NO. 17. Bill Explains Why He Left the Social Attractions of State Run for a Dreary Woodchopper's Stay in Kettle Creek-His Two Exciting Bear Encounters. QUARTER of a century ago, when the valleys and bottom lands of Pennsylvania was decked in the abundant growth of timber which was nature's heritage. A ber, if his attention, had been directed to the descent Kettle Creek region, would have turned up his nose disaffectionally and passed on to greener fields. But the days when a contractor could choose his place in the jungle like forest overlooking Kettle Creek, the camp is fitted into a large, flat, grassy mountain top. A narrow turnipkeen winds up to it from the highway hundreds of feet below, and beyond it, extending into the wilderness, great wastes of fallen trees, stumps and piles of hammock bark, and a large number of dozing all winter. Directly surrounding the shanty the trees have not all been removed, and on the frosty winter nights, when the sand hangs in great layers of snow, the trees can so crisp and keep that sound traveled through it with as much precision' as though shot from a megaphone, the panthers and catamounts climb into the tail timber and wake the slumbering of the forest, as well as the boys in the camp, with their wild and dismal howlings. One of those nights came about a month ago. The panthers and wildcats yelled more furiously, it seemed, than they had added to their worst writings was a voice of the north wind as it tossed the snow against the weather-heated sides of the shanty. For last night the shanty and the supper was over and the storm showed signs of abating they all gathered together in the big "bobby," which is home, club, society and Sunday school to them. The supper was over and the storm showed signs of abating they all gathered together in the big "bobby," which is home, club, society and Sunday school to them. The fact is that they were just in the mood to listen to one of Bill Blake's stories. He was Blake, on a cold winter's night ten years ago, entered a "Dear in the 'Pig Ears' district of Potter country and, with a revolver in each hand, forced the landlord and guests out into the street, after which he filled up on the proprietor returned with a posse of armed men. Blake barricaded himself in the cellar and would neither emerge nor allow any one to enter until the proprietor was promised by the Blowleville statute. "Say, Bill." said one of the woodsmans, "what tarnal cursedness ever possessed you to leave the good job you had in the woods, and the fall and come up to this pesky hole!" Bill Blake puffed contemptively at his pipe for a moment, after which he said, "Well, mebly I had a purty good reason, if I wanted to tell." son, if I wanted to tell." Then he laughed quietly. Nobody spoke and when Bill had finally gone over the details in his own mind, he continued: "You see I'd never have gone to the Slate Run job in the first place, but for one thing. Down at the city, where I had a lovely suit as a cochairman for a rich man, but I couldn't afford it. You needn't grin, Stirry. I kept myself party spick-an-span on that job, an', if I do say it, they won't many han' son-erbong slitters drive' down the pike. You don't need to be a business man! It hain't no one's business who the dude was 'at cut me out. I only mention the incident for the sake of explainin' why it was 'at i' ever went back to the lumber yard. "You see, everything went sort o' contrife with me in town after that. I got sick of the whole business, an' all the time while I was drivin' them spankin' hosses the streets my mind would keep a-rummn' the streets. I knowed they won't like to be no dudes nor gals to play hide-an-go-seek with a feller's heart. So back I goes to the Slate Run job, where I was well known an' only had to whistle to get work "Wall, the very first night I went in the camp made up my mind it wasn't good for me. I went to the gals. Right in that camp they were two as palsy气呐 as you'd care to see—I was a girl, I guess v-i-s-t-i-n' that, they told me, I found out afore I was in the camp very long 'at' they was a little too healthy. I went to the camp 'cull' you purty soon what made me think The damsel started right in by hirting with me, an' they was so winsome 'at I forgot all about the city gail right away, an' they was so winsome 'at an' it seemed to me 'at我 was in choice. The other fellers was all gettin' jealous of the way the gals was shinin' round me. I wasn't exactly my fault. I wasn't wafting me in. Wall, things went on lovely for about a week, an' one night the gals/sags to me, they says: 'Let's go along down an' get bored. 'Now the o'chard was quite a way behind the low camp an' it was closed in, by a big board fence about six feet high. Of course we went. We had a jolly time goin' toward the gals, the gals seemed more lovit to me than the gals. I need the high fence I wanted to help the gals over, but they says: 'No you go fust an' then we'll fold. So of course I will be board up to the fence an climb over a wall. Wall, it must have been a minute I waited that an' I didn't hear a sound from the other side. My mind itself. I see what they are: they don't want me to belong over after all. Then I say ont load, sort o' pleasant like: O, I thought you change your minds, purity daries! 'But they begin to get kinder mad. I was just asking me to over the fence an see what was the matter. THE APPEAL. when I heard a growl behind me an turned 'round quick. Lucks o' rattle-makes, boys, what a sight met my eyes! Thar was a big, big, ugly-lookin' cinnamon under an apple tree an 'a-lookin' right under an beautiful locks of mine stood on end like porcine quills. They weren't no use leelin for a gun, a cause I knew I didn't have any, not it was a jackknife or weapon if no kind. It not even a lettuce hotter proposi- tion than a baited jckle jest then, so 'bade Mr. Brun a basty farwell an made for the fence. "But now, boys, come the trouble in earnest. It was an easy enough matter, to get over that fence, but when it came round, it was a bit difficult. I seen it didn't do it enough so I jested an' turned my back to the fence an' waited. Bruin was within three feet of me then an' he riz up onto his hind feet an' stood that movin' his head down. I was in the ditch 'tionn' at me with his ugly paws. The moon was shinin' out bright an' clear above us an' he stood that between me an' it was one of the most sleeky, most beautiful feet, peeled to be nervous or discontented in the least an' I made up my mind I wouldn't be nervous either. So, look' straight into his face an' reckonin' the distance I picked out a spot on the big feller's under the fence an' reckonin' my big cowhide boot' at he' reilled with me. "You can bet I didn't wait to see the result, but I jest took it across that orchard as if the devil was at my heels. And I jest took it across that orchard. At last I see a hole in the fence where a board was gone, and at it I went: I reached it all right an' jest was about him wry through when I heard a shuffling of his shoes in the blood freeze up in 'knotty leeps lumps. Boys, did you ever know a b'ar could bunt? Walt, I have had the fact drilled in a putty forcible way; for what knocks in, it knocks in, it knocks in, it lively gait that night was'nlore more nor less than that b'ar's head. I was knocked into a heap on the outside of the floor shivered and said 'hught' the ground to shivered and said 'every second to Brun up on top of me. "Wall, I was purity sore when I got back to the camp, but I didn't say nothin' about that, an' the gals put up a nice little story, tellin' me how when they couldn't say nothin' an' just run back to the house. I took in everything they said, an' the next night when they dwell if I wanted to go 'long down with 'em an explore the old mine, I was jest that I took an old mini' lamp with an as when we got that I started in ahead carryin' the light. The old drift hadn't been worked for years an' dirty water was dripping' from the roof an' coverin' my in' doublen' as if a grope my way in' never doublen' as if a grope my way in' never only got a dozen feet or so, an' was just turnin' 'round-to-see if the dammsel was gettin' on all when I stumbled over somein' an' went sprawlin'.

