On the Yukon the gold dust is frozen into graved beds. The miners sink a shaft by building a fire and thawing their way down. As fast as the dirt is thawed out it is re moved and the fire started lower down in the earth. In this manner the men dig down 18 and 20 feet to bed rock. The gold is found in the gravel as it is thawed out and washed in the miners’ pans. Two men who went a year ago from Los Angeles located last fall a claim in the Klondike. They thia spring sold out, one for *36,000, the other for *60,- 000, and then returned to California. The plan of General Gomez in Cnba evidently is to come as near the city of Havana as possible, then by proclama tions and in other waya to arcuse th. enthusiasm of the people of the province and city of Havana for the insurgent cause. This he believes will start a Ara of patriotism in the stronghold itself of Weyler’s army which will reduce to ashes the last hope of Spanish dominion in Cuba. The plan is a bold one, with chances of success. A portion of Gen eral Gomez’s proclamation to the people of Havana is printed in the New York Sun. In that the patriot commindtr in ohief says: ‘‘We will accept neither reforms nor homo rule. We bare bad tniough of Spanish promises during 400 years of oppression. Spain must know this war is only for independence and that the Cubans will rather die than yield tc any other solution. The day we again lifted our flag of liberty we wrote on it, ' Independence or death. ’ ” These are splendid, ringing words.

This paper has a higher mission to perform than to air the petty grievances of men who have the power in their own hands to right the ills of which they enmplaiu. If your member of the committee is not satisfactory to yon, don’t expose to the whole nation your own failure to select a satisfactory man, bnt go to work in the caucus, in the ward, in the county convention, and follow it np to the state convention and aeeuie such representatives as will suit you. —Nonconformist.
