Vancouver Rtgirter: While numerous
other questions sre claiming the attention
of the territory, including the aspirations
of politicians, the question of the perma
nent location of the capital is one not
without interest and one that is receiving
pome attention by the different towns as
piring to that honor. North Yakima puts
forth a claim and suggests among other
things the importance to the river coun
ties of having the capital located at that
point. There is ranch force in the argu
ment they present, and we should not be
disappointed if the cap’tal were located
at Yakima. No town that is likely to
receive that honor will be more accept
able to Vancouver than North Yakima.
One thing in sore, the location of the cap
ital at that point would certainly expedite
the building of the Vancouver, Klickitat
A Yakima railroad. {
ALASKA GOLD MINES.
Largest Kill in th World, Witt MO
Stamps in Operation.
Interesting History of the Bl« (>«U
nna Milter Stines In the Pacific
Mwrth west.
At the bai-e of a :reat ni»»isture-oteani
ing mountain on Ikat.las island, three
miles distant on the other si-!e of Gustin
eau channel ia the “Paris” gold mine, or.
a** it is commonly •wiled in Jeneau. the
Treadwell mine. The projiwiy is im
mensely valuable It is owned hy Col.
J. 1). F»ye, an urbane, white-haired Kan
Francisco millionaire, and several other
nalmlisof the Califo'-iii.i me(ro,>olis. It
has iieen o ( «rale«l only for u few year*.
The largest stamp mill in tlie word (2+J
stamps) bus been erected on t, and is
producing such rich returns as to pot the
value of the mine away up into the ai- : .»-
tocratic neighliorhood of * 10.0» , 00.
The “Paris’’ enter* at a narrow gulch
into the Irase of one of the riwged moun
tains which makes up Douulas island.
The vein of ore is 47 feet wide and has
been to)lowed downwards to a depth of
280 feet without the bottom of the ore
lieing found. Is it any wonder that Col.
Frye wears u smiling •■oumenance just
aliove Ids necktie.
The ore is of a low grade, yielding from
pi to fl2 per ton of quartz, but the im
mense quantities of rock which are
crushed make the gross product immense
ly profitable, tlie cheap chlorine process
being used to extract the metal from the
pulverized mess. Aa each stamp breaks
two and one-haM tons jier day, and as ll»e
Paris bus 2U) of these iron and steel mus
t cators. Colonel Frye can get away with
6X) bms of Douglas islsnd every day
that his mill runs at its full speed and
capacity.
Ikrtigl; s Island ia six miles wide and
twenty miles long. How much of its
rock Is auriferous noliody knows. Claims
have been slaked off in every direction.
An En;Jiah company is now erecting a
120-stair.p mill on tlie claim adjoining the
“Paris, ’’ and exj*ecis to pick golden ergs
out of the “Bear’s Nest,” aa its property
is called, within a short time.
Tha history of gold mining on t he island
is not a long one. About 8 years some
prospectors discovered traces of loose
placer gold in (he decomposed rock on the
surface and staked a claim which, with
careful sluicing, yielded between ffi ),000
and (70,0U) before the “mould” waa ex
hausted. Strange to say, they did not
think it worth while to examine the bed
rock, which they supposed to he value
less. One of them, however, Mr. John
Treadwell, was an old miner in sore need
of a “raise,” and looked carefully over
the rock which his comrades had neg
lected. Finding traces of pay ore, he
managed quietly to luiy up the whole
claim for $S 4). Tlien he started to Han
Francisco to interview some of tlie gold
kings there, and. If possible to secure
capital to build a quarts mill ou bis prop
erty. Tlie men of wealth won* not eager
to experiment in (tolar nines; hut at
length Mr. Treadwell succeeded in Inter
esting Col. J. D. Frye and several other
Californians, who advanced the money to
erect a five-stamp mill as partners with
Mr. Treadwell. The mill arrived in Ju
neau about five years ago. Treadwell
soon had it put together and drove a tun
nel into the rock. Tlie indications were
so satisfactory that the cash was advanced
fora 12v>-stamp mill. It was s|m edily
erected, and in a very short time ground
out hundreds of thousands of dollars, to
the great delight of the investors. The
amount of the golden harvest was kept
secret: Isit last year 120 more stamps
were set agoing, making the coot of the
milling property run up to something like
f1,600,000, which isa sufficient evidence
that the previous investment had proved
satisfactory. All the stamps were under
one roof, and they have ample work to
I keep them running. Tlie ore seems to be
i inexhaustible.