Various schemes for extracting gold HE United States has been issuing permits for the most dangerous diving situations on record. Various schemes for extracting gold from the ocean have been put forward from time to time in the past, will be used in the future or dishonest. Now, however, this dream is to be realized, and it is probable that before the end of the coming summer millions of dollars worth of the yellow.metal shell of a ship will be seized by the sea by the gold fathers of Case Nome. As a result of the remarkable situation which has developed on this remote Alaskaan promontory the coming spring will be more strange than any in history. Thousands of boats will rush to the golden fishing grounds. Dredges and, diving bells will be called into use. The waters around the coast will be the craft of the eager adventurers, and fortunes may be won from the waves. DAY & KNOW MINUET GAMBLING OUTFIT REHSE THE BIG ONE: YOU MAY SHIP HUNDRED CRAP TABLES, A IS ELECTED THE ORDER WI Scientists and mining experts are agree that never before has there been found so strange and wonderful a natural treasure house as this, the newest and richest of Alaskan gold fields. Nobody knows how vast its riches may be, for they are hidden beneath ocean waves. The gravel and sand of the coast have been carried down from mountains that line the coast through thousands of years by glaciers and rivers. They have been ground fine by the ceaseless action of the waves. The grains of precious metal have been distributed along the shallow beach and have sunk in sand. There they lie, and all who can reach the spot are free to take of them. There are no property rights in the sea. The United States government controls it for three miles from the shore line, but the government interferes with the operations of the coast. There is a strong sense of seeing that they do not interfere with navigation. So long as the common rights are respected there will be no limitations on the submerged wealth as he can reach. How remunerative this submarine mining may prove to be is an unsettled question. The company has taken much of the submerged wealth as he名家 have found their quickest and most profitable returns from washing the sand along the beach. Last year, in a working season of ninety days, between May and October, the company this comparatively narrow stretch of shore. There is no reason to believe that the sand under water is any less rich than that which is exposed. As most of the companies claim the thousands who are preparing to make their way to the new field within the next few months probably will devote their attention to the area under water. At the points on the Pacific coast there is a strong demand for diving outfits, which some of the prospectors will take with them to the north. Sailboats and steam launches are being built for the purpose of reaching the submerged treasure and ahl kinds of outside intended to assist the shipment on the numerous lines of steamers which are to ply between Cape Nome and the cities of the Pacific coast. The ship is well suited for the operations of these sea miners. The shore slopes off very gradually, and the water is shallow for a long distance out. In fact, says the New York Times, the shore, and even light draught steamers are compelled to discharge their cargoes and passengers by means of lighters. Therefore the prospectors will not be able to reach the shore, and their operations, can be carried on with comparative ease, except for the storms which occasionally sweep the water, and which have strewn the shore with debris. How far out the gold extends, but it can ME FOUR DOZEN FARO OUTFITS, FOR D SEVEN BUSHELS OF LOADED L BE COUNTERMANDED. tainly reaches to the sand bars which lie the a mile or more off shore. The first operations will be carried on between this point the sand bar, but in time undoubtedly the gold will be pursued to its furthest limit. As the location of the Cape Nome deposits is without parallel, the best means of preparing for a return trip may be some time at least to the moment. Some of the miners who have visited Nome and who are now in West Africa are preparing for a return trip say that by sinking a square wood sherd—a sort of movable coferdam—it will be possible for men to descend to the sand coferdam it up. The washing, of course, will prepare to work in couples say that if they can obtain diving suits they can take out the sand without difficulty, one man will cover up it and the other remaining above it up the bucket as often as it is filled. Tunnels under the sea are also proposed in dreams of reaching the submarine treasure. The favorite plan of reaching the gold that rests upon the floor of Behring sea, however, of all those that are being considered now is that of dredging. A nummer of vessels will be fitted with steam dredging apparatus will be installed. Some sea this season. Others will make of the more primitive mechanism of hand windless and drag. The golden sand will be scooped up as oysters are in the beach. On the large boats provision will be made to wash out the gold on board, but the smaller boats will be compelled to dump their cargo on shore and sift it there. If the "pay dirt" is as rich out there as on shore and there is no reason to put it not the operation of an ordinary dredger should not set its owners from fifty to five hundred colts a day. The most ambitious of these dredging schemes is one that has been developed by a company which has formed plans for a caribou hauling thousands of tons of submerged water during the coming season. Their principle is an immense dredge or scoop which is to be operated from the shore. It will be operated firmly on shore near to the water's edge, and an endless cable