GOLD TRAVELLED IS YEARS
Sack of Precious Dust Tralled Con
sInnee Thousands Of Miles 10
Twenty Addresses.

Watertown. N. Y.--After travelling
for thousands Of miles during 10
years, q sack Of gold dust mailed IN
1899 was delivered to Christopher La
lone OF Potsdam.
The gold had been trailing Lalone
for years, but. wherever It was sent,
Lalone was always Just ahead Of It.
The gold dust started at Dawson
City, Alaska, being sent by Frank
Wires, Mr.. Lalone's son-in-law. II was
part OF the first treasure taken from O.
mine which young Wires discovered
while prospecting, and which later
netted him fortune. n
The first address attached to the
sack was Schenectady, where Lalone
was living. Before It arrived, how
ever, Lalone had left that city, and
after q few months the gold was sent
back to Dawson City. Wires, the
sender, was fer from civilization, and
his whereabouts Was unknown. Un-
claimed. the sack lay In the Dawson
post Office until 1t was learned BY Q
friend Of Wires that Lalone was IN
Terre Haute, Ind. There the package
was sent, but again too late. Since
then It has travelled to Seattle, to
southern California and back to Alas
ka, until finally Lalone was located IN
Potsdam. Three tags, bearing 20 ad
dresses, were attached to the sack
