An Accidental Gold Find.

Apropos of the recently reported rich
gold finds in Alaska the accidental
strike on the Payette river in Idaho,
seventy-five miles from Boise City,
may be recalled. Two men named
George Bell and Dick Fraser were
GRUB staked" to go out on a pros
pecting tour. They skirmised around
for some time without striking any
thing. One day Fraser went out hunt
ing and chased a bear and a cub up
a mountain side through heavy brush.
The game escaped, and Fraser sat
down to enjoy a brief siesta before re-
turning to camp. He pushed the brush
aside, and was digging thoughtfully in
the dirt with his fingers when he
picked up a piece of rich float. He did
not know what it was, but it was a
nice specimen of something, and he
put it in his pocket. He stuck his pick
into the ground and encountered an
obstruction in the shape of a lead. Co
ing to camp, he showed the piece of
quartz to Bell, and further investiga-
ton showed the latter that it was
worth looking into. A small quantity
of rock was taken out and brought to
Boise to be assayed. It went $13S a
ton gold.-Exchange.

1t Brings Ravishing Dreams of Bliss.

From the San Francisco Call: In
Southern Arizona the Jail and prison
officials have their hands full in try
ing to prevent the smuggling into their
institutions of the seductive mari
guiana. This is a kind of loco weed
more powerful than opium. It is a
dangerous thing for the uninitiated to
handle, but those who know it's uses
say it produces more r%avishing dreams
than opium. The Mexicans mix it
with tobacco and smoke it with cigar
cites, inhaling the smoke. When used
in this way it produces a hilarious
spirit in the smoker that cannot be
equalled by any other form of dis
sipation. When smuggled inside the
prison walls the M%exicans readily pay
81 an ounce for it, but free men buy
it on the outside for fifty cents.

Cure for KIondIcitIs.

A sure cure for Klondilte gold fever
has been discovered by an American
who recently returned from Alaska.
Pick out a morning next winter" he
says, when the mercury is below
zero. shoulder a pick and go into the
woods before breakfast: dig a hole
sixteen feet deep; come back and go
to the house at night and eat a small
piece of stewed buffalo robe, and sleep
in the woodshed. Repeat the dose as
often as necessary.-Toronto Mail.
