moment and thought long thoughts.
Then he finished the washing, and
weighed the result in his scales. At
the rate of sixteen dollars to the ounce
the pan had contained seven hundred
and odd dollars. 1t was beyond any
thing that even he had dreamed. His
fondest anticipations had gone no
farther than twenty or thirty thousand
dollars to a claim; but here were
claims worth half a million each at the
least, even if they were spotted.
He did not go back to work in the
shaft that day. nor the next, nor the
next. Instead, capped and mittened,
light stampeding outfit, including his
rabbit skin robe, strapped on his back,
he was out and away on a many-days'
tramp over creeks and divides, in
speeding the whole neighboring terri
tory. On each creek he was entitled
to locate one claim, but he was
chary in thus surrendering up his
chances. On bunker Creek only
did he stake a claim. Bonanza
Creek he found staked from mouth to
source, while every little draw and
pup and gulch that drained into 1t was
likewise staked. Little faith was had
in these side-streams. They had been
staked by the hundreds of men who
had failed to get in on Bonanza. The
most popular of these creeks was
Adams. The one least fancied was
Eldorado, which flowed into Bonanza,
| just above CarmaCks Discovery claim.
Even Daylight disliked the looks of FL
dorado: but. still riding his bunch, he
bought half share in one claim on it
for half a sack of -four. A month
| later he paid eight hundred dollars for
! the adjoining claim. Three months
later. enlarging this block of property,
| he paid forty thousand for a third
| claim, and, though it was concealed
in the future he was destined, not
long after to pay one hundred and
fifty thousand for a fourth claim on
the creek that had been the least liked
of all the creeks.
In the meantime, and from the day
he washed seven hundred dollars from
a single pan, and squatted over it and
thought a long thought, he never again
touched hand to pick and shovel. AS
he said to Joe Ladue the night of that
wonderful washing;
Joe, | amt never going to work

query.

"Flour's sure going to be worth what

On the instant a score of the men
who had declined to accompany him
on the wild-goose chase were crowd
ing about him with proffered gold
sacks.

pany's storekeeper.

He had noted the four quiet men sink

he had heard their whipsaw going as
they made lumber for the sluice boxes.
He did not wait for an invitation, but
he was present the FIRST day they
sluiced And at the end Of five hours
shoveling for one man, he saw them
take out thirteen ounces and half OF
gold. 1t was coarse gold, running from
plnheads to a twelve-dollar nugget,
and it had come from of bedrock.
The first fall snow was flying that day,
and the Arctic winter was closing
down; but Daylight had no eyes for

One day in December Daylight filed

outfit Of -four, arrived at the mouth OF
the Klondike, he found the big fat as
Gesolate and tenantless as ever. Down
close by the river, Chief Isaac and his
Indians were camped beside the
frames on which they were drying sal
mon. Several old-times were also in
camp there. Having finished their
summer work on Ten Mile Creek, they
had come down the Yukon, bound for
Circle City. But at Sixty Mile they
had learned Of the strike and stopped
off to look over the ground. They had
Just returned to their boat when Day
light landed his -four, and their report
was pessimistic. But an hour later,
at his own camp Joe Ladue strobe in
from Bonanza Creek. He led Daylight
away from the camp and men and
told him things in confidence.
