I wuz down to the grocery store last week, and some of the prices brought to mind a story I re- called from the Journal back in q) 7. They wuz a Shelton man name of Ed Crowell who left town fer Alaska in the spring of thet year aud he had the for(sight to carry lots of food with him. Wal, the eggs he took brought him $4 a dozen and butter. $1 a lb. He also sold lemons fer 50 cents each, and ten sacks of spuds fer $1,000. Guess times hain't changed so much after all. i Yep, mining shore wuz in the news, them days. I rec'lect they WtlZ a party of men located a mine in the Olympic Mts. Which had ore with gold and copper assayed at 5100 a ton. I They wuz reported to be located between the Duckabush and Ham- ma Hamma rivers, which is easy to reach. Couple of the men wuz named Peter Standall and Henry Winslow. From Seattle, I reckon. Alaska wuz the big gold-news territory, thffugh. Every time a ship come into the Sound with miners and gold aboard, they wuz a flock of stories fluttering like the Jay-birds in all the news-pa- pers. The Portland brung down $160,- 000 in gold and the Cleveland wu) expected to have at least a million when it arrived a couple weeks late*'. A group (f men from Hoodsport wuz making plans fer building a steam schooner fer a trip to Klondike in the spring of '98. Boa*builder Robbins and W. W. Martins wuz instigators. They planned to sail right up the river to the gold-fields, carrying plenty of supplies fer sale and expecting to use the boat fer freighting on- the river. illustrating the extent of the gold operations up north, they wuz a brand-new stamp mill set up tact year which wuz the larg- est in the world. The* wuz at Douglasts Island, near Juneau. Wuz a 300-stamp mill, and the previous biggest one wuz at South Africa. A 280- stamp mill. Yep, times wuz reely booming them days. I recall the* the pat- ent medicine bizness wuz good, then too. At least they wuz all advertizing like mad to keep the customers interested. They wuz concentrating on 'scrofula the* year -- Scrofula, thet's a form of consumption. All claimed they could positively and completely cure scrofnla. Also Catarrh, colds, lung and throat troubles. Ye could get anything from Clmmberlain's cough rem- edy to Ely's cream Balm an'd Ayer's or Hood's sarsaparilla fer yore' trouble.
