Wherever the vellow metal is found the stream of cm1<r1atlon is (111 ected on full f01 cc, and although many difficulties ale usuall1 found 1n its path and 01 eat 0b- stacles impede the way, the pe1 suit Of it has always conquel ed and overcome them. Pel haps the most inhospitable region where gold has yet been found is on the, Yukon, but next spring probably 200,000 men will turn their steps toWard . the-barren regiOn undeterred by tales of cold, of lack of shelter and the priva- tions to be endured and of whose exis- tgnce they are as fully assured as of the: presence of gold itself in the ice-bound earth. It IS r'epo1 ted that ships aggre- gating 100,000 tons cauying capacity and with accommodations for 15,000 passengers are advertised to sail from Seattle for St. Michael’s, the mouth of the Yukon, in April, and that over one- half Of these areengaged to their ut- most capacity. The fare, with a ton’s weight- of stores, about $500, and with these temptations the trans- portation speculators are hastening to share in the first fruits of the vast' mi- ranges gration. \ But the history of every gold—produc- ing country in so far as it rested upon gold or silver mining is one of tempor- ary success, followud by permanent de- pression. Mexico and Peru are exist- ing examples, the State of Navada is a third nearer home, and that California is prosperous is in no way due to the fact that she was richly endowed with gold, but that hers is one of the richest and most productive agricultural soils in the world. 80,100, has it been with Australia. and-thei't-imei'is already Vneal when ColO1 ado will find he1 g1 eatest account in othe11ndust11es than 1e- (lucing her silvel O1 es. But the Yu— kon valley-has no such recourse. The time will probably come in the lives of people n'ow living when her valleys of ice and snow will" revert ,tO their form- er desolation, and she will exist only: in a lurid page Of colonial history. AAA er Some Foo‘thall Lessons; . ' The great game of football between Yale and Princeton'in New' Haven on Saturday proved several things which some experienced coaches and players, have been ‘slow' to admit, says the New York Tribu‘ne. _ To start with, it deni- onstrated conclusively that straight open fobtball may be as effective as it is interesting to'spectators. In this particular the lesson of the tie game at Cambl idgew as reinfo1ced by the un- expected t1 iumph ovc1 Princeton, and the fact that a sty is. of play which has so much to 1ecommend it, aside frOm its winning qualities, is strongly advo- cated by the members and Imaniigers of the team that has made so extraor- ds’inary an exhibition of the force and . finish which can be given to raw 'ma-v- terial is sure to-have great influence in leading other colleges to adopt a simi- lar view. Itis not less but more Oh- vious as the season ends that heavy mass plays ought to be abandoned and that the game would be improved thereby. Another fact which has always been. acknowledged but too seldom acted on was made especially conspicuous on Saturday, namely, that to be sound in mind and limb ought to be reckoned an indispensable qualification for every . player in an important game. A Crip- plc is a detriment to the team he plays in, no mattel how gleat his skill and expelience ma1 be. stels ove111 helmcd the veterans of ' Princeton chiefly because they were in perfect phvsical They V .vent into the ga .ne fit to whip thei1 Weight in wildcats, and every one of them came out of the tremendous con- llict without a strain. Doubtless there was some good luck in that, but there was more good judgment and com— mon- senss. It is not a pertinent an- swer to say that a hard game develops unexpected weaknesses, £01, in the first place, it is the business of a trainer not to ;be deceived, and. in the second condit1on. place, there is always a competent sub- stitute in good bodily condition to take the place of a disabled player. Baird, of Princeton, for example, at his best is in the very first‘class, but he stayed in Saturday’s game far too long. He showed splendid pluck in returning to the combat after successive injuries, but he showed bad judgment, never- theless. Toward the last he was a source not of strength but of weakness to his team, and he would have exhib- ited higher moral courage by retiring. An oarsman whopulls a: .race through .to the end whatever happens is en- titled to unmixed admiration, for he cannot be replaced; but when:a foot- ball player‘s valiant obstinacy keeps a better man out of the game both‘ he and his superior in authority are at fault. I ‘And the fault is a prevalent one. Every college has committed and suf- fered from it.» It is not improbable that every member of the Yale team would have been as loath to yield as Baird was if an. accident had rendered him less capable than his substitutes, and the coaches might have let him play on and run a serious risk of losing the game in consequence. Further- more, though this is not likely to be considered in the. stress Of V conflict, something is due to the feelings of spec- tators, to whom the evidence of physi- cal distress are not agreeable,the asset. tions of those who liken football to bull- fighting to the contrary notwithstand- ing. The two requirements which ought to be recognized by all college football authorities are open play and the exclusion or retirement from every game of every player whose physical condition is below par. _ r A ‘ FEMININE CHAT.
