It Shosld Be ‘Taken With a Liberal Amount of Salt, = On the-authority of Jack Hayes, the Circle City mail carrier, the Alaska Mining Record of June 30th says: Much excitement prevails all through . the Yukon district over the Clondyke. discoveries, and all kinds of stories of the riches there are told, many of which Mr, Hayes says are true. It is . trae that two “tenderfeet,” railroad men from Los Angeles, Cal.—Frank struck it rich. They went in a year ago and located on the Clondyke last . fall, Olemens sold. his interest for $35,000 cash, and his partner, Summers, held on two weeks later and got $50,00U. ‘The money to pay the men -was taken out of the dump which had been-lifted from the shaft on the claim during the winter. i These two men had each panned ont $2500 on their claim while prospecting it. The man that bought Clemens’ interest bound the bargain with a $282 nugget which had been taken from the claim—the largest nugget yet found on the Olondyke. Summers is a single man; Clemens has a wife and twe children in Los Angeles, Cal. It is said that both will come out on the nxt boat via St. Michaels, bringing with them their: little fortunes. Neither man had ever had any experience in mining. , as Johnnie Marks got $10,000 for a quarter interest in his claim.: “Murph” Thorp has a claim out of which several pans have been taken which Went $35 and $40 to.the pan: Billy Leake bought a claim from Tim Bell for $31,000 cash; Bell originally paid $85 for the claim. The owner of the adjoining claim says that he is positive that Leake will take out a half million fromthe claim. Alex MeDonald took one pan from his claim which tipped the scales to the tune of $800, and offered a-wager of $1000 that he could pick his dirt and in twenty minutes get a pan that would go 100 ounces—$1600; no one cared to cover the wager. Lucky Pete Wiborg, who has takén out more than $40,000 from Birch creek, is in the swim at Clondyke. A Mr, Clemens, cousin of Samuel L. Clemens, better known as Mark Twain, refused $10,000 for his chances on El Dorado. Other lucky ones are James Monroe, Doc. Owens and Olarence Berry. Those who know say Berry will take out $50,000 to $100,000 this season. . Dick Lowe is panning for a living and is taking out the modest sum of $100 per day. According to the latest reports there are 2000 men in Clondyke. The Hills Route Finished. . “The men whc-have been at work un‘der the direction of Col. George Stone making a survey of a proposed railroad route between Marysville and Nevada ‘City have finished -that. part in the ‘hills. Two routes were run from Grass Valley to thé plains and the work in the field has discontinued. Surveyor Bartlett has gone to San Francisco to make a map of the routes and report on the same. eee ee Chance For Nevada Cityans. ‘There is a chance for some enterprising Nevada City speculators to get rich at. Marysville during the six days of racing there next month. The matter up-/A Std Blow o-Some Nevada scm They Were ‘About to Go to Sutter County to Inspect'the Alleged Invention. — A \ i Mio “ius For several months past rumors have: ‘been ‘circulating around the State of} the building of an airship at the Schilfig yanch on the bank of the Sacrament river in the western part of Sut-. ter county. These stories have been coming throngh the papers and several residents of that locality who have hap pened this way lately on camping tripshave in a measure verified them. 4 It now turns out that the whole story from first to last was a fake. Last March Tom Sherwood of the Marysville Democrat’ was out among the -hayseeds drumming up subscribers for his paper,. when he cume to. the Schillig place. Finding Nobody around the house he:.strolled out. towards the cow-yard to take 4 look at the blooded stock till somebody put in al appearance. Hearing the noise of hammering and sawing in the barn he went to the dvor\of the building and found it locked. Peeking through a crack he saw Farmer Schillig and his hired man inside building a queer looking big thing with long arms that were a cross between birds’ wings and sculling oars, “Hullo there!” shouted editor Sherwood pytting his mouth to a knothole. ‘4 Both the workmen dropped. their tools and looked around in a startled and guilty way. ’ “Hullo, I say,” repeated Sherwood. “Tf you don’t clear out of here Til make.you wish you’d never come,” yelled the honest. rancher .grabbing a broad-ax and rushing for the door, the hired map brandishing a big chisel and bringing up the rear. -Sherwood coneluded to cut and run, and while he was trying to decide which way to go the excited workmen bolted out of the building. “By gosh, if it ain’t old Tom Sher. wood,” exclaimed the farmer dropping his ax, And then they had a laugh and . a handshake, and Schillig said to the . hired man: “Here, Jake, shake hands ' with my friend Sherwood from Marys. my hired man Jake.” Editor Sherwood was of course curi. ous to know why his simple salutation . through the knot-hole had caused such . consternation. Of course he asked. .
