Sergeant Laedbuchs each made short
stirring talks. A number of stereop-

of interest and enthusiast. The

GOLD STRIKE DALTON
POST INVESTIGATED

WHITEHORSE: The following Is
the story of the stampede to the pla-
Ger gold strike on a stream about five
miles north and west of Dalton Post,
as told by Frank Doumontier of the
Commercial Hotel. a pioneer of South
ern Yukon. with the pluck and OPP
timism that was a distinguished fea-
ture of the early gold seekers In the
frozen north, who were always ready
at any minute of the day or night to
embark upon any enterprise. no mat
ter how desperate. that gave promise
of excitement, adventure and legiti-
mate profit. Mr.. Doumontier said:
Accompanied by three companions
McKinnon, Haynes and Jones, l left
here on Nov, 18th with dog teams and
an ample supply Of grub for month,
The weather was very stormy and the
streams we had to cross so high that
it took us eight days to make the
trip between Whitehorse and the dig
gings.
1--WE spent four days on the creek.
or rather river. on which discovery
is located, and staked four claims
above discovery at places which look
ed most favorable to US for working
to advantage when the time comes.
We found good prospects. but at two
and a half feet down we were COM
PEELED to desist by reason of water.
THE river. which has an unpro-
nounceable Indian name. is a long
stream having its outlet on the Alaska
coast at Yakutat Bay. 1t source Is two
creeks, which join near where the dis
covery of gold was made.
while I would not advise anyone
to 60 into the country seeking gold.
nevertheless firmly believe 1t to
be all right. White men who were
on the river at the time we reached
there. informed us they had seen the
original 800 in gold dust from their
claims last fall. Below the junction
of the two creeks there is fiat 5000
feet wide and several miles long that
looks to me like good hydraulic pro-
position. Going by way of Champagne
Landing the country is almost level.
and the river can be reached easily.
either in summer or winter, when ira
yelling is good"
On his way back Mr.. Doumontie
had quite a narrow escape from death
while crossing Aishik Lake. When he
had about made up his mind to aban-
don everything and make desperate
attempt to reach shore. an Indian
musher came along and rendered him
such assistance that he was enabled
to pull through.

COURSE OF A RIFLE BALL.
Just What Happens From the instant

Just What Happens From the instant
the Gun 10 Fired.
Two sportsmen were disputing. One
claimed that II rifle Is sighted on q
dead level the ball commences to fall
the instant 1t leaves tile barrel. The
second man claimed that the ball FIRST
rises above the level Of the barrel and
then falls. They didn't settle the ques
ton. but here Is the answer:
Gravity acts upon a moving and un.
supported body instantly. be the body
large or small In q rifle the line Of
sight that is. the line Of aim is one
thing; the line Of the bore Is another.
In order that gravity will not cause q
bullet to drop too soon q rife Is always
made % that the line Of the bore points
slightly upward as compared with the
line Of sight. The result Is that, while
the bullet begins to drop away from
the direct line Of the bore the moment
1t leaves the piece. It rises at FIRST
above the line Of sight and then slowly
drops below 1t.
Rifles are usually made SO that they
will strike the object aimed at at u Ger.
tain dlstance-say 200 yards from the
huuter. That Is to say. they carry
point blank" at 200 yards. II the OBJ
ject Is farther away more front sight
must be given. Under any and all cir
cumstances. however, the bullet drops
away from the line Of the bore. owing
to the gravity, the moment the gun IL
fired.-New York Tribune.