will run out to a bar which will be held in place by three big ship's anchors. To this standard will be fitted a dredge such as is used in harbor excavation. An engine placed on shore will move the dredge back and forth. While being fitted in its own weight will cause it to sink and at each trin it will bring to shore and at each sand, which will be sluiced out in an apparatus erected on the beach. It is intended to work this machinery day and night, and as it will be capable of moving twenty-four hours, the profits from OLD 90 IN THE SHADE TY-NINE ROULETTE WHEELS, TWO DICE OF COURSE IF CHET-SMITH the enterprise should be thousands of dollars a day. The individual operators will not be able to work on so large a scale, but will be satisfied to operate the enterprise from near their boats, or in the shallow water near the shore with mules or horses. Whether the amount of wealth will be great as is anticipated or not, the work will be done by the Alaskan promontory this summer will constitute the most exciting fishing enterprise ever attempted. Think of the exhilaration in watching the dredge sink in the water, for its appearance, of balancing a fortune may be within its cup, of eagerly examining the sand in search of the golden particles! With such a quest acquire the gold fever, should leave company with the fishermen, in certain chances of the frozen north. Whether at least they will have the experience of assisting in the most novel of the world has ever seen, and one that is even near—that of fishing for gold in the sea. The plan, of taking gold from the sea by dredging is by no means an impracticable one. It has been tried at various points on the Pacific coast of the United States and British Columbia, where China, frequently may be seen washing out gold at the very edge of the ocean. In these places, however, the pay dirt is too poor quality to attract the waves. This belief has been the operations. So generally has this been the case that miners have come to believe it impossible that rich deposits could exist along the cost line or under the water more than anything else kept the public from seeing first stories sent out from Cape Nome in the summer of 1838. It was believed that the stories were inspired by promoters and the transportation companies, but when the gold from the new field be- Continued on the Page.

No Shelling on Sunday, and This Beer Observance of the Day is a Blessing to the Harassed Garrison - Shells Thrown Into the Women's Camp - Sketch of Col. Benden-Powell, the Town's Defender "Mine, for instance, measures 18 feet by 15 feet and is 8 feet high with boarded oofer covered with matting and paned with large portholes for white. With three large portholes for white, it can sesemble the cabin of a yacht, and its efficacy has been thoroughly tested, as it is, the only, the shelter in the town on the island, with a 94-pound shell actually exploded-with-odors, glasses lames, or disturbing various war trophies hung on the walls inside. As an example of the curious effects of these shells and the marvellous escape recorded by the author, one went through a room of Mr. Welts adjacent house, taking a canary and cage with it through the window, and leaving them at some distance, while another took a house across the street, making mincepies, and a new dress a young lady was making, and which she had left but three minutes before. Except this misfortune of the canary, no harm was done—but, all the same tale cannot always be told. "Apropos of this wise measure, which has been the means of saving many lives, the town dogs have by now fully grasped its meaning, and whenever the bell rings, they suddenly in all quarters; so that if by chance they come to the hasty shiny tone of our trustful little friend the dogs' voices in unison cannot fail, to warn one to take shelter. "The dogs, indeed, play a great part in the siege—one belonging to the base commandant has been wounded no less than three times; another, a rough Irish man, has been wounded by roteorate regiment in all its engagement; amuses itself by running after the small Maxim shells, barking loudly and trying hard to retrieve pieces; while the resident commissioner's dog is a prudent animal, whenever she hears the alarm bell animal, she attaches it to her master's redoubt and remains there until the explosion is over. "What are even more to be feared than the monster gun's projectiles are the shells from the high velocity Krupp gun, the fire from the flash and explosion are practically simultaneous, and the poisonous little I-pounder Maxim shells, which seem to come everywhere, and are generally fired from a distance, are different in the overhead the sound resembles that of a very long cattle whip sharply cutting the air, cracked and manipulated by a masquerade of different is the slickening whir of a big gun, the thud and crash denoting where it has dealt death and destruction. At least 700 of the 64-pounder shells have been fired from the town, and it is computed in all certainty of the different kinds of destructive power from the Boer artillery have found their billets here. There is something very similar to the regular evening shell from the gun, which loaded and aimed at the sundown and fired off between 8 and 9 p. m., or even later, over a partially sleeping town, very early hour, being kept home when the Boers were out and women may be killed indiscriminately. "For this last shot wielded women and children generally wait before leaving their shelters and seeking their beds in their various houses, but sometimes, as a refinement of cruelty, it is not fired at all, and these evenings the poor things $2.40 PER YEAR. creep to bed at last with many forebodings. "A curious phase of