Using Yukon methods of washing:
gold when all other methods of re
covering $2,500 worth of diamonds
from a Boston hotel fire had failed,
Harry Eskrlgge, a miner of Alaska,
interested all Boston a few mouths
ago.
Eskrigge was In Wtnthrop, a sub
urb of Boston, in the latter part of
September, when a frame hotel
caught fire. Before the blaze was ex
tinguished five other hotels had
caught and the occupants barely es
caped with their lives. One of them,
Mrs. H. M. Hutchinson, of Philadel
phia, left eighteen diamonds and set
tings behind her in her hurry to es
cape. When Eskrigge arrived on the
scene she had a dozen men at work1
in the ruins of the building trying to ;
sift the stones, which were valued at
$2,500, from the ashes and debris.
After the men had searched fruit
lessly for several days Eskrigge's of
fer to find the diamonds on a commis
sion of 25 per cent, was accepted, i
He hauled the debris from a corner
of the hotel where the diamonds
were hidden, to the seashore. The
charcoal was floated away and the
plaster, nails and other refuse was
panned through a course sieve first
and then through a lino sieve with a
riffle on it. The first hour's search
resulted in the finding of a $.Vc si
and in the coume ot' a few days . .1
of the diamonds were recovered. K.
rigge, convinced that he had a am .1
thing, kept up his work and sue*
ceeded in getting a number of melted
gold and 9llver pieces that had been
left behind by guests in their flight.
The report of the Alaskan's dofngs
spread around the city. Eskrlgge
was Interviewed and photographed at
his work by Boston and New York
papers and rid himself of a long list
of Alaskan stories to the credulous
ones of the East.
People became so interested in his
work toward the last that several
thousand watched the miner work in
a roped-off enclosure. ? Seattle P.-I.
Ballot Ing machines were used In
twelve states at the late election, but
they'll not lve used again In some com
munities if the voters have the say
about them.
For some reason ex-Governor Black's
Idea that the "square deal" is a prin
ciple and not a mere trademark has
met with resentment. In spots. _
Think what may happen to the
bumptious Individual who beards
Roosevelt in bis den with letters "To
the Editor."
Bussia now wants to whip Austria,
but with Bussia there Is always a
great gap betwixt the will and the
deed.
An appropriate motto for the Day
Magazlno would be "Ten Mlnate?
Enough."
