the treatment of the prisoners in the
federal jail at Sitka. When there are
no ships in port the inmates Of the
jail are let out to haul water and
chop wood No guards are necessary,
because they would surely starve If
they ran away. 1t is altogether too far
from civilization for man to think
Of making his way without provisions
or means Of transportation. Several
men have tried 1t and were glad to
come back. But the situation is not
without its agreeable features for the
prisoners, for. although 1t is against the
rules. the fishermen among them some
times manage TO watch over q pole and
line near where they are working. and
1t Is even said that the ball players

Teh scapegoat son of down East
preacher drifted into the Klondike to
make new try at life. He had
sown enough wild oats where he came
from to make bOuntiful crop of re-
morse. and it would seem that one
who had played so hard and fast with
good opportunities would hardly be en-
titled to hit upon the best claim in
thousand. But he did. He took the
precious stuff out at a rate that was
astonishing and broke the record for
rlotous living. His good resolves
couldn't stand prosperity.
Many who are well schooled in the
craft of hunting gold may stumble
over 1t, while the uninitiated often run
right into 1t. The man who was re-
sponsible for the discovery of the rich
est fields in the North tramped over
them for years. vainy seeking his for
tune, and finally came out with hardly
enough money to pay his way home.
Before the ship reached Seattle he was
robbed of the last dollar he had in the
y
Californian who had tackled the frozen
North with less than 500 and had no
experience, who had $4,000 worth Of
nuggets to show what his luck had
done for him. All signs fail in n dry
time. and no man can tell much about
the hiding place Of gold.
In 1890 French Canadian named
Joe Juneau wandered up Silver Bow
basin. the beautiful canyon back Of
the town which bears his name. HS
panned the first gold from field that
has enriched the world by many mil
lions and which will continue to con-
tribute to Its wealth for many years
to come. Juneau was one of those
fearless characters who helped to con-
Quer the wilderness. He was a path
finder in the full sense of the word,
yet he died penniless. When the news
came to Juneau that the old man was
dead In Dawson and It became known
that his last wish was 70 be buried on
the mountain overlooking the town
that was named for him the money
was quickly subscribed to bring his
body to the spot where he said he
wanted to wait for the Judgment.
Idioms of the North.
The people Of New England, as well
as those of Dixie. have distinction
In their language. and so do the resi-
dents Of the far North. Many words
are in use here that are not known
elsewhere. When person arrives he
is not known as a newcomer. but is
mentioned as "chee-chowker." A pi-
oneer Is not known by that name. but
Is called sour dough" Anyone who
has braved the hardships of one winter
in the gloomy arctic can then take to
himself the honor Of being ''sour
dough-" The word for move on" is
"mush' This odd word Of command
originated with the dog drivers. The

Ketchikan, Alaska. Correspondence:
Frontier life lost none of its flavor
when the trail Of the American pioneer
swerved from the West to the North
The fortune hunter lost none of the
perils Of his calling when he aban-
doned the train of the setting sun to
go In pursuit of the north star. But
Of the arctic than he did to the vicls-
STUDIES Of the desert. He follows each
stream as long as it's sands will show
color Of gold. and the Goals Of his camp
fire are hardly dead before there is Il
town site where he pitched his tent.
The way is hard on account of nature
resistance to his encroachments upon
her domain. but the result Is always
the same-he triumphs and goes bold
ly onward. Everything in this world
has its price and the gold hunting men
Of the North must pay In some coin for
the privilege of the trail.
The loose way in which fortune
filings her favors is unaccOuntable. One
night some bunko men of the gold
fields sold a tenderfoot an old claim
that was supposed to be worthless.
The knowing ones said they would not
have it as Il gift. When the raw East
erner took possession of his property
he was the butt of many jokes How
ever, the swindlers and the iokers soon
laughed out of the other corner of
their mouths, for their dupe began tax
ing such quantities of dust out of the
abandoned claim that it soon turned
out to be bonanza. Up to this time
it has paid him nearly 100000.
