This is the story of Alexander
McDonald, one of the best-known
cliaiacter* in the Yukon valley. lie
is a great lumbering Scotchman
— -born in Nova Scotia—who up
to the time of the Klondike discov
eries never had an idea of winning
a greater fortune than that of a day
laborer, lie worked f rom mining
camp to mining camp all along the
Northwest. Sc slow was he and so
awkward in his work—his feet en
tirely in his; way and his size a misfit
for .the size of prospect noles—-that
he was reputed never to be able to
hold a job for longer than three
weeks. He was at Dawson shortly
after the lirst locations were made
on the Klondike, lie went, out
with numerous stampedes, but never
arrived in time to .locate a paying
ciaitn. Finally bv stumbled across
a newspaper man named Hunt, wtio
bad a claim on Bonanza creek Hunt
nad become discouraged because he
had not the funds necessary to devel
op it. This claim McDonald purch
ased for $300 and set about develop
ing it in bis usual slow and aimless
fashion. Finding the claim fairly
rich, be put on u force of laborers
and in a few weeks had taken out
$80,000. This sum he 11 ed imme
diately to purchase other claims. Ail
the year h; bought right and, left
everything of anv promise that was
offered to him, often mortagaging
the claims thus bought to buy still
other ground. Many of the ventures
came to naught, but a few gave such
phenomenal returns that he speedily
took the rating of a millionaire. Out
of one claim 011 El Dorado creek be
shoveled $20,000 in twelve hours.
Today he is probably worth between
two and three million dollars.
Many others came to soccers even
more suddenly than McDonald. One
man on Bonanzo creek took < ut
ninety pounds of gold—about $25*
000—in a single day. A pan Of
gravel <>n E! Doratn creek yielded
its lucky owner $2,10U. This same
man cleaned up three thousand
ounces of dust arid nuggets from his
week’s work.—Ainslee’s Magizine.

WOOD’S SWORD SENT TO FATHER.
Carter Tate To Deliver It.
Washington, 1). (.., April 20.
The sword of Cadet W. C. Wood, of
Ge rgia, who was killed in Cun boat
Urdiniada, in Phillippine waters dur
ing an engagement with the insur
gent land forces some months ago,
was to day formally delivered by the
secretary of the navy to Representa
tive Tate, of the Ninth Georgia dis
trict.
The sword lias the name of the
young lieio tnj.wived on the blade.
Mr. Tate will [.restut the sword in
person to,the fuller < i Ca-Lt Wood,
who is u resident of Pickens county.
Ono interesting fact ab *ut the cap
ture of this sword has not before
been published.
Several weeks afte'r Cadet W nor
lost his life, a land battle was fought
near the scene, in which Major
Spence, of Georgia, took an active
part. Major Spence killed an oflieer
of the native forces, and the sword
carried by the Filipino was found to
be the one taken from the body of
young W ood. It was by Major Spence
sent to the navy department with a
suggestion that it. be conveyed to the
father of the cadet.
The body of young Wood has
never been found.— ; Atlanta Journal.

Bis Wife Was too Busy.
“Look here,” said a judge to a
juryman, “1 don’t desire to wound
your feeling, but why don’t you put
on a clean shirt?”
“Because my who lias been very
busy several days and I have bad no
one to sew on buttons.”
“Hasn’t your wife had time to sew
on buttons?”
‘•No. sir.”
“What’s the matter, children sick?”
“No, sir; children somewhat dirty,
but in good health.”
“What is your wife doing that

“Well you see, several.dais ago

OUR W ASHINGTON LETTER.
The party in power will now go
through the motions of making a
bluff at the repeal or limitation of
s one of the enormous powers con
ferred on the carpet-bag government
of Rorto'Rieo by the bill recently
adopted. That they will readily al

lieves lor an instant. In fact, the

the power to grant such franchises
as these on a carpet bag government
appointed exclusively by the Presi
dent without there having been*
some one back of the scheme who
was to profit by it. It is impossible,
also, that any attempt to change tho
law now that it is once passed, should
meet with success. The shameful
robbery has begun and will go on.
The chance for fat picking has
brought a horde of adventurers and
place hunters of high and low degree
to Washington, and the White House
has been thronged with them.
Senators arid Representatives who
did the President’s bidding in voting
for Porto Rican bill have called in
droves asking for their reward in
the shape of franchises, concessions
or offices for their hungry constituents
and nothing is more certain than
that they will get it.
Another bluff that the Republicans
are trying to wrrk on tlie country
is in connection with the repeal of a
portion of the wai revenue act, and
a consequent reduction of the surplus
of $150,000,000 which will be piled
up in the Treasuty by June of
year. The members of the House,

while, it will be given out that noth

Senate will not consent. As a matter
of fact, neither the President nor the

Treasury now has some $125,000,000

will be $75,000,000 more to loan.
No interest is asked on ibis, and the
banks will be told that if the Repub

money will lie continued to thorn

than that the grateful banks will
insist on contributing to the Repub

of the amount they would have to
pay in interest if they should borrow
the same amount of money elsewhere
Oh no, to repeal the war ta\, would
cut off at least $2,000,000 of ca rn
paign funds to be derived from the
banks and the Republicans are not
anxious for anything p! that sort.
Representative Dc Artnond, of Mis
souri, has introduced a bill to require
the banks t" pay interest to the
government on these deposits, but
nothing is more certain than that it
will be smothered in committee.

although the House will pass the

ferenee in this City that the shipping
steal must be forced through the
Senate at this session, though its
passage by the House might be left
urttil fall. The canal bill will be forced
to keep pace with it and if it is
checked at any point, the canal bill
will be checked also. It is well un

wants the Nicaraguan canal, it must
agree to pay 80,000,000 for ship
subsidies.
