No PLACE FOR POOR
Mining at Dawson Available Only
to Men With Big Capital.
pioneer Says There Are Sections of
the Yukon That Have Not Yet
Been Scratched by
PrcSpectors.

New York.--Henry Pinkiert, who
used to be a merchant in San Fran
cisco and went to the Klondike in
1897, and has been in business in or
around Dawson City ever since, ar
rived recently at the Breslin He says
there are no mining opportunities in
the immediate neighborhood of Daw
with big capital
Dawson is not growing" said Mr..
Plnklert. In the early days there
were all kinds of mining right there
on the ground for the individual, but
now. for radius Of about so miles
around the town, the territory is so
worked out that only big corporations
can make money working it, and these
nave taken up great deal Of the
land. The biggest operations IN the
neighborhood are being carried on by
a South African company, which owns
or practically controls all the claims
within that 50-mile radius that the
Guggenheims do not ccntrol.
In the days OF the gold rush a man
would stake his claim, which would
run 500 feet The moment he got
that worked down to low grade he
was up against proposition that re-
quired dredges and hydraulic ma
chinery to work on a profitable basis.
The majority of small claimholders
sold out, and some gave options. A
few are still holding out for their
prices. The government gives a man
the right to hold his claim SO long as
5000 worth of work is done on it in
year.
But the situation at Dawson does
not end the Klondike for the prospec-
tor by any means. ! should say that
part Of Yukon territory is still in its
infancy as a gold producer. in spite
of the millions that have been taken
out The great difficulty has been
getting into the interior Small boats
go up the streams now for hundreds of
miles, but still there are regions prac-
tically unprospected. In the past few
years the Canadian government has
helped transportation by substituting
these craft, and this makes it possible
for miners to carry up their grub in
the fail ard continue their work in
the winter In my opinion, one of
these days we shall hear of discoveries
up there that will make the klondike
finds seem insignificant. From Daw

Quick Witted and Dangerous Per-
sons Who Use Cocaine.
Many Are Said TO Have Become Adj

Tcothache-Efforts Being Made
to Stamp Out Evil.

New York,-Disclosure made be-
fore the grand iuries of Kings coun-
ty recently and inquiries at police
headquarters reveal that the Illicit
sale of cocaine has grown so rapidly
during the last two years that it stands
at the head of the list of drugs which
are sold illegally throughout the city,
The police record for 1911 shows five
arrests and three convictions for sell
ing the drug. Forty-three indict-
ments returned by the grand juries in
Brooklyn in the last two months and
% cases brought into court by Man
haitian detectives show that the cru
SADIE against the evil is bearing fruit.
Two detectives who have been busy
running down illegal sellers of the
drug for the last seven or eight years
told recently of eccentricities of the
victims. 1T is a strange thing said
one. that more than two-thirds OF the
men who sell the drug illegally are
numbered among the victims. Negroes
are addicted to the habit to great
degree. IL fact, it was in the south
that the habit of snuffing the drug
first came to light In New York

Cars Policy Gives impetus to PopH-
lar Education-Big Gain in Last
Fifteen Years.

St Petersburg. Popular education
in Russia is making rapid strides in
advance; so much SO that the next
statistics of people who can neither
read nor write, not long ago officially
estimated at 60 per cent. of the total
population. will certainly indicate a
notable decrease. In the last fifteen
years public instruction has immense
ly improved.
The existing system of state schools
was founded in the second half or
the nineteenth century, when the
edict of the abolition of serfdom ap-
peared. Until year 1860 Russia
only had 4,077 public schools. When.
in 1864, the zemstvos were estab-
lished, the number of schools in
creased rapidly and at the end OF the
sixties there were in Russia Z2,770
schools with 1,140,915 pupils.
Under Alexander III. popular edu-
cation made further advances, and at
the end of his reign the number of
schools had reached 1925 with q
100000 pupils. Under the present
car educational matters have re-
ceived increased attention. Thus the
schools opened by the zemstvos were
granted state subsidy of $3.50 for
every fifty pupils, while the teachers
got increases in salary.
At the present time there are in
Russia 1O0,29 elementary schools and
6,180,510 pupils. OF these schools
56,91O have been opened under the
reign of Nicholas H., the present czar.
