Bessie Lassarge Hopes to Lift the Mortgage on Her Mother’s Home. Now En Route to the Gold Fields and | Is Traveling all Alone. | Chilcoou Pass, Aug. 10, via Dyea, | Aug. 15.—Little Miss Bessie Lae sarge will be the “Heroine of the Klondike” if ever that proud distine- tion shall be won. I found her en youte to the gold fields, traveling all alone, and among all the tales cf courage, perszverance and ce'f sacri fice of which ove hears ia infinite variety, that of this pretty 19 year- old Argovaut stands cut in golden letters. If Miss Lassarge does not think herself a heroine, there are thousands of psople here who do. She has set an example that many a man would hesitate to follow Six years ago7this girl, then 13 years old, went to Tacoma with her} mother from New York. Times bad been hard in the East, and the mother, a widow, saw no apparent escape from the slough cf despoud into which she was steadily sinking. Ike mavy others she looked te the West, and, gathering her little pos- sersious together, started to make a new home thore But in Tacowa the mother found it impogstble to mike both ends meet, and so it became necessary, a year or two after her arrival, to place a mortgage on the little cot tage which she bad bought with the money still remaining, in order that she aod her young daughter might keep the wolf from the door. Be fore many months the mortgage falls due. It is this that has spurred Bessie toreach the mines I doubt if any other woman who has come Klon- dikeward has a nobler object to at- tain thao this brave little girl.

She has come gold hunting not merely from the avaricious desire to poesese richee, but rather to insure to her mother the comforts she seems destined to have to give up. I have heard many expressions of admiration for her pluck, but what has most impressed everybody is her heroic uneelfishness. If Miss Lassarge doesn't have mapy an offer of afriendly hand along the rough, hard trip to the diggings, it won't be because her nerve 1s not appre- ciated, and nerve on the Chilcoot trail just now is at a premium. “I think itis a great deal better,” ths suys, “that I should have a hard time for a little while than that my mother should lose her home.
