magnificent distances. To go to the
mouth of the Yukon a large steamer,

of San Juan del Fuca, to the beautiful
Pacific. and then across the water for
1000 miles to Dutch harbor. in the
Aleutian islands, where the first stop
is made. Then the steamer proceeds
on it's way north for another stretch of
1000 miles, passing through Boring sea
and past the Seal islands. and up
through Norton Sound to Fort Get
There, on St. Michaeps island. at the
mouth of the Yukon river. Here the
PASSENGER is transferred to a river
steamer and sails so miles up the coast

then sails for over 1000 miles up that
river before reaching Circle City. a
frontier town of log houses. which has
1000 population, and is the supply point

Silver Cave in Virginia.

The people of Roanoke, Va, says an
exchange, are very much excited over the
reported discovery of a cave on Tinker
mountain, which is claimed to be very
rich IN silver ore. The discovery Is said
TO have been made by James Riley, a
hard working farmer, residing on the
mountains. He claims to have ACCIDENT
ally discovered the opening 10 the cave,
which was closed with a rock cut ex-
actly to fit it. He removed the rock and
explored the cave, and the visions OF the
shining white metal all over the room
nearly dazzled him. Besides being scat
tered all over the inside of the cave, there
was near the center a solid column of
nearly pure silver, six inches square, ex-
tending from the floor 20 the roof, speci-
mems of which have assayed 80 per cent
of pure silver. Riley took a neighbor in
to his confidence, and the wonderful
riches wtl.cIa they kell OF have set the PEG
pie of the neigiborhood wild with excite
ment. The tradition of the silver cave
has been handed down. from generation