i Treadwell, the discoverer of the mine,
remained for a time as superintendent,
. and accumulated a fortune. Recently,
I however, he fell into liad health, and re
[ tired, selling out his interest to Col. Frye
; and hia partners. Col. Frye Is an econo
! mist who counts every dollar to be worth
at least IJO cents, and a good many a’o-
Hea of hia mans .ement since Treadwell's
retirement are afloat in Juneau. One
piece of voasip has it that he was sma ed
and disgusted to learn that the miners at
“Paris” were allowed pie at tl»eir dinners
at the company's expense, and forth vith
abolished the pie as an unseemly extrav
agance.
This tale may he touched with an ele
ment of doubt; probably ft could not be
proven to the satisfaction of a Jury; hut
at least it illustrates a fact, and the fact
illustrates In an inatrnrtlve way how •
millionaire may expect to stay rich.
With the the exception of the Paris and
the Rear’s Nest, no mines are in process
of actual development on Donglaa island.
There is no capital here, and tha returns
to tie expected from the large investments
required for the erection of machinery
are too uncertain to attract capital from
the east.
On Admiralty ialan I. just north of
DooJns. Indication* nl .old have been
found and claims have been staked off.
but no work has vet been done. The era
where found is of low grade, so that with
out expensive machinery no profit can
lie made, and the amount ..f ore to I e
worked has not been ascertained.
On the mainland ju»t hack of Juneau
in a gulch which cun only be readied af
ter a struggle through three miles of mud
ami water. When you net there you are
in silver How basin, which la something
of a misnomer, aince the ro.-k is freckh-d
not with silver, but with gold. In this

Mountain and the Juneau Gold Minion
com|*an>*a claim. Owimr to the altitude
of the I-sies ami .he lack of water at that!
hei.ht, tin mill owners are oldigel to
build tramways resembling coal elevators 1
to lower the quartz to the ndlla. The
tramways work automatically, the 10.de.1
cars on the down gra«le pulling the empty ,
I cars at the other eml of the cable. The
| plant of the Takou will .-ost alien com

I iniiicrs nets I have no fear of sunstroke
i even in July. The veins of o*e in the
! basin do not crop out extensively H ) the
: surface. They are lielievtd to la* smaller
in si/e, hut of higher than that of I
the Treadwell mine. All of the o-v yet |
found in Alaska is of a quality known as
“free milling ore,” ami can he easily
worked.
Outside of the three Basin mines no
quarts mills are being constructed on the
mainland; but the country Is covered
with claims slaked out by enthusiastic
miners who expect to realise fortunes from
them some day.
A recent silver diocovery has greatly
| excited the tow n and will proladily had
to a new influx of miners and prospect
ors. Some th'ee weeks ago three ptoa
pectors were sidling along the shore of
Holcomb hay, sixty miles from Juneau,
when one of them, from some trivial
cause, took a notion to land. When he
waa put ashore he though tic-sly raised
his pick and struck a random blow at the {
iwk by the lieach. A piece was diipp d
off, and as it fell the gleam of the quart/,
caught his eye. Picking it up he exam
ined it with close attention, and then, in !
K eat excitement, called to his compan
ions to (Mill ashore. The three soon hail i
their heads close togetiier over the quarts j
and their joy may be imagine I when it
dawned npon their minds that th y hud
“•truck it rich.” The quarts was full of J
silver. Specimens of the rock were |
taken, claims staked off, and the happy |
men returned to Jm.ean. An assay of:
the ore showed it to contain f*om 5kM to j
4jo ounces of silver per ton ol quart/, j
The news sp< edily leaked out, and all the J
Is oils of the town wore chart emi by pros
-1 lectors, who nailed or rowed down to the
new Eldorado. Many of them are there
yet. and many claims have Iteen staked
oil in the vicinity ol the ori.inal strike, j
A ion of ore from the original claim is*
now on lU wrav to Han Francoso to be ex
perimentally milled. The claim bus at-,
ready changed hands several times, and (
is now held by a dozen men in partner
ship. Its value is still purely s|ieculative,
hut it is held at from 'ti .' 4> to fl.O, Wj.
