THE SUMPTER MINER. VINSON "IN IT" UP TO HIS NECK. Makes a Sensationally Rich Strike in the Carroll B. largest weighing nineteen ounces and in other sixteen, the two being worth about $700. A few days since one valued at J105 was picked up and was being dis played on the streets yesterday by one of the men who had been working there and had bought It. Mr. Parker was the dis coverer of these diggings, In i865. From him the postolfice of Parkersvllle takes its name. PIONEER OF CIVILIZATION. Imitated jsl Equaled Wednesday, October 10, igco V .. ' "?

A MINER representative, in order to verify the apparently sensational news of W. l Viiison's great strike in the Car rol B mine, went down there and did the Missouri act; let them "show him." That Mr. Vinson Is certainly one of the lucky few, there Is no doubt. On a pros pect located in what is often said to be a "stringer" and a "pockety" district, and also one that had been turned diwn by yellow legged experts and other wise ones, he obtained a bond and began to carry out some ideas of his own, with the result that he has opened up in a few days enough of a vein and with values rich civilization Into the desolate and luhnplt able regions on the edge of the Arctic cir cle. As If by a magician's wand, the in dustry has created cities of large popula tion where five years ago no man would .have beep rash enough to suppose the es tablishment of a human settlement was possible. And Into these there have since been introduced many of the comforts, conveniences and luxuries of modern civ ilized life. On the bleak banks of the Yukon and its tributaries and on the deso late shores of the Arctic sea such cities have, howeversprung into being under the Inspiration of mining ft r gold, nud railroads and telegraphs are following as fast as capital and human energy and en terprise can provide them. Civilization has established itself per manently in these Inhospitable regions be cause mining promises to be a permanent occupation there, as valuable and Inex haustible bodies of other useful minerals have been found to be present. Railroads have already been built and are to be ex tended. 'I he Canadian government is enough to be able to pay the bonded price I ,0 building a line into I awsnn City at within a month.
