Charles II. lsham, Deputy Collector o.
Customs of Alaska, who was assigned as
census agent, to the duty OF preparing sta
tistical data OF the Territory, arrived a. Port
Townsend, Washington, from Sitka tho other
day, and gave out some information con-
cerning the resources OF Alaska which has
not been published before. He estimates the
annual gold product at about 81 ,000, 900.
Miners who ascend the Yukon River in the
spring usually return with from $4,000 to
10000 in gold dust, AMI about 600, 900 in
gold is taken out annually by the Treadwell
mines. For the year ending June 80, 1893,
lis vessels entered from foreign ports. and
ITO cleared coastwise vessels eighty-fve
and eighty-nlne. In the district there are
nfty-ave vessels documented. The value OF
domestic exports TO foreign countries was
S14,8l1, and foreign goods exported to
foreign countries, 5000, making total OF
1881. The valuation OF the imports for
the same time was about 100000 The GUS
toms receipts from all sources amounted to
Sl1, ,769.54, but the expenses OF collection
were Sl9,i1926.
In the customs district OF Alaska there are

There was one hymn of which Par
son Black was especially fond, and
which so accurately expressed his
sentiments that he made use OF IL on
all possible occasions. One of
these was the funeral of his most
prominent deacon, who, though act
i've in the affairs OF the church, had,
in the business world, a reputation
for sharpness and closeness that was
not wholly cnviable.
The services were drawing to a
close. Parson Black rose slowly from

Where Pearls Are Found.

Pearls are found in the shells Of
many kinds of mollusks. They occur
in the common edible oyster, but are
not of value. Very large white onei
are occasionally obtained from tn,
giant clam, which is the biggest know
bivalve, but they are not worth much
They are always symmetrical and o.
some beauty, having faint but pleas
ing sheen when looked ut sideways
The shells Of the giant clam are occa
sionally used for baptismal fonts il
churches. The animal is found, buried
up to the lips. hinge downward, il
coral reefs. Men have lost their live
by stepping between the open valves
which closed immediately upon tn,
foot, holding them until they drowned

color are sometimes obtained from tn,
pearly nautilus. But the natives o.

These mollusks have yielded grea
numbers of valuable gems in thi
country, so that attempts have beer
made to establish pearl fishing ON {,
commercial basis in some rivers.
The chief sources of supply O

FOSSILS AT THE FAIR.

fOSbILS AT THE FAIR.
There nre all forms of fossils ranged In
rows OF cabinets and cases In the south gal
lery OF the Enthropological Building. The
evolution of the first form of life to its per-
fection-man-is laid out and traced In order,
according to the lore OF paleontologists. In
the Ward collection. Cabinets of crusta-
ceans, trilobites. crinoids do not alone mo-
nopolize the space OF the exhibit IN paleon-
tology. There are all sorts of things OF all
the geological ages from the first TO the
latest before our own, from the Laurentian
to the quaternary. There are reproductions
OF the forms OF giant reptiles, mastodons and
models OF the huge beasts OF prehistoric
times. To the mind ofthe paleontoloyist the
term antediluvian does not convey the i'm
precision OF great antiquity. He deals with
things' of the age when the earth was u shape
less, molten mass, Of the age when II first
began TO cool SO that existence was made
possible upon it.
Properly the Ward collection has its begin
ming In the north end OF the row OF cabinets
which adorn the east wall OF the south gal
lery. Over the first division OF fossils is the
label ''Laurentian," which signifies the first
OF the geological ages. In this age, accord
ing to the erudition OF paleontologists, the
molten mass first assumed shape and had
cooled SO that 1t had crust. With the
gradual coating and the forming OF the crust
animal life developed. Whether In the Lau-
rentian age there was animal life there Is still
bone OF contention, but certain 1t is that
there was in the succeeding age called the
Cambrian. Then the lowest order OF animal
life found form. The coral sponges, crusta-
ceans and trilobites were the first things that
had existence. The fossils OF these things
which have place In the collection were
found, some In France, some near Beauhar-
nais, Canada, and some near Braintree,
Mass. The fossils peculiar 10 the various
ages are taken from the strata OF that age.
