- DON'T BE IN A HURRY.
All report from the Clondyke
mining district indicate that it is the
greatest gold field ever discovered
That fact, however, should not be
allowed to tempt any man to aban
don a fairly remunerative positiou
and join the aimy ot treasure seek
ers that is already being recruited in
every part of the United States and
Canada. For those who tell of the
vast wealth of this new Eldorado also
slate that the most desirable ground
lias been staked off, and that the new
arrival who proposes to take up a
claim worth working must either
purchase one from its original locator
or go prospecting for one in an un
explored region. And until more
particulars are received anent the
topographical geological aspects of
the country surrounding the Clon
dyke, it might not be wise to hazard
much on the probability of the heavy
gold deposit covering an extensive
territory. That they do not is indi
cated by the fact that the countrj
both north and south of Dawson
City has failed to reward to any
startling extent those who have pros
pected it. The history of gold min
ing shows that such heavy finds as
those reported from the Clondyke
aie confined to limited, areas.
It would be well for the man of
small means to wait awhile, anyway,
before starting for the Yukon. The
open season up there ends in Septem
ber, and after that it will be impossi
ble to prosecute prospecting with any
degree of facility until next May.
By that time much more truth will
be known about the present and
future ot the Clondyke region than
has ever been told. Trustworthy
newspaper representatives and others
who have neither mininr claims nor
town lots for sale are new en route
to the land of promise, and their re
ports will make very interesting win
ter reading.
Meantime the hidden gold of the
Alaskan wilds will neither take wings
and fly away nor be melted by solar
heat. For many centuries it has
been affording an example of waiting
which most of its would-be possessors
could now emulate to their own ad
vantage. Telegram. .
A REST NEEDED.
The senate and house committees
of conference have met, and by con
cessions on both sides have reached
an understanding that will permit
the passage of the tariff bill within a
week. This is indeed good news,
for any certain condition is better
than the uncertainty that has held
sway fcr the past four months. It is
to be bo'ped that the new law will
produce sufficient revenue for the
needs of the government, and that
the country may have a few years
rest from tariff agitation. Every
change, every proposed change of
the tariff laws unsettles business, sets
speculators at work, and raises the
dickens with the country generally.
Business requires not only" an unva
rying medium of exchange, but it
requires unchanging laws. Only
.with these two conditions will con
servative business men use their
money. Under other conditions
business is no longer business, but
speculating and gambliug.
The country will take a long
breath of .relief when the bill is
passed, and it is sincerely hoped that
when it is passed our people will be
let alone to work out their one sal
vation. They can and will do it all
right if given the opportunity, and
letting the tariff laws alone will fur
nish it.
Report comes from Goldendale
that David Johnson is on his way
out - to Mt. Adams to find a mine, or
the mine which an old .Dutchman
used to go to every summer out in
that section. The old Dutchman
was no myth, having lived here, and
it is true- that he used to go out to
the Mt. Adams neighborhood. His
mine, however, we believe to have
existed principally in his head. The
writer hereof has taken considerable
pains to trace the old fellow, and the
stories concerning him. He used to
go out every summer, and on sev
eral occasions took parties with him
as far as Trout lake, or even beyond
it, hut always gave them the slip.
We believe the story of his finding a
mine is untrue, for he never had any
gold. From Lalf an ounce to an
ounce was as much as he ever could
show after one of bis trips, and that
amount can be gathered in that
neighborhood at an3' time within a
month, The truth, we think, is that
the old fellow was a "little off," and
the fellows who go hunting his mine
will find that they have been fooled
