ALASKA has developed an unexpecte d
store Of precious minerals in the last
few years, and just at present miners are
specializing as to the quantity of plati
mum that might be found in that terri
tory and worked with profit, says the
New York Sun. For years it has been
known that platinum exists in Alaska,
and traces of it have been found on the
banks of the Yukon river, but it is only
of recent date that the miners have given
the matter any serious thought. This
neglect seems strange when one con
siders that platinum is worth from $3.50
to $3.50 an ounce. 1t is estimated that
the United States imports about 5000
pounds of platinum a year from Russia.
The metal is used chiefly in the manu-
facture of jewelry, chemical apparatus
and incandescent electric lights. There
has been of late years an increased de-
mand for the metal and a corresponding
increase in the price. If the platinum
deposits in the Yukon valley in Alaska
approach anywhere near the expecta-
tions Of the prospectors it is possible
that they may prove as valuable as the
gold mines in Alaska.

To DiscinlaS.

L. S. Bottenfield of Fargo, sends the
TRIBUNE a circular addressed to Dis
clples of Christ in North Dakota, as fol-
lows:
DEAR BRETHREN; You have doubtless
been praying for the time when the pure
gospel should be preached in North Da-
kota. That time has come. The home mis-
sionary board has kindly sent us one of
their general evangelists, Brother Vernon
j. Rose OF Kansas. who has just closed a
four weeks meeting at Casselton with
good results, and began another at Fargo
August 8.
We have organized churches at Fargo,
Cando and Casselton, and little bodies of
disciples who meet regularly at Lisbon,
Beaulieu, Valley City, and perhaps other
places.
Now is an opportune time to begin active
work for the evangelization Of the state
1t is thought advisable to call a general
convention of disciples, to convene at
Fargo, August %, "a and 25, to organize
the work and to devise means and methods
for carrying it forward. Brother j.. II.
Hardin, secretary OF the board, will be
present. The church at Fargo will enter
tain all who come. Let all the disciples of
North Dakota, whether organized or not
be represented at this convention. and let
the Lords work for the restoration of
primitive Christianity and the consequent
union of all Christians upon the Bible be
undertaken and pushed forward to the
success it has attained in other states.

shaft of keen and clear logic, and the
poor old thing has been dragged off to
its corner, bleeding, breathless and unfit
to appear in the ring another round. On
the other hand, Brother Harvey comes
to the front with absolute proof that the
crime Of 1873 was a crime OF the foulest
ghastliest, wickedest and most %despicable
description conceived in greed and
Matched out in iniquity. He has also
%provenithe damning horror which ensues
from a single gold standard, and he has
swatted Mr.. Horn with the blunt edge
of a few thousand facts, until the latter
is bruised and sore, and faint with the
injuries he has received. Altogether it
is overcoming to discover how many
propositions, exactly opposite, have been
proven by the same tables of figures and
the same relations of facts. And the
mass of the public is perhaps, if the
thing is possible, more completely con-
fused and befuddled than it was before
the debate begun.

robbery, or rather an attempt, followed
the burial Of the late Annie Plummer.
Thursday the grave was found open and
the tops Of the box and the coffin off. It
is evident that it had remained in that
condition all day, and that the thieves
had been frightened away before COM
pleting their work on the previous night
The grave was properly repaired last
evening, and John Mott and James Egan
placed to watch it. During the middle
of the night a man appeared through the
wheat, and the shrill voice of Egan call
ing out: Halt! who goes there?" caused
the appearance-followed by the disap-
pearance-of three men. Several shots
were fred after them, but only blood
stains remained in their path.

FROM the official conclusions which
have been drawn by the principals in
the Horr-H Harvey debate, it is plainly
evident that some vast and encompass
ing truths have been demonstrated on
both sides. So far as Mr.. Horn is con-
cerned, he has riddled the fallacies set
forth by Mr.. Harvey, exploded the
erroneous theories which have been pro-
mulgated, punctured the gauzy bubbles
which have foated from Mr.. Harvey's
lips, and proven to his own satisfaction
that Mr.. Harvey's statements are one
mass of mistakes, falsifications, misre-
presentations and errors. The free sill
yer idea has been impaled by him on the

the furious gusts of wind that sent the
rain dashing against the window seemed
to deepen the effect.

him.

"Impossibler'
why so? How can you or I tell what
goes on in the bed of the ocean? 1t is a
sealed book to us. We are told there are
hills and valleys there. just the same as on
land. How do we know what forces are at
work in these submarine tracts? In South
America and other parts an earthquake
will change the whole face of a district in
half an hour. If such an alteration can
take place on land, who dare venture to
say it cannot occur at the bottom Of the
sea-"
II should be slow to believe it," said the
surveyor.
Look at the Pacific" continued Capt
George, who appeared strangely Interested
in this question. There you will find that
not only a rock. but whole island, will
come to the surface in a single week. II

likely 1t will have vanished. What is to
prevent a thing of this kind happening
hearer home? Why. only the other day the
hull of a brig which had been burnt at sea
fifty years ago was thrown up off the
Farce Islands and lowed into Galveston
harbor. How do you account for that?"
The question led to a pretty lively dis
cussion, and it was O'Clock before the
party broke up. BY that time the rain had
ceased, and the wind was dying down.
Capt. George asked for a lantern to signal
the Wanderer to send boat on shore.
Come on board with me, Lawrenceson,"
he said, as he was leaving. Il want to
have a chat with you about this matter

