WORKING OUT THE GOLD.

sosnss and Cenditions ~ the xlohdiks
Diggings.
An interesting letter telling q tho 70
cent trip OF the steamer Excelsior to
Alaska has been written BY Captain j.
r. Higgins of the steamer to friend In
San Diego. He says;
'sThe word Klondike means deer riv-
Or and IL is called Reindeer river on the
charts. II empties into the Yukon 30
miles above the big river. Bonansa
lreek dumps into Klondike about two
miles above the Yukon. Ell Dorado is .
tributary Of the Bonanza. There arc
numerous other creeks and tributaries,
Dthe main river being 800 miles long.
The gold so far has been taken from
Bonanza and Ell Dorado. both well nam
ed, for the richness of the plaoers 10
truly marveloua El Dorado, 30 miles
long, is staked the whole length and as
far as worked has paid. As each claim
is 500 feet along the creek bed, there is
500, 900 to the claim. So uniform has
the output been that one miner who has
an interest in three claims told me that
if offered his choice he would toss up to
decide.
"Oneo of our passengers, who is taking
1000 with him, has worked 100 feet
of his ground and refused $500, 600 for
the remainder and confidently expects
to clear up $400, 900 and more. He has
in a bottle $2l2 from one pan Of dirt.
His pay dirt, while being washed, aver
aged $3.50 an hour to each man shovel
ing in. Two others of our miners who
worked their own claims cleared up
Sc, 900 from the days washing. There
is about 10 feet Of dirt above bedrock,
the pay streak averaging from to
6 feet, which is tunneled out while
the ground is frozen. OF course the
ground taken ont is thawed by building
fires, and when the thaw comes and wa
ter rushes In they set their sluices and
wash the dirt Two of our fellows
thought small bird in the hand worth
a large one in the bush and sold their
claims for $4,000, getting $4,000
down, the remainder to be paid in
monthly installments Of $40, 900 each.
The purchasers had no more than $5, 900
paid. They were 90 days thawing and
getting out dirt. Then there was no wa
ter to sluice with, but one fellow made
a rocker and in 10 days took out the
$40, 900 for the first installment So,
tunneling and rocking, they took out
$40, 900 before there was water to sluice
with.
"Of course these things read like the
story of Aladdin. but fiction is not in it
with facts at Klondike. The ground To-
Gated and prospected can be worked out
in few years, but there is still an i'm
mense territory untouched, and the la
boring man who can get there with one
years provisions will have better
chance to make q stake than in any
other part Of the world. San Diego

Newport Herald: Everything seems to
be moving in the interests OF the Ameri-
can farmer. Not only are foreign crops
light, but now comes the news that the
Australians are losing their sheep from
starvation and are slaughtering them for
their pelts as rapidly as possible, thus cut
ting of one of the important wool supplies
of the world. Australia's wool product
last year was 643, 900 pounds, or nearly
three times that of the United States.

publicly brought against President An
drews that we know of is that he failed to
make friends of the mammon of unrighte-
business for himself or the university.
Taunton Herald: Several of the big de-
partment stores in London have added un-
dertakers to their establishments. They
furnish coffins and other funeral supplies,
hearses, carriages, and funeral directors

probably claim to be wide awake in spite
of a part of their business being dead.

THE NEW UNIVERSITY.

The last edition of the Cosmopolitan
Magazine announced the purpose and
scope of new university, the presidency
of which has been offered to and accepted
by DR.. E. Benjamin Andrews, now OF
Brown. The idea of the institution says
the New York Journal, grew out of the
discussion of the educational problem now
being carried on In the Cosmopolitan, and
the inquiries that had been made - to
what was to be done for the millions who
desire university training, but who have
not the time nor means for 1t.
Following out the suggestions thus
made, said the Cosmopolitan's announce
ment, the question presented itself seri-
ousIy a. to why should our scheme Of
education be based upon the student Civ
ing up his entire time to study? Why
should not provision be made for a lib
eral education for the many who, while
forced to work, are vet willing and anx-
ious to study and require only wise direc-
ton?
Impressed with these views, the matter
was carefully gone over. subsequently the
outline of a plan was submitted to several
gentlemen of experience and wisdom, and
received their cordial approval as likely to
be of the widest public service. Still later
the subject was advanced to the stage of
considering the question of ways and
means.
In brief, the plan is to place at the head
OF the organization an educational mind
of the first ability, who will meet the
problems to be solved under the conditions
prevailing In this year 1897. The Presi-
dent will be aided by an advisory board Of
ten, drawn, 30 far as may be possible,
from the most advanced minds of the
country.
The success Of the Chautauqua idea has
proved the existence of demand for faci-
lities for home education, and the readi-
ness of people of slender means to pay
trihe and to give up some little time In re-
turn for suggestions for home study. The
Cosmopolitan University, as Messrs. Bris-
ben, Walker and Andrews will call their
institution, goes even beyond the Chau-
tauqua idea in the liberaIity of its plan, no
charge for the suggestions of It's faculty
being exscted. In this respect, too, 1t
differs materially from the University Ex-
tension idea, which has gained such wide
currency In the last few years, but 1t differs
even more materially in another respect.
Lately there has been grave complaint
against the forces which control and DOM
mate university teaching. The election

