IMI OF MYSTERY

Skagway Alaskan Tells of Annual
Pilgrimages of Cobb, Who
Returns With Gold.
I
I
I _
-
“Mysterious” Cobb, accompanied
by Mrs. I'. \V. Cobb, wort; chair
car passengers to the north on
I lie White Pass railway Ibis
morning. There is nothing un
usual in people traveling in
chair cars to the north, and to
look at Mr. and Mrs. Cobb reveals
nothing extraordinary in their
conduct. Vet they are two of the
most mysterious people in the
world.
Five or six years ago Myster
ious Cobb was editor of the Nome
Nugget. One day he retired from
the newspaper business, and since
that time the two have made au
ni.inl pilgrimages to the interior
of Alaska, going down or up the
Yukon, to some of the most des
olate places, and hauling their
provisions in a simpl river boat
at some obscure landing, they pull
away into the unknown. In I lie
autumn they appear perhaps two
hundred miles from where they
left the river steamer, and re
10,mbarking they go outside for
the winter only in return the next
season and repeal the perform
ance.
\\ lien these Iwo strange peo
pie, strange only in I his one par
I irular, lake passage on the boats.
I hoy are1 plentifully supplied with
'money, occupying the most ex
I pensive quarters both on boat and
! hoi el. spending money lavishly.
| Perhaps the most insernlable
j part of the mystery which sur
'roiinds them is the fact that Cobb,
having formerly been an editor,
is now plentifully supplied with
money.
Mysterious Cobb is a well in
formed man; there is scarcely a
subject of human interest with
which he is not familiar, lie talks
equally well on politics, geology,
history, lilerature, and the arts
and sciences. Only on one subject
[ is he reticent, and that pertains
to the region in which he makes
his annual appearance, and wlinl
lie. Ifnds there.
Sometimes he goes up the Yu
kon via Nome and SI. Michael.
Once he disembarked ill Killing:
another time at N'oly Cross, again
lie slops al a wood landing litin
dritds of miles from a settlement.
Then he will go in via Skagway
as al present. onl\ In disappear
'in the wilds and swamp lands of
j I In.* untamed places; always ac
companied b\ Mrs. Cobb, and al
ways reappearing in the fall, go
ling outside and coming hack
!again Hush wil h money.
in«|tiisii ive persons nave uskcu
j | lie mysterious man if lie was en
| gaged in gold mining. His reply
| invariably is I hat lie lias some,
i tiling heifer than gold. He owns
I some placer claims in the north.
| Iml pays no attention to them.
|To a reporter of the Daily Alas
I kan lie said that in his opinion
!there would never be another gold
j stampede equaling that of the
(Klondike and the TananaJ but
says there will ho. a stampede
some day to the'interior for a
more precious article, and the
coming stampede will surpass
anything seen in the early days
[of gold discoveries.
( Where does I tie Mysterious
i Cobh go?
| Is h" another. Dealh Valley
[Scotty?
! Has tie discovered the volcanic
pipe which anciently belched out
' diamonds from the argillaceous
wfmib of the earth?
Ask him, and he will tell you
'of tpe geological formation of
j gems and of the deposits of pre
cious melals. He will tell you ev
lerylhing bill what you are most
Kanxious to know. Upon that suli
jjeel he is a sph.vnx, a Woodrow
