(Juneau Empire)
“The Klondike Clan,” by S. Hall
Young, a recent addition to the lit
erary world, is, as the title indicates,
a story of the Klondike and begins
with the first mad rush of the gold
stampede in ’97, when the famous
Soapy Smith and his gang haunted
the trails into the land of gold to re
lieve the unwary and unsuspecting of
their money. A copy of the first edi
tion of the book has just been receiv
ed in Juneau.
The author is in a position to know
whereof he speaks, as he was among
the first who underwent the hard
ships of the Chilkoot pass in the wild
dash to reach the Klondike before the
deep snows made travel impossible
until the next spring. It is easy to
see that the author knows and loves
his Alaska. The theme is big and the
story well told. Men left their all
for the gold-lust, and with each try
ing to get ahead of the other or keep
his own place on the perilous trails
and rivers, it was easily a case of the
survival of the fittest.
The characters of the Parson and
Long Sandy are well and convincing
ly drawn and Viva, the heroine, is
sweet and lovable. There is nothing
she cannot do from tossing a flap
jack six feet into the air in real min
er fashion to steering a boat down
the dangerous Whitehorse rapids and
shooting 25 caribou in one hour when
the winter supplies of several of the
miners were burned and they stood in
danger of starvation as there was no
food to be bought in the whole camp.
But, then, we must remember that
Viva was raised on a Montana ranch,
was a sure shot and in the habit of
shooting rapids as long as she can
remember. There are women, God
bless ’em, who can rise to any emer
gency.
As to the scenic descriptions, they
are beautiful, depicting the wonder
and grandeur of God’s mountains and
rivers. It is a wonderful country this
Alaska—this land of the north—and
must be seen to be appreciated. The
book will bring back vivid memories
to olil-tiniers, and cannot fail to prove
interesting reading to all.
Rev. S. Hall Young dedicated “The.
Klondike Clan’’ to the Arctic Brother
hood.
Mr. Dave Bames, agent for the Den
ver Quartz Mill and Crusher Co., and
who operated the Mable mill so suc
cessfully last season, taking out
$13,000.00 in 17 days with a 15-ton
mill, is to leave in a few days for
Denver and other outside points.
Mr. Barnes is confident of the fu
ture of the Willow creek camp, be
lieving it to be the greatest free mill
ing gold camp in the United States if
not in the world and predicts that
the gold output from this camp, will
be quadrupled in the very near future.
Mr. Barnes has taken an order
from the Mohawk Mining company
for two Denver quartz mills besides
about $2,000 worth of other equip
ment. He believes the Mohawk com
pany has a mine and says the man
agement is preparing to put an up-to
date plant on their property of 40
tons daily capacity which they will
operate 12 months in the year.

The Moose are going to put on their
big minstrel show at the Empress
theatre on Monday evening, Dec. 18.
Nothing has been spared in the
way to make this event the crowning
success of the season.
Rehearsal after rehearsal has been
held for the past month and every
performer has been word perfect for
the past two weeks, with four more
rehearsals yet to go.
Every song is a hit and believe us
they are sung right. The community
is offering its best in the way of so
loists and they have been trained to
perfection.
There is not a curtain wait in the
entire performance which is planned
to last just two hours, starting
promptly at 8 p. m.
Of course the jokes are all local
and some of our leading social and
political and commercial lights are
apt to spend a bad five minutes, but
they will soon recover, while enjoying
a big laugh at their neighbor’s ex
pense.
The Moose are establishing an en
viable reputation in their ability to
pull off a classy affair and if past per
formances can be accepted as a cri
terion this is sure going to be some
show.
C. G. Wilford, under w’hose direc
tion the performance is being given,
in speaking of the affair states, “I
have purposely withheld the date of
the opening until I was perfectly sat
isfied that not the slightest hitch
would occur to mar any portion of
the performance. We have been rea
dy for the past week to put on the
show at a few hours’ notice, but with
four more rehearsals ahead of us,
two of these being: full-dress you can
state for me that the Anchorage pub
lic is going to participate in an even
ing of enjoyment that they would not
have missed for five times the price of
admission.”