the Boer character is the much vultured observance of the Sabbath, and on this day, by a sort of mutual agreement, neither side fired a weapon. The other side came from the laager, dressed in their Sunday best, the shops are open and do a lively trade, services go on in the little English town, and everyone is able safely to ride and walk down the town and outside on the veld't within our lines. So different is the aspect of everything that one could hardly believe it is the same town. In the afternoon, under the auspices of the C. O., sports are played and every one thoroughly enjoys himself. "Other Sundays the officers of the garrion engage in a polo match and dispense tea to their friends, and almost the polo turn ups on on the polo ground, fairly quickly. They wear a sunshine. There is no doubt that he one, but more especially to the women and children, this happy one day in the seven is an inexpressible boon and that he one kept up and their health improved by living in anticipation of this outing." The Times correspondent sends this graphic personal sketch of the man who is undoubtedly the greatest hero of his life and the English nation: "Col. Baden-Fowler, who can go in the army, with a keen appreciation of the possibilities of his career. His countenance is keen, his stature short, he features sharp and smooth. He is the greatest physical endurance and capacity, and extraordinary reticence. His reserve is unbending, and one would say, quoting a phrase of Mr. Pinero's, that fever would permeate his body. He does not tie his hands since he is tied to his office through the multitudinous care of his command, and he is chiefly happy when he can snatch the time to escape upon one of those nocious cravings, and caprices of those around him and amuse the perpetual excitement of his present existence. Outwardly, he maintains an impenetrable screen of self-control, observing with a cynical foble of the fobles and caprices of those around him, and turns to the turn of a phrase, he should betray the rigour of the self-control under which he lives. "Every passing townman regards him with curiosity not unmixed with awe. Every servant in the hotel watches him, and he, as a consequence, seldom speaks to him. He is not a man in an air of insincideriality. He seems to close every argument with a snap, as though the steel manacles of his ambition had checkmated the emotions of his instincts of the officer. He weighs in on the matter, and it suggests by his manner, as by his words, that he has considered the different effects it might conceivably have on any mind as the expression of his own feelings. He has given to Mafeking a complete and accurate curtury, to the construction of which he has brought a very practical knowledge of the conditions of the Boer warfare, of the Boers themselves, and of the men in the adjacent areas. His espionage excursions have gained for him an intimate and accurate idea of the value of the opposing forces as a mass of data by which he can immediately counteract the enemy's attacks. He has returned from the hollows in the velvet where he has kept so many anxious vigils, he lies awake hour after hour upon his camp mattress in the veranda, tracing out in his mind the various means by which he can move, which, unknown to them, he had personally watched. He is a silent man. In the noisy day he yearns for the noiseless night, in the heath, he can into the vistas of the veld, the mystic communion of tree with tree, of twilight with darkness, of land with water, of early morn with fading night, of the music of the journeying winds to speak to the soul. As he makes his way across our lines the watchful sentry strains his eyes a little more to keep the figure of the colchon before him, until the undulations of the earth, the shadows in the privacy of the night, when it is no longer a season of moonlight, when, although the stars are full, the light is dim. The breezes of the veld are warm and the fragrances of the Molepo, although, as he walks with rapid, almost running, footsteps, leaving the black blaze of the town is ard and storm are aimed to the west, an open field is clear and keen and dry, the wind of the wastes that wander forever over the monotonous sands of the desert. He goes on never faltering, bending for a moment his feet next behind some bushes, crawling upon his hands and knees. His head is low, his eyes gaze straight upon the camp in enemy; in a little he moves again, his enemy encumbers him, changes to a fresh point or startles some dozing姿 as he slips back into town. The same correspond describes the life by which the beaten sometimes get supressed of fresh beef at the Boers' expense. "Black and white alike take part in sniping, but to the native here the siege is meant in the means and opportunity of indulging in an affectionate friend character. If sniping be the rule by day, cattle raiding by night gives to the natives some profitable employment. The cattle are secured by a successful raid sometimes the head of cattle, and in the course of last week another raiding detachment looted some eighty oxen. The native enjoys the privilege of having some cattle raiding excursion to the enemy's lines, and, although the local tribe may not have proved of much value as a defense of their success at lifting the enemy, the capture which these natives have made captures a change from bone and skin to juice beef. "These night excursions are eagerly anticipated by the tribe, and almost daily the cattle seek in relation to such an object the natives who have been deputed to take part in the raid approach as nane Defective Page Ore a ee aT BR a Dore epee leer reer rere porn FFM, Be Aouierr 7 P be, if Fahy «4 Be Wey 2 A y 4 Be NG) 27 we AS ee?

