CARELESS HANDLING OF GOLD

DERSONS who are accustomed to observe
: the extreme care with which bankers
handle gold would be astonished by the lax
methods of the men who risk their lives for
the precious metal in sparsely settled regions
where it is mined.
In the log cabins in which K1ondikers live
it has to take its chance along with boots,
cooking utensils, and provisions, waiting to
be transported by the most expeditions
route. Any receptacle, it seems, is good
enough to hold gold. Old tobacco cans and
fruit and vegetable cans stand full of nuggets
on the shelves, and sacks of golddust are
flung upon the floor.
On one occasion little pack train of three
mules brought to Dawson City one hundred
and twenty thousand dollars worth of gold
in common sacks, over which the mule
driver, acting on his own responsibility,
fastened bit of sailcloth, lest mule fall
ing on a rock or against branch should
accidentally rip open a sack and spill the
contents. The whole lot was thrown with
other goods into the packers office and left
there until the following morning.
At another time forty thousand dollars
worth was sent down on one horse. The
packer in charge did not know who had
given it to him, and there was no sign of
ownership attached. 1t was identified by
the fact that within the larger sack of dust
was small sack of nuggets
The bags are not sealed, but merely tied
with leather thong or bit of Irvine.
