LOST GOLD RUSH TOWN SHOCKED PASTOR ARBURN, Cali ‘The gold rush that began a hundred years ago made many people rich, but it didn’t make everybody happy. It saddened the Rev. Dr. Joseph A. Benton, a Congregational pastor from Sacramento who wrote the fellowing account in 1852 of a gold rush town in Shirttail Caynon near here. “It was evening . . . lights were dapeing thickly about . . . men were passing to and fro in all directions. As we went along the narrow street, the principal gambling saloon threw a glare of light upon it, and the drinking shops were all wide open. . . “Here was one of the stateliest Luildings the place could boast. Two rooms . . . the front one was a loung- ing or sitting room, with a tar in it, and the back one was a dancing room. There were scores of men here, as lookers on, or revelers in dissipation. “In the rear apartment were mi-' ners and others, with unkempt hair, long beards, stamping through the dances with perfect wildness and abandon, amid clouds of dust and with such companions as vulgar, smoking spitting, painted, swearing | females. “Between the sets, all adjourned to | the bar, steaming and sweating and to refresh themselves with In the sitting room the postmast and deputy sheriff, playing car with their favorite courtezans.

The Donjac has recently come off | the Northern Commercial ways af- ter extensive repairs and modifica- ticns designed to have it comply with Coast Guard regulations re- garding the carrying of paid freight and passengers. Jack Burford, own- er of the vessel, said he received the required passenger transport certif- icate several days ago when Comdr. Howell of the Coast Guard was in Juneau. A new Packard engine was in- stalled in the vessel while under- going repairs, She is also equipped with two-way radio. The Donjac, taking a party of 10 arranged by Dr. Fisher of the Vet- erans Administration, went to Taku Glacier and Annex Creek last Sun- day. Burford said mountain goats were seen and the waters were fairly heavy with sea lions. —s————— ANCHORAGE VISITOR George Laird from' Anchorage is registered at the Baranof Hotel. 7 - B — In some parts of Africa, black and rod fruit-jar rings are popular as bracelets. == Bt e DAY sy s Befter Look Olil Or He Will \Lose His Shirt BALTIMORE, May 5—(®— A Land of thieves apparently took a pretty hard when their victim twitted them for running off with a mere £100 while missing a $1,000 payroll.
