60LD FROM THE CLOUDS
A practical joke played on the cook
of the steamer Victoria ia responsible
for the story going the round* of the
press that the volcanic ashes reported
as failing; over Seward peninsula con
tained gold.
The a.?hes were noticed on the dec*
of tho steamer up in thos^ waters. A
miner mixed some very fine go'd dus
with the ashes and pann->d it in th
coot's galley to the delight and a>ton
Ishm-nt of the darky. As soon as tb
cook 'a work was over, he cart full;,
swept the a?hes from the entire deal
of the sieamer and spent tje balanci
of the day panning It, to the great j \ j
of the passage**.
