Retfospection.

It was a mixed, wild rush of four thousand incompetents hat princi- pally composed the c pper river stampede of ninety-eight. Many seemed to be inspired with the only desire to fully gorge their sensual appetites in the trough of life's cornucopia, while the chief ambi- tion of others was to more freely absent themselves from eternal servitude of civilization-customs that make servants of us all-even to the demands of etiquette. Those, with very few prospectors, com posed a decided minority, while the great majority was composed of avaricious dreamers who pro- claimed themselves as sordid dol lar chasers. There were also men of talent and virility, who realized that they were on their way to sacrifice all, including love and domestic happiness among those mountains of solitude for the filthy lucre called gold. The strenuous spirit was in evidence as a tangible reality, and, no doubt, in the delirium of their dreams that spirft-haunted with ominous sounds of clinking coin and the metallic laughter of grimacing goblin ac- countants. There, tragedy and comedy, morality and vice travelled the same trail with hope and dis couragement, love and hatred. The exaggerated reports of fabulous wealth in that unknown district caused hundreds of irresponsibles to migrate thither and to be finally caught in the mad whirling vortex of vice.
 The warmth of spring broke the trail, opened yawning crevasses on the glacier and the belated of the procession were caught on the shores of Valdez bay, to mill round and round, like cattle, and when they knocked at those gigantic mountain barriers for admittance to the interior, they answer back as did Longfellow's clock on the stairs, but in thunderous tones of the a, alanche:
 'Never forever,
 Forever never"
 The faint-hearted returned and declared that trail could never be built into the interior without crossing a glacier. but today the few ninety-eighters that remain realize that not only a trail, but telegraph and cable lines terminate at Valdez, while wild fowls have gone to more secluded spots and the waters of Valdez bay presents an animated commercial appear ance where in the fall of ninety eight no boat disturbed its placid surface for three long months, and where no sound was heard but the call of the coot and the screech of the loon. The old-timer, by con- meeting the past with an almost visible future can readily discern the inevitable which proclaims that that the shores of this sound will become the greatest copper produc- ing locality of the world, and where will be the largest smelters and greatest activity on western waters. The midnight sun of June will ever illumine golden hued mountain spires, not alone for spectacular effect. but with apparent electrical energy, beacon like. will those tips ever announce that they obey an imperious mandate to alternately keep vigil, with the Alaskan aurora of winter, over the most precious treasure vaults of the world.
