Out of it came $1,000,000 and his lifelong nickname, the Lucky Swede. Soon the world outside could talk or dream of little except the Klondike. Preachers, policemen, doctors quit their callings and headed for the bitter North. The mayor of Seattle, in San Francisco for a convention, "did not bother to return home, but wired his resignation." From New York came 500 women, mostly widows, by steamer around...
