Gold was discovered in the Klondike
placer gold district little over a de-
cade ago, since which time the field,
with an area of % by so miles square,
has produced gold to the value of about
$125, 0OO, 900 says q. G. Coal, consul at
Dawson. Nearly all of this has been
mined by the primitive process of pick
and shovel, and washed by the pan, the
rocker, and the sluice box, .
Most Of the placer gravels in this dis
trict are frozen from the surface of bed
rock, which in places is 800 #. deep.
The pioneer miner put down his shaft by
fire made of wood upon the frozen
ground, which thawed it for a few
inches in depth, and the gravel was
then removed and washed, and the
same process repeated until bedrock was
reached; then he drifted along bedrock,
where the richest gravels are found,
using ;thessam@ process of thawing and
washing as before, and hosting the
gravel by a handwindlass; but later
steam was used for thawing and hoist
ing. ~ ~. r.. ..-.-.s
The thawing is now done by steam
points, which are steel-pointed pipes or
tubes of various lengths throurh which
the steam passes, being conveyed by
means of a hose. These points are in
serted slowly into the frozen gravel,
thawing for radius of about fit. to
each point, and to depth of 1 #. per
hour Only the richest gravels were
worked, leaving the greater part of the
ground containing lower grade gravels
not worked, which is estimated to con-
tain as much gold as the ground which
has formerly been worked.
Of recent years the latest improved
mining machinery and appliances are
being used, such as hydraulics dredges
and elevators, and by these improved
methods the same ground is being work
er over again, and also lower grade
gravel of virgin ground, all of which
pays large dividends.

Don't Fight The weather

What great misfortune this is, the
habit of considering the weather-of
thinking that we must consider the
weather. 1t is largely due is it not, to
clotheS2 No mention is made of rain
in the garden of Eden, but we must not
therefore contend that rain was dis
agreeable and omitted. We must re-
collect that Adam and Eve did not need
to consider rain. Furthermore, in bles-
sed ignorance they did not know that
it was anything to be considered.
To mind the rain no more than the
May sunshine, but to plunge into it
and let the drops pelt as they will, to
accept the snow without thought of
discomfort, but, rather, to enjoy the
thronging presence of it; to pursne ones
daily stint regardless of whether the
Sky be dun or blue-this is a state
which we, especially of the cities, long
long have lost.
We regain it, some. of us, in the will
derness camp, where we hunt or fish
# the day be dark or if the day be-
bright. and where we find that the dash
of the soft rain on ones face is not death
after all; that wetness and dryness are
merely relative terms.
All the centuries of fussing and FUN
ing with the weather have not affected
the weather one particle. 1t still rains
and SHOWS and sleets and blows, just as
dictated by circumstances. Therefore,
what's the use? Are your puny diatribes
or mine of any greater potency than
those of others gone before? Evidently
not. Accordingly try the plan of being
friendly with the weather, of agreeing
with it instead of fighting it, and, pom
my ward, presently it will be agreeing
with you.-E. L. Sabin in Lippincott's.
