ONE THEY
CAN'T FIND
The management of the Alaska
Yu' on-Pacitlc exposition, which wtl
be held in Seattle in 1909, proposes to
reproduce at the exposition several of
the famous mines of the North that
made dozens of millionaires during 1898
and 1900. But the richest mine th.it
the North has will not be reproduced
for the simple reason that no white I
man has ever seen U and lived to tell '
the tale, says the Post-Intelligencer.
In the early days of the camp a cer
tain tribe of Iud.ans from the north
arrived in Dawson for the first time.
To the astonishment of the few that
saw tho new tribe every member had
several ornaments carved from groat
nuggets of virgin gold. This tribe
had never met the white man before,
and to the breathless inquiry the tribes- '
men told how naar to where they lived
was a stream in which the yellow metal '
could be picked up in chunks as big as
one'.* fist. Nearby, they said, there
was a cliff in which the rajtal stood out
like moss on a mountain side.
The Indians soon learned the value of
their ornaments and shrewdly refused
to tell where they got it. Neverthe
less several prospectors tried to follow
the tribe on the return to the northern
vil'age, but the wiley red man easily !
succeeded in losing the less agile pale
face. Since then there have been sev
eral more or less secret and always. un- !
successful expeditions to find the gold
of the Indians.
MR. MUlfi'S RESIGNATION

SEALING HAS
GONE TO POT
The sealing Industry, which was only
a few years ago one of the most flourish
ing sod profitable enterprises on the
continent of America, seems to have
fallen upon very evil days. The total
catch of the British Columbia fleet for
the season ju t closed says the Colonist
is little more than half that of the
previous year, and on top of this it is
Stated that it is probable that low
prices will obtain at the forthcoming
gale of seal skins in London. That
the law of compensation Is working
with its customary exactitude, however
is shown by the fact tbut the whaling
industry, only recently inaugurated on
a cemprehensive scale, is proving im
mensely profitable:
