The afternoon session was brought to a close by singing the "Island Hymn", after which in sumptuous buffet supper was serv- ed and a social hour enjoyed dur- ing which the members viewed the display of "antiques" which was supervised by the South Granville Institute.

. Evening session

The evening session opened with the singing of "0 Canada". Mrs. J. A. Lawson, in her address, told what the C.A.C. was doing in getting standardized sizes in clo- thing and standard weights in foods and soap flakes. Hunter River C.G.I.T. sang a chorus, "Early One Morning", and a col- lection was then taken which am- ounted to slim.

Mr. G. B. Whltcside then spoke

n ”Soii Conservation". He said hat undernourished people were dissatisfied and this eventually led to war, so to keep peace in the world, food must be provided for the world, and this could only be done by maintaining soil fertility and preventing soil erosion by proper cultivation, a good rotation of crops, by looking after the woodlot and qplanting more trees if necessary. is was brought out more plainly by the film which followed, "Land in Trust".

The resolutions committee brought in the following resolu- tions:-

1. Be it resolved that the thanks of this convention be extended to the Fredericton Institute for their gracious hospitality.

2. it resolved that the thanks of this convention be ex; tended to our supervisor Miss Robin, Mrs. Matheson, Miss Mc- Carron, Mrs. Lawson, Mr. White- side, to the management of the Film Board, and to all others who contributed to the success of the conven .

3. whereas the dumping of rub- bish along our highways is an untidy and unsightly practice, and whereas this practice is a menace to health, providing as it does a breeding place for files and germs; therefore be it resolved that some- thing be done by those in auth- ority to have this practice stop- ped. .

4. Be it resolved, as Institute members, we give our whole- hearted support to the mobile X- ray unit.

5. Be it resolved whereas the blood supply is now inadequate to meet the present-day needs, that all members of this convention pledge themselves to support the next blood donor clinic.

6. Lastly, be it resolved that following the informative address by Mrs. Lawson and the good common' sense suggestions, that we, in the interests of every day economy. support whole-heartedly the C. A. C.

It was moved, seconded and canted that these resolutions be adopte as read. and the meeting closed singing the National

some of the first to explore the wilderness in search of gold were men from the Maritime Provinces of Canada. Both Hes derson and Cormack (McCormaok) were from Nova scotlan Tom Brazil of stim- merside. P. E. I.. with three part- ners left 9. whaler quietly in the year 1894 after going through Bering strait, landed in the Alaska coast and struck a good "pay streak," and were back in Seattle within two years with a fair sized "stake."

George Higgins of Kenslngton was prospecting in the Kuekoquim river district of southwestern Al- aska in 1894. He "mushed" for three weeks in sight of Mt. Mc- Kinley every day. It is the highest peak in North America (20,000 feet) and is visible for at least 200 miles. The last thousand feet is a snow and ice cap. Attempts have been made to climb the ice peak for the last fifty years. It was thought by many climbers that the last 1000 feet was impossible, but the Saturday Evening Post: or Reader's Digest has a story of its conquest by a recent expedition. "Indians knew gold when they saw it. They had seen "colors" in the hills and in stream beds. The news was confided to some white trap- pers and steamboat men. If white men or Indians find gold, it is not natural for them to keep it secret. They mustx tell someone. The sec- ret would eat their hearts out. There are stories of hidden and secret mines like that of "Scotty" of Death Valley fame, but they are generally fi tents of sensational writers' vivi imaginations. The "Lost Dutchman" in Arizona is another mythical fantasmagorla.

The" news had to be transmitted by "bush telegraph." There were no telephones, telegraphs or radio, but the "whisperings" reached to the for places o; the earth where

people "moll for gold." When the news, of the big discovery startled the world, people converged from all corners of thelesrth toward Alaska and the Yukon. They were all colors, creeds and tongues, even spotted South Sea Islanders (Kan- akls.)

There were people who knew the famous Cecil Rhodes intimately in South Africa. Frank slavin the champion Australian heavyweight pugilist was a prorginent figure in Dawson in early ays, also Rex Beach, Jack London, Frank Gotch, champion wrestler. Slavin was a partner with another great athlete Joe Boyle, who was a Canadian and was a. patron of athletes in his latter years. Boyle was argreat planner and promoter. He was suc- cessful in getting a mining con- cession" from the Dominion Dept. of Mines, on the Klondike river flats, extending from the ogllvie bridge to Bear Creek.

Eventually he raised capital enough to install one of the largest sold dredses and the pay-oft was good. Poor slavln was side tracked. He had become a slave to strong drink and was figuratively count- ed out. Boyle weighed am paunds,1 but was still strong and athletic. i saw him jump and grab the boom of his big dredge and pull himself up and astride the boom. I thought it was too much for a. man of his years and weight. He was close to forty at that time but vanity is not for women alone. The occas- ion required. and he didn't run out. His daughter wrote some memoirs of her father in Mcieanhs Magazine a. few years ago.

She couldn't believe he ever weighed 240 lbs, The daughter hadn't seen him on account of do- mestlc trouble. Boyle had a most imposing countenance and phys- ique. He joined the forces in the Great War. He had a fine military bearing and previous military training. He was sent to Romania on a special mi.-mlon by the British High Command, and so impressed Queen Marie and her advisers that he soon became the "man behind the Throne." it was a strange state of affairs-with implications of re-

mance--it was very generally sub-

some Indians at least knew out there was gold in the gravel, but they were either too lackadasical or not resourceful enough to make any kind of contraptions for sep- arating the gold from the gravel. They relied on furs to supply them with such things as they required.

The Yukon steam boats of the Alaska Commercial Co., brought in their necessaries. There were al- so a few whites who had estab- lished trading posts at convenient places on the river, generally at the junction of a tributary.

It may have been only a coin- cidence, but there always seemed to be an eddy (slow or reversing water) immediately below each

.I.x.

tributary. There was a. spacious eddy for almost the whole dis- tance (l. mile) on the river from or Dawson. The Klondike comes in

about 100 yards above the eddy. It makes an ideal landing for any kind of small boats or flat barges.

The eddy extends out about 150 or 200 feet to where the swift wat- er is rushing by at seven miles an hour. The eddy was ideal too for ”booms" for logs which had been driven down the Klondike. Truck wagons were driven out among the 1083. On the hard rock and sand bottom where the logs floated in about a foot and a half of water, and loaded onto the wagons, over the wheels. There was a small coal mine up river at Minto, but wood was the principal medium of heat,

light and power. The N: W. M. P.

barracks alone took 1400 cents in mos. The 18 foot logs were of spruce, and remarkably light. The system was to "slash" the trees one winter, set. fire and burn off the limbs the next sum- mer and leave them to dry out in the sun all the next summer. Then cut. them into 16 ft. lengths and haul them to the "landings" the next winter. The burnt bark was all knocked off them in the mad rush of the drive down the Klondike (nine miles per hour current). Robert Henderson of Aspen, Col- orado was one of the people who heard the "wl'ii.spcrings" of a prob- able Golconda and the urge was so great that he was soon headed for

the Yukon. 1
