NEWS REPORTER GONE
William D. Johns, who is
said to be the first reporter
for the Chicago Record to
report the Klondyke gold
rush 46 years ago ,died re
cently in Seattle. The gold
discovery was made on
August 17, 1896, and hisj
first dispatch sent out of'
the Yukon the next month
was first published March
2, 1897, indicating the slow
ness of news transmission
in those days. He was en
route to Circle City, visit
ed the discovery site, and
later staked out claim No.
12 on the El Dorado which
he sold before he knew it
was rich with gold. Many
newspaper men have thus
thrown away fortunes for
the love of their work.
