way to the Yukon, and describes as
"a Wretohed little town with decayed
wooden houses and grass-groWn
streets, the scene of many robberies,
riots and murders at the time Of the
gold rush, which the police authorities
had neither the power nor energy to
control Skagway is not, and can
never be, Of much use to the United
States except as an obstruction to
Canadian progress, but might be Of
some advantage to the vast Canadian
hinterland less than twenty miles in
land"
Skagvay is surrounded on three
sides by plateau Of steep and rug
ged mountains through which two
trails lead to the north over the White
Horse and the ChiIcoot passes, up
whose Wild and difficult raYineS thou
sands Of fortune-seekers trekked and
struggled with their heavy packs,
tools and tents in the mad rush to the
expected FL Dorado over five hundred
miles away. Soon after the gold was
found in quantities mountain rail-
road was built up the White pass
from Skagway to the summit and on
to Lake Bennett, a distance of 40
miles, trayeTsing a wild and iceworn
plateau Of gigantic proportions,
strewn with moraines, sprinkled over
with lafes and inclosed by snowy
peaks 5000 to 5000 feet in height.
At the head of Lake Bennett lies the
deserted town Of Bennett, where, at
the time Of the gold rush, there were
lodged some five thousand people in
houses. huts and tents. The only
building now standing beside the rail
road station is a wooden Presbyterian
church-which shows that at least q
few righteous men were among that
sordid crowd. 1t was here that the
first prospectors and miners got into
boats and canoes and navigated their
frail craft through lakes and rapids
for the remaining 531 miles Of their
venturesome journey to Dawson City

SkagWay runs along Lake Bennett to

80 HE world will go gold-hunting
until the last yellow nugget is
extracted from the earth. Nat
urally the Klondike and Yukon
goldfelds, as the latest TO be
opened, will attract the would-be pio-
neers OF the present, and romantic
stories coming out Of the great Alas
kan forests and mountains will stir
the blood Of the adventurous until the
whole region has become commercial
lied. In a recent publication of the
Smithsonian, II. c. Cadell reports his
studies and Investigations in the Klon-
dixie and the Yukon and presents a
picture of conditions in these famous
fields which the man with the gold
fever will do well to see.
The name Klondike was once In ev-
cry mouth, and late in the nineteenth
century it nearly became a synonym
for all that was rich and prosperous.
But of late 1t has not been SO common,
eits early bloom having faded away.
The sensational pockets of fine placer
gold, which attracted hOrdes of hardy
are nearly depleted, and no new ones
have been discovered to maintain its
earlier reputation. But while this part
or the Yukon district can no longer
be called a poor mans golddeld, it
still contains a considerable quantity
Of alluvial gold which can be secured
By the application Of capital and
brains. 1t remains a region well
worth visiting, for besides the gold it
has other possibilities of development.
There are many points Of geographic
and scientific interest; in this remote
and imperfectly explored northwest
ern corner of the British empire there
arc numerous problems awaiting the
discussion and inv estigation of the
geologist and the geographer Of the
years to come.

Here are two pretty dress hats
which show which way the millinery
wind blows. AS to trimming it points
to simplicity, but as to shape it con-
tinues to blow every which way" In
materials hatters' plush, velours and
combinations of velvet with other ma
terials are in steady demand and such
combinations appear in these two hats.
At the top the picturesque shape is
Of velvet and plush, the velvet appear

fange against the plush facing. The
top crown IS of velvet. A wide, hand
some faille ribbon is laid in folds
about the side crown and the ends are
joined at the right of the front. Here
an odd feather ornament is posed at
an equally odd angle. Sprays of fine
feathers, which look like frost-covered
twiga, spring from big cabochon of
feathers and dance in every breeze
that blows. At the left ball and tas-
sci of silk, fastened against the crown,
give this model more than the usual
allowance of ornament.
The brim in this shape is very ir-
regular and the crown is eccentric in
shape but both are made on good and

