There is a noticeable tendency over the state, probably induced by the Klondike craze, of involved business men to silently fold their tents and steal away. Some adopt the method of carting away their stock at night; others give bills of sale to preferred creditors.

A Southern Oregon placer clean-up of gold valued at ♦75.IMIO has been on exhibition in a Portland jewelers window, keeping a dense crowd peer ing in with rapturous eves. It ought to stem the Klondike tide and turn it in the direction of greater activity in mining at home, where there is less hardship to encounter.
