fact, more people, byE 30 per cent, are

here are famine and plague in the re-

Awful things Of many a kind seem to
be more conspicuous than anything else
in the newspaper columns
And yet this is our same old world, or
the whole probably running as smoothly
as it ever did since it first began to con-
geal into solid ball.
Unrecorded and unnumbered thousands
are living IN peace security and content

in the JOY of home and the placidity of
daily occupation.
The newspapers report and all the world
talks about the exceptional things chiefly.
The more unusual the things are the big
ger show they make in the newspapers
and the more interest and attention they
command.
And il is because all these horrors are
abnormal that we hear so much about
them. They are not everyday features of
everyday life. The world is not yet going
TO the dogs by long shot. Life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness continue To
predomiuate. The verv fact that so much

social Generalization to alarm u.s.
There is no reason to fear or to become

LOST ALASKA MINE.

Five million dollars in nuggets and an
inexhaustible mine of fabulous richness
will be the reward of the prospector who
can find the lost golden mountain in
northern Alaska. Such, at least is the re-
port current among tho miners along tho
Yukon and its tributaries. says a Sioux
City correspondents The story may De q
myth or IL may be literally true. No one
seems to know for certainty, ana so
many lives have been lost in the effort tn
establish its truth or falsity that investi
gators are growing somewhat chary OF
entering on the search. Mark Hamilton,
Yukon miner in 1901 and 1892 thus told
the legend:
Away back. before Alaska passed out
of Russian hands" he SAYS "a party
started up the koyokuk river, a tributary
of the Yukon. The members wanted to
learn all they could concerning the topo-
giaphy Of the country, its inincr3l re-
sources and the various tribes by which it
was inhabited. They were picking up
furs too, and looking for any little snaps
ON which they might stumble In the way
of Indian trading. Alaska was not known
then. as it is now, as gold country :;
still il was understood that goid WAS oc-
casionally found and the explorers kept
their eyes open for any chance sight of the
precious metal. A bout half way up tho
north fork of tho Yukon tboy branched
off to the west and somewhere between
the north and the Arctic ocean, no ono
knows just where, came to small noun
tain, the base of which was literally
honeycombed with veins of bright gold
bearing ore.
"Such at least is the story. I don't
vouch for its truth. IL is said that
81, coo 600 worth of nuggets were picked
up in a fow weeks almost on tho surface
of the ground. by this time, the winter
season WAS beginning to sot in, and the
prospectors concluded thoy had better
strike for tho southern settlements.
Travelling was so d flicult and the party
so small-it numbered only six or seven
tnat the greater part Of the treasure was
cached near the camp and only enough
packed for transportation to convince
settlers in the south OF the richness of the
deposits 1t was expected TO return the
next summer with n stronger party and
work the lead Tor all it was worth.
"What became Of that party after ii left
the mountain no one knows. 1t was
mover seen again. Inquiry made by the
Russian authorities when tho explorers
failed to return on schedule time develop
cd from the Indians the story given
above.

MAKING BOOKS.
