Grubstake Brings Old
Timer Great Returns
Bill McPhee’s trip to San B'ranciscoto
secure advice from a leading oculist in
the hope of saving his eyesight recalls
the early grubstaking of' Clarence
Berry, who made a million dollars in
the Klondike and who has made a still
greater fortune in oil.
McPhee was in the saloon business
at, Fortymile when Clarence Berrv con
fided to him that he had the tip that
gold had besn struck up the river,
Haneing Berry th8 key to 'nis cache,
McPhee told Berrv to help himself and
get in on the strike. Taking a grub
atake, Berry went up the river aud
eventually took out a million dollars.
In when McPhee burned out iD
Fair bad Its, Berry, then m San Fran
cisbo, wired the Fairbanks bank to re
build aud restock the MoI’hee sttloon.
The bank did so, and Berry paid a
draft of $25,000. Hearing that McPhee
had oye trouble. Berry recently wired
him logo to San Francisco, where he
had arranged for the best oculist to
look at McPhee’s eyesi
Bill McPhee is held In- bigb respect
by all Northerners, and has been feat
ured in many stories of the North.
Among his firm friends is-S. Hal!
Young, the pioneer minister of the
North. McPhee nursed I lev. Young
through a dangerous illness at Nome
one winter, and had previously iinanced
Young to build the first church in
Dawson.—Seward Gateway.
Former Marshal Third Division.

shal oi the Third division, tins pur
chased a fine home at Bong Beach,
Cal., for which he paid $29,000, accord
ing to recent word from the Outside.

A year on any planet is the length of
time it takes the planet to go around
the sun. The farther a planet is from
the sun, the longer is its path, and so
the longer the year. Neptune, the
outermost of the planets, is an incon
ceivable distance—nearly three billion
miles—from the sun. It travels its vast
path slowly fora planet, at only three
and one-third miles per second. So it
takes Neptune nearly 165 of our years
to complete its immense swing around
the sun.—Current Invents.
