HIS LUCK
Story of a Seattle Mail in
Fairbanks
Here is an excellent; tittle Alaskan
sto-y calculated to set the young blood
of Seattle and all the "outside" on fire
with a desire to go and do likewise.
The only tlaw in it is that it lucks truth.
The only statement in it that (rets un
der the limitations of fact is that the
young man referred to went to Fair
banks. Ha is not a telegraph operator
and, according to those who claim to
know, he has made no strike of any
kind. The story is piiDted iu the
Seattle Times and reads:
"With the proverbial luck of tbe ten
derfoot, George W. Chapman, a tele
graph operator of this city, has struck
it itch in the Fairbanks region. Al
though only leaving here in March, his
wealth amounts to 325,000, having in
creased his original capital exactly one
hundred times
"Young Chapman, the son of Super
intendent Chapmnn o' the Seattle
Kverett Interurban Railway, returned
to Seattle from San Francisco in Feb-;
ruarj. Early in March he jointd the j
outfit whbh left here for Fairbanks to I
esti.blish the Fairbanks News, a daily
publication, the telegraph key being!
his part in tDe cast.
"Over the actual expense monev that |
was given him, his father pressed $250 !
on the young man. intimating that it
could be used in the emergeccy of his j
being obliged to come home. His
salary on the paper was also ?250 per!
month.
'?Upon arriving at his destination the j
young operator promptly burned all
bridges behiod him by investing his 8250 |
in a gold mining claim, taking a one-'
sixth interest. The golden stream com
menced to fiow in at once, and in his
!-.st letter home he told of having refus
ed $16,000 for 1 is interest in tbe claim.
"In evidence of hts success he has
sent h;s father $3,000 The gravel is
running Sl tWi to the pan on his claim
ind Cnapman is letting others do his
share of the work while he sits at the
key on The News. The business acumen
of the youth war frustrated when he
9old hi-, cabin after the recent tire to a
merchant for $500. He estimates his j
wealth at 525,000.

When Maxim, the famous gun inven

of judges, he stated its carrying power
to oe much below what he felt sure the

the trial whs therefore a great surprise,
instead of disappointment. It is the
