LOUSY WITH GOLD

Council, Dec. 2S.-A rich quartz strike has been made on Norton bay, near Carson's roadhouse, l2 miles from the mission. The ledge, which is free milling, was located last September by Capt. Harry Chester, who was grub staked by the de Soto Mining Co. Re- gently development work was begun with results that were astonishing. A large number of samples were brought from the ledge to Council, every one of which was spotted with gold. The ledge is ten feet wide. As conse- quence of the strike quite stampede is now on from Council, Chinik and Norton bay points.

express company's records reached S11,655,O00. Mr. Miles estimates tha tho total shipments this year will az gregate $9,800,OOO. Should this prove true, the total shipments of this veal will be $1, ,S55,O0 less than last year This is very significant fact of tho staying power of the Klondike. Fol six weeks this summer the camp wa: without water on nearly every one o the hundreds of gold bearing creeks and hillsides and benches. Hundreds of men were discharged because of the impossibility of washing dirt and real izing returns from the gold as soon as it was taken from the earth, and thou sands of acres are kept idle by conces siOns.
 As result the seasons output sui. fers. Were it not for these things the Klondike's showing for this year perhaps would have remained where il was last year. This is one of the strong. est commentaries on the camp. especi. ally in view of the fact that in not more than one or two other seasons has the output been maintained at such com. paratively even level.
 It is believed by many that with a favorable season for water and with the great quantity of hydraulic, dredging and steam shovel machinery introduced this year the camp will hold its own, ii not make big strides in the output next year. Reports coming from all the creeks are to the effect great deal o1 work will be done this winter.
 The water failed to come at oppor. tune times on some of the creeks this summer, and dumps which were taken yet and may not be for another year. The dryness of this summer was extra. ordinary, but perhaps served as 8 profit. able factor in impressing on operators, big and little, and the government the necessity of giant water system for the service of the Klondike creeks.
 The shipments from Dawson in Sep. tember of this year reached Sl,573.577. In September of last year they were sl, ,S69,0 This gives September oi last year lead of $295, ,493.

MAN WHO DESERVES PITY.

He Who 1s Com peIIed to Eat Rsstau-
rant Brsakfasts TO BE cOnsoIed.
A plea for pity IL entered by an east
ern Journal on behalf of the unfortu-
nate man who through the summer
months Is forced to eat a restaurant
breakfast or wait until luncheon time
to break his fast. And the commisera-
ton is solicited because someone has
complained that restaurant keepers do
not give the amount Of attention to
serving the days first meal that they
do to the two later ones. There are
no hard and fast figures at hand to
prove that this is so, but II is rather
a general conclusion that left-overs
from the day before are used for the
first comers and that this Ii hardly
square dealing.
Then, besides the matter Of food be-
ing none too fresh, there is complaint
that there Is much Of setting to rights
In the restaurants during the hour one
wishes to take breakfast, which ere
ates a confusion calculated to make
even an appetizing meal unenjOyable.

With these complaints at hand, then,
It seems we shall all have to take it
for granted that there's q foundation
Of fact for them and do what we can
to impress 1t upon restaurant keepers
that their 6rst duty in summer is tc

AN HONEST MAN.

He Refused TO Profit by careisssuess
In Recording Rarly TPausferA.
An incident. which exhibits the sterl-
ing integrity Of man who could with
stand the temptations Of wealth rather
than do the smallest act of Injustice,
is told in II. NJ. Chittenden's History
OF Steamboat Navigation on the Mis-
souri, River" The principal actor was
one of the early settlers OF st. Louis.
a Mr.. LeBarge, who had purchased d
small tract Of land for which he paid
twenty-five dollars.
Land was then of very little value,
and transfers were often made without
deed and with no more formalltY than
In exchanging cattle or horses. In
this way Mr.. LeBarge traded his land
on what Is now Clair street, st. Louis,
to Chaurin Lebeau for a horse.
Long years afterward, when these
transactions were almost forgotten,
and the property had become very
valuable. a lawyer presented himsclf
to the old gentleman and asked him
If he had ever owned any land on
Cedar street. Mr.. LaBarge replied In
the affirmative, and described Its local
ity. The lawyer then asked him when
and how he disposed of It. He could
not at first recall, but Mrs. LeBarge
remembered the circumstances and re-
lated them to the lawyer, at the same
time remarking to her husband that
that was the way they got their horse
to set themselves up on the farm with.
The lawyer then assured Mr. Le-
Barge that the title to this property
was still vested In him, and that he
could hold 1t against all comers, for
there was absolutely no record Of the
conveyance In existence.
The old gentleman, with look Of
Indignation, asked the lawyer II he
took him for q thief.
II traded that land" said he, ito
Chaurin Lebeau for horse, which
was worth more to me than the land
was. shall stand by the bargain
now. If Chaurin Lebeau's heirs have
no title, tell them to come to me and
I will make them a deed before l die"
