development results in a greater outlay
of capital than is essential. Service
which is maintained beyond the areas
of need is not self sustaining and forces
the service in the densely populated
areas to carry the losses. The pas
sengers of the profitable part of the line
therefore do not receive the best service
that their fare might purchase. The
motor bus, on the other hand, can ex-
tend It's route Just Ns slowly or as quick
ly as requirements demand, thus CIV
ing its passengers full return for their
fare. Cities may become overcrowded
and while there Is territory for expan-
sion this expansion does not occur or is
very slow. Such conditions may be
caused by deficient or too distant trans
portation. A person prefers to live with
in comparatively short distance from
transportation agency that will take
him TO his work without delay and in
comfort. Where traction officials have
been shortslghted. city expansion has
been retarded. The motor bus unit Is
SO cheap in comparison to other trans
portation units that 1t can be sent into
territory for development purposes at a
fraction of the cost of traction units
With the present congested conditions
in cities this is an important considera-
ton.
The motor bus being smaller in size
and lighter per passenger in weight
than the common electric carriers, Is
the logical transportation agency in
crowded or narrow streets. In such
sh Gets surface cars running down the
centre crowd traffic, causing congestion
md accidents. Motor buses run as does
ordinary traffic. thus minimizing traffic
congestion When the storage battery
rars. which were run through the
crowded East Side of New York city
were taken off by the New York city
can lines receiver Mayor Hylan imme-
diately substituted motor buses. These
buses have been in operation only a
short time, so that while definite cpnclu-
lion cannot as yet be drawn indications
are such as to confirm the previous
statement.
While the schedules Of electric car
rfers have on the whole been quite sat
isfactory, there are certain important
lines that are complained of constantly.
A. certain large bus company operating
IL, one of the largest cities of the United
States has so standardized its schedule
that it is able to run a bus every twenty
TO thirty seconds over a distance of al
most a mile and a half That is better
time than any electric carrier has been
able to make.
The most prominent advantages of the
motor bus are:
1. Greater mobility.
2. Absence OF tracks.
8. Ability to continually extend route:
10 meet newly developed needs.
4. Ease with which routing can b,
shifted without less of equipment
8. Combining Of service delays to the

6. Possibility of maintaining better
schedules and intensive service.
z. Less weight of vehicle per pas
senger as compared with common cleo
trio carriers.
| s. Greater efficiency for certain kind
OF traffic.
g. Admission to residential thorough
fares closed to the common electric car
riers.
10. Service as feeders to more rapi
and long electric carriers.

CHANDLER SIX COUPE PLEAsEs
It Is Real Four Passenger Car.

~
After presenting to New Workers a
t. uly remarkable car in its Chandler
Six sedan the Hulett Motor Car Com
pany, Inc, stirred the interest OF motor
!sts again last week by putting the
Chandler Six four passenger coupe on
exhibition. This is a real four passen-
ser vehicle. All the passengers face
forward. the auxiliary seat alongside
that occupied by the driver is large and
comfortable, and In no sense a make
shift affair to permit the squeezing in
Of the fourth passenger. 1t is this seat
Ing room, together with the luggage
room under the rear deck. that makes the
Chandler Six coupe dist nctiye and at
tfsctive to those who want to use this
type of car for touring as well as for
di wing about the city.
The Chandler company had this very
ing in mind when 1t designed this
rcdel. Beginning with snappy powe-
plant capable Of any amount Of hard
work. the des gners developed a closed
type of less actual bulk than the sedan
Tut of sufficient size to easily accommo-
ate four. The coupe has been made
first a comfortable car by the scientific
arrangement of its interior and then a
most useful car by the Incorporation
OF the same dependable engine that
makes the touring car so "snappy" and
thereby increases the range of the
CO Cpe's usefulness.
The coupe is upholstered in the finest
quality silk plush and with dull liver
flrish fittings designed in the best styIe.
DESPITE the largest production In the
history of the Chandler company the de-
msnd for its closed models has already
consumed the production for weeks to
come. A prospective owners order now

Hart and the tinsmith had left Ju-

with Lansing and the Frenchman.
Lansing pointed out the moose pas

but instead Of stopping to prospect,
they continued ON to the town of

provisions, a part of which had SPOOL

Thus the start was delayed until the
middle Of April.
In the meantime other things con-
spired with the weather to sidetrack

ment developed at Juneau concerning
the beach diggings at Latuya bay.
where gold had been found a few
years before. II was reported that

ing $3.50 day; and that Dave. Spur
geon. working alone on ground four
miles east of the bay, was washing
out from 81 to $50 day.
MoDousall Urged to Go to Latuya.
These rumors sounded good, and
three men from Portland, Ore, were
seized with a strong desire to try
! their luck in that region. The little
schooner "Seagull' lay in the harbor
at the time, so the Portland. men tried
to induce the owners, two cousins
named McKinnon, to take them to
Latuya, transportation free, the
Mckinnons to share and share
alike with the prospectors in
any locations made. The McKinnons

