and the State with an ia
dustry and a persistence seldom
seen among public men. And il
is not only because Of his work
for the public veal that he is the
most popular man in Idaho today
but because every miner, every
prospcctor and every working
man within its borders know
| that no man in need ever went tc
the "Grubstake Senator" in vain
He has probably fitted out more
| prospectors "on tick" than any
trader ever did before. Hun,
dreds, even thousands, of the pic
neers of the mining States in tn
inter- mountain region acknow
ledge that they owe their start ii
life to the kindly, blue eyed maj
whose term Of Office will expire
next year, unless he is reelected
4 That he will be returned nov
seems more than probable. Fol-
more than a year his State ha
enjoyed unparalleled prosperity
The agricultural industry has; dc
veleped enormously, miners arr
; at work at good wages. Rail
roads are being constructed read
lily and everything points to tn
continuance of the prospcrit
which is today as great as the dc
preston Of 81 was extreme
And with prosperity Idaho ma,
be regarded as safely Republican
Among his colleagues an

is no more popular man in Con
