Ground was broken, recently, in
New York, for the construction of o
pneumatic mail service between the
city postofiice and the various sections
Of Manhattan Island and Brooklyn.
Next to rapid transit this is regarded
as tho most important local improve
ment begun recently. The work of
collecting the mail matter and convey
ing it to the central Office is now done
10y delivery wagonss BY tho new SER
vice the collectionsw will be transmitted
through tubing by carriers propelled
by the air forced into the tubes. The
carriers are six feet long and will hold
about 5000 letters each. It is estimated
that they will be able to carry 25O, 900
letters per hour, and are expected to
make the journey between the New
York and Brooklyn Office in three and
One-haH minutes.

IVORY in the Yukon Valley.

Among the miners to return from
the Klondike was John Wilkinson, of
Nanaimo, British Colombia. He
brought with him $4,000, the result
Of three months work. While Mr..
Wilkinson has laid the foundation of
a fortune, his eye has not been single
to gold He says that large and ex-
ceptionally fine specimens of ivory
were found last season solidly imbed-
ded in icy gravel. Ivory tusks Of
mastodons weighing as much as $50
pounds have been found in an excel
lent state of preservation. Piles and
piles Of bones have been taken out,
and there is every indication that dur
ing some prehistoric period large
bands of mastodons grazed over the
grent plains Of the Yukon valley. That
was during an age, no doubt, when the
country was subject to tropical inAu-
ences.
There are indications on every hand
to show that rank tropical vegetation
once covered the great frozen region
Of the northwestern part of Alaska.
While working one of these claims Mr..
Wilkinson found leg bone of a mas
todon covered with flesh. 1t was
taken from bed of ice, and was after
ward sent to the Dominion Museum
at Ottawa WASH dispatch
to Chicago Tribune.

Representative Hilborn, of Cali
fornia, is one of the best-posted men
in Congress ON the subject of gold min.
ing, having for years been interested
in the business in California. He said,
recently, to Washington Star reporter
that some time before the newspaper
stories Of the great gold discoveries in
Alaska he had been receiving letter.
from old miners, who we're friends,
telling of Che immense deposits of gold
in the Klondike country. II have no
doubt" said Judge Hilborn, chat the
Klondike discoveries viii prove the
greatest in the history of the world.
From my knowledge Of gold mining I
should think that there will be paying
quantities of the precious metal to be
found in Alaska for years to come"
Judge Hilborn does not think the
rigors Of the climate are such as
have been portrayed. He said that if
he had been at his home he would have
made a trip to the gold fields merely
for the purpose of learning the facts
for himself, aHe believes that the world
is on the eve of great revival in gold
mining. The rush to the Klondike
country and the talk of the rich
finds there will lead prospectors in
every part Of the country to begin
hunting for gold. Many of them will
be successful. All over this country
where gold has been mined in former
years new life will be taken on. In
Southern as well as in Western States
gold fields were worked in years past
and were abandoned because the
quartz did not yield enough to make
money. Under new processes quartz
which pays few dollars a ton can be
worked with profit. In Judge Hill
born's State money is being made out
of property quartz paying $3.50 a ton.
Improved electrical apparatus has
cheapened the work of getting out the
precious metal. Mines in California
which were deserted years ago are now
being reworked with success. 'Ipre.
dict" said Judge Hilborn, ''that by
1900 more gold will be mined in Cali
fornia than was taken out in the palmy
days when the State was made ia.

every day, but nothing diverted his
mind from the fact that he had been
thrown over by the girl he loved.
Charlie was attractive looking, very
slender, not very tall, with fair hair,
and a long, fair, twisted mustache.
All his life he had found hi chief Joy
among his horses and his polo ponies,
aud High-Aier was the jewel of his
stables. Until he met Kitty, heneyer
had thought it possible that anything
could take precedence Of High-ilier in
his heart.
Kitty had taken precedence in a
number of hearts. She was clothed
about as it were with a garment with
that intangible quality or gift called
style. If she had put on rags and
tatters, they would have at once
assumed an air and grace, but as her
papa was amply blessed with this
worlds goods, she was not called
upon to display her magic, and, in
stead, gloriied the pretty things that
clever people on both sides of the
world contriyed for her.
In addition to being stylish, Kitty
was pretty with quantities of soft,
dark hair, blue eyes and singularly
brilliant teeth.
Don't talk to me about Charlie
Earl! I hate him. she said to her
most intimate friend, who had essayed
to probe her heart the day after ihe
engagement was broken, and the way
she rushed into everything that came
up for the next three weeks, and
firted with every man who came near
her, and allowed Harry Gibson, who
had been in love with her for a year,
to devote himself to her, should have
convinced the most skeptical that she
cared absolutely nothing for her ex-
fance
Then the races at the Hunt Club
came off Everyone went in her best
bib and tucker, and Kitty, of
course, was there. She came
driving in to the Club grounds
in her phneton, dressed all
in black--dainty, chiG'ony, Frenchy

hat on her graceful head Beside he1
was Harry Gibson, looking inefably
happy.
Charlie Earl was to ride in two Of
the races-one for ponies, one fol
hunters-and he was respondent il
his pink coat, with a little cap t.
match, tight white trousers and blacl
boots.
Kitty bowed to him with elaborate
Indifference as he rode past on hi
pony, "Dart," to the first race, an(
she smiled scornfully with a slight,
bored expression while the race wal
being run, and when Charlie came il
far ahead of the other racers.
"Charlie does ride wellr' exclaimed
Gibson, in generous admiration.
ooh, he is rather good horseman,
t said Kitty. "What a sweet pony you
Kitty is, Mr.. Gibson. Why didn'
you ride her in the.race?"
