Tbe adventurous career of the prospector was begun on a farm near the Northern end of Lake Champlain, Where he was born. In his early manhood Mr, Ladue went to the far northwest and finally located on the Upper Yukon, having been attracted by the bne woodland in the neighborhood. Here he bought ISO acres of land, built a sawmill and established an embryo trading poet It was upon his land that gold was first discovered In the Yukon region, and Indus's trading past became the hroeperoua city of Dawson, the north-e- n city of gold. Hla estates in the Klondike region, with the property that he has bold are said to be worth heveral millions of dollars. Mr. Ladue returned to his home near plattzburg in July, 1897, and told itrange stories of the gold-ma- d colony n the North. Love for Miss Anna dason of Schuyler Falls. N.