Verily. Al-»*kil is a land of gn at ex
|SH-tutions, but thus far of few naliza
tions. That gold and silver are to l«e
found in large and paying quantities
among the almost inaccessible hills is
more than probable. Pnwqiectin;, how
ever, is exceedingly difficult, and there
am lar„e tracts of country Into which the
hunliest miners have found it impossible
to force their way.
The forests of Alaska are pe>uliar,
clinked with fallen trees and morasses,
into which a man may sink up to his
armpits, not to speak of other obstacles,
which make pio .ress through the tangled
mass always laborious ami sometimes
imposHible.
Within the last few years many old
miners have flocked into this country
from Csesler region on tb<‘ Ktikecn river,
B. Cm and many have come from Califor
nia and Nevada. There are people enough
and to spare to take care of all the gold
and silver. It is not at all adviriMe for
men who are making a living In thestatca
to come to Alaska with the lK>(«e of mak
ing thiir fortunes. There is a fair amount
of common labor to lie had in the mines
and at the salmon canneries. The can
neries, however, empl »y mostly China
meu and Indians, ami pay small wages,
rarely more than 2 pr day. Tlie gold
miner who comes to southern Alaska
most have bis mind ma*ie up sliont one
thing, and that Is th it there fifty ch races
to one against his making a fortune.
What tl»e inter or of tlie country may
yet prove to b* bo one cat foresee. There

One need not lie very old to have a dis
tinct mollya l ion of hi* daily life, its con*
<ti lons un«l environments, &*< years a.ai,
when the patent system of the United
Ms ea was in its early infancy. Then the
< atuntry was almost entirely agricultural,
for our grand career in manufactures ami
the industrial arts wss just Iwgiuning.
It virtusjly began with the patent sys
tem—the creation of the patent ofth e—
and it has actually kept pate with the
development of that system, so that this
I magnificent progress stands as the indis
I putable result <4 tlie system. In other
words, we owe out; splendid achieve
j meats In manufactures ami the arts to
the stimulus that the patent Uwa have
given to invention.
Fifty years ago most of the people of
tlie United Htates were clothed from the
products of tlie domestic spinning wheel
and hand loom. Th« itinerant
shoemaker went from haaise to house,
setting up his liench and plying liisvora
! flaw in the fanners’ kitchens. There .
were no planing mills; no ihops for
manufacture of alaiors. sashes ami blinds.
AM the work of the builder, im-lualing
carpenters’ anal joiners' work, was done
by h;md. The. srpeuter, if a gooal one,
gag a dollar a day. Coni wss consumed
by list a few peofde llien, In toe large
cities, and liy no one in the smaller
towns. The isiiora. like the shaicmakers,
came to the Imuse and maaie into cloth
ing the cloth made by tlie mother and
daughters, wlb « little help from the
fulling mill, that was g•m rally near tha
grist mill of the neighborhood. Tha rail* 1
road and tele, raph bail not yet adaied ,
tl e r |M>wer to the haves of civilisation. |
Tlds year, Ifttff, is no more like IrttSthsn I
the hand loom la like a cotton factory. (
‘Hotter fifty yenra id Knrope than a cyclei J
of CaUny.” Belter one year of the life)
that is lived under the new comlitions :
than any numtier of veers of the bard
existence that was drudged rt nt under the:
old comlitions. It is only the hopelessly*
pessimistic son), the ronsttrut tonal and i
incurable grumbler, that does not recog*
nise the blessings that have come with <
the march » f invent on. For all those,
let it Im> Issue ia mind, we are Imlebted ,
to tlie system Iliat has fostered invention, j
and secured to n ran tors the right to
enjoy the products a.f tlieir own bratoe

A ma wt remarkable character has just
t«en unearthed at Keadiug, Pa. He Is a

; Iliu UKi i.r Zulu, lie iiua made a religion
entiniy hla own, nihl has evolved out of
it Mime three humlroal or more goda who
dwell iu and sjeuk ilirough the same
imiuU-r of ialols of clay, which form the
chief furn.lure of Ida house. He ia con
stantly making the acmjaintanee of some
new su}«rnutnrul lieinga, and as soon as
i lie d«*n so he proceed* to make an image,
whi*-li ia mipposed to represent the out*
ward ami physical habiliments of the
new divinity. Ail of his gods ore hollow,
and are filled from time to time with
food a* he Uiink'a their peculiar nature
demand*. Among others he has s god of
medicine. This la filled with pills ami
<sli| prescriptions, and whenever he (eola
unwell he prays to tills divinity, and al*
ways, he says, with beneficial, results.
