The gold from Eldorado Creek assayed at 316.00 an ounce. It had . a heavy ti.n alloy which was quite A noticeable. Bonanza Creel; gold, ad- . joinlxlz Eldorsdo. assayed 320.00 an ounce. Handlers of gold dus could tell at a. glance where i came from unless it came from a new discovery. I had a bit of experience in that line. My partner (Frank Slsvin. a Missourian) end I were lucky ernoughto sink a hole on the "pay streak" ton Coal Creek, Alas- ka in October. 1900. It wasn't rich but it was "pay dirt”. slavin in- W' slated that it be kept quiet in order 'to avoid any chance of a "stem- .pede" - also to give us time to ” stake and "represent" a concession '. of eight claims in a block. A We did the representation work I by sinking tuvo prospect holes. The creek bottom was wide enough a L820 feet, to stake two parallel lines of claims each 660 fit. x 1320 feet. By sinking on inside adjoining corners, each shaft sunk represent- ed four claims. We had "cleaned up" fifty six dollars worth of gold dust with a "rocker". a device which resembled an old fashioned cradle. be was in March, after the sun had pipes:-ed over the tops of .the high bills. It had disappeared from the horizon late in November-and it was a cheerful sight to behold. We had to have a big fire to thaw snow to provide enough water for aluicing the "chicken feed" gravel away from the gold. The specific gravity (weight) of gold is about nineteen ti.mes heavier than water or gravel. Hence the "taillngs" are carried away by the action of water onagrade.Thegold wilinotbe tffected. It will remain in the riffle.

We decided to go to Dalwsom over the ice before the spring break-up of the Yukon. The distance was about 220 miles. It took seven days for the trip. Blavin knew we had lomething pretty good. but wantsd is keep it dark. He wouldn't show he gold to anyone.

We had no cheechscco money. My ions :50. bill had gone for re- :ording fees at Clrcls City. slavin. who had gotten ahead with the mail dr;iver's dog team. "ran his lace" at the road houses for his fare. They trusted him. He had "rnushed" down river the previous spring over the river trail, and in- landed on ing back down river again before the ice broke in the Yukon. I felt fed up with the cir- cumscribed and comparatively lone-

. some life. There were only six peo- ple within fifty miles.

The little poke of dark colored oxidised "dust" was the only collat- eral with which to pay road house bills. I had been cautioned by Sla- vin to say that the,"dust" came from Mineral Creek. which was a small tributary of Woodchopper Creek. The road house men shook their heads very dubiously, but they knew it was the genuine mazurns. and not "fool's gold (mica schist).

slavin didn't do anything to dis- abuse me of the ..ies of getting out of the proposition. I inferred that luv was quitting too. I thought it was just a "spot" Lhilt we had muck but it turned out that it was quite an extensive rich spot.

We had sunk several holes in nthsrplaces above and below and lot nothing. Eventually the "pay Itreak" proved continuous in a ser- Dentine course and also that the travel, "benches" on the hillsides contained gold and were worked by hydraulic pressure. I

We were "staked" by the Dawson News own- er. Mr. Roediger, and seven em- ployees or at least Slavin made the deal. He was to pick up a suitable partner which would make ten partners. Each was to have a one tenth "undlvlded" interest. Slavln had been down river all spring and summer. had builsla nice comfort- able log cabin on Coal Creek.

He came up to Dawson in August to work a bit and make it little personal stake for himself besides getting someone to provide a win- ter grub stake for two. He and I got acquainted on the river front. There was a former New Bruns- wicker (I forget his name) taking a "drive" of logs down the Klon- dike. He had them in a "boom" near the junction of the Klondike with the Yukon.

I made the deal to go with him for the winter -- rather fancied the chance of doing some real pros- pecting. We were provided with a real deluxe outfit of food sufficient to tltivate the gustatory organs of the moat fastidious epicure. we had a case of California honey for the sourdough hot cakes. .

We made hot cakes for breakfast every morning. Hot cakes, ham and eggs and fruit was the breakfast menu. There were several cases of dried apples and apricots, seven hams, slabs of bacon, two l00 lb. sacks of Yakima spuds at 310.00 per bag, a lot of condimenu and other accesso sea.