cannily occurred to them that they
knew nothing of the gold finding cap
ability of the Oregonians, whereas
there was a man in town in whom
they had large confidence, So they
agreed to go If McDougall Joined the
party.
The reason why the McKinnons
wanted ,McDougall to go dated from
1889, when the latter was a contract
or at Port Townsend, Wash, and the
McKinnons were halibut fishing out OF
that port About 20 OF more years be-
FORE a Mexican had found gold on the
beach at Port Townsend, where. ira
dition says, he worked out small
patch which paid 81 a day with
rocker. This beach gold was suppos-
ed to have been thrown up by the
sea until McDougall, in 1889, found
that it came from the bluff above. The
result was a brief but vivid mining
excitement on ground which had been
trodden by the feet of countless thou
sands, Wherefore, McDongalrs judg-
ment on beach diggings was held in
high esteem by these schoonermen
OF course. McDougall was strongly
urged I.atuya-ward.
During this time of delay and doubt
as to which of the two contrary
courses promised the fairest,, MeDou-
gall had in mind the probability of
securing a contract in British Column
bia the following autumn, and that in
case he found nothing surely profit
able in the meantime he would re-
turn to British Columbia in the hope
of securing the contract AT that time
there was no railway from tidewater
to the Yukon. The miners who cross
ed the range and hand -sleighed their
outfits from Dyea to the lakes at the
head of the river, where they whip
which the journey was continued
downstream to some tributary, then
up stream to diggings or failure. 1t
all consumed time, as may be imagin-
ed. To come out in the autumn by
the same route they poled a boat up
stream 600 miles. To go in and out of
the country the same season left but
a fraction of a Yukon summer for
prospecting. In the McDougall case,
every day of delay in starting was
day off that fraction.
The conspiracy of events succeeded.
It would have fooled anybody Nc

outfit to Hart and the tinsmith, and

After getting Lansing's ideas on

Dougall drew half an oval, which with
the straight line inclosed the north
naf OF the moose pasture" and,
turning to his partners, said: Boys,
we will prospect on the north slope of
the moose pasture.
In reaching this conclusion McDou-
gall put to astonishing use what he
knew of the occurrence of placer gold
near Barkeville, B. c., where the ex-
tremely rich creeks flow northerly
from prominent mountain, whereas
the south creeks are comparatively
poor, though all are in schist and
slate country rock
The map was handed to Hart, who
slowed it away in an inside pocket.
Surely, not a man present had the
least suspicion that on it was exactly
shown one of the richest placer fields
ever discovered, and that it would be
found by following that crude sketch.
They saw only a tall, quiet, big -boned

Fate Spoils the Gold Seekers Plans.
Before the end of this recital of mi

that fate never intended McDougall,
Hart and the tinsmith to reap fame
and fortune as the discoveries of the
Klondike; that will stick out like an
ounce nugget in a spoonful of black
sand. Those men fully intended pros
pecting there and nowhere else. Their
outfit had been bought, and they
awaited only favorable weather for
crossing Chilkoot pass. 1t is at this
fair-seeming stage when fate first
shows a contrary, even malevolent,
disposition toward McDougall and
Hart.

was great. Some of the Frenchmen

the pass looked. With disgusting
frequency the report was the same.
They were as eager as any to cross
the range; their courage was UNI

unanimous opinion prevailed that a

Discovery of the .Klondike--New Story
of Finding Gold Diggings of
the Far North

Henry Boursin in Engineering and
Mining JournaD
About the last of February, 1895, the
steamship "Alki," David Wallace COM
handing, left Puget Sound and Brit
ish Columbia ports on her regular
northbound trip to Sitka and way
ports. Her passenger list included a
few old-time Yukoners; half dozen
or more French canadians, owning
claims on Miller and Glacier creeks,
in the Sixty mile district, and a pio-
neer Yukoner named Sam Lansing.
OF the Ichechakos, there We're three
with whom this story deals-a tin
smith who had sold his business in
Butte, Mont; John McDougall, orig
inally from Bruce county, Ontario;
and Dan Hart, a Scotchman.
McDougall's first mining experience
had been gained in the Cariboo dis
trict In British Columbia in 1879. Lat
er he had been a subcontractor on the
construction of the Canadian Pacific
railway through British Columbia,
and, after the completion of that road,
had, been a general contractor in Brit
ish Columbia and Washington. Hart
had quit his vocation as carpenter on
British warship, and was going
north in search of gold These three
We're strangers, to each other but hav-
ing the same destination and purpose,
they had agreed to go into the Yukon
country as partners before the Alki
reached Juneau.
The party disembarked at Juneau,
which was then the jumping off place
for Yukoners. in those days two pio-,
neers OF, Juneau, John Odds and Nor
ris Orton, were running the Occident-
al hotel The three gold seekers put
up there, and, a few days later, hav-
ing purchased Yukon outfits, were
impatiently awaiting favorable wea-
tller for crossing Chilkoot pass.
When a man intends prospecting a
country new to him, he acquires in
advance such information as he can
gather concerning it. McDopgal had
been doing this on the way up the
coast and at Juneau. He learned that
the Stewart river bars were worked
out, and that there was small chance
Of locating pay ground in Forty -mile
and Sixty mile districts; further, that
the latter districts were on the same
gold belt; and finally, that the country
rock there was schist and slate
trending seemingly toward the Stew
art river diggings.
McDoueaII Has Bright Idea.
McDougall had not gone far into
these details when there occurred to
him a suspicion which rapidly grew
to the dimensions of theory. 1t was
this Perhaps those three districts
were on the same gold belt; if so. be-
tween Sixty mile and Stewart river
was a good place to prospect.
One day while loafing about the no
tel, McDougall searched out Lansing,
who had mined in all the districts
mentioned, to renew their talks about
Yukon diggings. To get his frag-
mentary information straight in his
mind and keep it SO, and TO focus that
information on a definite place, he had
gone to Dick Nelson's postoffice sta
tionery store and procured a sheet of
paper Returning to the hotel, he put
