day is not far distant when the world
will recognize the value OF these
mineral resources. Besides gold
and silver, we have reason to believe
that copper, galena, plumbago and
iron exist in paying quantities. Only
two Alaska mines are accessible az
present, the switch" and "Stewart's
Tunnel" The former is being
worked by one man and his family,
by IA hand mortar, and is yielding
$40 per day. These mines require
much capital to properly develop
them. Rich silver mines, the loca-

ALASKAN FISHERIES.
There was an attempt this year for
the first time to develop the immense
and inexhausible halibut fisheries Of
Alaska. In June last the sch ,oner
Gen. Miller left San Francisco, bound
for Alaskan waters. She went out
within ten miles of Sitka, remained
on the banks about month, and
was very successful, taking about
eighty tons Of fine halibut, some Of
,heN weighing from l25 to 100 lbs
/, with two companions, within LOCO
Yards of shore, in one hour caught
over forty halibut weighing all told
nearly ton. For hook costing a
cent ! got bait enough to catch 1000
pounds of hslibut. Indeed the fish
cries up there are capable of almost
indefinite development. Salmon are
literally inexhaustible' In the Vi
cinity of the balibut banks are cod
banks, with fish equally plentiful.
The drawbacks at present to the sal
mon canning business in Alaska, as
compared with that OF the Columbia
are: 1st. That the high price OF TIN
and of freights interfere. I'd. That
the salmon in Alaska do not run un-
til about six weeks later in the sea
son than the run occurs in the Col
umbia. Sd. It is hard to introduce
new fish successfully in the markets.
Dog6sh in Alaska are very plentiful.
Among the other kinds Of fishes
there may be noted: herring, smelt,
eulachon, &c. &C., all Of which are
plentiful at different seasons. As
FUR BEARING COUNTRY,
Alaska has infinite resources. The

Curative Uses OF Charcoal,
From the Ithaca IN ~ ion, na1


Charcoal is valuable as fuel. but it has
other uses which make it one of the most
serviceable of articles When laid fiat,
while cold, on burn, it causes the pain
to abate; by leaving it on for an hour the
burn seems almost healed while the
wound is superficial.
Tainted meat, surrounded with it. is
sweetened. Strewn over heaps of de-
composed pelts or over dead animals,
charcoal prevents unpleasant odor. Foul
water is purified by it. 1t is great dis
infectant, and sweetens offensive air if
placed in shallow trays around apart
ments.
1t is so very porous that it absorbs
and condenses gases rapidly. One cubic
inch of fresh charcoal will absorb nearly
one hundred inches of gaseous ammonia.
Charcoal forms an excellant poultice fol-
malignant wounds and sores. In cases
of what is called proud flesh it is inval-
liable
1t gives no disagreeable odor, corrodes
no metal, hurts no texture, In ures nc
color, is a simple and safe sweetner and
disinfectant.
A teaspoonful of charcoal in half glass
of water often relieves n sick headache.
1t absorbs the gases and relieves the dis.
tended stomach, pressing against the
nerves which extend from the stomach
to the head.

Tell me, lump of Carbon, burning
Lurid in the glowing CRATE,
While thy flames rise twisting, turning,
Quench in me this curious yearning,
Ages past elucidate.
Tell me of the time when. waving
High above the primal world,
Thou, giant pam-troe, lifting
Thy proud head above the shifting
OF the storm clouds lightning hurled,
While the tropic sea, hot laving,
Round their roots its pillows curled
Tell me, did the Mammoth, straying
Near that mighty trunk of yours,
On the verdure stop and Craze,
Which thy ample base displays,
Or his weary limbs down laying,
Sleep away the tardy hours?
perchauce some monstrOue Saurian, sliding,
Waddled up the neighboring strand,
Or leapt into its neighboring sea
With something of agility.
Though all ungainy on the land;
While near your roots, in blood. tanned fray,
May be two Ichthyc beasts colliding,
Bit and fought their lives away
Tell me, Ancient Palm-corpse, was there
In that world of yours pTimeval
Auoht of man in perfect shape?
Was there good? and was there evil?
Was it man? or was it ape?
Tell me, lump of Carbon burning
Lurid in the golden CRATE,
Lies there in each human face
Something of the monkeys trace?
Tell me, have we lost link?
Stir thy coaly brain and think,
While the red flames rise and sink,
Ages past elucidate.
