 CHARLES GARFElLO'S GATE

"Thc saddeSt words of tongue or pen Are these IL might have becn.'
 These may not be the exact words of the poet. but the quotation is sui hciently accurate to describe the re- factions of some Alaskans who, sev- eraI years ago. formed the company which backed Dan Dwyer in the de- Nelopment of a prospect in Alaska.
 Dan Dwyer was formerly deputy United States marshal at Nome. He was also a special agent of internal revenue and as such was known here in Juneau by number of men who are still here.
 The original company was compos- ed of Captain Jarvis, Charles Garfield, William Lysons and others in Seattle in 1909. It cost Charles Garfield in the of $500 before his feet began to feel the dampness. and then, along with all the early partners in the project. he dropped out. And now the prospect is mine and Is turning out ore so rich that it is necessary to have the miners. as they come from the workings, undress in one room and walk naked to another. where they dress in their street clothes. lest some of them might conceal q fortune in their pockets.-Juneau Dispatch.
