+, ne SAID TO Joe Ladue the night Of that
wonderful washing:
Joe, amt never going to work
hard again. Here's where I begin to
use my brains. I'm going to farm gold.
Gold will grow gold if you-all have
the savvee and can get hold of some
for seed. When I seen them seven

The hero of the Yukon in the
younger days before the Carmack
strike, Burning Daylight now became
the hero of the strike. The story of
his bunch and h@w he rode it was
told up and down the land. Certainly
he had ridden it far and away beyond
the boldest, for no five of the luckiest
held the value in claims that he held.
And, furthermore, he was still riding
the bunch, and with no diminution of
daring.
Back in Dawson, though he remained
true to his word and never touched
hand to pick and shovel, he worked as
| hard as ever in his life. He had a
| THOUSAND irons in the fire, and they
kept him busy. Heavy as were his
expenses, he won more heavily. He
took lays, bought half shares, shared
with the men he grub-staked, and made
personal locations. Day and night his
dogs were ready, and he owned the
fastest teams; SO that when a stam-
pede to new discovery was on, it was
! Burning Daylight to the fore through
the longest, coolest nights till he
blazed his stakes next to Discovery.
In one way or another (to say nothing
Of the many worthless creeks) he
came into possession Of properties on
the good creeks, such as Sulphur, Do,
minion, Excelsis, Siwash, Cristo, Al
hambra and Doolittle. The thousands
he poured out flowed back in tens of
thousands.
Dawson grew rapidly that winter Of
1896. Money poured in on Daylight
from the sale of town lots. He prompt
ly invested it where it would gather
more. In fact, he played the danger
Gus game of pyramiding, and no more
perilous pyraLliding than in a placer
camp could be imagined. But he
played with his eyes wide open.
Corner lots in desirable locations
sold that winter for from ten to thirty
| thousand dollars. Daylight sent word
out over the trails and passes for the
newcomers to bring down log-rafts,
and, as q result, the summer of 1897
saw his saw rr r~rzing day and
night, or 81 I he had

from forty to fifty thousand dollars
apiece These fresh accretions of cap

over, until everything that he touched

With the summer rush from the Out

doomed the largest figure in Alaska. OF
course, after several months, the
world became interested in the Span

Might Have Been Worse.

A clerk in a Washington street hotel
says the Boston Traveller. tells this
story: my first hotel job was in a
Texas city. One morning a guest who
had been celebrating unwisely the
night before swayed up to the desk
and asked for some information. His
name was Colonel Hawkins. and he
was the soul Of politeness under all
circumstances. And this morning he
was looking worried. Frank he whis-

Another great government has
placed much dependence upon death
as a deterrent to imitators Of IT'S
promises to pay. When Jacob Perkins
Of Newburyport. Mass. invented the
method Of transferring designs from
hardened steel plates to steel cylinders
and retransferring to fiat plates, thus
enabling the engraver to devote the
time necessary to accomplish his best
work in the original and reproduce Il
at will. the new process aroused in.
ternational interest. Mr.. Perkins and
his associates went to London In 1919.
at the instance OF the British minister
at Washington. to help the Bank of
England issue notes not easily coun.
terfeited. But the conservative old
bank refused to adopt the new method.
preferring. as one Of the Americans
said. to rely upon the hangman rather
than the engraver. Nevertheless, the
English began In time to follow Amer

art and indus
record that fact would be incomplete.
Paul Revere was the first American
bank note artist, and from the time Of
the chartering OF the Bank OF North
America under the direction OF Rob
ert Morris. 1881. up to tie present.
American cngravers have excelled not
only In the artistic quality OF their de-
signs, but in their provisions against
counterfeiting.
The American style Of bank note
has become the standard in the coun-
tries of Central and South America.
The experience OF the Brazilian gov
ernment led the way In this. after
various disappointments. First the
much vaunted Austrian system was
tried. the notes being engraved and
printed In England under that system.
They proved complete failure. Coun-
terfeiters fiourished. The Brazilians
tried bank notes made In France, and
these were promptly and extensively
initiated as soon as the counterfeiters
could get their plates and paper ready.
Brazil tried German and English estab-
lishments. but still without securing
protection to the bank note circula-
ton, and at last turned to the United
States and found type Of bills prac-
tically impossible to counterfeit. So
It is no boast but mere record OF
fact to state that Americans make the
best bank notes In the world.
The governments Of continental Eu-
rope depend exclusively upon color
work to protect their paper currency,
and several Of the large banks OF is
sue have civil engineers in charge Of
their bureau of engraving and print
ing-though what connection there
may be between engineering and en-
craving is a mystery. Many italian
bank notes are easy to counterfeit.
The Bank Of Spain has Of late aban-
doned its own plant. because Its notes
were initiated SO successfully that
countereits were accepted by the
bank without question. A private con-
cern now does the work. The Bank
OF Greece now uses the American
method. having had sad experiences
with notes of Austrian, German and
English fashioning.
A myth that probably will never die
tells Us that the notes Of the Bank Of
England cannot be counterfeited. As
q matter Of fact. they can be initiated
readily enough, for little attempt Is
made to protect the notes beyond the
use Of a water mark paper. The wa
ter mark can be easily copied. Never
theless. the shadow Of the hangman
still seems to deter English counter
feiters.
The custom of circulating soiled
bank notes. Of course. gives the coun-
terfeiter his best opportunity. For
gerry is much more readily detected
in a crisp. stiff. new bill than in q
rumpled and dirty one. The United