in the sand of the Yukon for hundreds
of miles up the valley. Dawson City
is situated on the alluvial fiat where
river, two tributaries of which are the
famous Bonanza creek and Hunker
creek. Although traces of gold were
discovered in the Yukon valley in
about 1869, it was twelve years later,
in 1881, before it was found in the
ward coarse gold was found on the
Fortymile, a tributary of the Yukon
below Dawson, and in 1894-1906 the
discoveries Of Bob Henderson and
George Cormack. in bunker and Bo-
nanZa creek and many miners made
fortunes in short time, but unfor-
tunately most of the gold was spent
foolishly or in debauchery. One man
is said to have taken 100000 out of
claim Sc feet by 800 feet, but, so
the story goes, he spent it in few
years and died in poverty. The quick
est fortune on record was secured by
two men who cleaned up gold to the
value Of $4,000 in q hours. Stories
Of the proceedings at Klondike during
these golden days" are not edifying,
but point to the moral that wealth
too easily and quickly won is apt to
work i'll.
The total output in 1898 was $780,.
100000, from which figure it jumped
six million annually until 1900, when
the production reached $22,275, 900,
the highest point. From this point q
steady decline began until in 1903.
when it was $2,829,131, at which time
hydraulicking and dredging began,
and the total output rose slowly until
it was $5,018,411 in 1913. 1t has been
estimated that only about $20,000,00C
worth Of gold remains to be produced
out of the original available amount OF
nearly $180,000,000. At the height Of
the boom in the winter of 1899 the
population of Dawson is said to have
reached $4,000: recently, however, II

Three Ways OF Getting Geld.
The various processes OF recovering
gold in this region fall under three
main heads individuals, by washing
surface gravels with shovel and pan,
or by sluicing with flume and sluice
box; small parties, by working drift
with mechanical scrapers and sluices,
or drift-mining in shafts and sluicing,
and capitalists, by dredging with pow
erfuI mechanical plants, hydraulic
sIuicing with monitors, or mining and
stamping ore in mills. The first class
includes poor mems diggings' and
the second requires more financial re
sources and mechanical ability, but a
successful man in the first may be
come a member of the second class.
While the first two classes require
fairly rich ground, only men with ex-
ceptional ability and ample capital can
reach the third class and work the
low-grade placer gravels or quartz
veins successfully.

several methods Of extracting gold
from the frozen Klondike field, based
upon his personal observations, and
shows how man has changed the to-
biography Of this district, especially in
the valleys. First the drift miners
turned the gravel upside down, then
the dredgers plowed it all over again
and threw it into great ridges of stone
with mud banks between, and finally
where there were white gravels on
the high ground, the hydraulic
giants" washed them down into great
fan-shaped cones, sometimes reaching
across the entire valley, completely
burying all below, damming up gullies
and producing new lakes. All of which
operations have made tough problems
for the future geologist.
The vast territory of the Yukon dis
trict is imperfectly explored, and al
though it is far north, the climate IL
summer is warm and favorable for az
riculture and grazing. Exploration is
now readily effected from Dawson. and
Mr.. CadSll hopes that fresh enterprise
will reveal new resources that will
lead to the permanent settlement Of
this remote and almost uninhabited
outpost.

The Lancaster news. [volume] (Lancaster, S.C.) 1905-current, 1915-09-14
AFTER THE ELECTION,
WHAT?

Y
The legislature, at it's last session,
passed law prohibiting the manu-
! facture and sale of liquor anywhere
in South Carolina; provided that n
majority of the qualified electors
voted for the law at an election to
be held this day. If the majority of
the voters are in favor of the law,
the state will automatically go dry
on the first day of January, 1916, and
after that date ii will be unlawful
TO manufacture or sell liquor any
where within the state. The only eX-
ception is the manufacture of alco-
hol for medicinal purposes under ex-
listing laws. So that there will be
no need of additional legislation to
carry out the wishes of the voters.
The law has already been passed con
ditional on the people ratifying it to-
1ay If prohibition carries in the
election today as it is generally con-
ceded it will, under the provisions
of the act, as soon as the result is de-
ers, the dispensary authorities are
directed to begin winding up the
various dispensaries throughout the
state and no additional liquors are
TO be ordered after the result of the
election is declared. The new law
will not affect dry counties. like
Lancaster, but only those counties
where dispensaries exist. Nor does
the new law affect in any way the
"gallon-a-month" act, now in force,
which allows any one to order as
much as gallon a month of liquor
from without the state.
If the local optionists or anti
prohibitionists carry the election
there will be no change in the state
of affairs. Those counties which are
now dry will remain so and thosa
having dispensaries will continue to
have them.
