motber. who has a horror of the brutal
sport, poscponed the event as long as
possibie; but even she was unable to
override the ancient court precedent
that prescribes attendance on ball
fizbts as part of the education of a
Christian monarch. The little chap
viewed the sport without betraying
avy enihusiasm, and departed without
rewurding the successiul matador, in
accordance with custom. And some
Spaniards, therefore, fear that he may

It is nothing less than the

period of the Datch settlement of New

kept, in the winter of 1634-36, by
Arent Van Corlear, one of the leading
ruen in the colony, who made a wvisit
to iLe villages of the Iroquois con

which has lain lost ia a garret in Hol

bas been found by General James

CAPE HORN GOLD.
RICH FIELDS AT THE TAIL-END
OF SOUTH AMERICA.
Nugzgets Big as Corn Kernels Picked
Up by the Handful—-Hardships
Encountered by the Miners—
Some Wonderful Finds.
- Epitor
HE following extracts are taken
" from ‘‘Gold Diggings of Cape
Horn,” a book vividly deserib
ing life in Tierra del Fue
go and Patagonia, written by John R.
Spears, 8 well-known New York news
paper man, and just published by G.
P. Putnam’s Sons:
‘“Neither Australia nor California in
their roughest days afforded the dan
gers, nor did they make the showings
of gold—real placer gold for the poor
man to dig—that have been, and are
still to be found in Tierra del Fuego,
and the adjoining islands. Nor is the
gold in all cases too fine to be saved
by ordinary rude sluices, for ‘nuggets
as big as kernels of corn’—the Ideal
gold of the placer miner-~have been
found by the handfal, and may still
be had in one well-known locality if
the miner is willing and sble to endure
the hardships and escape the dangers
incident to the search.
‘“‘But because of the hardships and
dangers it is a veritable tantalus land.
There are many more skeletons of dead
miners than aunthentic records of
wealth acquired in Tierra del Fuego,
while those who have now and again
struck it rich and gotten clean off with
the dust usnally have gone no further
with it than Punta Arenas in the
Straits of Magellan, for Punta Arenas
is to this region what San Francisco
was to California and Virginia City to
the deserts of Nevada.”
Mr. Speers, describing his first view
of a Cape Horn mining camp, founded
by one Julius Popper, says:
“The diggings lay right in the
beach. When Popper first discovered
the claim the black sand that con
tained the gold lay in a bed of from
three to four inches thick, that was
for the most part under a layer of
coarse gravel two to three feet thick,
though in some places the black sand
was found free of any cover at low
tide.
“While this easily-obtained gold
bearing sand was being worked off,
the miners observed that the supply
was renewed somewhat by every storm
that raged and further, that when a
storm happened to come at the time
of the spring tides, a very much larg
er quantity of cold bearing sand was
washed up by the waves than in
ordinary storms. This had happened,
too, at Cape Virgin, but the renewal
of the gold supply by the storms was
not so notable there. However, it
appears that eventually a time came
when the miners at Paramo were able
[ to work off all the black sand between
storms. So it happened—so it hap
pens in these days that the miners sit
down and smoke their pipes till the
storm comes and goes. After the suri
of the storm is gone and the tide runs
out, a fresh layer of black sand is
found with gold in it. The miners
say the sand is washed up from a
streak that crops out somewhere be
low low tide. They think that this
layer could be reached by sinking a
shaft near the buildings, but they
‘ean’t sink a shaft profitably on account
of the water coming in. The black
)und lies on clay, and all the layer,
i)nd the other layers above it, are, so
to speak, afloat with water. So they
‘werk only after a heavy surf. The
‘weather, on the average, keeps them
‘busy about half the time.”
~ Mr. Spears gives a graphic account
Lof some extraordinary gold finds. [le
BAYyS:
‘Under the point of New Island, |
very appropriatelvy called the Asses’
Ears, a wide beach was pointed out as
the location where an extraordinary i
find was made. A party from Punta
Arenas had landed there, and had '
sunk a wide shaft several feet into the
sand, looking for the gold-bearing lay
er, but withont findmg it, although
the indications along shore were good.
They abandoned the spot after a day ’
or two and went away. Then another |
party came along some time later,
and just for luck concluded to sink
the well a little deeper. That was the
luckiest conclusion they ever came to. !
““Within one foot they struck pay
dirt, took out over 100 pounds weight
(48 kilos) within & month, and sailed
away content. Their story, when
told at Punta Arenas, sent a host of
eager fellows down there to get what
was left, and, singular to relate, about
every man who went there among the
first three boat-loads did well. Bat
when I was passing this point only the
emoke of the camp-fire of one lone
gold-digger could be seen faintly be
neath the Asses’ Ears. He was the
last of the plodders, according to the
Hansens, and was likely to become as
rich and as mean as some folks they
knew in Panta Arenas—men willing
to get rich by saving and scrimping
& out of a paltry $lO a day.
‘‘And then there was the little bay on
the Tierra del Fuego mainland, called
Port Pantaloons. No man of any ex
perience ever thought of landing there
to look for gold. One glance was suf
ficient to show that no gold could be
found there. So everybody supposed,
at least. Instead of steep banks, show
