ent system of the Vanderbilt railroads.
He was very shy, and modest almost
to a fault. He was absolutely loyal
to his friends: was very solicitous Of
the opinion Of every one with whom
he was brought in contact. and would
never permit himself to indulge In an
outburst of temper. Yet rUtwith-
standing these qualities, he was .
man of great firmness when once be
was convinced that he was right In
any matter, though his apparently
gentle method Of insisting upon recog-
milton of his prerogatives often led
even persons who knew him fairly
we'll to misjudge his character In
this respect. The little story | am
going to relate to you is case In
point.
When Mr.. Vanderbilt succeeded
his father as directing authority Of
the New York Central system. init
mate relations had been maintained
for years between the Vanderbilt fam
lily and one of the Oldest trust insti-
buttons of New York. This intimacy
dated back to the days Of the Commc
dore himself. and Cornelius Wander
bilt. as the head of the family. en-
couraged and maintained 1t. Imag-
inc his surprise. therefore. when the
late Edward King. president Of The
institution, said to Mr.. Vanderbilt
one day that he was anxious that .
gentleman Of high financial standing
with whom 1t was generally known
that Mr. Vanderbilt was not on frieno-
ly terms, should be elected to oil .
vacancy in the board Of directon q
the trust company. No other name
could have been more distasteful %
Mr.. Vanderbilt: still. in his character
istically gentle manner he ventures
to protest against the selection OF the
man.
1T is my view he said, that N
the directorate Of an important bank
ing institution such as ours Is there
should be as far as possible compiete
cordially and harmony among the
various members. Certainly. there
should not be elected to the director
ate any one with whom another al
rector cannot hold personal commu'
nication.
Now, you would suppose. WOULDN'T
you," continued Mr.. Clarke. that :
plea Of that kind would have been SUI
ficient to cause Mr.. King to change
his mind about wanting the man On
the board of directors? But It wasn't;
Mr.. King was 'sot' on having his OWL
way. The man was elected director
and because Mr.. Vanderbilt made no
further complaint of any sort. me
King speedily became convinced thai
Mr.. Vanderbilt had become reconciieo
to his friends election. to Mr.. kinss
inward satisfaction.
But. how gravely mistaken MI
King was in his estimate Of Mr.. van
derbilt's character was made plan
to US who knew Cornelius vanderpin
and his ways we'll when, following the
reading of his will after his deats
in 1899, It was discovered that BY
codicil he had transferred a most I'm

established with Mr.. Kings company

which, while 1t Is not a very large
one, is rich In ore. But l will tell
you something In regard to this gold
mine Of mine that believe to be as
true as that l am talking and walk
ing with you this minute. That mine.
sir, is significant Of what is In store
for Alaska. No experienced prospec-
tor could be found who would say
that a gold mine like this one near
Sitka Is merely an isolated outcrop-
ping of gold. No, sir. 1t indicates
the presence Of vast and rich de-
posits Of gold somewhere. although
the outcroppings may not be found
within a hundred or several hundred
miles of the mine"
up there. in the remote north
west" he said. I'VE are going to find
the mother lode of gold. whence flow
all the currents of gold that ran
southerly through the entire Rocky
mountain basin. I am perfectly con-
WINGED Of it. In my opinion. the
peninsula of Alaska some day. and
most probably in the very near fu-
ture. is to be revealed as one of the
richest gold bearing regions in the
entire world. l am now of too ad-
vanced years personally to visit and
make explorations of that territory.
There are younger men who will at
tend to that-in fact. are doing this
work now. / shall not be surprised
to hear any day of rich gold discov-
cries made by some of them Then
will follow gradual but certain ex-
ploration until. at last, the mother
lode Is found. And because l believe
all this-because my miners training
tells me implicitly that this is 30 and
leads me to make to you this prophe-
cy of gold suppose 1t has been
said Of me that the little gold mine
in which I am interested has caused
me to change my views on bimetal-
lism."
1t was only a little more than a
year after my conversation with Sen
ator Jones that the world was star
tied with the first reports telling of
wonderful discoveries of gold in the
Yukon district Of Alaska. Today,
Alaska is one Of the worlds princi-
pal sources Of the yellow metal. And
the development of the territory is
in its infancy.
