AROUND THE CORRIDORS.

Among the arrivals at the Grand Hotel is ex-
Governor l.. A. Sheldon of New Mexico, who in
late years has transferred his residence to
Pasadena and become thorough Californian.
The Ex-Governor is one of the bcst-known men
in the West, and one of the most adroit OF men
in politics.
1t was he who more than any one else brought
about the nomination of James A. Garfield for
the Presidency, and to this day the delegates
who attended the convention regard it as one
of the neatest pieces of political work they
have ever seen.
Governor Sheldon is native of Ohio, the
schoolmate and intimate friend of Mr.. Gar
field. he had set his heart on getting the
nomination for his friend, and he left no stone
unturned to do it.
John sherman got mad at him for it and for
other things that he supposed Sheldon did to
turn him down, but afterward found that the

To fly and shoot with roar and ring,
Till the heart of the world is stirred
With the Consecrate word
will drop my hook in the Brain-fiumes deep,
Where the mighty Mind-wheels go;
Where the Thoughts like fishes shine and leap,
And flop in my Though in heap;
Where the ThOught-whales plunge and blow,
In a Consecrate row.
Oh. bring me a ream Of sheepskins good,
Till write of the wool so free,
On tablets made of ebony wood
And worthy the great beatitude
To be grated on nobler tree,
The word Of the Consecrate Me.
Oh, ominous midst of the sacrificed duck,
OR the buefish of Buzzard's Bay,
What sign and token of Cleveland luck?
From you what word of cheer may pluckf
What breezes of Destiny play

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

THE YUKON MINEs-T. l.. NJ, Los Angeles,
CAL A person wishing to go to the Yukon
mines should make start from either this
City or from Puget Sound for Juneau, Alaska,
in either March or April. From Juneau the
traveller takes a small steamer that CONVEYS
him certain distance up the river; then from
the landing-place 1T is overland to the mines
near the neadwaters of the Yukon River. The
expense from this City to the mines is from
1925 to $3.50, which includes the cost of an
outfit. 1t is said that it is better to take pro-
visions at Juneau than to pack them from this
City. Forty-mile Creek, so named from the
fact that 1t is located at that distance from Fort
Yukon, is said to be the best mining district.

had for 81 day. Answers to Correspondents

Mr.. Reed has one advantage over his COM

eye the next few months, while comparatively
little will be heard OF Messrs. Mckinley, Harri

But in this advantage lie many obvious dan
