WRITES \ BOOK
TIIE TALE OF "TIIE NFGGET,
THE DEAR LITTLE NFGGET,”
AT LAST IN BOOK FORM. A
SAGA OF KLONDYKE
There have been sourdough stor
ies galore, some good and some not
so good, but there ha; never been
and never can be another gold rush
story like "The Klondike Nugget"
for, after all, there was only one
Gene Allen. When the first gold
ships were heralded as approaching
Seattle and the nation was electri
fied by Beriah Brown's now fam
ous "ton of gold" headline. Gene
Allen was a slender stripling who
had already tried his hand at many
things and was then selling print
ir.! for the Mctropnii an Press of
Seattle. Vo;;/ shortly thereafter he
was aboard the historic -hip. 'Seat
tle" bound for Skagw ay with a
printing outfit and a determination
to publish the first pane" to make
its appearance in Dawson.
The grinding hardships of the
months on the trail hardened the
physical and mental fibre of the lad
and by the time he arrived in the
polyglot maelstrom of life in the
raw which was Dawson of ilk Gene
was in the finest of fighting trim
and undismayed by the S1.H5 which
represented the capital with which
hi intended to secure the site for
his plant, build it and launch the
world's farthest north newspaper
Gold was in the very air of Dawson,
from the creeks and benches there
poured an endless stream of the yel
low metal that has driven men mad
through the ages and in the wake of
the gold there followed the inevit
able harpies from the gutters of thi
nation, graft, political corruption,
stark tragedy, disillusionment, com
edy and wild gayety. Into this
chaotic life young Allen jumped
with all the zest of youth and tin
fire of his fighting ancestry
It might have been an c:i..y berth
for a certain type of newspaperman
to have complacently joined forces
