BEARS OF ALASKA.
The Land Is . Paradise for the Hunter Of the
Grizzly.

The Land is Paradise for the Hunter Of the
Grizzly.
To the bear hunter the wilds of
Alaska offer paradise that can be
found in no other country on the globe,
as is attested by the yearly shipments
of hides, writes Juneau correspond
ent of the Denver News. The most
chosen are those OF the black bear,
which roam the woods by hundreds.
and prime skins bring from $25 up to
as high as 800 each in the market.
During the excursion season tourists
from all parts OF the globe make Il
thriving trade for Alaska merchants
in sthe bearskin line. There are five
distinct species of the bear in Alaska
the black, brown or cinnamon and
cross, which inhabit all portions of
southeastern Alaska and the upper
portion OF the Yukon country. Fur
Their north, in the St. Elias Alps, is
the home Of grizzly which in size.
ferocity and color much resembles the
grizzlies OF the Sierra Nevadas. and
still further north. along the lower
reaches of the Yukon and the ice
fields of the Arctic Ocean. is the white
polar bear. AS brave and skillful
IN hunting bear as the Alaska In
dian is he seldom hunts the St Elias
grizzly, both because there is
little profit in the hides and the great
size and ferocity OF the beasts make
hunting them most hazardous under
taking. Their mode of killing them
is by shooting into them from heav-
lily charged smooth-bore muskct a
heavy slug OF lead, copper or iron, then
awaiting their charge, which never
fails to follow the shot, with a long,
heavy and strongly made spear, rest
ing the butt OF the weapon on the
ground and planting one foot firmly
against it. The point of the spear
rests at an angle to pierce the bear
in the breast, and the BEARS own
weight, when it strikes the spear in
its mad charge, is calculated to drive
the weapon through him or pierce him
deep enough to cause death. As will
be readily seen, if at this critical mo-
ment the hunters courage should fail
him, or by miscalculation the spear
failed to impale the charging beast,
the hunter would be knocked senseless
and Immediately torn into shreds. This
mode OF bear-hunting may have its
advantages, but only the Alaska Indian
has the courage to try the experiment

ordinary brad-awl is used to free the

The nose Is composed Of Eve bones
and the superficial parts. The bones are
two projections Of the upper Jaw. the
two nasal bones. and the special center
bone. which supports the nasal bones.
In reconstructing nose which has

all that is destroyed aud the skeleton or
five bones remain intact. Under these
conditions the rest Is easy.
But when the skeleton aud bones have
also been eaten away by disease the
greatest difficulties must be overcome.
In erecting the new nose all traces Of
the disease must frat be thoroughly
eradicated md that portion OF the face
be made absolutely healthy. To replace
the diseased bones n thoroughly healthy

snimals are nsed.

Dry Goods

a. ooOuS
Are cheap at this season, every year; this
season they are cheaper than usual. Why
Various reasons are given. It was expected
that the increased tariff would greatly ad.
vance prices; in some instances it has done
so, but other causes, as the tigLtness of the
money market, the backward season. the
excessive stocks have combined to make
prices generally lower than heretofore.
Ladies visiting Helena have remarked the
extremely low prices ruling here for desira-
BILE dry goods. Our leading dry goods es-
tabllshment, Sands Bros, "set the pace
for all competitors for public favor, and as
most of their summer purchases were Sc
cured at more advantageous prices than
could be obtained early in the season, they
have been able to present a continual
feast" of bargains to their patrons.
Their annua midsummer mark-down
sale commenced last week, and thousands
of surprised and delighted customers have
testified their appreciation by ample pur-
chaseS during the week. Beginning to-
morrow they will offer all summer goods at
greatly reduced prices. many lines will be
marked at exactly half value. Ladies who
love bargains, and what lady does not? will
be sure to make a profitable investment
this week at Sands Bros "Money saved is
money made" and a purchase made at
Sands Bros at present means a positive
saving in almost every instance.
Look at the goods shown elsewhers if you
care to spend the time, but be sure to see
Sands Bros offerings before purchasing,
and remember that Sands Bros. invite crit
ical examination and comparison, whether
you intend an Immediate lurcha . or not.
