prove the facilities for fighting fire.
The meeting was we'll attended, Mrs.
Porter occupying the chair.
1t was resolved to give a ball to raise
funds for the purpose and the ball will
be given at the opera house on We'd.
nesday evening. Tickets Will be one
dollar, aud supper 25 cents a couple, or
10 cents single person extra. The oh.
jec: is worthy one, and the ladies
should be commended for their enter
prise. and it is earnestly hoped that
they will succeed in their praise worthy
undertaking.
Let every one turn out, have a good
time, and help in the acquisition of a
thing so imperatively demanded. In
addition to the extinguishers, (or in

Albien, that the wells of the city be
put in order, and about half doz. new
ones be dug, good large ones,) about
midway OF each of the blocks most

hose sufficient to reach any part of the

up, can at least have the satisfaction of
being able to do something to beat

which is licking up and destroying
their homes and property. We are of
the opinion that it is high time the
citizens of the gem city got a move
on them in this direction.

The New Strike in the Alaskan Gold
Fields, and How to Get There.

1ne NOW 5trlke In the Alaskan Gold
Fields, and How to Get There.
Modern history records nothing so
rich in extent as the placer mines Of the
Yukon district" said ]. o. Aestwood,
one of the miners. "The ton of gold
dust which was turned into the Selby
Smelling company's Office yesterday, is
only slight indication of what is to
follow in the near future. The climatic
condition of that ice bound region is
such, however, that only the very coura-
geous should seek fortune there. Food
is scarce, distances to be trayersed are
great and the country is inhospitsble.
great many men went into the coun-
try poverty stricken last year and came
out this spring with thousands of dollars,
but that does not signify that every
chu chow ziu (newcomer) will be able to
do the same. There is room there for
5000 able bodied men, but let no one
undertake the task of getting there until
he first considers what he must bear
and undergo to reach that colorado Of
the far north, remembering that wealth
from mining in that region, as a rule, is
more accidental than otherwise. The
fields are said to be worth $70,000,-
600. Dawson City is only few months
old. The description given by the re-
turned miners make it typical mining
town, with everything but guns. Labor
ers, it is asserted, are paid as hich as
SIS day, but tho advice ic gwen that
no man can afford to 60 to the new camp
without from $500 to $1,000 with which
to support himself and insure the pos
sibility Of returning in case of adversely.
Living, of course, comes high. The
region produces little or no fruit or
vegetables. The meat Of the caribou
and moose is sometimes scarce, and
there are seasons when no salmon can
be obtained"

The announcement OF Pen
sion Commissioner 81. Clay

quarter millions of dollars in
the amount to be paid this year
for pensions appears to be very
calmly received by the party
In fact summer sigh" could
have produced no less effect in
rufling the g. o. p. composure.
Nevertheless, their democratic
friends will watch with much
interest the manner in which
this deficit will be handled by
congress. Mr.. Evans speaks OF
the sum as a mere bagatelle, az
1T were. but when the probable
failure of the Dingley tariff to
produce the amount Of revenue
estimated by its makers be-
comes a fact, there will be some
difficulty 10 the way OF appro-
priating even such a small sum
as So, 250, 900 to make up the
deficiency in the pension pay
ments. Something of the plan
formulated to meet such a con-
tingeney is disclosed in the al
legged declaration by him to the
effect that: i"If there should be
an unexpected falling off in the
revenue, the pension payments
might be curtailed towards the
end of the year"
