Only a sulphur-blackened disc
of silver, with its .milled surface
worn almost smooth, but the date
of its coinage—1877—plainly visi
ble to the eye, yet what a tragedy
of the past it brings back to mind.
Eaily on the morning, of Decem
ber 25th, 1899, three young men—
Fred Clayson, of the mercantile
ftrm of F. H. Clayson, of Skagway,
Relft, who lived In .Seattle, and
was on his way home, and 01
sen, a lineman of the Dominion tele
graph — after spending tho
previous night at the Mlnto road
house, midway between Whitehorse
and Dawson, were swinging, light
footed and carefree, along the win
ter trail toward the south, with
out i he slightest premonition that
they were hurrying Into the jaws of
d^ath, nor .with the faintest idea
tfcet a few miles ahead two human
tigers, with Wlnch«ister rifles tight
ly clasped In hand, lay in ambush
beside the trail, only awaiting the
appearance of .themselves at the
place (elected to commence the
deadlv work upon which.they were
beait.
About six miles south of Minto
the trail ran at an obtuse angle and
it was there .the fiends had taken
their stand, after first having
cut a oeephole in the thick brush
through which they could keep
watch for a long distance in either
d'rection.
When the leading traveler had
turned the rounding point of the
angle in the trail one of the con
coaled assassins opened fire with
his rifle from the front and the
other from the Tear, .and in less
time than it takes to write of the
drtadful occurrence .the whiteness
of the snow was crimsoned with the
llfeblood of the .victims and only
three Inert shapes left of what a
few moments before had pulsed with
the vigor of youth and the joy of
life. '
After robbing the body of Clay
son of a large sum of mouey tho
murdtrens sought to cover up .the
evidences of their crime.by putting
the victims through a.natural open
ing In the Ice of the river,
not seeming! to realize that
anyone, and least of all [ a
man of I the prominence of the
young Skagway merchant, could not
disappear in the region watched over;

TERRITORY
Though .it is the purpose of the
United States Geological survey to
extend investigations to all parts
of Alaska, it sometimes happens
that it is impossible to do geologic
work in advance .of actual mineral
discoveries by the prospector. The
survey, however, attempts to fol
low up the reported new discoveries
of valuable minerals by surveys
and investigations as soon as
means permit. A report on work
inspired by the discovery of gold
in the Innoko district in 1906 has
been issued by the survey .as Bulle
4,n 578 and is entitled "The Idita
rod-Ruby Regicn Alaska," by Hen
ry M. Eakin.
The investigation seems , to have
developed the fact that geologic
conditions favorable to the occur
rence of auriferous deposits are re
peated in many places in this part
of Alaska, a fact that argues well
for the future of the mining indus
try 'a this region, notwithstanding
the fact that the workable gold
placers thus far developed are
limited to comparatively small areas.
?r sift tht- mystery to the bottom.
Six months elapsed after the
tragedy before the .bodies of the
murdered men were located, but in
thq meantime the human
bloodhounds of ' the law, from
waom there is no escape,
wete on the track. of the
perpetrators. One—the O'Brien
mentioned in ! the above letter—
was arrested shortly after the mur
dt ,s on Lako Tagish, near Tagish
Post while trying to effect his es
cape out of the country, and Un
der the buckskin heel of a Ger
man sock was found $2100 in bills
of the missing money and from his
pocket was taken $04.50 in change.
Of il-e oiher assassin no trace
was ever discovered, and it is the
supposition .that O'Brien, between
the time of the murder and his
own arrest, had made away with
him. 1 ■ f'J
O'Brien was taken to Dawson,
an J in 1900 was tried and convicted
and hung, and his body— if any
thing remains of it from the.action
ot the quicklime in which it was
placed immediately nfter death—lies
buried in Jhe jail yard of the po
lic" b:.rracks there. •
The silver twenty-five cent
piece was found ;by Will Clayson,
brother of one of the victims, while
h« was in Dawson in attendance at
the trial of O'Brien. It was in
opo of the pockets of the pair of
kpants woni by .Fred. H. Clayson at
the »ime of h's deith.

SHIPPED TO GRAFTER
Whit (.-horse Star: A large boil

Kinc mine since the pink tea epoch,
superinduced by Colonel Thomas,
was delivered at the Grafter (mine
last Sunday, since which time a
crew of twenty men haa been put
to work on the property.
With twenty men employed for
a starter at the Grafter mine, a
purely home industry, business in
local circles will experience a per
ceptible impetus. Two mines work

Thfc gumshoe tactics of .the sport
ing editor of this paper are fraught
with great revelations and the
worki>.gu of the minds of the "tu
rn r Circle" of the Regulars dis
closes some wonderful diplomacy
and clever subterfuge.
A careful canvass of the pei
sonael on the Regulars brings to
light the machinations of a politi
cal Intrigue worthy of a "Bis
marck." As "the end Justifies th->
means," has been taken as the
slogan of the Regulars to inveigle
the challengers.into what they torn
"charity slaughter," in the forth
coming game on tap, it appears all
strings were pulled in an effort to
get the Veterans and would-be ball
'<j6serti to bite. And.they appeared
to have done so. hook, line, sink
er and pole.!
Meanwhile the .Regulars are
chuckling over their snap, and
gent.y leading the Vets on to their
i "terrible fate. They Tidicule the
return of old man "Evers,"' or Du
gan, aa he is otherwise cognomened.
And lor Blanchard and Gault, the
former warriors, they appear merci

early Rome.
