THE NORTHWEST MINE.
Located In Uncle Sans Possessions
Under the Midnight Sun.


Under the Midnight Sun.
There was o man in Seattle lately
who owns mine located probably
further north than any mine in the
world. He is j. G.. Green, and his
mine is called the Omalik mine. 1t is
situated on the Fish river, in the ex-
IRENE northwestern part of Alaska,
near Golovnin bay, which is about
sixty miles north of St. Michael's. To
get better idea of how far north Mr..
Green has gone in search of his treas
ure, the location of his mine is in lati-
tude sixty-tive degrees north, longitude
1874 degrees west, over 1000 miles
northwest of Sitka.
Mr.. Green got possession of his
mine in 1881, and has spent about
100000 in developing it The mine
itself is as unique as it's location, be-
ing "solid metal" The ore is galena,
seventy-five per cent of lead, carrying
143 ounces of silver to the ton and
very little gold.
Mr.. Green generally spends his
winters in California, chartering a
ship every spring to carry his years
supply of stores and the miners he
takes up with him to his northern FL
dorado. He pays his men $50 month
and board, but they do not receive
their wages until after the years work
is done and the cargo of ore they have
taken from the mine has been brought
down to San Francisco and sold. They
are then paid off and receive from
5000 to $1,000 apiece, which comes to
them in a lump, for on Golovnin bay
there are no stores, no saloons, and
no opportunity for them to spend
money if they wished to.
The natives, the Eskimos, are a
peaceable intelligent people, and are
very quick to learn the ways and Gus
toms of the Americans. Mr.. Green
employs them to work about the mines,
and finds them to be active and will
ing workers.
The climate is not so severe as one
would suppose it would be in such a
northern latitude, the summer begins
warm and pleasant and the winters
not so cold as in some ATTITUDES further
south. 1t is the land Of the midnight
sun, and the wonders of the aurora
borealis are seen in all their splendor.
There are no white people there ex-
cept the miners, who are taken
up each year, but Mr.. Green says
that one doesn't have a chance to get
lonesome, as there are fish in the
streams to catch, birds in the air to
shoot and four-footed animals of the
earth to kill.
Mr.. Green is a great enthusiast over
the resources and coming destiny of
the great northern empire of Alaska,
and says that few people have any
idea of its marvellous wealth and the
extent of its reSourceS

of such low and narrow quarters he
is not now even able to tell. But the
laughter that greeted him by the
men who stood in line under arms
will never be forgotten. On locating
the ball where it had struck the hill
we found it had glanced off, con-
tinued over the hill and knocked off
the legs of one of the men, who was
cleaning horse at that hour.
1t was narrow escape, one of
many, but not so soon forgotten.
Such forcible and effective calls were
not received with that kindly spirit
of gratitude, nor was the human inn
pulse that would hasten the sluggish
sleeper to arouse always appreciated
with that generous promptness that
would have gladdened the heart of
those early and vigilant cannoneers
of that distant fort.

A BRIGHT STAR.
A SKETCH OF THE MAN WHO,
LED MARY ANDERSON
TO FAME.
Also Played Leading Roles with Booth,
Barrett and Thorne.
[From the St. Louis Chronicle. !