Besides adding to the gaiety of na- tions, the Admiral has laid the car- toonists under heavy obligations, HAS LIVED 119 YEARS. Atcributes His Longevity to Hix Dally Mable of Sun Bathing, ‘There is one man in the land for whom age has no terrors. He is An- drew J. Thompson, aged 113, of Santa Rosa, Cal., and this interesting indi- vidual recently arrived at Weyerhau- ser, Wis., accompanied by his grand- sons, one aged 62 and the other 59, to attend the wedding of his granddaugh- ter. ‘The aged Californian is wealthy, having made a large fortune in Call- fornia gold properties in. the carly days. He is well educated, having been trained as a doctor in Edinburgh, from which clty he took his departure for the United States with several others, now all dead, in 1809. It is not stretch- ing the trutir to assert that Mr. Thompson appears about 65 years of age, writes a correspondent. He stands as straight as’ a pine, has square shoulders and his face is full and Found. His grandsons say that he Is able to run a mile in six minutes, and he himself believes that he will live another century. ‘The secret of his longevity, Mr. Thompson says, is sun bathing. 'Sino» he ceased active busl- ness 60 years ago he has never let a day pass without baring his body to the sun's rays. He says: “On my place in California I have an inclosed space where Iam free to go as naked as Cod made me without being scen by any human eye, There Is a little lake and some woodland and a rose garden, and during the time of my sunbath I Famble about through the paths as in- nocent of adornment as was Adam in the Garden of Eden. ‘The sun sinks into my old bones and gives them now lite. My skin is as brown ag an In- dian’s all over. Tt has been that way ever since I began this practice of sun bathing. For cold weather I have a Blass house at the top of my residence; comfortably fixed up, and there I take my bath through the windows when compelled so to do. “There Is m0 crankiness in my methods,” concluded the aged traveler. “It is simply giving the Lord’s own medicine a chanee to do its work, and Tean assure you that one hour of Bright sunshine pouring down on the bare human body is more Deneficial: to the health of that body than a Whole dispensary of drugs.” Avarice starves its possessor to fat- ten those who cote after; and wh are Aas ee ae ee oo wee oer ome u0i a tn mea oc ma haar (ae concn eae ae ay erent ee dap com icorn rae wh ate ee Brome Quinine, abt a ee ee aetcate i Tir APREAIs a NATIONAL AFRO-AMEIstuAN NEWSPAPER. i TE Fee OOO | [Ee Giz [-\ WORLD) fe: 2 dh ah S KC oh ola KAN ats ' r Redd SUNK J \ Ne i fp sa alli ONS cE SS eee a Ma ret eee ee HOW THE DREDGING AND TUNNELLING WILL BE DONE THIS SUMMER.

It. ts located. on the northeast arm of Belting ‘sea, at the entrance of Norton sound, and 1s the southern promontory of -a. large peninsula extending westward. tov ard Siberia, between Kotzebue and Norton sounds: Old ea captains know the place ‘well. Long before the diicovery of ‘gold there they were accustomed, to refer to Anvil Rock as one of the peculiar fcat- lures of the now famous point. ‘Those who ‘are not familiar with this particular part of Amerlean geography will be surprised to.learn that Nome City 1s 2700 miles from Seattle by the most direct route In other words, the voyage from Seattle to Nome is almost as long as that from New York to, Queenstown. ‘Tho district Yhat has been explored thus ‘tar extends from the apex of the promon- ‘ory, Cape Nome proper, about thirty miles northwestward along the coast and about twenty miles inland to the north, In the middle of this shore line, at the ‘mouth of Snake river, thé town of Nome Ip located. ‘The tundra slopes gently upward trom the Beuch to the base of the mountatns, where ft reaches an elevation of one hun: red and fifty to two hundred feet. None ‘of the mountains is more than three thou Sand fect high. Near the mountains the Sravel of the tundra is often coarse, car tying bowldets of considerable size, but ‘along the beach they have been. reduced to fine gravel and sand by wave action It is In’ this reduced material that the each gold is found. ‘A range of unnamed mountains extend parallel with the coast, and the foot hills of these mountains run down to ‘within four or five miles of the shore line. “Between the baso of the mountains and the sgndy beach les a strip of land known as the tundra—a Russian word signifying a marshy plain oF steppe. I n'a dreary, desolate stretch, Not a tre or @ shrub grows on it, and the only Vegetation It supports I the’ moss tha covers the marine gravel. During the summer months ft ls wet and boggy. A few ponds dot Its surface, and the Shake Nome and Cripple rivers flow through tt ‘Back in the hills are numerous ereeks and in the gulches of these reeks rie ‘gold deposits have been found. Numerous claims have been staked on Anvil an Glacler creeks, and. prospecting 1s golem fon along most of the others. In fact these crébks wero prospected Before. th gold in the beach ands was discovered ‘The first prospectors passed directly ove what may prove to be the richest place ‘mines In the world, not thinking It wort while to look for gold beneath the wav Washed atroten of sand. ‘The first discovery. of gold tn th ulches back of Cape Nom was made the surmmer of 1898." It was a year later im July, 1800, that the fret’ gold. ‘wa ‘washed from the beach sands, and th Giscovery at that Ume was almost a aceldent, according to the account of 1 Senerally accepted in the mining country ‘Ono of the miners, an old ‘Klondiker wan Ill with the scurvy, and so was on able to go out to the guiches to work One day, folowing the natura impulse 0 Ile eraft, he ool his pan, and wandering from his ragged tent dowa to the shore he Began to wash out the sand. His sur prise was great at finding traces of gold He washed another pan and yet another each time with better resulta as he du more deeply Into the sand. Some pros Doctors passing by Taughingly asked: the ld’ man what he was Woking for ‘im looking for gold and I've found tt too! he exeltedly replied, ‘Within a week work had been abandoned fon halt the guleh lata, and ‘on th others men could not be had to work for $2 an hour. Everybody was. out along {he ouch washing gold. on hls own ac count. ‘Tho old man who owed Ms dis covery to an attack of scurvy was one ‘of the frst to have his fortune made by the “ruby sand” of Nome. He recovered fom the scurvy. While the most apéctaculay of the re- taarkable mining operations “which wil be carried ‘on at Cape Nome during the appioaching season will, be those’ em: loved in obtaining’ ore from beneath the waves, the Inland. deposita, will not. be hoglected.” The. beach clalms will be developed more extensively than last see: Son, and the roskers and slulceways wil be worked to thelr ful capacity throug ut the Tong days of the arctic summer Back in the billy the gulch clams will have the attention of thodsaads of tnlners, while others. pushing further tn: land than the earlier gold. seekers: have dione, will Tocate other’ thousands of claims Inthe unknown _Interlor, One company ts shipping to Nome the ma. {erlals for a rathway, which wil bo bull ‘eyoas the tundra 6 the foothills, ‘The ‘object of the rallway ts to carry tn mine tiyg machinery and. to being ore hati talken out to the shore, ayhere It ean bo loaded on. steamers returning to. the states, Stl anotner company” Is taking ‘out equipment for hydravile "mining, which Is to be put into operation in the sulehes, ‘Thus within the radius of a few malls fon the Alaskan ‘coast there wil he seen In-active operation every systaa of gold Jestrution that ever has been tied be fore, and. some that are entirely new.