ing the well-known layer formation of
Cape Virgin, was a gentle, grassy,
slope, with a brook that came splash
ing down a woody ravine. It was a
pretty enough place—in fact, the
scenery was probably what made a
party of seven greenhorns from Punta
Arenas, out with = little schooner, pat
in there and land.
“Did I believe in the old saying ‘A
fool for luck? Well, if I didn’t I
would after living in Punta Arenas a
while. These seven greenhoras made
- * - *
s camp and went washing for gold at
Port Pantaloons. At theend of five’
weeks to a day from the time they left
Punta Arenas they were back again,
and had exactly four kilos of gold (say
nine pounds) each. And every man
of them tiok the first steamer for
Europe, intending to settle down and
live on the interest of his money in
stead of having a good time in Punta
Arenas, as he might have had.
““Of course, there were a lot of peo
ple at Punta Arenas who made haste to
go down to Port Pantaloons to eclean
up what these greenhorns had left;
but, remarkable to tell, when the ex
perienced miners came to wash where
the greenhorns had been, there was
found nothing left to clean up. The
greenhorns had found a pocket, and
had cleaned it themselves.
- * * * *
“But of all spots in the Cape Horn
region, Sloggett Bay, on the south
coast of Tierra del Fuego, abont forty
miles west of the Strait of Le Maire, is
the most tantalizing. More expedi
tions have been fitted ont in Punta
Arenas to go to Sloggett Bay than to
any two gold diggings besides. Al
most every expedition has gotten
gold, and yet never did an expedition
there pay the outfitters. Indeed, more
lives have been lost trying for Slog
gett Bay gold than at any two points
besides. And that is saying a good
deal.
“There is a man now in Punta
Arenas who went down to this bay in
a well-built little schooner, which was
manned by fourteen men all told.
They had heard of the gold found
there—gold ‘'in nuggets as big as ker
nels of corn”—and nothing should
stop them in the work of getting it,
they said. They moored their little
craft with long cables and chains, and
made everything as snug and safe as
the most experienced sailors and seal
ers could suggest. Then they went to
work, stripping off the six-foot layer
of gravel that overlies the gold-bear
ing sand and carrying the latter up
out of reach of the waves; for they
had to work at low tide. The gold is
all under water at high tide.
“They were a hardy lot and en
thusiastic. They worked all of every
low tide, and ate and slept during
high water. They got on well with
their work, for a time, but they made
a terrible mistake. They slept in their
schooner and kept no lookout—trust
ed to their moorings to hold them
fast. One night they went to sleep,
as nsual, well tired from hard labor.
Then came one of those fearsome gales
that characterize the region. With a
speed and power that are beyond de
seription,'it picked up the schooner
on the crest of a wave and dashed it
into kindling wood on the beach—
dashed out the lives of thirteen of the
men as well. One only was left alive,
and, curiously enough, he was entire
ly uninjurec.
¢ “The first I knew that there was a
storm,’ he said, ‘was when I woke up
lying on the beach, with the wreckage
around me.’
““This man did just what might be
expected, they say, of any one of the
Cape Horn miners. He camped on the
beach, and worked away at the pay
streak as best he could, until resened
by other prospectors; and he is still a
gold seeker in the Cape Horn region.
“The gold of Sloggett Bay is marvel
ous gold. It is, as said, nugget gold
as distinguished from gold dust. The
traditional ‘‘nuggets as big as kernels
of corn” are to be had there. I have
seen them myself, and when one has
seen & handful of such stuff he does
not wonder that prospectors keep try
ing again and again, in spite of the
fair certainty of death.
““The pay streak at Sloggett Bay
lies under water, as it does elsewhere
throughout the Cape Horn region,
but it is harder to get, because it can
hardly be said to crop out at ail. One
must strip off about six feet of sand
and gravel at low tide, and then
shovel out the pay streak, carry it up
c'ear of high tide, and therz wash out
the gold. Of course, when the tide
comes in again the space stripped of
the covering sand is recovered, and
stripping must be done ovar again at
the next low tide. That is very dis
couraging work, but no form of coffer
dam yet devised by the miners has
saved it.
““They all agree that there is only
one way in which the Sloggett Bay
field can be worked, and they think
that way would probably fail too. The
ideal Sloggett Bay outfit would be a
big steam dredge, fitted to scoop up
sand, gravel and pay streak all to
gether, and after running the stuff
over the sluices and eopper plates, to
discharge the debris in a lighter, that
could be towed away and emptied in
water too deep to work. If sacia an
outfit could hold on for a week, they
say it would pay for itself. Ifit coald
hold on for a month it would make its
owners rich. That it might hold on
for a week or two is reasonably prob
able, but the chances are that it would
become a mass of wreckage even be
fore it reached the bar. The pros
pectors say that no dredge ever built
for harbor work could stand a south
i east gale there for an hour, and yet
the sailors among them say that a
dredge bailt specially for the work on
the lightship model, with proper
ground tackle for mocring fore and
aft, could stand the gales there as well
as the storms on the Georges Bank of
Massachusetts are weathered by the
lightship.”
