are those of the Yukon fields. In sink
ing shafts and foUowing veins in other
parts of the earth dynamite powder and
blasting are employed. 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

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.

death called him, as be had done when

My friends, it in useless for you to
send anathemas to this paper directed
against the members of state or national
committees. 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

you. —Nonconformist.
