*‘I asked her,‘‘ said Jim, ‘‘if she wanted to buy some beef. She said that she did because her husband, in compliance with doctor‘s orders, had to lay up in Dawsor all winter in an attempt toâ€" regain his strength! Nourishing food was what he needed. She said for me to set my price and I told her it would be 85 cents a pound. _ She said to bring it up to. the scales and that she would weigh out the money. I asked her if there was not money here and she said : *‘No, there is nothing but gold.‘ Well. gold was plenty good énough for me and from that day on I started in the gold busimness. Thte oxen we bought at Henora for $100 brought us $400 each in rea} gold in Dawson. ‘*The maim street of Dawson along the waterfront, was bnilt solid for aâ€" bout haif a mile. TKe houses were mostly of logs and there was everyâ€" thing going on there from the class of activity in the Bowery to that to be mot with in Fif{i® Avenue. But this wide range extortainment and dissipation was not long afforded, for it happened that â€"a few days after our arrival the street was burned to the ground. ‘Then eabins were built tor miles in every direction, where for me and from in the gold bus bought at (Heno us $400 each in â€" ‘*The mam st the waterfront, j bout haif a mil mostly of logs a thing gaoing on 1 of activity in th lbe mot with in | ts wide traaze â€" P Sandy Melntyre and. Jim were partners for approximately five years. ‘"In 1910,"‘ continued Mr. Hughes, ‘©"Sandy said, ‘I‘d like to sell you an interest in the property I staked up in Porcupine.‘ He offered me a quarter interest for $200, and showed me the blue prints. Well, I bought it, saying that we would go up there and take a peek at it. It was at Pearl Lake. When we got there I ‘an a big log out into the lake and then put a poplar pole down to anâ€" chor it there. We needed that to walk out on to secure our drinking water as the lake was shallow and its bottom very muddy in the near shore. Well, a beaver ate the pole in the night and the log was gone in the morning."‘‘ But it was not with ‘‘Sandy‘‘ that Jim struck his first gold.. He got it from a woman who claimed to be the first white woman in Dawson and the story involves the sale of beef,. Jim had been a butcher of a sort for a few days after he killed the oxen with which he trekked into the little city. He went along the street one day seeking prospective customers and met with this singular white woman. *‘I asked her,‘‘ said Jim, ‘‘if she wanted to buy some beef. She said that she did because her husband., in Of one.of his partners Jim speaks with a wealth of friendly feeling. ‘*‘He‘s the best old soul you ever knew,‘‘ he says of him. ‘‘Sandy"‘ MceIntyre is the man upon whom he bestows this heartfelt encomium. »tar says :â€"â€" "I took an option on ‘a quarter m- terest to find gold within 60 days,"‘‘ he said. â€" "‘I divided that interest with Sandy Melntyre of the now Meâ€" Intyre Mines. ~He and I were partâ€" ners for years. It was Jack Reamsâ€" bottom who paid others to go out and stake it. â€"I found the gold within the 60 days, and went back to Reamsbotâ€" tom and I told him: ‘You have an awâ€" ful good property. But,‘ I said, ‘I hawe not enoufl'h interest in it to bother with it.‘ "He said: ‘What‘s that?‘ I told him that I wanted the other threeâ€" quarters interest.. ‘For $5002‘ he asked. ‘No,‘ I said. ‘I‘ll give you £1,000 toâ€"morrow and $25,000 within three months." His wife was there, too. â€"Well, I never saw anyone more delighted."" The property involvedâ€" some 120 acres.
