WEEKLY I SUN y“ A L K -‘ ET more $50,000.,(36m-T—l-IE—KLONDIKE “—— Patrick Galvin, Who Went to Alaska . Poor, Is Now a Croesus. Philadelphia, Nov. 23.—A man whose partner made $25,000,000 out of the Klon— dike gold fields, and who is credited with having made twice as much him- self, is in this city. His name is Pat- ‘ rick Galvin. One year and six months ago he was a poor man. He now ranks among the multi-milionaire kings, not only of the United States. but of the world. ,He is here on business. and has been spending much of his time in the East. He came to this city to have a very small amount of his gold dust turned into coin. He is stopping at the Hotel Walton. . He appeared at the Philadelphia Mint Monday morning and was received by finperitendent- Kretz. Mr. Galvin said that lie was a little short of _money,_ and that he had some gold which he had dug out of the Klondike mines, and added that he wished it turned into money as soon as possible. His gold was dust, nuggets, and in a granulated condition. It weighed in the neighborhood of five hundred ounes, and proved to be of the finest quality. Its value was estimated, and Cashier Murphy was authorized to pay $4,018.51 to Mr. Galvin. While all this was tak- ing place the Klondike milionaire was closeted with the superintendent in his private office. Mr. Galvin said he had been a news- . , paper man, had worked on papers in the: 'West, and shortly before going to Klondike “was engaged in an editorial ' e: pacity on the Helena Independent, tie largest paper in Montana.‘ Over 1” )ur years ago he went to Alaska and settled in Forty Mile, a city a little less "than one hundred miles distant from 3 what is now Dawson City. There he took up the hardware business and re- . mained until the gold craze struck the country a little over a year ago. He sold out his business at once, and. with what small capital he could gather started for the gold fields. His wife was with him, and they made the trip . together. At that time he had no part- ner, but went with a party of nine prospectors from Forty." Mile. Mrs. Gal- vin was the first woman to enter the gold fields. “Claim 39, out of which I made the most money, I paid $10,000 for,” said Mr. Galvin. “During the past months I have taken out gold which I value at over one hundred times that amount. I am now in the possession of many claims, and have working un- der me between six and seven hundred Not one of them receives less men. than $15 per day, and the bosses re- ceive $25. I had a partner. I recently bought him out. Two years ago I loaned him enough to buy a stove. He is now worth $25,000,000. Any man can go to Klondike and make a living. No man should go, however, with less than $1,200, for he has to take his own pro. visions with him. Dawson City now numbers over ten thousand inhab- itants. It has a theatre, a church, and a number of large stores. I own a store "there which cost $200,000. It is built of logs, and is forty—eight feet wide and twice as long. It is not very beautiful to look at, but it is very warm and comfortable. In a few weeks I am go- ing with my sister and wife to County Derry, Ireland, where my parents live. I'have not seen them for twenty-five years. I am going to make them com- fortable for life. “When I return I am going to Klon- d-ike again, and expect to reach there about the middle of May.” Mr. Galvin is a thin, wiry man, about 5 feet 10 inches in height. He weighs about 140 pounds. He has thin, gray hair, and a. kind face. He wears glasses, and was attired in a complete suit of black. He looks more like a well—to-do minister than a gold miner.

The remarkable cures accomplished in N orwalk during the last seven months are something to astonish and convince the most skeptical. No won- der the people believe‘in it; no wonder a- promiuent druggist lately said: "Be- lief in California Catarrh Cure is an article of faith in the Nor-walks, be- cause people know for themselves, with- out regard to what any interested par- ties say, of cures it has wrought among their friends and neighbors.” W'hy ! People have sufi'ered for years and never dreamed they could get any relief by using anything and some day a friend says: “California Cat-arrh Cure cured me, it will cure you, and you won’t have to wait to find out about it either. It relieves at once. ” ' Here are the words 0f one of our neighbors now, telling why she believes in it. You know that it is true because you know her. Mrs. John Lycett, 21 High street, Norwalk. says: “My daughter, Violet, has been troubled since childhood with . catarrh, until her whole head seemed more or less diseased. She had be- gun to be a little deaf, and suifered much with severe headaches so that we have had to keep her out. of ‘ school a good deal. I sent her to 'Plaisted’s drug store, South Norwalk after a bottle of California Catarrh ' Cure and she commenced using it. Its beneficial effects have been simply wonderful. It has helped her from the .first in every way. I have not heard her complain of a headache for a long ; time. and by the time she had finished her first bottle, I feel confident that. : she will be cured."

His Pension Gave Him Wealth. “Jim” Dawes had never made much success in life from the time the boys ggot the better of him in trades at school until he was jostled off his claim in Oklahoma. His special talent was for fence—building, and in a coun- try where produce is more plenty than ' coin, “Jim” was paid for his services mainly in supplies. At hog-killing as recompense for his labor, and rare- ly saw a greater luxury. Through in- fluence and persistence he finally se- cured from the Government a pension of $2 a week, to which 'he had a legiti— mate claim. Passing him on the street one day a neighbor called out: “ ‘Jim,’ I’ve got some fences to be put up, and I want you to come out to the farm to help me. We’ll have a hog- killing pretty soon, and there will be some good jowls for you to pay you for your trouble.” “Thankyou,” responded “Jim,” with the easy independence of a man with an assured income. “I don’t mind helpin’ you with your fences, but I’m eatin’ a little further back on the hog uow.”—Judge.

I am a-tellin’ you right now. I hit my thumb with the hammer, and "sted of sayin’ ‘By ginger!’ like I most always do, I hol- lers out, ‘By pepper!’ I dunno how much hotter I would of made it if it had hurt a little worse.”—Indianapolis Journal.