SOME INCIDENTS OF HIS LIFE and HARD.
SHIPS In THE LATE WAR,
From, the Gazette, MedlUay, Mass.

The thriving town of Midway, Mass, has
no more reputable citizen than Capt. J John P
L. Grant, the carpenter and builder. For
months he was a sufferer from wrecked d.
gestion, loss of memory and the keenest of
rheumatic pains arising from | life of ambi-
uouS labor and arduouS exposure as an officer
in the late war, and later as U. S. mail carrier.
A representative of this paper called on
Capt. Grant for his story. He met the news
paper man cheerily, and in his own honest,
simple language, said:
Il was born in South Berwick, Me-, Dec.
so, 1884, and when two years old, moved
with my parents to Old York, Me. When
Is years old | was apprenticed to a promi-
nent builder, Samuel Colcord, of Exeter, n.
H, TO learn the carpenters trade with the
added privilege of attending Phillips Acad-
emy, then as now famous seat of learning.
I graduated from there and went to Portland,
Me-, where | served two years with Hon.
VIM. G. Kimball, a noted builder of the time.
81 worked in NewburypOrt two years and
then established myself in business in West
Amesbury. During this period l was mar
ried at Charlestown. In 1862 | removed to
York where | enlisted in the U. S. service.
| served nearly three years, participated in
forty-three battles, some of them the hottest
fights of the war, was twice wounded and for
time disabled, and at last was discharged
at Augusta, Me-. in 1866.

to Midway in March, 1887, where I have
since resided, in business as a carpenter and
builder. I have raised family of ten child
rem, and have now a family of six residing
with me.

attacked with dry spells protracted in dur
alton and more frequent as the weeks went by
With these attacks came incessant vomiting
and spasms of coma so that instantly I would

fall wherever I might be and remain so for
some time.
Soon Twas forced to keep in bed my
digestion was wrecked, my business was going
to pieces and everything looked very dark.
OF course | tried all kinds of remedies that
were recommended but to no avail, and | also
went to a Medical Institute in Boston, but all
my expenditure was fruitless.
Finally l secured box of Dr.Williams'
Pink Pills for Pale People, and received so
great relief from them that my family and
myself could see the direct benefits.
L kept on with their use and steadily
grew better. The dizzy stacks leSsened and
at last left me, the vomiting has entirely ceased
and my general health has not yet stopped its
improvement. Ny digestion is now good and
TO no other agency than TO DR.. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People can my cure be ascribed.

with chronic rheumatism but this was relieved
by taking these pills. 1t is one of the greatest
remedies ever used by anybody and every

braided. with white silk bodice and
collar of white chiffon ruching. Deli
cate white roses were the flowers worn.
Miss Gertrude Schall, bridesmaid, also
appeared in a suit of brown broadcloth,
richly braided, plain bodice. She

his best man, Chas. LaBreche were
dressed in conventional black.
After the ceremony the bridal COM
pany drove to the home of j. D..

to a sumptuous wedding dinner. A
congratulatory afternoon was spent and
then an evening meal Of delicacies
| followed. At eight o'clock p. m. a

Miss Cordelia LaBreche is a Grand

so well known to all our citizens as a
lady of true character and untiring
thrift that no words are necessary here
in her behalf The past years during
which she has acted as housekeeper for
father and brothers has fitted he1 most
admirably to preside as mistress in a
| happy home, and we take occasion to
congratulate the groom upon his choice
Of helpmate.
