THE SOLD TRAIL
(Continued from Page One)
time.
The two Lippys were among
the first very fortunate ones on
the Klondike creeks. In the sum
mer of 1899 they had already made
a trip to the mint in San Francisco
with a load of gold and were re
turning by rail to Seattle when
this writer sat near them for two
I days on the trail. Here, first-hand
I heard an account of their won
derful adventures in the north,
tho’ all were told with becoming
modesty. As I was then on my
way to the Klondike, it may pro
perly be assumed that my interest
in what I heard was not slight.
The three men, Carmack, Hen
Iderson and Lippy, were very dif
' ferent in many respects, but the
love of adventure, discovery andj
mystery was prominent in their
make-up and brought them from
poverty in far-away states to a
wondrous success in the northern
gold fields.
From the time I left Seattle I
had adventure a-plenty, and what
I lacked, those around me sup
plied. Upon reaching the Klon
dike, to this were added novelty
and discovery — not discovery of
the precious metal, but discovery
of the riches and poverty of Hu
man Nature among these hun
dreds of milling, struggling hu
mans, fighting to the death at
times for supremacy and first-rank
among the gold claims,
i Then the officials. Two propo
sitions opened up like this: The
j first one—an American prospector
; goes out to the creeks, finds ground
! not staked, makes a discovery and
I decides to record it in town. He
i goes to the recorder’s office and
|relates his experience, describes the
! ground and wants to record. He
i is told by the clerk to come back
next week; he is too busy just
I then. In the meantime, men are
'sent by this office to look at the
ground; they find it promising,
locate it for officials or themselves
and record it on the books. When
our prospector comes into the of
fice at the time appointed he is
told that the ground was already
taken and recorded. He has no
chance.
This was common usage.
Again, in 1898. a number of men
built first-rate log cabins along
the Klondike just above the mouth
of the river. When finished, and
the owners had moved into them.
The mounted police ordered them
off, and the cabins, built at great
expense and labor, torn down.
From this order there was no es
caping—it was obeyed. Needless
to say, same, if not all, these
cabin builders were Americans,
'my father was one of them, so
I know).
Father never built again in Daw
ison. But being resourceful and
wishing to remain longer, he
1 bought a large open scow, topped
it over with living- and work
