KLONDIKE PLACER OUTPUT

George C. Cole. United States
consul. writes from Dawson.
Alaska, as follows:
What is kno gn as the Klondike
placer mining district has pro-
duced Sl50,00O,OO0 in gold since
1898, and mining experts estimate
he amount yet to be mined equal
to that already produced. How
ever, as the remaining gravel is
of lower grade. the work must he
done by machinery, and for this
purpose 20 dredges are in operation
this season, as we'll as a number
of hydraulic plants. There are 10
large minidg companies operating
here, the principal one having 10
drcdges and a large hydraulic
plant, and it has invested over
SIT, 100000 in the district. There
are also 6 incorporated companies
operating for gu ritz in the district
but little has been milled, although
some high grade ore has been found.
The gold production of the
district for 1909 was 1856, ,985,
an increase over 1908 of 1907, ,32l,
and the indications are that the
production in 1910 will exceed
that of 1909. This golu. with the
exception of small quantity sent
to the new Canadian mint. was
all shipped to the United States,

PETROVEUM FINDS

Canada was once large producer
of petroleum, and there are indi-
cations that the Canadian North
west may yet take an important
place as source of the worlds 5
supply. Calicia, where the output
had been arout 100000 barrels,
suddenly developed in 1896 a
product Of 100000 barrels, and
has since trcbled that amount.
Roumania's output has also grown
greatly in a dozen years, and the
Dutch fields in BUrncO are increas-
ing their product Petroleum is
found also in Mexico, Germany, Pc
ru, Italy. Turkey, Pcrsia, Egypt,
Algeria, Burmah, New Zealand,
FOrmusa and in the coastal region
Of Alaska, while no one can guess
when immensely rich deposits may
be struck in parts of the United
States hitherto not important
contributors to the worlds supply.
Our .onsul Mt Bagdad reports
within a few months important
developments in the oil fields at
thc hcnd of the Persian gulf, where
the belt is believed to extend for
10000 miles. Our consul at Vera
Cruz reported two years ago that
Mexico was destined to become an
important producer of petroleum.
An English company was then
operating wells and erecting
rrfncrics. while an American
company was also active. Reports
also came from India that large
and hitherto untouched deposits Of
petroleum we're shortly to be
tapped, while the consul who sent

Made A Fortune

Yesterday afternoon when the shift
i'll the various mines came from work
the usual crowd collected in front of
Harry Epstine's brokerage office to OBJ
serve the closing stock quotations. One
of the men, after taking notice of the
advance in Belmont, threw down his
lunch basket and exclaimed that he had
worked his last shift. Investigation
proved that he was one of the fortunate
persons who had got in on Belmont be-
fore the advance. He had invested his
savings in the stock which had more
than trebled in value.
The abandoned lunch bucket seemed
to create considerable interest and re-
manned on the sidewalk for several
hours. The crowd that was present in
the brokerage office rendered their con
gratulations to the lucky miner, who
after today, will be in position to lead
a life of ease.-Tonopah Bonanza.

AN OPEN CONFESSION

A millionaire who makes his
home in Philadelphia, in addressing
a Chicago audiencea day or two ago
said: eve can't get rich in life
time nowadays without robbing
the people. / have made my money
that way, and my firm is still doing
it. However, I have to recover my
consciene and | am going to de-
vote my swag to doing away with
the accursed system which makes
it possible. This is the case of
Rockefeller, too, and the case of
Carnegie and lot of others who
are fixing the kind of penance they
shall do for the wrongs they have
practiced upon the people.
There is part of this millionaire's
statement that is not literally true,
that one can't get rich in lifetime
but it depends altogether upon what
is meant by the word ERICH"
Of course, if it means acquiring
possession of millions, it is true,
but a man can be rich without mil
lions, but he cam make millions in a
lifetime without stealing it, unless
he takes it out of the earth, or
finds it in the sea.-Tonopah Bonan-

nent for Canary

An odd story of bird friendship.
Vouched for as true, was told by a
friend the other day:
MY sister," said the friend. has a
canary. Every day, when the weather
Is fine, she puts its cage out on the
porch where 1T can enjoy the sunlight
and the air. She has kept this up for
30 many months. putting the cage al.
ways In the same place, that the
canary has made friends with tho
sparrows who live near by. .-
In nesting time, myself have
seen the canary tear bits of paper
from the floor of It's house and push
them out to the sparrows. who use
them In building their nests. When
the winter Is at its height, and food
Is scarce, have seen the sparrows
hop Familiarity up on the outside of
the canary's cage, and help themselves
from Its seed cups. In return they bring
bits OF string and horsehair which
they have gathered, and push Thorn
through the wire bars to the canary.
These are quite useless to the little
yellow singer, but II seems to ap-
preciate the spirit in which they are
given just the same"