Address. SATURDAY, APRIL 28 1900. We would respectfully suggest to the labor people that Dewey is not coming to Chicago as a presidential candidate, but for a short time only as a guest whom she delights to honor on account of his naval victory. Guests usually follow the program laid down by their entertainers, and if there is friction, etc., among committees they should not be embarrassed by a knowledge of it, but should be allowed to follow the, time-honored custom. At Minden, La. an Afro-American killed a white man and then committed suicide. Not satisfied that the murder had been avenged a mob of "leading white citizens" took two Afro-Americans who had nothing whatever to do with the killing and riddled them with bullets. Another proof of Caucasian superiority! Senator Morgan has carried the state of Alabama against the fierce opposition of the Bryanites. Senator Morgan is an expansionist and a thorough American, and his victory in a Southern tate possesses unusual significance. The germs of manufacturing are at work in the South. Wheat, corn, oats, barley, rye, sheep, hogs, mutton, beef, pork, bacon, hams, lard, cheese, apples, cotton, and hops, all advanced in price during March, as shown by Bradstreet's. Prosperity still seems to cling to the American farmer. Labor agitation is likely to cheapen the prices of farm products. When men are out of work they cannot afford to buy as much, or as great a variety, of food for their families as when they are at work. President McKinley's candidacy for a second term as president of the United States has been unanimously endorsed by the Workingmen's Protective Tariff League, of Pennsylvania. The American millionaire continues to contribute liberally to American educational institutions. There are times when the American millionaire is a very useful institution. War is a dreadful thing, but if ever a nation literally ached for a good thrashing, its some sick man of Europe. All respectable residents of the South Side should unite in the effort to rid that section of the disreputable class. The persecution of Kentucky Republicans by unscrupulous lawyers may be ascribed largely to the fact that there is $100,000 prize money in sight. Those persons who are so free with their sympathy might devote a little attention to the State of Texas, where the floods and Joe Bailey are rampant. The Hon. Jefferson M. Levy, Tammy Congressman, displays a lamblike innocence when he suggests that Mr. Bryan withdraw. Mr. Lentz, the Ohio Congressman with the calico lungs, has employed a press agent. As a noise producer Mr. Lentz has no peer. The professional sympathizer never gets beyond the resolution-passing and speech-making stage. Besides adding to the gaiety of nations, the Admiral has laid the cartoonists under heavy obligations. HAS LIVED 113 YEARS Attributes His Longevity to His Daily Habit of Sun Bathing. There is one man in the land for whom age has no hurries. He is Andrew J. Thompson, aged 113, of Santa Rosa, Cal., and this interesting individual recently arrived at Weyerhauer, Wis., accompanied by his grandsons, one aged 62 and the other 59, to attend the wedding of his grandmother. The aged Californian is wealthy, made a large fortune in California gold mining days. He is well educated, having been trained as a doctor in Edinburgh, from which city he took his departure for the United States with several others, now all dead, in 1809. It is not stretching the truth to assert that Mr. Thompson appears about 65 years of age, writes a correspondent. He stands as straight as a pine, has square shoulders and his face is full and round. His grandons say that he is able to walk and climb the stairs he himself believes that he will live another century. The secret of his longevity, Mr. Thompson says, is sun bathing. Since he ceased active business 60 years ago he has never let a day pass without baring his body to the sun's rays. He says: "On my place in California I have an enclosed space where I am free to go as naked as made me without being seen by any human eye. There is a little lake and wooded and a rose garden, and during the rainy months I ramble about through the path as innocent of oldenness as was Adam in the incarnation of Eden. We sink into my old bones and gives them new life. My skin is as brown as Indian's all over. It has been that way ever since I began this practice of sun bathing. For cold weather I have a glass house at the top of my residence, comfortably fixed up, and there I take care of my children when compelled to do. To the crankiness in my methods" concluded the aged traveler. "It is simply giving the Lord's own medicine a chance to do its work and I can assure you that one hour of bright sunshine pouring down on the bare human body is more beneficial to the health of that body than a whole dispensary of drugs." Avariance starves its possessor to fatten those who come after, and who are eagerly awaiting the demise of the accumulator—Greville. There lurks in the mind of man a longing for something beyond the present—Humboldt. Discretion sometimes seals one's lips. TO CURE A COLD IN ONE DAY Take A Laxative Bromine Quinine tablets.