From the st. Louis Chronicle.
One of the most conspicuous figures in the
Stageland of America to-day is John W..
Norton. Born in the Seventh ward of New.
York city forty-six years ago, the friends
of his youth were Thomas w. keene and
Frank Chanfrau. We find Keene star at
the age of % and Norton in the flower of
early manhood, the leading man for Edwin
Booth at the famous Winter Garden Thea
ter. He was starred with Lawrence Bar
rett early in the 70s, and alternated the
leading roles with Charles Thorne at the
Variety theater in New Orleans. Early in
the Centennial year, in Louisville, Norton
met our Mary Anderson, then a fair young
girl who aspired for stage fame, took her
under his guidance and, as everybody
knows, led her to fame Mr. Norton is now
the proprietor of the Grand Opera House in
ST. Louis, the Du Quesne Theater, Pitts
burg, and one of the stockholders in the
American Extravaganza Company.
One afternoon early in June he hobbled
into his New York Office on Broadway and
encountered his business manager, George
McManus, who had also been a rheumatic
sufferer for two years. Norton was sur
prised that McManus had discarded his
cane. "Who cured yoH?" he asked. II cured
myself" replied McManus, with DR.. Will
Jams Pink Pills"
II was encouraged by Mr.. McManus'
cure, and as a last resort tried the Pink
Pills myself" said Mr.. Norton to Chron+
icle reporter. "You have known me for five
years, and know how / have suffered. Why
during the summer of 1898 l was on my
back at the Mullanphy hospital, in this
city, four weeks. | was put on the old syS-
tenn of dieting, with view to clearing those
acidulous properties in my blood that medi-
cal theorists say lis the cause of my rheu-
matism. left the hospital feeling stronger,
but the first damp weather brought with it
those eXcruciating pains in the legs and
back. 1t was the same old trouble. After
sitting down for stretch of five minutes,
the pains screwed my legs into knot when
arose, and hobbled as painfully as ever,
After had taken my first box of Pink Pills,
it struck me that the pains were less trou7
blesome. l tried another box, and / began
almost unconsciously to have faith in the
Pink Pills. 1 improved so rapidly that
could rise after sitting at my desk for an
hour and the twinges of rheumatism that
accompanied my rising were so mild that !
scarcely noticed them. During the past
two weeks we have had much rainy
weather in st. Louis. But the dampness
has not had the slightest effect in bringing
back the rheumatism which I consider a
sufficient and reliable test of the efficacy Of
Pink Pills | may also say that the Pink
Pills have acted as a tonic on my stomach,
which l thought was well nigh destroyed
by the thousand and one alleged remedies
consumed in the past five years."

Swamp Workm en-.

The Swamp Angel the eight
inch Parrot gun, which, during the
civil war, created establishment and
some thing more in Charleston, S. c.,
by sending shell 1000 yards into the
streets of that city from battery
near Morris island, is now said to be
an ornament to drinking fountain
in Trenton, N. j. A story is told of
it's construction that may bear retell-
ing. The colonel of a New York en-
gineer regiment was ordered by GEN
eral Gilmore to prepare Judgment
for the gun in position nearly mile
out in the Carolina swamp, and to
make requisition for all needed APP
pliances. The colonel viewed the
scenery from the nearest dry land,
and sent in requisition for 200 men
thirty feet high to work in swamp
twenty feet deep. He was placed
under arrest at once by General Gill

his superior -Argonaut.

by DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
even after the disease has progressed so
far as to induce repeated blecdings from
the lungs, severe lingering cough with
copious expectoration (including tubercu-
lar matter), great loss of flesh and extreme
emaciation and weakness.
Do you doubt that hundreds OF such cases
reported to us as cured by Golden Med
ical Discovery were genuine cases of that
dread and fatal disease? You need not take
instance, been so pronounced by the best
and most experienced home physicians,
who have no interest whatever i'll mis-
representing them, and who were often
strongly prejudiced and advised against
a trial of Golden Medical Discovery"
but who have been forced to confess that
it surpasses, i'll curative power over this
fatal malady, all other medicines with
which they are acquainted. Nasty cod
liver oil and its filthy emulsions" and
mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these
cases and had either utterly failed to bene-
fit, or had only seemed to benefit little for
a short time. Extract of malt whiskey,
and various preparations of the hypophos-
phites had also been faithfully tried in vain.
The photographs of large number of
those cured of consumption, bronchitis,
lingering coughs, asthma, chronic nasal
catarrh and kindred maladies, have been
skillfully reproduced in a book of 100
pages which will be mailed to you, OIL re-
ceipt of address and six cents in stamps.
