ALL IS VANITY
The statement that John D. Hock
feller will "testify voluntarily" before
the rebate commission if the warrant
for his arrest is not served, suggests
the story of the coon that expressed a
willingness to "come down" if the man
with the guu at the foot of the tree!
would oot shoot.
It begins to look very much indeed as
though Tom Lswson's prophesy, made
mooths ago, that before the year hail
passed the Standard Oil princes would
be landed in the penitentiary might be
fulfilled. Certainly they are them
selves showing unmistable signs of
alarm. Mr. Rockefeller is reported to
have "gone to pieces,'' for the first time
in his life lost poise in face of the news,
bought to him in Paris, of the finding
of indictments against him and other
members of the company, and to have
declared in a rage that for fifteen years
he has had nothing to do with the
Standard l )il company. In that case it
would appear that he has kept a mar
velous silence in face of the general
public indictment during all those
years* It was a silence that gave con
sent.
The fact is the influence of publicitv
has worked a vast change within the
last twenty-four months. Mr. Rocke
feller and his kind are beginning to dis
cern their changed relationship to the
people. Whereas, believing ? as their
experience had taught them to believe
in the absoluteness of the power of
money, they have hitherto looked
with contempt upon the strivings and
protests of the people, they are now
running for cover, making the baby
plea that "it was'nt I," "I don't belong
to that company any more." And when
Mr. Rockefeller goes on the stand and
makes oath to this he will suffer the
humiliation of knowing that, substan-<
tiated though his word may be by en
fries in books and writings of transfer,
the people will scoff at what they will
be sure is palpable perjury. It is to
such pitiful extremity that this old
man, with his lifetime of p'anning and
tinaneial conquest, his uninterrupted
"success," the so-called "most import
ant man in the world," to this pitiful
extremity has he come at last.
"Will somebody," asks the Seward
Gateway, "please tell what has become
of Godfrey Chealander. the man who
started the Alaska-Yukon exposition,
projected and made an extensive tour
of the ten itory last fall at his own ex
pense to get it started? A squad of
Seattle bankers have got hold of it and
dropped Chealander as if he was a
white chip. When a Seattle banker
leaves anything for anybody else it is
something that he overlooks." Mr.
Chealander offers another illustration
of the truth of that saying that a
prophet is not without honor save in
his own country. The directors of the
Alaska- 'V ukon-Pacific exposition has
answered the Gateway's question.

GOOD Sflff
Strike Near Kobinson fioes
$5000 Per Ton
One of the biggest, stampedes ever
witnessed in this end of Yukon terri
tory has been on this week, the rush
being to Hodnott and Gold Hill moun
tains in the neighborhood of the head
waters ot the Watson river, forty miles
from Whitehorse and about twenty
miles from RobiusoD, the nearest point
reached by the railroad.
Jack Stager and another prospector
who had been in the country, arrived
at Carcross early in the week with
phenomenally rich ore which they as
serted was taken from a vein five feet
in width. This ore shows, it is said,
values amounting to $5000 in gold per
ton. It was shown to Col. J. H. Conrad
and the stampede was on. The colonel
started out everv available man in the
Carcross section, 2t> having gone Wed
nesday to be followed by 23 others
yesterday.
A box car containing camp and pros
pectors outfits wjs left at Robinson sid
ing yesterday from which place they
will be packed '\v horses and men to
the scene of the new strike. Half a
dozen pack horses have already been
sent from Whitehorse to Uobinson and
the demand is not ye: supplied.
Telegrams received here yesterday
from Col. Conrad assert that it is by
long odds the greatest and richest
strike yet made in the north?' White
