THE LURE or GOLD
FORTUNE HUNTERS INVADE
TERRA DEL FUEGo.
The Most Desolate Spot on
Earth Taking on Haley
on Aspect Of Fris-
co in '49.

The world is using more gold and
mining more gold than ever before in
its long history since the glitter of
the yellow metal first caught the hui
man eye. AS each new gold field has
opened up it has found the hordes Of
adventurers ready to risk life and
comfort to invade its territory and
win If possible the riches which lay
hidden away in the soil Alaska, far
to the north, was the last Eldorado,
and now it is Terra del Fuego, far to
the south, for it is said that this land
south of the southern end of South
America separated only by the
Straits of Magellan, is rich in gold
Had Ferdinand Magellan, after
whom the straits were named. ever
dreamed, when his ships grated on
the shoals of the stormy straits that
they had crunched into sands of gold,
the great circumnavigatOr would in
all likelihood have gone no further.
But he knew nothing of the treasure
that was under foot and it remained
undiscovered and unsupported until

After the days of Pepper, an Anglo
Austrian, who developed much of the
gold land things languished. Organ
lied labor ceased. Chaos and the ele-
ments resumed their reign The
country had never comprehended it's
wealth and resources. It merely had
assumed there was gold all over the
surface of the country, but too thin
to pay. Everything lay hidden, await
ing the man, and the man eventual
ly appeared in the person of Lieut..
Edison w. Stuphen, a young Knicker-
booker graduate from Annapolis in
1882. In visit to Terra del Fuegos
he got vision Of possibilities, and
after awaiting his opportunities, re-
turned thither.

south land Following many preliD,-
mary borings, announcements and
claims, the best gold bearing lands
were silently secured. Everything of
promise was taken in without opposi-
ton or suspicion on pioneer govern
ment mining grants. Sutphen suf-
fered little competition and no ri
valry.
There is but one dredge as yet in
Terra del Fuego, but another, a $780,
600 structural steel monster, the
largest of its kind ever made, is on
the way, under charge and construc-
ton of Sutphen's right-hand man, Capt
Albert Burstine, formerly of the navy
This dredge has a minimum digging
capacity of 200 cubic yards of gravel
per hour to. depth of 40 feet. The
old dredge, running steadily night and
day ia eight-hour shifts, sluices
through 200 cubic yards of gravel per
hour to depth of 20 feet Both ma
chimes are steel throughout.
Sutphen ran his dredge full blast
all the while, and the news went trav-
cling broadcast to the gold mining
fraternity throughout the world
Word came from prospectors that all
was velyet-gold plentiful and more
accessible, with wood, coal and water
handler than elsewhere ia the mining
world, the Transyaal and Alaska not
excepted. Naturally, upon the heels
of such tidings every ship brought
throngs of mining experts, engineers
and capitalists, and Sandy Point re-
sembles now the halcyon days of
Frisco in 49, its town-Punta Arenas
being a booming place owning water
and electric outfits and in telegraphic
touch with the outer world.
All the gold so far secured IN Fue-
go, by much wear and erosion, shows

where 1t first cooled and set. When
gold goes travelling it is with the rush
of water or ice, and when gold has

Some time ago at the Crookston q.
S. land Office. when Miss Vashti Gil
patrick, OF Warroad. offered her final
proof to the officials, the fact was
brought out that it had bsen generally
advertised throughout tho country
that school teachers were allow ed spe-
cial privileges with regard to the time
that they were required to live On
their claims in order to obtain clear
titles to the land.
She was very frank in stating the
time that she had resided on the land,
thinking that she had met oil the re-
quirement sin tho best of faith. The
proof was turned down at the general
land Office, but notice has been re-
ceived at the Crookston Office that she
will be allowed to file on the land
again. which will in the end make
the land hers. The case is q sample of
how strict the officials of the govern.
ment are at the present time in max
ing those who want government land
live up to all the requirements of the
law before they obtain title to it,.
This was. nevertheless. a very an
fortunate one, as the young lady had
acted to the best of her knowledge
and Judgment. She will make entry
on the land at once and start her resi-
deDce on the valuable tract that she
hopes to soon call her own.