Cergymen today need big hearts and sounl
nerves to accomplish all the good they intend.
1t isn't merely the fact of preaching once
week that makes the life of the minister of today
So wearing on nerves aud brain. Their every day
labor is u round of exacting duties that tax heavily
their nervous strength.
The modern minister must keep up bis en-
thusiasm. his hopefulness and his genuine love Of
his work He must feel strongly, think deeply and
have confidence In his labor and In himself.
But all this taxes heart and brain to their ut
termost. 1t calls for tremendous outlay OF ner-
yGus energy seven days in the week and $50
every year. Many clergymen break down utterly
under the nervous strain.
Rev. l. z. Quimby, the well-known Boston
preacher has been saved from nervous prostration
In publication of his Sunday school he has
recently published the following open letter:

FREE LIBRARY PATRONS.
Boys and Girls From the Sums De-
light in Reading.

From the Philadelphia Times.
The free library Of Philadelphia came
into existence ten months ago under the
will Of the late George S. Pepper, who left
5000, 600 for the purpose, out of the interest
of which the present alterations in Egyp-
tian Hall are being made at a cost OF
$1,000. The city gave $4,000 for the sup
port of the library during the year 1884.
The amount was expended for running ex-
penses and the salaries Of employees.
Seven thousand people are regular men,
bers of the library, and $500 books are
taken out every week. AS no one particu-
lar class of people resorts to the Phila-
delphia library it may virtually be said to
represent every state of society in the city.
from those who go there to read because
they have nothing else to do, to men and
women who could easily afford membership
in older libraries. AS an educator the
library would fall short of its purpose IL
it excluded persons whose outward ap-
pearance was not exactly agreeable from
an aesthetic standpoint, but who are really
seeking profitable reading.
It is hard to believe that boys and girls
from twelve to fifteen years of age and
reared up in the very breath of the sIums
that existed there some years ago could
take a delight in reading Pope's transla-
sSn of ns paSs Sy the houF
relatively speaking, Rittenhouse Square
does not produce a more precocious or in
teresting set of youngsters than are to be
found at the reading tables of the coy
library, whose windows look out on the
little park which is the pride Of st. Mary's
street in summer time.
Every afternoon fifty children fresh from
school troop into the library to return their
books and get new ones. The crowd is
composed of little Italian boys and girls,
some of them with faces not too clean and
hands to correspond: bright-faced colored
lads, and smart Hebrew children-aIl in

An hour or two later was aroused by a
step on the cabin stairs. I looked up and
saw Capt. George entering the saloon. He
went straight into his own cabin, without
even glancing in my direction.
When he had changed the diving dress
for his ordinary yachting suit, he came
out into the saloon and sat down.

'We1l, Capt. George, what did you think

There was silence for minute or two,

II have brought out a quantity OF tonite
for this very purpose" he went on: 1T
is a rather powerful explosive, four times
the strength of ordinary blasting powder,
and equal to No. 1 dynamite. AS the rock
appears to be f1ssured, it will save us the
trouble of boring. The cartridges must be
incased in waterproof packing or India
rubber bags. When you have laid the
charges, we can retire to a distance, and
explode them by means of an electric cable
and battery. If we even succeed in split
ting the rock. 1t would answer our pur-
pCSe."
/ entered heartily into the scheme, for my
whole thoughts were bent upon getting rid
of the danger. Though I might have to
encounter some risk in placing the charges,
1t was a small matter compared to the ad-
VantageS that would follow II we were sue
cessful. For several days I was busily en-
gagged in inserting the powerful cartridges,
and, as had some experience of this kind
of work, laid the charges so as to give
the explosion the greatest effect possible.
At last the work was completed, the
cable laid and all in readiness for the final
moment 1t was a bright, sunny afternoon,
I remember, not much like the general run
of October days. I looked around the wide
expanse Of ocean. Not a sail was in sight.
The Wanderer had weighed anchor that
morning, and it had full steam up, ready to
depart fer home. Capt. George stood on
deck with the battery before him. He was
about to attach the ends of the cable.
"Now," he said, when it was done, pre-
pare to see the last of this mysterious
rock!"
1 kept my eyes on the spot where the
buoy still marked the position of the rock.
Suddenly column of water rose into the
air. and we heard a dull report as of dis
tant thunder. But we were little prepared
for the full result Almost instantly with
the first report-so quickly, in fact, as to
appear part of it-came the roar of a
mighty defamation that shook the yacht
from stem to stern. A vast body of water
was flung to a height of several hundred
feet and carried with it huge masses Of
rock, some Of which fell thirty or forty
yards away. 1t was grand, but appalling,
