THIRTEEN IS
NOT UNLUCKY
That thirteen isn't always an un
lucky number Is proved peradventure
by the story of Jack Home, probably
the biggest Individual operator in the
Klondike, who arrived in town last
Monday and sailed south on the Prin
cess Royal.
Jack Home Is a sourdough of the
'94 vintage. When Carmack made thq
first big strike Home was mining at
Circle City. He at once headed for
the scene of tho find and located No.
13 below on Bonanza. It proved a
money maker from the start and now
Mr. Home owns 13, 14, 15, 16, and 9
below.
This year he worked 15 below and
9 with a double shift crew of about j
60 men. Home's operations were ve:$
successful and he took out about $40, >
000 In dust Despite his money, Mr.
Home slept on a settle on his trip
south. He forgot to reserve rooms.
That's part of the spirit of the
northland ? but imagine some eastern
millionaires sleeping on a settle.
They would charter tho boat first.
