CONRAD CITY HERMIT
HEADED FOR HOSPITAL
(Stroller’s Weekly.)
Stimulated to further efforts by
the deep-rooted belief that one more
year’s work would put him on Easy
street, Pat Kennedy hu=; prospected
and mined in Southern Yukon for 2S
years, and Pat could ret qualify for
spring poultry when he came North
| with the carly-dayrush, as he is now
! well past the filth milepost of life.
When the town of Conrad City was
founded on Little -Windy Ann, in
! Southern Yukon, .in. 1905, Pat Ken-!
i nedy had already heen there half a
dozen years and had staked Several
I mineral claims that he Was convinced
I contained untold wealth. For a period
| of three years Conrad City flourished
as flourisheth the proverbial green |
bay tree. Then the mining com-;
panie soperating in that vicinity quit
work one evening and did not resume j
the next day. Within a month the!
population of Conrad CCity had!
dwindled from BOO to 50 and was still!
going strong, on the dwindling pro- j
cess. In another month' it had dwin- i
; died to a do-'.eh. Noro did it stoop'
j there. Came a day when Pat Ken-!
I nedy was the only inhabitant of th ■!
once prosperous town, and ha reviled !
others for giving up when he was cer
tain that within a short time—it was
liable to happen any day—represent
ativesof mining magnates would ap
pear for the purpoose oof purchasing !
all the severaal hundreds of mining;
claims staked in the country. And \
the sole inhabitant of the town. He 1
has worked at intervals ior others,!
but only sufficientily long to get a
grubstake on which to continue pros
j peering ms own ground,
j But age and the ravages ofo time
; eft their mark on Pat Kennedy. A
j few months ago he awoke lo the re
1,.- 'ation that he is an old man; that
his days of handling a pick- and run
ning a drift are over, and that the
man with the whiskers and scythe is
slipping up on him—has him cor
nered in faet.
Pat Kennedy was a passenger on
the Princess Mary on her southbound
"j voyage this week, and when the
writer found him in a bertth in his
staterooom he was surrounded with
j hot water bottles, footwarmers and
many blankets, and did not look as
j though he would weigh 100 pounds—
a mere shadoow of the' Pat Kennedy
! of 25 years ago. Asked where he was j
headed for, he replied:
“I am bound foor the hospital in
| Victoria. I had to give up all that
