' The trail of '&K was no path of I
roses, according to H, F. Hi)
Meader, who w&a one of the boys ;
who packed Ms bclooKlnge over j
his hack and struck out from Low
ell, Washington, in January of that I
year. ' In fact, the well Jcnown
"yellow trail" compared favorably
with tho rocky road to Dublin, ao
far as hardships were concerned,
and Mr. Meader. who was an en
thusiastic youth In those days, had
hia share of thom.
Hp and a young friend of his
had thpir hearts set on getting up
to Adlln, and lost considerable
time shaping tfielr plans for that
trip, when they found out it Was
'mnosslble. Tho railroad was being
built at Bkagway.and when they
reached that town they found that
It woulObe Impossible for tho in to
get Into Dawson, the center of the
mining activity, until spring. So
they were forced to stay In Pkag
way through th winter. .,-
They took a Job on tho railroad,
and it lasted one day. Mr. Meader
decided he wasn't temperamentally
suited to working on a railroad.
Thero were r u in 0 r s of strikes
around 8k airway, and the local man
says ho recalls one time, when that
whole town was deserted. as mon
'n't thlt places of , business and
their jobs and went blindly In the
direction of the . reported strike.
Joins' Party. . ,r
Moon M iv Meader had a chance
to Join an oxplorlif? expedition up
tho river, He packed his good
clothes and what treasured belong
ings he took ttftfng from Lowell,
and stored them in a small cabin
in tikagwny.
With 1G head of mules and five
horses they went down McCllntoek
rlVcr on tho frozen Ice. When it
began to break, they relayed on
the banks of the river and finally
canped at a Canadian police camp
on the side of the river. Later.
Mr.' Meader and his friend went
buck across the. river to the other
side to pick uiWiome supplies they
hadn't been able carry on the
first trip. Thi Ice melted so rapt
Idly that both men and mules were
forced tu awim across the next 1
time.
: One of Mr. Meader's most Inter
"Sting experiences was a chance he
had to pilot one of three scows
down tho river from Kkauway to
Dawson. One of the skows hud
40 head Df beef cattle; another had
HI head of live hogs, and tho third
oh. piloted by Mr. AlHader, had a
rMlnir tony and packs of supplle.t.
As they neared tho Klvo-Flnger
rapids, the first boat went around
the stream to ."afuty, but the one
With thi Qlgs Orlf'ed tho wrong
way up a atono formation In the
water.
It was noncyry to tip the hbprs
off Into tho water, to get (lie scow
off the rock, and then load the
swimming pigs onto the vessel
again. One pig was blind, accord
ing to Mr. Meader, and kept swim
ming around in circles, which ne
cessitated considerable -maneuvering
to get It steered In the right
direction. All but 10 of tho pigs
wero loaded onto tho boat, and
these swam ashore. The scow was
pulled up to the bank and hitched
to a tree, ana the 10 misdirected
pigs shoved aboard for tho remain
der of tho danKeroua journey.
Mr. Meader filed a claim at Daw
son with his I aKt remaining 916.
but due to the happy-go-lucky
spirit of tho miners, among whom
he had made many friends, he had
no difficulty In raising money for
living expenses and development.
. Later, ho and a group nf others
bought from tho Dominion gov
ernment ihe cabin, Claim and
equipment of a miner who had
frozen to death at his camp a short
time earlier. Tho equipment was
a covered up by Ice and snow.
Mr. Meader went down to his other
claim and found that his equip
ment had been cut out of tho ice
by another group of miners, near
by. Ho identified It and gave them
until dinner time to return It to
Ws camp. It was returned and he
transported it to the new camp.
Ho remembers at that tlmo that
.Seth Lowe, well known miner, look
over $6uo.uO() out of a shallow
claim jMutf above Discovery, and
that the Lilly gold strike of over
half a million dollars 'wAs trans
ported through the streets of Daw
son In a, wagon, on Us way to the
boat. -
Lota of Talent,
There were plenty of talented
actresses and entertainers In Daw
son at Hint time, according to the
local man. One talented lady was
the owner . of tho Damflno dance
hall. Tho ctiKinecr who worked
on the ciaim with Mr, Meader at
tended another danec hall one
n'hr, where hls wn'rtalner was a
guest, and after having danced a
few dancos with her asked to es
cort her home.
"Where do you live?" asked the
engineer, In his most tmllant and
suave manner. O
"Damflno," returned tho enter
tainer. "Well, if you don't know, who In
h does?" asked tho engineer, a
bit nettled.
And Mr. Meader earned his free

CELESTIAL' IDENTITY
During the clear, crisp nights
hat have existed here for the past
week or more several stars have
shown particularly brilliantly and
prominently over others, causing
much admiration and woncer as to
jut what stars they were, especial
ly among the many residents not
versed in astrology, and even
a mo hk those who have only a
smattering . knowledge or the
planets.
Many have been the questions
inked here lately by .citizens re
garding these stars, and as l'rof.

know a star from a member of the

the Mall Tribune until now has
been unable to tell the Identity of
these stars.
