it to San Francisco He has an inter-
est i'll claim on Hunter creek and the
shaft of his mine is located in the mid
die of the floor of his cabin.
Regarding the stories of starvation,
Mr.. Pelliere says he heard more of them
when he reached civilization than he
did in Dawson. To the average miner,
he says, it seems that there was plenty
of supplies in and about Dawson. The
stores refused to part with goods to
any great amount for the reason that
they feared that some one might at
tempt to make a corner on them. No
body was figuring on case of starva-
ton during the winter months.
The greatest thing to be feared was
disease from the accumulation of filth
in and about the diggings. Mr.. Pellier
says that if the Klondike was located
in California there would be work for
thousands of men the year around, but
this is prevented in the Northwest ter
ritory by the limit of working days.

FSEt Steele District.

A strange history is that of the Fort
Steele mining district in East Koote-
nay. Thirty years ago the gold placers
Of Kicking Horse creek, Just below
Fort Steele, were known to few white
men and a lot OF Cinnamon. There
were, of course, no railroads then in
any direction and the only way there
was by packing for hundreds of miles
through the mountains and wilderness
not to speak Of lodging the Indians.
After the whites arrived regular
colony of Chinese came there for years.
The placers were very rich then and it
is believed that an immense sum was
taken from the creek, at least several
million dollars. But the place was al
most inaccessible and the few whites
there did not encourage any Alaska
rush from the outside. In fact it is
tradition that the occasional prospector
who showed up at the diCsings was
told that they did not pay and he
couldn't make cent.
The placers got into the hands of
some big companies us far back as ten
years ago, and even then, long after
the first corners had departed, these
companies were able to take ont from
$4,000 TO $4,000 a year from each of
the three principal placers.

Japan's New Currency System.

The laws for the adoption of the gold
standard in Japan took effect October
l. An imperial decree has been issued
prohibiting the circulation of silver yen
after April, 1898. Japan has reached
the gold standard by short cut. In
stead of doubling the size of the silver
yen, it practically cut the gold yen in
halves. One-half of the old gold yen is
now equal to silver yen. If all gold
using countries were to follow Japan's
style OF meeting the issue the silver
question would receive a quietus for
the present, and the worlds stock of
gold would be doubled under the new
basis of value. 1t is evident if gold
and silver are ever to circulate together
on parity with each ether under the
free coinage of both metals. gold will
have to concede something to silver
But the leading countries of the world
are not yet ready to follow the example
of Japan in the radical change it has
recently made-S. F.. Bulletin.

IT'S hard to break the tender chord,
When love has bound the heart,
IT'S hard, so hard to speak the word,
"Must we forever part?"
Dearest loved one, we have laid thee
In the peaceful graves embrace,
But thy memory will be cherished
Till we see thy heavenly face.
We miss thee from our heme, Tom,
We miss thee from thy place;
A shadow DER our life is cast,
We miss thy kind and loving face;
We miss thy kind and loving hand,
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
Call not back the dear departed,
Anchored safe where storms are DER,
On the border land we left them,
Soon to meet and part no more
Far beyond this world of changes,
Far beyond this world Of care,
We shall find our missing loved ones
In our Fathers mansion, fair.
One by one earths ties are broken,
AS we see our love decay,
And the hopes so fondly cherished,
Brighten but to pass away,
One by one our hopes grow brighter
AS we near the shining shore,
For we know, across the river,
Waits our loved one, gone before.
Jesus, while our hearts are bleeding
Der the spells that death has won,
We would at this solemn moment
Calmly say, "Thy will be done"
Though cast down we're not forsaken,
Though afflicted, not alone;
Thou didst give and Thou hast taken,
Blessed Lord, THY will be done"

As the story goes, says an exchange
a man in a neiGhboring town recently
made his wife birthday present of a
mammoth parlor lamp. She gave it
his name and, when asked to explain,
said swell, you know, dear, it has a
good deal of brass about it. 1t is hand
some to look at, requires a great deal
of attention, is sometimes unsteady on
its legs, is liable to explode when half
full, flares up occasionally, is always
out at bed time and bound to smoke"

An exchange gives this very effective
receipt for removing freckles: To re-
move freckles from the face is very
easy matter. Freckles are blotches I'M
der the skin. You should therefore re
move the outer skin of your face with
a knife and then scour the freckled
spots with white sand and I've, using a
wire brush. If any spots remain, they
should be removed with a rat-tail file.
Then replace the skin with liquid glue.

Richness of the KlondiI,c.

George Pelliere, mining expert, has
just returned to his home in San Jose,
after years sojourn in the Klondihe
district. He not only corroborates the
stories of the richness of the Klondike,
but says that the facts have not half
been told. Gold, according TO him, is
plentiful enough, but the problem that
the miners have to face is how to get it
out of the country.
Mr.. Pelliere says that in one place
there are so pounds Of Goll stored,
and the miners have no way Of getting

A gun has been about completed at
the Watervliet arsenal which will hurl
shot weighing 300 pounds through two
feet of steel armor two miles or more
away. If nothing but atmosphere i'm
pedes the course of the ball it will
strike the ground about fifteen m lies
from the gun. It will not be long in
making the fifteen miles, though the
exact time is not given. The cost of
such gun would be considerable but
for purposes of defense it would be
more effective than battleships. With
a number of such guns placed at our
principal seaports there would be less
talk than there is at present about col
Letting hundred million or so from

San Francisco has often been asked
what it would do if some morning a
war vessel or two, armed with big guns,
should appear off the Golden Gate.
Ten years ago there would have been
nothing to do but to negotiate. At
psesent we would proceed to sink them.

guns should be added to the mortars
