Every boat carries men out Of Daw'
son. and very few come in. The enc
cannot be far of.
When the stampede was al its craEi-
es, there were 10000 in and around
this notorious mining town. To-day
there are probably 1900. And today II
is far easier TO stake claim in the
gold fields than It is TO claim a stake
in Dawson.
In 1896 "Togish Charlie" an Indian
while fishing at the mouth Of the
! klondike river, found some large gold
nuggets in the sand and showed them
TO 4 trader Investigation showed the
valley. the stream bed and the noun
tain side we're full Of the yellow metal,
ard soon the news Of the wonderful
strike went up the river and TO the
outside.
Then men went mad. They poured
up TO Skagway from Seattle by boat,
went over the White Horse pass,
thousands and thousands of them,
month after month. They came with
their outfits, very few Of them know
ing anything about the terrible White
Horse and Dyea trails over the noun
tains, and the more TO be dreaded
White Horse rapids after the pass had
been made.
There were no steamers on the
Yukon then. II it was summer the
mob went down in boats and on RATS
or anything that would float. In
winter they went down on the ice.
Many who went by boats were caught
by the ice before they reached Dawson
and were frozen in and many who
went down on the ice in winter were
caught in the breakup and found
death in the Yukon rather than for
tunes in the Klondike, while the rapids
claimed many life and outfit.
There were pilots at tie rapids who
would take boats through the whirl-
pool for $50 apiece, at owners risk,
but there were thousands of men who
had put their last dollar into outfits
and they had TO do their own steering.
A business man in Dawson, one of
the first to reach the Klondike, was a
passenger on our boat into Dawson,
and he told me many interesting
stories of the mad rush. He said he
remembered one man in particular.
He came in from Seattle with boat
and good outfit and the rapids got
them. He got ashore and at once
started back for Seattle, one thousand
miles for another. The second time a
pilot took the boat through and lost
it. Then the owner put a gun to his
head and ended it alias hundreds Of
others did.
But Notwithstanding the terrible OBJ
stacles thousands and thousands
reached the Klondike fields and went
mad with the gold fever. Everywhere
along the river the ground was rich
with precious metal. Men fought for
it, killed for it and died for it. Gold
was rich in almost every foot of
ground. Great fortunes were made in
a few weeks and fabulous prices were
paid for claims.
Then Dawson sprang up and be-
came roaring, crazy hell.
Today it is dying natural death
Only few men are working claims
nova pitiful few of those who came
too late, and who are picking the
bones.
After the claims gradually played
out, the Guggenheims put dredges in
and took untold wealth out of the
river. They are yet working, just
time for the finish.

save Dawson from being marker for

Such proposition makes capitalists
hesitate. No matter how rich the in

the chances, for the mine may be

 It sounds like a Diamond Dick or Old Sleuth but it is a ripe, rich com edy drama with so many funny sit nations that it should be just the type of picture for these days when the patron goes to the theater to es- cape his business worries and to get away from the heat outside.

 Surrounded by every comfort, with everything that money can buy, and loving parents, Marcia (Gladys Leslie) longs for playmates.

Starting with a comedy drama of splendid appeal today in Mystery AT" the Hip sends to the screen for Tuesday and Wednesday Emeli Stew enS in a Metro picture called "The Beautiful Lie" Here is a love story that defies traditions of the ages in it's freshness and originality. It is a sparkling tale of a maid who lied to assure the love of the. man she knew was to be hers if she could hold him. It is just another of the good Metro pictures.
 Thursday and Friday Earle Will Hams and Dorothy Kelly. the Vita graphs vampire woman, return in a sparkling play entitled The Mael- strom." Its name does no justice to the gripping tale Frank Ernest had provided for this gifted pair
 Earle Williams plays the part of a young society man who is accosted
 in a fog by a slip of girl who hands him a bundle of checks with the advice to run. He does. Runs right into a peck of trouble when he is knocked on the head and awakes to find man murdered beside him. How this mystery story of love and intrigue turns out will be best told by the screen version at the Hip. Thursday and Friday.
 The Saturday special is devoted to Clara Kimball Young in one of her greatest successes. It is called The Badge of Shame" and is from the same story as the Yellow Ticket which many will recall as the suc- cessful stage play of a few seasons ago.
