N SHE SUCCEEDED. An old lady in rural England sur- prised her friends by announcing at table one night that she would go to London in June to see the jubilee pro- cession. Some of her relatives warned her of the burdens of age and failing health, but she would not listen to their objections. “I know," She said “that I am eighty- three, but Iwas in Westminster Abbey when the queem was crowned, and I shall go up to London to see the jub- ilee parade " 'l‘he objectors shifted their ground. They mentioned the high prices which windows and platform seats were al- ready commanding, and suggested that she was hardly rich enough to hire any place along the six-mile route "I shall arrange that little detail," she replied, confidently. “I Shall write to the queen about it. She will know my name, for it is one of the oldest in Eng- land. She will insist upon having a seat previded for me." The old lady's enthusiasm amused her friends, but she was wiser than they were. She wrote arespectful letter to the queen, relating her good fortune in having been a witness of the coronation service, and also of the first iubilee fes- tivities ten years ago, and adding that although she was eighty-three and very feeble, she was bent upon going up to London and seeing the second jubilee show. The letter was sent to Windsor pal- ace. and was answered by the queen herself with little delay. She was touched by the old lady's anxiety to witness the parade, and moreover re- t‘pgnized the name as one which had come down from the era of the Norman Conquest. The reply was cordial and gracious, and was in the queen's own hand. She thanked her correspondent for the loyal interest displayed, and announced that she had given orders that awiindow in Buckingham Palace Should be reserved for her on the day of the. jubilee _parade._ She _h0ped that one of 'the old'est amd most feSpected of her aubjexts would live to occupy a seat in the window. When this gracimxs letter was receiv- ed the old lady was triumphant. and all herfriends were mulled upon to re- joins: _w1t.h ber._ ”I knew," she told them, "that tne queen bed a kind heart, and also egood memory for a historic name like mune." The queen has awomanly instinct in audit matters. She knew how much pleasure she could confer upon a worthy lady of ancient lineage by exce timal kindness and honor. Bethought uland considerate deeds like this she has en- dured herself to her subjects. PERKINS RULER.

It is fifty-two miles from For- ty Mile Post. which is the nearest large station. From Juneau it is six hundred and fifty miles in a northwest coast. Dawson. the headquarters of the new diggings. is at the junction of the Klondike and Yukon rivers. The pop- ulation last June in Dawson was 1.- The discovery of this new northern bonanza. was an accident as mining discoveries uusually are. An old Yu- kon miner. George Corman. who had lived for twenty years under the arc- tic circle, and who had made little money in and this time, went up to the confluence of the Klondike and Yukon rivers to fish for salmon. which usually run in large quantities in the Yukon River at that point at the end of spring. He arrived at the place in June, 1896. The salmon did not run. and hence he had recourse to prospect- E The news of the extraordinary find ;spread with great rapidity down the ; Yukon. and in a few weeks most of the old mining-camps for 1000 miles down the river were partially abandoned, and ; the few people who had been working ; in mines that paid from, 35 to 820 a ; day arrived at the new bonanza. Around iLadue's old mill sprang up atown of '; tents and shanties, which Ladue nam- ' ed Dawson, in honor of the original Bri- tish surveyor. who mapped out all this ; tar northern territory. The Alaska LOOmmercial Company sent in all the ' provisions that it could ather up from its stations, but most 0 thlfl food did g not reach the camp until the following .spring. There would have been actu- al famine in this little remote mining district had not one man had the fore- sight to bring in flood. This was Clap, enoe Berry. a young farmer from Free- mo .County. California. who had been LL !_ J!£‘____.L ancma ‘â€" ‘L‘ ing in the creeks that empty into the Klondike a few miles above its mouth. He knew that this territory. had been prospeeted by experts. and that their decision was that there was no gold in paying quantities north of the Yukon, and especially in the British possessions where he then was. He travelled up the Klondike three miles. than made his way through tan- gled thickets up a little stream with precipitous sides. He had two Indians with him. and the three set to work to prospect in the primitive Yukon fashion. that is they cut wood. set fires every night on the ground to thaw out the frozen gravel, and each day dug out of the prospect hole the loose earth which was thawed down not over twelve inches by the fire. In this way. in about ten days they reach- ed bed-rock at a depth of fifteen feet. when Cormao was astonished to pan out from the loose dirt near bed-rock from FIFTY TO ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS in coarse gold to the pan. By this time his provisions were nearly exhausted, so he sent an Indian to Forty Mile Post. fifty-two miles away, for supplies he remaining on the ground to prospect further. He also sent a note to sev- eral of his friends in Forty Mile Post, telling them of his discoveries. Several men responded and came up. took up claims. and began to prospect; but it was not until nearly three months had pa_ssed before a‘ny o_ne came '“wâ€"o “-â€" in with an adequate supply of provi- sions, and with tools to work the claims properly. These men soon took out sev- eral thousand dollars' worth of gold dust, and it was the return of two of his party to Forty Mile Post, late in the (all, which led to the unprecedent- ed gold rush to this little camp. Not fifty able-bodied men out of a popu- lation of 1,500 were left in the camp three days after this gold-dust was brohghrt in. -n â€"v_â€" With the mercury 53 degrees below zero, with snow covering the ground in every direction. the party packed their household goods on sledgee, and with dogs and by hand they pulled these sledges over the ice of the Yukon and over the snowy fietdsnnt'll‘the‘x reach: ed the junction of the Klondike and Yukon rivers, where there was a small settlement gathered around a little saw mill operated by Joe Ladue. one of the old Alaska Counpany's traders.

