Old Russian Working?.
While he world is still wondering
after forty centuries how such va~t
richer as the gold aud diamond mines
of Solon- i at: ! Hiram, King of Tyn,
could iu>e lost, to the world, it
forg* -: t- at in the great gold fields of
Ala-; .a ther* is a similar instance,
confined entirely within ihe hounds of
the ui: century.
There is ample evidence that the
Klon ike gold fields were discovered
by Ruff uns in tho early thirties, last
century, and worked by political slaves
to a considerable extent, before being
abandoned and forgotten. Aud it is
now reca ll*:! that iu 18-5'.! the Russians
explored ti.j Shushitua aud Seward
peninsula districts thoroughly, and
mined thousands of dollars worth of
gold on the Anauk river iu the Seward
pem su! .. .[■; fact the instruments
which they used aud the chains with
which the convicts were hobbled while
they worked will be a portion of the
Russian occupation exhibit of Alaska
