MExIco's TWO. STORY LAKE.

one of the wonders of Mexico is the
salt producing lake near Salinas sta
ton on tie Tampico division of the
Mexican Central railway, seventy-two
miles west of san Luis Potosi. II may
well he termed a two-story lake, for AZ
times there is lake OF fresh water
everything the salt lake a water tight
roof of green mud separates the fresh
from the salt water
For a large part OF the year there Is
no fresh water lake there. The sun
licks It up soon after the rainy season
is over.
The salt secured from this lake goes
all over Mexico. The lake has been
worked about siXty-hve years. The
whole town of 5000 people makes its
living from the salt.
The property is owned by family
or estate, but it is said that not one of
the owners has lived there for years,
The old residence of the owners is still
standing at Salinas. Its massive walls
and towers ana turrets give the place

HORRORS OF A GOLD RUSH.

one of the few places where il is stll
possible TO have adventures Is tn,
Klondike IL is not the riotous Klon-
dixie Of 1898, but there Is still much
gold there, and wherever you find gold
there are adventures To be had. Every
now and then prospector wandering
about the country discovers gold in a
fresh place After stalking out his
claim, he goes into Dawson TO report
it to the authorities. Quickly the news
leaks out that sold has been discovered
in new country and at once there is a
stampede 10 the place.
Hurriedly men get together a few
dogs, harness them To a sledge and
rush over the snow covered noun
tains. Eacn man tries 20 get 10 the
new gold country first. and each man
thinks that at last he is going to make
his fortune
Percy Dent author OF "Klondike
Yarns" who is about to return To the
Klondike, gives an interesting account
of one OF these rushes. For the past
seven years" he said II have been
knocking around Alasl.a and the klon-
dixie gold fields, and many gold

Dawn saw a struggling line of men
laboring up the Sixty Mile There were
Representatives from all the civilized
nations of the world-the scum of
Europe, as the dapper, fireside civ
ilization would term them. Grim and
determined, they struggled through
the desolate wastes of snow, straining
at gee-pole, cursing the pull-rope
which cut into both neck and armpits,
and prodding their dogs numerically.
The mems eyes were CLASSY; their
boards and moustaches one mass of
CONCEALED breath. Each man held his
own course and allowed no other
stampeder to Gust him from the irreg-
ular trail.