(Continued From First Page.) gan to be put down in Seattle more than a year latter, all doubles were dispelled their dominance some of the discoveries began at once. The peculiar situation of the gold deposits at Cape Nome is explained by the nearby kan region. The name properly applies to a point projecting into the sea on the west coast of Northern Alaska. It is located on the northeast arm of Behring Sound, and is the southern promontory of a large peninsula extending westward towards Siberia between Kotzebu and Norton sounds. Old sea captains know the place where the Nome City is, there they were accustomed, to refer to Anvil Rock as one of the peculiar features of the now famous point. Those who are not familiar with this particular part of the coast may learn to learn that Nome City is 2,700 miles from Seattle by the most direct route. In other words, the voyage from Seattle to Nome is that from New York to Queenstown. The district that has been explored thus far extends from the apex of the promononthera proper, about thirty miles northwestward and about twenty miles inland to the north. In the middle of this shore line, at the mouth of the Snake river, the town of Nome is located. The tundra slopes gently upward from the beach to the base of the mountains, where it reaches an elevation of one hundred and fifty to two hundred feet. None of the mountains are sandy, and the sand feet high. Near the mountains the gravel of the tundra is often coarse, carrying boulders of considerable size, but along the beach they have been reduced to a sandy line. It is in this reduced material that the beach gold is found. A range of unnamed mountains extends parallel with the coast, and the foothills of these mountains run down to the beach. The sandy line. Between the base of the mountains and the sandy beach lies a strip of land known as the tundra—a Russian word signifying a marshy plain or steppe. It is a sandy area, and a shrub grows on it, and the only vegetation it supports is the moss that covers the marine gravel. During the summer months it is wet and boggy. A rocky outcrop and the Snake, Nome and Criple River show it. Back in the hills are numerous creeks, and in the gulches of these creeks rich gold deposits have been found. Numerous claims have been staked on Anvil and Glacier creeks, and prospecting is going fast. These creeks were prospected before gold in the beach sands was discovered. The first prospectors passed directly over what may prove to be the richest plains in the world, not thinking it worth while to look for gold beneath the wave waters. The first discovery of gold in the gulches back of Cape North was made in the summer of 1888. It was a year later, in July, 1890, that the first gold was washed from the beach sands, and the discovery at that time was almost an account according to the account of it generally being the source. One of the miners, an old Knight, was ill with the scurvy, and so was un able to go out to the gulches to work. One day, following the natural impulse of his craft, he took his pan, and wandering from his rugged tent down to the shore, he found a surprise was great at finding traces of it. He washed another pan and yet another, each time with better results as he dug more deeply into the sand. Some prospectors passing by laughingly asked the old man what he was looking for. "I'm looking for gold and I've found it too!" he excitedly replied. Within a week work had been abandoned half the guild claims, and on the other hand, the guild claims $2 an hour. Everybody was out along the beach washing gold on his own account. The old man who owed his discovery to an attack of scurvy was one of them, and he have his fortune made by the "ruby sand of Nome. He recovered from the scurvy. While the most spectacular of the remarkable mining operations which will be carried on at Cape Nome during the approaching season will be those emerald waves, the inland deposits which are neglected. The beach claims will be developed more extensively than last season, and the rockers and sluiceways will be worked to their full capacity throughout the long days of the arctic summer. The mudhills and mudchains claims have the attention of miners, while others, pushing further inland than the earlier gold seekers have done, will locate other thousands of claims in the unknown interior. One ship is shipping to Nome the materials for a construction across the tundra to the foothills. The object of the railway is to carry in mining machinery and to bring ore that is taken out to the shore, where it can be loaded on steamers returning to the states. Still another company is taking the materials for hydraulic mining, which is to be put into operation in the gulches. Thus within the radius of a few miles on the Alaskan coast there will be seen in active operation every system of gold mining be buried before, and some that are buried in the mountains the quartz breakers and the hydraulic method will be employed. Along the creeks that run down between the bills men armed with pans and picks "bunning" out the gravel of the stream. The men beaten by the sluiceway will sift the golden grains from the sand. Out at sea the eager enthusiasts, with dredges and scoops for their books, will search for the most tempting prize that ever fishermen sought. When cold weather puts an end to ordinary operation, the men are turned to the merass between the mountain and the beach, which defines even prospectors in warm weather. When it is frozen to its dephs thawing machines will be set to work. it will be cut away section by section, and the men have defied death and cold in their endeavors to draw golden sustenance from the roots of the desolate tundra itself. *Nome City* the city of a night and a day, will be the wonders of the The summer climate at the Nome beach is agreeable, the air being warm and it very comfortable. The ocean breezes making it very comfortable. The sea fresca the climate is influenced by a break in the Japan current, which skirts the southern end of Kotzebe peninsula in the long days and mild weather making the otherwise disgraceful and shading and warmth. As a summer resort, Cape Nome may possibly establish its popular, the long days and mild weather making it a desirable place and August, although at that time it is also the pest of mosquitoes, which make the inhabitants' lives a burden in all parts of Alaska.

Bringing his first hard on dawn a clared: "senator, we have got to have this place, and we must make the preside down know it. The thing to do is to go down now, right away, and insist upon it."

We smoked. He discussed current topics, and finally told us a story. It was a good one. As he finished, a message to tell Mr. McKinley that a deputy was coming to us, causing himself, the president retired, and Senator Burrows and I went out, still laughing and discussing the president's story.

Then the circumstances will allow them, each man, to draw on' his particular beast, so that in a very short space of time some ten or more beasts are unconsciously leaving the main herd. When they have drawn out of ear shot of the Boer lines they urge on their captures, running behind them, and on either side of them, they make noise 'whatever ever. As they reach the edge of approach having been watched by detached bodies of natives who, lying concocted in the veld, had taken up postion in the field, and returned of their friends, the tribes go for welcome them, and when the prizes have been inspected and report duly made to the colonel, they celebrate the event with the tribes, and upon the following day merriment reigns and for the time the siege is forbidden.

