MINING IN ALASKA.
News of the Yukon Mines by Former

Resident OF Inls county.
The following interesting mining
news is taken from the Ashland Ore

the request of George. W. Carey of
Priest River, a brother OF the man
who brought the news from Alaska.
Mr.. Marion Carey WIS forHnerlya a resi-

years, will be remembered by, many of
the early settlers, to whom the article

"Mr. Marion Carey whose arrival
here from the Yukon river mines in
the more remote part OF distant Alas
ka territory. was noted in the Tidings
week ago, left for Albany last eve
ming for a short visit at his old home
there, after which he will spend some
time with his folks here and then go
to Idaho on a visit and to secure some
hardy horses and cows which he ex-
poets to take into the Yukon river
country next spring when he returns
there. The Tidings learned some in
teresting points from Mr.. Carey re-
garding his adopted country and con-
siders them OF sufficient general inter-
est to make good reading. Mr.. Carey
is a native of Linn county, Oregon,
and after leaving home at quite an
early age spent some years in Montana
and other mining sections in the
northwest and twelve wears ago sailed
for Alaska, landing at Juneau. From
there he wandered farther into the
the interior and the last tel years OF
his continuous residence in Alaska
has been spent in the Yukon river
country. For two years past he has
been at Circle City, new camp about
200 miles from Forty Mile, which lat

prominence OF late on account OF be-

Baptism bv Women.

A curious question which has arisen in
India is, should women receive authority
to baptZe converts OF their own sexY Inc
matter Is so pressing that the Calcutta
missionary conference have discussed and
voted on 1t, with the result that all the
Scotchmen present supported the proposal.
Since DR.. Thomas Smith first suggested
the plan of ZenaDa missions. by which
Hindu and Mussulman ladies are visited,
taught and healed by missionaries of their
own sex, the number OF such ladies APP
plying for baptism By these teachers has
become considerable.
In some cases ladies of the Church or
England have baptized the converts when
on the act OF death. But the question now
Is not as to secret baptism, which all
Protestants condemn. 1t relates to women
whose husbands and guardians give their
consent to heir baptism. before the whole
household in which they are 10 continue
TO live. The proposal is that one lady In
every mission snall be commissioned 10
baplize ia such cases.-Toronto Empire.
