DISCOVERIES IN ALASKA.
Schwatka's Survey Unearths Many New
Facts Concerning the Country

VICTORIA, B. c., Oct. IL, lS9l.-Lieu-
tenant Schwartka and DR.. Hayes, Of
the Geological Survey Of Washington,
D. c., give interesting details of their
Alaskan trip. Their expedition was
full Of narrow escapes and hardships,
and twice both leaders were nearly
drowned. A large number Of new
mountains We're discovered, several of
which will rank among the highest in
North America. Seven hundred and
fifty miles of totally new country
were opened up. The passage of the
range of st. Elias Mountains took five
days, and is the first record of white
men having accomplished the feat.
One magnificent peak, nearly sixteen
thousand feet high, was named Powell
Peak after Major Powell, of the geoiog-
ical survey.
DR.. Hayes has brought, magnificent
specimens of a foscilliferous crystalline
marble which resembles the famous
Tennessee marble, only much hand
somer. Whole ranges of this stone
were discovered. Many copper crys-
talline rock specimens were also brought
down. The specimens Of flora consist
mostly Of moses, over a hundred va
rieties of which were discovered. Vege-
tation was reported very scarce, the
trees being stunted and the hills COW
cred thickly with MOSES. The largest
timber met with was along the White
River and was only fourteen inches
thick.

THREE
REASONS

Has It ever occurred to you that, in
selecting a company in which to assure
your life, there are three points which,
if correctly ascertained, will determine
beyond all question the best company
for you to choose?
Here they are
F1RsT-SAFETY.
s'EcoND-CONTRACT.

I. SAFETY Cor Strength is all impor-
tant: for an insurance contract is either en-
tered into for a long period Of years or for life
II the case of an insurance company (as
with an individual OK with any other business
organization, strength is determined by the

VOLCANIC DEPOSITS.

The most remarkable feature Of the
whole trip was the deposits of volcanic
ashes met with, which spread all over
the country two or three inches thick
under one foot of earth. NearS st. Elias
it was one hundred feet thick and the
travellers sank in at every step. It
resembles fine powde1y pumice stone,
and proves that in prehistoric times
fearful eruptions must have occurred
in the St. Elias ranges.
The discoveries dissolve the theory
that great ice belt extends from st.
Elias to the Arctic circle. Schwatka
has now definitely fixed its limit as
forty miles above these ranges, the
country beyond that being in several
months Of the year quite free from ice
and snow. The warmest weather ex-
perienced during the trip was 81 de-
grees, and no frost was encountered till
Copper River was reached.
At Fort Selkirk seven men, four from
New York, and the rest from New
Hampshire, were discovered on a
small farm where all kinds of vegets-
bles were growing freely. The party
met multitudes Of carbon, moose and
bear, as well as numerous birds, but
no new kinds. From Fort Selkirk
Lieutenant Schwatka hired a band of
Indians to help them across the un-
known country to the foot of the ST..
Elias ranges. When the Indians got
in sight of the mountains they warned
the party that they would never return
alive If they attempted to cross the
ranges. When they took no heed of
the warning the Indians left them, and
the journey was made by Schwatka,
Hayes and white hunter. At the
conclusion they were nearly bare of
clothing and shoes.
The most hazardous part of the trip
was the passage through what will
now be known as the greatest canyon
IN North America. For seven miles
the party went in small canoes through
the fearful torrent. DR.. Hayes was
thrown out twice and only the narrow
ness Of the canyon saved his life. It
took less than eighteen minutes to 60
six miles.
HAD NEVER SEEN WHITE MEN.
On emerging from the canyon into
daylight they We're surrounded by
large tribe of indians, who had never
seen white men before. They found
the Indians very timid and heightened.
They We're puny in stature, but had
remarkably fine features and were in
teligent looking. They were the only
tribe found in the unexplored country
that had an unexplored habitation.
Among one wild tribe Schwatka found
a white man who had lived among
them for twenty-six years. He had
forgotten his native language and was
completely savage, but kept the In
dians from attacking the exploring |
party. He could only say few words, |
from which Schwatka gathered that |
be was Spaniard and about tifty-fve
years of age. 1t was the first time he
mad seen whites for twenty-one years.
Both HAYES and SchUatka Gesorihe
the exploration as complete success
from every standpoint. The photo:
graphs alone will form magnificent
collection. Over seven hundred were
taken.

by THE MORNING LIGHT.

Oh, glad and red, the light of morn
Across the field of battle broke
And showed the waste of trampled corn
And snouldering farmsteads wrapped In
- smoke;
And cold and stark the soldier lay,
Shot down beside his shattered gun;
And grimly splashed with blood and clay.
His face looked CHASTITY in the sun.
Oh, glad and red, the morning shone
In happy England far away,
Where knelt bright-haired little one
Beside her mothers knee to pray.
And prompting each fond faltering word,
the soldiers wife was glad and smiled;
She knew not twas a widow heard
The prattle of an orphan child.
Oh, glad and red oh, glad and red
The morning light glowed every where;
And one beam touched the father dead,
And one the child who knelt in prayer;
And from the trampled corn and clay
A skylark sprang with joyous breast,
For shot and shell had spared that day
Its four brown eggs and little nest

How Many Niles of Coast Have We |?

length of the coast line OF the United

statement of the length in statute miles
of the general seacoast of the Atlantic.
Gulf, Pacific, and Alaskan waters, and
also the coast line In statute miles of the

Condition VS.. Theory.

Those who are in ill-health are
confronted by condition; not the
ory, although there are numbers of
people ready and anxious to theorize
about it. In ninety-nine cases out of
a hundred S. S. S. will do the work
of renovation. In cases of indiges-
ton, loss Of appetite and general de-
bility, this wonderful medicine acts
with almost miraculous certainty. 1t
restores the activity OF the liver, pu-
rifles the blood and builds up the
system. AS a tonic for young and
old it is without rival Though it
is powerful in its effects, the Youngest
or the oldest can take it with the most
beneficial effects S. S. S. has behind
it a record of half century, and is
more popular as a household remedy
to-day than ever before.
