INTRIGUING MYSTERY OF GOLD
Show a man a .shining nugget or piece of quartz
studded with gold, tell him it came from Timbuctoo,
where head-hunters lurk behind every bush, poisonous
snakes wnggle in the grass, malaria germs teem in every
pool of stagnant water while tropical heat bears down
like a sheet of flame, and he will challenge every danger
ous element to get Inert.
This is the psychic effect of gold engendered during
the ages, from the date when Sheba bestowed her talents
of the precious metal upon King Solomon. It is the echo
of the romance and adventure of Drake and Raleigh,
one smiting the Spanish power in the Caribbean, the
other battling his way up the Orinoca seeking the hid
den treasure of the Incas; of Pizarro looting Aztec
temples.
Again it received emphasis in the conquest of the
days of ’49 when hardy men braved equal dangers in un
locking the treasure vaults of California—Deadwood,
where men fought Indians with one hand and dug nug
get * from the creek with the other. . . . when noted
frontier characters like Wild Bill, Calamity Jane and
other steliar lights added glamor to the already tense ex
citement which knew no waning.
Men look back on those days with a thrill and a yeanl
ing to have been of the vanguard of argonauts which
carried the flag of civilization further and further afield.
And yet we are rubbing elbows with one of the most
thrilling conquests and chapters of American golden his
tory but a few years removed from the great Klondike
stampede, with its romance, adventure and tragedy of I
hardship, wTant, bad men and worse elements.
Today the highlights of this stirring episode are
dimmed by modern invention. We negotiate in an hour
the distance men covered in a month or a year. There
are no hardships unless one willingly imposes them.
Lying almost in our backyards is the incentive for
all this adventure and romance suffering and alternate
victory and defeat.
Yet familiarity with the stage, viewed from behind j
instead of the fror t of the footlights, has taken the |
glamor from gold Hunting and reduced it to contempt. ;
But let someone drop in from a thousand miles away j
and show a little nugget, relate a tale of months battling j
blizzards In the Arctic, hunger, wolves, mosquitoes, j
treacherous rapids, towering mountains, and all theses-:
sei.tials to a proper stage setting," and we are away like
so many caribou willing to plumb the nether depths of
desoair, in our efforts to get there.
Like Mate:iink’s “Blue Bird,” we rush over the
world seeking happiness, when it is stalking in our very
shadow. , , , j
Barnum said men liked to be humbugged, and wis
dom has not so inoculated this old stock of ours but we
relish of a spectacular show wherein we can at best play
only the clown. ___

BACHELORS OF HOPE
PREPARED BOUNTEOUS
FEAST FOB TIE LADIES
By special corresponce
The bachelors of Hope, at a re
cent meeting, resolved that, as the
ladies expended their efforts in
supplying such bountiful dinners
during the holidays, and manifest
ed such spirit of good-fellowship,
it was up to the men to show their
appreciation.
They are going to return the
compliment by giving a dinner on j
the 11th of February, at the So
cial Hall. Everybody in Hope and
the surrounding country is invited
to come, partake and enjoy. Din
ner will be set for 6 p. m. on that
date.
The women of Hope*.(all six of
them) are. consumed with curiosi
ty as to the menu, and by dint of
much probing and quizzing, the
following bits of information have
been gleaned:
The baked beans will be the
handiwork of Wm. Logman and E.
E. Carson, whose reputations for
juggling the festive bean reaches
to the limits of the. Kenai Peninsu
la, as many an oldtimer will testi
fy. Also, Mr. Carson’s “Johnny
cake” has delighted the appetites
of the epicureans on many similar
occasions, and a plentiful supply
will be on hand at this dinner.
Joe Pradella, who is a connois
seur in his line, will furnish the
spaghetti, cooked Italian style.
The boys of the Hope Mining
Company, represented as the meet
ing by Frank Clark, will furnish
the roast. Frank will build three
varieties of cake, frosted cocoanut
and nut, cakes being more or less
of a specialty in his cuisine, from
the frosted variety to “hot cakes ”
Other accessories to the dinner,
too numerous to mention here,
were delegated to various bachelor
members of the community; and,
suffice it to say, the caches will be
ransacked for everything appro
priate to make the dinner a suc
cess.