He luia a god of sewing machines which
is tilled with blank contract* lor the pur
chase of machines on the installment
plan. He elabus that tlie worship of
this god will lielp anyone to get a sew ing
machine, though no instances of its suc
cessful use are given. He lias one image
which lie call* the g«d of presciiers and
says it has a •oagrepiUoß of 3dU in its
stomach. He has one god which he oays
iia iaholmad »*y his own celestial spirit,
j mid am4h r which couUiua the apirit of
| his motiier.
The g.sl of the Beading railroad com
pany o rupies a prominent poaition
Uiiofu hi* collection. The interior of the
pal i* lllie 1 with cabbage, and its partic
ular mission U to keep cows off the track,
mid prevent 01*1 Identa generally. There
is a god of horses tilled with hay and
oala, a god of fruit filled with apples, u
g«sl of weallier that regulates storms and
floods, a goil of watermelons, a god of
truth, which is in the sliape of a hand,
ami go is which represent almost every
thing imaginable.
He bos these images set up on the
, shelves in hie cellar and garret and wor
ships them, constantly according to his
, needs. His namo is William Christoph
his home is at No. 014
LiM-UHt, where he live# with his wife and
six children. He is a brick maker by
trade,, sod works regularly at one of the
brick yards of the city, occupying all of
. his spare time with his idols, which he
, fashions nut of clsy obtained at the brick
yard. Ha is a I’ennayivania .Dutchman
and -WHIM* speak £ngi all. Is unlettered,
and can scarcely mad, so that all his
stranut I*loan ulaait the di hies which he
wtishi.wart evolved from hi*own imag
■ inut ion. A great manv ot be gcaals are
j •>upi|swo*l to contain, ihe. spir.ta of his
friends, living or tlend, but he baa gtsls
also which represent tlmse whooi he con
ni lam his enemies. Tiwte ha has ret
apart by themselves and ho.treats them
with grsut defetomw awl consideration,
an as to plsesta them and ward off as
I much os pnss.ble any harm they may in
tend toward him.
ClemtinV* mania dors not seem in in
terfere at all with bis regular occupations,
titough the purchase of food for them
cuts down somewhat the supply for his
family. He is allowed to have his way
in tlia matter, however, lest if ha should
lie thwarted he might become violent.
H»o images are very rudo and inartistic,
lmt there m considerable expression in
the face, rail ward lineament* are supposed
to be a reflection of tha particular spirit
within. Ho has been three years in
making the collection, and It ia hia am
bition to bu.ld a temple on Mount Penn
as « permanent home for his deities,
where they con he worshipped and con
sulted by everybody. He pretends that
tie haw revelations every day from some
<>f his gods, ami th.it they regulate every
action of hie life and tell him what to do
In every emergency.
Clemmer allows no one to meddle with
h!w idols when he Is not at home, but
w hen he la there lie la glad to show and
•Nplain th- m to any one, and endeavors
to impress every one with his peculiar
U*liefs, having no doubt that all the
world will sooner or later see tbs necea
>dly of consulting his gods.
