THE CLOSDYKE.
The story, or stories, of the won
derful richness of the Clondyke
mines in Alaska read like fairy tales.
Part of them perbas are. It is ua
uoubtedly true that remarkably rich
ground has been found ; It is perhaps
equally true that the stories have not
lost anything in the transmission.
Alaska is a wonderfully rich mining
country, but the history of all placer
countries is that the gold is not dis
tributed over vast areas in great
quantities, but runs in streaks through
the bars. It is fair to presume that
this is the case on the Clondyke, and
that the remarkably rich ground is,
while compared to some camps,
large, in reality but a small area.
The field itself may be large, bui the
pay streak covers only a small por
tion of it.
This, of course, is a mere opinion
based upon the history of mining
camps in general. It may be possi
ble the Clondyke has upset all previ
ous theories, but it is not probable.
"Cows far off wear long horns," and
stories grow wonderfully by being
transplanted. For instance, the story
is told of one man who brought $65,
000 in his grip sack and had "about
all he could carry off the steamer."
The average geld dust runs about
$16 an ounce, and at this value the
gentleman named had something
over 260 pounds.
The country is hard to get into,
and those who attempt it should
have not les3 than 600 or $700 to
start wiih. For the young man with
energy and pluck and the required
capita, Alaska offers fine induce
ments; but he must expect to experi
ence many hardships, and he must
not expect to shovel up gold with a
scoop. A few do this, and of these
you hear; but the accounts of the
hundreds who wash pan after pan
and do not get a color are not pub
lished in the newspapers. One out
of fifty is a good average of success
ful miners. Give Alaska one out of
three, or even one out of two, and
it will be seen that he who goes has
. even chances of being disappointed.
The miner who courts the fickle god
dess Fortune understands this, and
he who flirts with her will learn it,
sooner or later, and perhaps sooner.
At present it looks as though the
striking coal miners are going to win,
the principal reason being that the
scarcity of coal is closing up all fac
tories. Another thing that makes
success possible is that wages are so
lov that no outsiders are willing to
work at the price, and the element of
competition is shut out. The truth
is, the price of coal has been too low,
and the strike will be a good thing
for the operators, as well as the min
ers. It is to be hoped the strike will
win, even though it puts up the price
ot coal, for, heretofore it has been
sold at a price less than it could be
mined and delivered for, and as the
operators would not lose, the whole
loss had to be borne by the starving
miners.
The New York World grows vir
tuously indignant at the suggestion
of annexing Hawaii, and says: "Al
most all of its 109,000 people are
leprous and vicious serfs." It would
be interesting reading to know why
the World published that article, and
how much the sugar trust paid for it.
It can be safely set down that what
the New York World opposes the
. people should have, and what it ad
vocates the people should avoid as
a pestilence. It also speaks of Mon
tana, Idaho and Nevada as "rotten
boroughs." We think now, and
have so thought for many years, that
the principal cause of kicking against
the states named, is because it shut
off the possibilities for appointive
offices, and prevented New York and
other Eastern states furnishing the
officers' for the territorial govern
ments. Nevada, Montana and Idaho
are able to take care of themselves as
well as New York, and politically
are much more honest.
$ome things grow wearisome, and
one of these is a notice of "the young
est Christian Endeavorer" visiting
ban Francisco. This is a girl of 4
years, about. whom whole columns of
type have been set. It is sweet to
know that this brand has been
plucked from the burning and repent
ed of all the wickedness of her four
sin-glutted j'ears.
