WHAT IS THE KIONDYKE TO THIS?
A Land of Ooid, Beside Which the
Claims of Arctic Wealth |
Dwindie to Dross. |
(From the American Astonisher of Nov. 9, 1007.) |
A. Hustler arrived in this city to-day
on the belated schooner Prosperity.
bringing sccounts of a new gold field
that has been opened in the Rocky |
Mountains, in the western portion of
the United states. He telis tales of gold |
before which the recent Klondyke ex- 1
citement must fade into insignificance
and brings in support gold bricks, nug
gets and dust that attest beyond ques
tion the existence of the coveted miner
al in plethoric euantities.
Huitler was seen st the Gold Bug ho
tel soon afier bis arrival sod the ac
counts mof the new discovery
appear vof credence. He tells &
seralghifor " smory~widaly” .
{from the meager. nnestisfactory ones
| thet are now being ‘passed along from
| the land of the miduight sun. Wonder
ful as these tales of the gold of the
| Klondvke hava beex, the man from the
Hitlle known section of our own country
far eclipses them, and Hustler has rhe
| #old to beck up sli he tells, The Aston
isher was shown certified checks for
$8,000,000 in addition to the qusntities
of gold brought by the returned miner.
YThis {s the result of three years of
work,” declares Hustler as he spresd
the evidences of wealth before the re
porter.
Think of it, ya toilers! Thires million |
dollars io three vears! One man with
the wages of 10,000 for .an entire year.
Three yesrs ggo Hustler was employ
| ed on the railroad grade at Monotony.
He drifted wost into ‘the hesrt of the
Rocky Mountains and now returns from
the new country with this fortune equal
to that of a railcosd wrecker. Bat that
is not all. Hustler leaves bebind him
in the new country mines that are yield
ing him an annual income of $1,000,000
and according (o the ‘experts jn such
matters, will continue to do so. for un
counted years to come. 8
This the story as told by the Hustler:
“This country from which I come is
located between paraliel 37 and 52, and
meridians 107 and 110, It is not alto
gother an unkpown land, bus in some
parts of the United Stages is_little val
ued and the truths about the rickes s
not spprecisted. The firet disvovery
was made marly yesrs ago, and about
thirty years Lack there was some exciie
ment over sunouncemaepts of gold: die
coveries in that sectien. A few kindred
hardy pathfinders pughed ot there, bat
after & time the excitement disd down
and the wealth of the new. Kldorado was
forgotten. © 94
“It may be news to the teeming mil
lions of this sastern portion of our coun:
try to know thatthe few handfulls of
people who rushed opt. there thirty
years ago have incressed and multiplied
uatilthe gold fields are in this day
more or less thickly populated and that
toe hoat for the mining of the precious
metal bas gose on without ‘interraption
since the pioneer days. £
“Of the wealth of the new conutry
there can be no question. - Lest yesr the
production aggregated above $90,000,000,
the new field not being confined {o gold