VOTE FOR CHESTER R. SMITH AND FOR THE CHARTER, WHATEVER YOU DO. * * * * The Democrats are said to have colonized a large number of illegal voters. Watch out for them on election day and don't let them vote. It is a penitentiary offense to vote illegally. C. J. Nelson will poll a larger vote in his present run for the assembly than he did two years ago, when he led the republican assembly ticket. Mr. Nelson is fortified by a splendid record in the council and an enlarged circle of acquaintance. ```markdown ``` Our first advice is, as Republicans, to vote the Republican ticket straight. But if there should be some candidate on the ticket you do not care to vote for, just let him alone and don't vote for his opponent. Whatever you do however, vote for Chester R. Smith and the chartre. As the election draws near the prospect for republican victory in the Second ward grows brighter. Alderman Knaut will be returned by a larger majority than was given him two years ago. The citizens of the ward appreciate his efforts in their interest during his term and will show their appreciation at the polls. One of the very significant things about the candidacy of Bob Smith is that he is most ardently supported by the gamblers and crooks. We do not mean that all his supporters are such, but the gamblers and crooks are giving him their support because they believe he will give them more license. Is that the kind of Mayor the good people of St. Paul want? *** Under democratic rule the taxes were enormous, but they were far from sufficient to meet running expenses, so the city had to run into debt at the rate of $1,000,000 a year. Now the republicans manage things so economically that the taxes are 25 or 30 percent lower and there is money enough to pay all bills and reduce the existing debt. See the difference? P. J. Quint, the candidate for the district east of Wabasha street, was chosen two years ago to the same position and his re-election is assured William P. Fountain, who is the Sixth ward candidate, is making a campaign which is sure to end in success in the word where he is best known. He is thoroughly reliable and competent and will make a capable official. * * * The candidacy of Harry T. Drake for the assembly commends itself to every business man of the city. He is just the kind of a man to whom the large interests of the city may be trusted with absolute confidence that he will handle them with the same degree of care and with the same degree of success that he has shown in the business world. The taxpaying voters of the city will not fail to vote for Mr. Drake. *** August Fitzter is proving himself as a good campaigner when his own interests are at stake, as he has been for these many years in the interest of Republican candidates and Republican principles generally. Few men have a wider acquaintance than the Republican candidate for the city treasurership or are held in higher regard by their friends. Mr. Fitzter has entered into this contest with the same earnestness that has always characterized his efforts in politics, and is making votes every day, not only for himself, but for the ticket from top to bottom. * * * The approaching election finds the Republican committee and candidates working in thorough harmony with each other, and everything in excellent shape for the round-up May 1. Every man on the ticket is hustling for the whole ticket as well as for himself, and the most encouraging reports are received daily and nightly from the different wards. Chester R. Smith is increasing the size of his majority with every day of his campaign, gaining votes as fast as he gains friends and acquaintances throughout the city. As the voters meet him face to face they realize that he is a straightforward, frank business man, who has nothing in his personal or business record to conceal, while he has the prestige of success in his previous undertakings. *** The local Republican campaign will be brought to a close this evening by a general mass meeting for the entire city at the Auditorium. The occasion will be marked not only by the presence and the eloquence of the best local speakers, but Captain S. R. Van Sant, of Winona, J. Adam Bede, the sage of Pine City, and Hon. W. H. Grimshaw, of Minneapolis, will tell the Republicans of St. Paul how closely the local campaign and the prospects for the appalling elections are being swatched by the Republican of the large. While they will not assume to discuss closely the local issues of this campaign, they will bring greetings and best wishes from the party generally. The election has a wider significance than is perhaps felt by many of the Republicans of St. Paul. A victory next Tuesday will be a renewed inspiration for the Republicans of the State and add to the enthusiasm with which they are planning the larger campaign in the fall. And it will not be without a similar effect upon the national organization. General Moses E. Clapp, who presided at the first rally of the campaign, the convention which nominated Chester Smith, will also preside at this closing gathering of general importance, Hon. E. G. Rogers, Hon. H. F. Steven C. Hon. D. F. Reese Congressman F. C. Hon. M. A. Kriefer Fred C. Schiffman, Hon. the rpgameas as well as Chester R. Smith, Captain J. I. McCarthy and August J. Fitzter, the candidates on the general ticket. The campaign quartette will have some new songs for the occasion and their vocal efforts will be reinforced by a full band—of union musicians. The occasion will be one which may be participated in with pleasure and M. B. CHESTER R. SMITH.

Republican Candidate for Justice of Peace Republican Candidate for Justice of Peace Charles H. Hoff is a young republican and a lawyer whom the people will elect justice of the peace east of Wabasha. He has earned the favorable opinion of all his associates in the law business by uniting, painstaking, and careful that disposition into his official duties should not be forgotten that the justices of the city, two of them, are voted for all over the city, every voter having a right to choose two. Mr. Hoff is a resident of the First ward and was educated in the public schools of the city. He is everybody's friend, and everybody ought to vote for him. CHARLES J. NELSON Republican Candidate for the Assembly Republican candidate for the Assembly Charles J. Nelson, who is a candidate for re-election to the Assembly, very acceptably. He was elected by the majority of one on the ticket two years ago. He has resided in this city for more than CHARLES J. NELSON. thirty years, and as manager of the Minnesota laundry has built up a magnificent business. He is popular with all classes, and, especially the business element, on account of the conservative position he has always taken upon all questions of vital interest to the city at large. He is a friend of the laboring man, including, of course the Afro-American, and he ever stands ready to help him in his internecere whenever and wherever he can. We can do nothing better than to give him our support and get our friends to do likewise. HARRY T. DRAKE Republican Candidate for the Ass mby Harry T.
