One Alaskan Story That Had a Happy

This is the story of Alexander
Mcdonald, one of the best-known
characters in the Yukon Valley. He
is a great, numbering 5cotchman-
born in Nova Scotia-who up to the
time of the Klondike discoveries never
had any idea OF winning a greater
fortune than that of a day laborer.
He worked from mining camp to
mining camp along the Northwest.
So slow was he and so awkward in
his work-his feet entirely IN his way
and his bulk a misfit for the size Of
prospect holes that he MRS reputed
never to be able to hold a job for
longer than three weeks. He was at
Dawson shortly after the first loca-
tions were made on the klondike. lie
went out with numerous stampedes,
but never arrived in time to locate a
paying claim. Finally he stumbled
across a newspaper man named Hunt,
who had a claim on Bonanza Greek.
hunt had become discouraged because
he had not the funds necessary to de-
yclop it, This claim Mcdonald pur-
chased for $500 and set about develop
Ig it in his usual slow and almless
.c-hion.
Finding the claim fairly rich he
put on a force Of laborers, and in a
few weeks had taken $4,000, This
sum he used Immediately to purchase
other claims. All that year he bought
ght and LETT everything Of any
promise that was offered 70 him, often
mortgaging the claims thus bought tc
buy still other ground. Many Of the
ventures came to naught, but few
gave such phenomenal returns that he
speedily took the rating OF a million
ire. Out OF one claim on El Dorado
Creek he shoveled $4,000 in twelve
hours To-day he is PROBABLY worth

Many others came to success; one
