The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1909-12-24

IN Tie PROSPECTUS CAMP,
tic feature of the Alaska gold
exhibit at the recent Alaska Yu-
kon-Pacific exposition, stood a
II Siberian malamute-very mute
just now, poor fellow, for he has
been long time dead, and it is only
by virtue of the great love he bore
love that was faithful unto death
that his body, in its life-like present
ment, was there in just such a scene
as, living, he might often have had
his part in.
1t is just tale of the north that is
his-the malamute's-a tale of love,
loss, doubt, danger devotion, ad-
venture, adversely, fidelity, fortune
and at the last victory. There was a
man who was going to Monet was
several years ago-and while he lin
sered in a city of the northwest, max
ing his preparations, he fell in with a
little widow, an absolutely nice, capti-
waiting and lonesome little widow of a
doctor who had left her a few thou
sand dollars and daughter, says Isa-
bel H. Raymond in the New York
Tribune.
They married. The man had invest
ed most of his capital in his outfit for
the white north, but that was small
matter; the little woman had some,
and they were going together, and it
would be all his. The doctors
daughter was placed in school and the
Nome. There they made such home
as might be made in those days, by
the tundra side, and though there was
not much else in it there were love
and comfort. For household pet and
companion the man gave to his wife
a young Siberian malamute-that curl
GUS cross between wolf and a dog,
which is sometimes faithful friend
and sometimes savage enemy. This
one. as he grew into shaggy white
symmetry and strength, proved true
gold, and was much beloved by both
the man and the woman
Then there came the Candle creek
rush, that stampede which drove men
to the northernmost gold fields of the
world and half depopulated Nome.
The man and the woman, debating
but briefly. decided that he should
take this chance at fortunes wheel.
So the winter grew, but no word
came out from Candle creek and only
the vast white silence answered the
wordless questions that were asked.
At last she gave way-spring came,
and still no word, and when the first
boat sailed south from Nome the wom-
an, the malamute and the little money
she had left went with it.
The man in the north knew his own
business. Up at Candle creek there
was a camp of half-starved, haggard
men, their quest failure, their num-
bers far too many for the food supply,
no money to pay the price of anything
should miracle bring it their way.
Then, with heavy heart, he sat
down to write to the loved woman
waiting there below, an6 he told her
all this pitiful story-how the fellows
were starving and penniless when he
arrived, and of course he fed them
but they were good fellows, and when
they struck it in the spring there
would be pay and profit for him sure.
Meanwhile she must be patient and
try not to blame him, and he would
surely make good yet; and he sent
her his dear love, and she must not

POOR LOCATION

AS much as Bismarck has grown,
there is still a deplorable scarcity
of downtown rooms suitable for Of
fee purposes, and many firms that
would like to make their headquarters
here have been compelled to either
patiently wait for an opening or tenn
porarily do business in obscure loca.
tions The land firm of J. r. Gill
Breath, C. C. Atkinson and M. G.
Hagen, organized in the early spring,
are passing through this inconven-
fence, and Mr.. Atkinson, who is in
charge here looks forward to the time
when their office near the corner Of
Main and Seventh streets may be
moved into the business portion of the
city. This firm has made several
sales of Hettinger county lands re-
Gently, and Judging from the smiles
worn by the purchasers when they
returned from the famous territory,
it is evident that they were pleased
with their buy.

MANDAN DEPARTMENT

the latter part of this week. They
have a very good program Of motion
pictures and Messrs. Oliver and Ram
frey put up a comedy musical ACT
which is the best.
Another thing which goes to show
that Mandan is destined to be one
of North Dakota's largest and busiest
cities is the scarcity of homes for the
new corners to move into. In spite
of the fact that over fifty new, homes
were built in this city during the
year 1908, it is almost impossible to
find a house for rent.

companied the remains Of her uncle

PROGRESSIVE ADVERTISING.

Some Of our progressive business
houses begin a form of advertising
their business tonight which is not
new in larger centers, but will be
unique here, and particularly SO far
as is known one feature will be
strikingly new. Bismarck should turn
out tonight en- masse On Main street
where it will be given an opportunity
to see the semi-comic pictures thrown
by the lantern on a large screen.
Those who have had a peep at these
views say they are o, K. A taking
feature, however, will be the inter-
spersing with the "ad'' views, real
comic pictures that will make you
laugh. Saturday night is Bismarcks
shopping night and the would-be pur-
chaser will have an opportunity to
note the bargains offered.

Monday. Everybody also knows that
for fourteen years he talked nothing
else but pardon for Joseph Till, con-
victed of murder in this county. The
evidence was pretty strong against
Till, but circumstantial. Morden was
deputy sheriff at the time and in
charge of the prisoner. He became
convinced that Till was innocent ana
followed every clue until he succeeded
in getting together sufficient evidence
and of such nature as to convince
the state pardoning board at its last
session that Till should be Dardoned.
While confined TIL learned three
trades; harnessmaking, shoemaking
and barbering. He Is now engaged
at the shops of the North Dakota
Harness Co., at Fargo. When con-
victed he was but Is years of age
and he is still young man. If there
are two happy men in the state they
are Till and Mr.. Morden, If anything,
the latter the most pleased of the
two.
