George W. Car mack Started
Stampede Into the Klondike.
WhiU Men Had Mmcd There before
Him, but Credit for tho Croat
"Discovery" Is Hi&.
Gold it us I Worth llHA.tklO.GU) has
been. iaket* from the cropk* of the
Klondike. Although twenty li\i \rars
have elapsed since the first discovery*
evenl is ree;iiletl l,y nit' .dent h
reeently qf UPorffO W t 'arii-ne.;, who
panned the first hlgh-ghi'do gravel
from Bonanza creek. The deUdls of
the discovery are related by a writer
in the Engineering and Mining Jour
nal-Press of New York. Curmack was
a fisherman, with an Indian squaw,
and maintained a small trading post
on the Youkon twenty miles above the
Crossing, ile was not the flrnt to find
gold In the valleys of the Klondike,
for Hubert Henderson preceded hltu,
hut . he started t|>e stampede that led
to the development of the Yukon terri
tory. At that time Carmaek was Ash
ing for salmon at the mouth of the
Klondike, Where It Joins the Yukon
and where Hawson now stands. Two
miles up the valley the Klondike Is
Jolued by Bonanza creek. Carmaek
happened to bo short of fresh meat
so he went with three Indians, one of
them a brother-in-law, on a hunting
expedition. At that time Bonanza
creek was known as a likely place for
i moose, therefore lie went thither. He
knew that Henderson and three other
white men were mining on "Gold Bot
tom, on the other side of the water
shed. so he crossed the divide with
his Indlnn companions to see what the
ot hers were doing and to sell them
some of the fresh meat that be and
the Indians had obtained.
Henderson and his partners were
not getting much gold and Carmaek
soon returned to the camp on Bonan
za crfck. Having seen the mining
done by the four men on Gold Bottom
he iv'as prompted to* do a little pros
pecting himself, and '-almost at the
first try found gold on the rim of the
bedrock projecting above the water of
Bonanza creek. This rich spot, recog
nized as "the discovery," proved later
to be only a patch twenty feet square.
Carmaek recorded his claim and the
three claims located ,ln the names of
his friends, Skookum Jim, Tndinn Pete
and Tagish Charlie. A quiet "rush"
began. David Mackay, Daniel Sic
Gilllvray and Harry Waugh were the
first to start. Each 'of them made a
fortune. The Information did not
reach the "outside," meaning the
states, until the best ground had been
staked ; those who came to Dawson
with the stampede at the end of 1SS)7
and in the spring of 1898 found that
tjiey were too late. They had to buy
claims or work for wages. On July
14, 1S97, the steamer Excelsior
reached San Francisco with the tid
ings of n new Eldorado; in proof
thereof she brought half a million dol
lars In gold. This was the first of
many treasure ships to enter the GoH
den gate like Spanish galleons of the
olden days.
Woman Found Treasure Trove.
Burled treasure has been found In
France by n New York woman. She Is
said to be the first person to discover
important burled treasure In '*unee
since the war. When spading in the
region of tbe'devastnled town of Hat
ton Chattel, which she Is rebuild! ng,
slie turned tip a pot containing 400
rare coins. Many of the coins In the
pot dated before the discovery of
America, most of them be' "om the
Fourteenth and Fifteen!' ? turles.
Some of them bear the ? wf the
duke of Lorraine, who defen.i >1 north
ern France before the Swedish inva
sion in the Fourteenth century. All
buried treasure betongs to the. govern
ment, but the finder in this case will
be given 10 per cent of Its value,
which it is understood she will donate
to the Metropolitan museum of New
York. The discovery Is the most valu
able find of its kind recorded In
France. '
More Light With Less Current.
The old subject of keeping electric
lamps and retlectors clean is again
brought to our attention by Ward Har
rison and J. It. Colvllle, in a recent
.Issue of Electrical Review and In
dustrial Engineer. Among the items
discussed by these authorities are the
extent and causes of lighting deprecia
tion. value of light wasted, and sys
tematic maintenance. Experience has
shown that In many factories more
than 30 per cent of the light paid for
Is allowed to go to waste. One-half
to two-thirds is being thrown away
through lack of attention to simple
maintenance requirements. In a plant
where the entire time of one man Is
required the cost of cleaning open re
flectors should not exceed 3 cents
ench.
Facts and the Rainmaker.
M. An got, director of the French
meteorological office, has demonstrated
that even In the extreme rase of two
equal masses q{ saturated air, one at
0 degrees C. and the otheT 20 degrees
C., In order to produce a ,04-inch full of
rain It would be necessary for the two
masses to mix rapidly and thoroughly
throughout an atmospheric layer of
fotir miles In thickness; that dust par
ticles and Ions (the nu<lel of raln
, drops) are not sufficient of themselves
I to c?a** precipitation without an ac
companying reduction of temperatora.

Civilization and Climate.
I'rof. 101ls\\i> ,a llnntinglbn of Vale
unlvei siiy marked on a mail of the
worhl the areas where climate was
most favorable to human effort. lie
called these ureas /.ones of climatic
t ne?'.gt\ . Then he delved into history
and plotted it map of civilization. lie
found that the two maps coincided.
Ills conclusion was that ?"climate has
a great influence on health, and^its ac
tion on civilization in this way prob
is greater than its direct ellect
or t!:an the indirect results arising
tin J i agriculiim- ?>r food."
i'rnfvssor Huntington took tta* ivc
or !?? ?>f pieceworker^ iu l'ittsburgh fac-'
torics and students at West 1'oint and
Annapolis and found that both phys
ical and mental work varied in har
hu?ny with the weather, accta'ding to
the i'etroit News. Me found that the
death rate also fluctuated seasonally
according to the weather. He there
fore concluded that no high civiliza
tion is possible in tropical regions, or
where weather conditions are adverse.
No high accomplishment was held pos
sible where temperature and humidity
are unfavorable.
Not Talking to Husband.
There is no testimony in court that
Is as vehement and pointed as that
of a militant housewife who seeks a
divorce from hor husband. This fact,
it upbears, is true especially when tlio
wife's easy is uncontested and the hus
band is not at tlje hear!***,'.
During nuch a case in one of the
county ccitrts, the wife became very
loud and vociferous in her descrip
tions anu denunciations of the brulal
manner if; which, she said, her spouse
had treated her. ller testimony was
as jrapld as loud. In fact her words
became jumbled and were lost in the
noisy din of her own wails.
'"Now look here a minute?" t lie
judge interrupted. Nobody can get
heads or ''ails ol' what you are saying
as long ns you go on that way. Now
turn here and talk to me and tell me
the story. .lust tell me so 1 can under
stand It, but remember you ure not
talking to your husband."
