Address all communications to THE STANDARD, Concord, N. C. CONCORD. JULY 30. 1897. . - J : It Is An Eldorado. It is not a question now as to whether or not there is a rich de posit cf gold somewhere in Alaska; but how rich it is or whether the old finds are minimized aud the -dangers and difficulties to obtain, it are magnified, in order to secure i larger grabs for -the knowing ones, or whether the finds are magnified and the ros or an Alaskan wuter are form ng a death trap for the renturesome who are tvarieoasly in clined is a matter for much specula tion. 1 We insert below part of a letter from Mr, Chande C Ramsey, a na me of Rowan, to the Truth written front the State of Washington : "Some of these stories read like fairy tails, but knowing the men as I do, seeing them leave here 18 months ago with barely enough 'money to' land them in Alaska, and then see them return, mny worth v$10,000, others $50,000, and not a -few orer $100,000, it is no wonder 'the whole Pacific coast is wild with excitement. -."This is no ejuess work, for these onen brought back the dust, and it took two big express wagons guard- d by eight men with rifles to haul the gold from the boat to the office. The next boat down is .expected to 'bring about $2,000,000. Every one f in Seattle has gone crazy, and the steamers cannot begin to handle, the business. Understand . our old friend Scctt Lindsay is interested in i claim, so he need not worry much about the future. I expect to go into the Yukon next spring myself, and if I am not fortunate enough to locate a claim, work at $15 per day and board is not bad you know. All 'along the Yukon river and its tribu taries gold is found in great quanti ties, and I have yet to meet the -miner from Alaska, who would not Hell you that concerning, the great Miches of the Klondike the half has - never been told or dreamed of by mortal man. Certainly nothing in the history of the world equals it -even now where it has only been washed down the river from some fountain source, and when that is discovered it will simply revolution ize the financial system of the United . States if not the civilized world. The Firemen's Tournament. The local firemen estimate that 'from six to eight .hundred firemen from this and other States will take part in the coming tournament, and 1 that thousands of yisitors will flock Vhere irom aboard. They say it wil be three times as great as any si mi lar event ever hold inthe State, says the Fay etteyille Observer. 7 Nobodv nppil fa Pain Pills Irom druggists. "One cent a dose?1 A ttothnr's Pryer. A correspondent of the London Echo has written this testimony: . "Many a night, as I remember lying quietly in the little upper chamber before sleep came on, there would be a gentle footstep on tie stair, the door would quietly opeD,' and in a moment the well-known form, softly gliding through the darkness, would appear at my bed side. First there would be a few pleasant inquiries of affection, I Which gradually deepened intc words of counsel. Then kneeling; her head close to mine, her most earnest hopes and desires would flow forth in prayer. How largely a klnd,loying mother can wish for her boy! Her tears bespoke the earnest ness of her desire. I seem tofeel them yet where sometimes they fell on my face. Rising, with; a good night kiss, she was gone. The prayers often passed out of thought in slumber, and came not to mind again for years, but they were not lost. They were safely kept in some secret place of memory, for they reappear with a beauty bright er than eyer. I willingly believe that they were an invisible bond with heaven that secretly preserved me while I moved circles ly amid numberless temptations and walked the brink of crime. A Financial Success. The appeal of the firemen to the citizens for help, financially, in their time of n?ed, was liberally re sponded to Thursday night at their lawn party on the graded school grounds. It was a decided success, from a finoncial standpoint, and the weather and other conditions were quite favorable. About $38 were realized. The firemen request that The Standard thanks one and all for their contributions, especialy the ladies, who kindly assisted them. They certainly do appreciate what has so generously been done for them, and they wish the public to know it. An Old Landmark Being Torn Down. The old Methodist church, which stood on Church street, in which our fathers worshipped nearly three quarters of a century ago, has been torn down. It was probably one of the oldest landmarks in the city, and was abandoned by the present Central Methodist church congrega tion in 1864. . In its time, the build ng has served as a place of wor ship, a skating rink, a buggy house, a common warehouse, and recently as a guano warehouse. The property was purchased some time ago by Mr. George Swink who has torn it away in order to make room for a handsome resi dence, to be the family dwelling place in the near future.