The curious feature of the develop- ment of this mp is that it should have remained for six months unvisâ€" ited except by men already on the Yu- kon. As early as last January, Wil- liam Ogilvie's official reports of the ex- traordinary richness of the pay dirt in these claims reached Ottawa. Because l Ogilvie was a surveyor ”and pot amin: er; all the experts in Canada as well as in this country pronounced his re- ports wildly exaggerated. Even as late as last March reports also came out to Juneau. brought by William Carr. the regular mail carrier. and these also were discredited by the great majority of mining men in Alâ€" aska and in this country. It was not until__s_pring opened and _men._ return- until spring opened and men, return- ed with sacks and cans of gold-dust as practical proof of the richness of this district that the rush actually began. Then every steamer to the north from Seattle and Victoria was crowded, and every one who could leave Juneau or St. Michael took an outfit of provisions anfc‘l started for the camp. “â€" One returning prospector. J. 0. Bestâ€" WOOd. of Seattle, told. to my mind. the most remarkable story of all these pro- Spectors. He had mined an the Yukon for three years. The first year he con- tracted the scurvey from living exclu- sively on salt pork and beans. and was brought out of the territoryoaol- most in a dying condition. With spirit unimpaired,. he returned the next_sea- 800. but his claims anned out onl a meagre living. Then e returned to 1- Lfornia and delivered a series of leo- tures through the State on! the re- sources and the wonders of Alaska. il- lustrated with steroptioon views. In this way he made enough money to fur- nish him an outfit, and he was at Gla- cier Creek near the Klondike when the news of the discovery came. He prompt- ly Packed up his belongings, and was among the first to reach the new camp. He took up a. claim, but the prospects did not please him, and as others were disappointed in sinking their first shafts, be abandoned the camp and started down the river. HIS BOA-T BROKE DOWN and he was compelled to return on foot t9 the new mining district. By this tune pans of dirt ranging from 3500 down to $125 had been found in sev- eral claims, and he at once proceeded to develop his propert . He worked throughout the season, king a couple ofmmenfio help him._ The richness of this pay dirt may be appreciated when it is said that Mrs. Clarence Berry. the wife of the man who made the rich-est clean-nu in the camp .was accustomed to visit the dump of dirt at her husband's claim. every day. and with a sharp stick to disinte- grate some of these half-frozen clouds of dirt which showed traces of yel- low metal. In this way she actually picked out b hand during three months nearly $3 in nuggets. One of these nuggets that she obtained from afroz- en clod is valued at 8250, and rwemâ€" ges in shape and size a medium-sized po- to. When the spring came. and the water rushed dOWn through tho crooks, tho miners were all prepared to take ad- vantage of it. They had built sluioes of the most primitive style. but al- though they had no quick-silver, they were enabled to save the greater part of their gold because of its weight. In the sluices, mt. distances of six inches. they built little riffles of wood. which caught the gold as the water brought the mingled earth and metal down through the sluice. Mr. Hestwood esti- mates that they saved ninety per cent. of all the gold in the earth. 'Aznot‘her remarkable feature is that this dirt. laboriously thrown up on the banks of the creek during six months of the hard winter, was all sluiced out within two weeks. The clean-up. a§ miners call it: It would require columns to give any adequate descri. tion of the exception- al features of t is mining~camp under the arctic circle. Everything is of the crudest description. Material. tools and all supplies are extremely costly. far beyond the coat even in such remote desert camps as Coolgardie in Aus- tralia. During the winter flour sold at $60 a hundred pounds, bacon sold at from 50 cents to a. dollar a pound. Dried fruit, which is absolutely indis- pensable in the miner’s dietary. sold at of the claims on the Bonanza and El Dorado creeks averaged 85000 and up- wards: It is an equaL'ly REMARKABLE F ACT that not a single miner of the 300 who staked out claims on Bonanza Creek drew a blank.

No portion of the face could be exposed without attacks from these pests.