Elaborate Fraud Commilied Upon Russian feople

By WILLIAM L. RYAN Associated Press Foreign News

t Analyst

An elaborate fraud is being committed upon the people of Russia. '

The current 19th Congress of the All-Union Soviet Communist Party is a stage-setting for the manipulation of puppets whose task it is to extract from the population every ounce of labor in return for the vague promise of a glittering future.

The people are being told that

of beef and is the same.

The bulk of the meat is a hit stringy. but the steaks are equal to beef steaks. It may be kept fresh in summer for as long as required by placing in glacier streams.

F. EARL! McDONAl.D svmmnsrna:

"socialism" has been victorious in the Soviet Union and the time is approaching for transition to the next stage, Communism. Under Communism. they have long ago been told. the state will "wither

lg away" and all will live by the prin-

ciple: "from each according to his ability, to each according. to his needs."

There is a great gimmick in it,

though. What the soviet people were told in the last few dayi is: you cannot have Communism without completing its base. . The involved and wordy pro- nouncements of Joseph Stalin and Georgi Malenkov told the com- radu, in effect, to stop worrying about the consumers. The prob"- lem of distribution of goods un- der Communism-its chief promise 1.0 tthe soviet people-must come as .

What is being called for is com- plete nationaliration of means of production. which means not only the elimination of all vestiges of individual enterprise from the in- dustrial and merchantlle scene. but the full takeover of soviet

agriculture. Stalin has called the "group ownership" of Soviet collective

farms a stumbling black which cannot long be tolerated. and pugnaeious Lialenkov echoed his mentor.

The Kremlin is going to fashion an over-all national centre for the control of production and dis- tribution of all commodities. Such things as the sale by farmers of their "s1uplus"”on the open mar- ket-the things they produce out- side their fixed quotas for the stage-will be stopped.

The collective farmer is going to be turned into an agricultural laborer under the new plan.

The Kremlin's fingers have been burned before on peasant resist- ance. The peasant may once again get his back up. As for the "pro- letariat." once again it is told it must wait while "the base" is built and the U.S.S.R.. grows strong enough to defy "capitalist enclrclement." But workers, too, can get fed up.

Bird Migration southward Starts

By PERCY Gl-KENT

with the nesting season over and.the nestlings well able to take .care of themselves, my bird migration southward starts with early autumn.

From massive hawks to tiny hummingbirds. species after spec- ies will leave their Canadian breeding grounds for winter resi- dence in Central and south Am- erica.

The exodus of birds in their millions from Canada is far more gradual and far less spectacular than their spring migration north- ward. One of Canada's best- known wild life authorities. Dr. W.W. H. Gunn. made a special visit to Point Pelee on Lake Erie last May to study the incoming

nual meeting of the Girl Guides Association in the Epworth United Church Hall, Summerside.

wave.

What in law and reported was dramatic-in his own words the spring influx was "the grandfather of all waves". and he has seen many of them. His estimate of song birds seen on a single day then was no less than 50,000.

says Dr. Gunn: "I have a pic- ture of driving along the road near the end of the point, watch- ing an unending stream of spar- rows and thrushes rising from each side of the road and settling back again a little farther from the road margin. The general pat- tern cf this action was strikingly like the bow-wave of a fast-mov- lng ship." ..

on two days in May. 150 species of birds were seen. It was estim- ated there were at least 100,000 white-throsted sparrows - the "sweet, sweet, Canada. Canada" singers. and as many white-crown- ed sparrows.

Thrushes of , various species, and colorful warblers by the thousand. were assembled on the point. a single route of entry to Canada.

From there they would wing their way over the northern breeding grounds.

Now the return journey of the south is commencing-the second. annual miracle of migration. the wonder of which grows with deep- er observatlon and study.

Cagy Coyoic

Citizens of Banff amid. the mountains of the Rockies are so accustomed to seeing black bears. elk. red deer and an occasional moose taking in the town sites that they occasion little comment. Even a. grizzly bear with her cub wandering along an outlying street raises only mild interest.

But even Banff folk were sur- prised this summer at the sight of a coyote, squatting by the road- side just out of town and on a regular "stand". awaiting motor- isis who hand out such delicacies as chocolate bars, cakes and can- dy. A coyote among the animal

mendlcants is something new, even in Banff.
