How Harry Whitney Spent his
First Long Artic Night.

Our camp at Annoctok was estab-
lished in a miniture shack, construt-
ed of packing boxes by DR.. Frederick
A. Cook, the explorer. This had
been his home during the previous
winter. 1t was here l spent the try
ing months of the long Artic night,
varying the tedious existence with
short sledging journeys, during
moonlit periods, in search of reindeer
and bears.
These journeys gave us sufficient
exercise to preserve healthful con-
dition Of mind and body. No words
can adequately describe the awful
pail of the Attic night. It is unreal
and terrible. The continued darkness
brings with it a fearful stiffness, over
which seems to brood impending
doom-something intangible, hides
cribable, uncanny. The only sound
that ever breaks the quiet is the oc-
casional cracking of a glacier, with
the report Of mighty thunder, start
ling and unexpected. Intense and
severe as the cold may be, any act
i've man can stand it without serious
suffering, for that acts only on the
physical being, and can be guarded
against; but the prolonged, sunless
night has a dire effect upon the mind
which only exercise and diversion
can counterfeit.
1t may be imagined, then, with
what thankfulness we greeted the
first hint of dawn, when it finally APP
peafed, with its suggestion Of the
blessed light of day. At length the
sun raised his head above the eastern
horizon, to instill new life and vigor
into our half-torpid minds and bodies.
With each return he grew holder,
raising his face higher into the heav-
ems and remaining longer, and then
began-to plan my hunting trips for
musk OK. From Hunting in the Ar
tic, |" by Harry Whitney, in the De
cember Outing.

FINDS GOLD NINE
IN Ills BACK YARD
Man Discovers Rich Stratum
of Sand While Sinking
Well. in Alameda

ALAMEDA, Sept. S.-Gold bearing
sand, assaying from $50 to $50 a ton,
was found by Samuel Skelly at depth
of So feet in his back yard at 1885
Webster street. The discovery was
made while Skelly was boring a well.
He has decided to give up we'll boring
and go to mining. The we'll was being
sunk with a pneumatic drill invented
by Skelley. and the depth at which the
gold bearing sand was found was
reached in a few hours work
When the gold bearing sand was
brought to the surface, Skelly. who has
had experience in mining, noticed the
glittering ore, but paid little attention
to it at the time, believing that the
quantity was so small that it would
not pay to work the mine. Upon Sec
ond thought Skelly decided to have the
sand assayed.
Il struck the gold bearing stratum
So feet below the surface said
Skelly- TT lies upon bank of yellow
clay and beneath. stratum of white
sand about foot thick. The gold
bearing stratum of sand is about IS
inches thick. The formation is that of
beach, and as rich gold deposits were
found on the beach at Nome in SINH
lar formation the outlook for gold
mine in my back yard is encouraging
If there is enough of this gold bearing
sand in the vicinity it is my opinion
that 1t will pay to work it,
