A LOST ALASKAN MINE.
Searching For Hidden Millions Tn the
 Dreary Yukon Country.

Dreary Yukon Country.
 Five million dollars in nuggets and an inexhaustible mine of fabulous richness will be the reward of the prospeetor who can find the lost Golden mountain in north ern Alaska. Such at least is the report current among the miners along the Yukon and it's tributaries, says aSioux City cor respondent. The story may be a myth or it may be literally true. No one seems to know for certainty, and so many liyea have been lost in the effort to establish its truth or falsity that investigators arc grow ing somewhat chary of entering on the search Mark Hamilton, a Yukon miner in 1891 and 1899, thus told the legend:
 Away back, before Alaska passed out of Russian hands, J he says, ia party start ed up the Koyokuk river, tributary of the Yukon. The members wanted to learn all they could concerning the topography of the country, it's mineral resources and the various tribes by which it was inhabit- ed. They were picking up furs, too, and looking for any little snaps on which they might stumble in tho way of Indian trad ing. Alaska was not known then, as it is now, as a gold country; still it was under stood that gold was occasionally found, and the explorers kept their eyes open for any chance sight of the precious metal. About half way up the north fork of tho Yukon they branohed off to the west and some- where between tho north fork and the Arc tic ocean, no one knows just where, eame to small mountain, tho base of which was literally honeyoombed with veins of rich gold bearing ore.
 Such at least is the story. don t vouch for its truth. It is said that $5, GOO, 000 worth of nuggets were picked up in a few weeks almost on the surface of tho ground. By this time the winter season was begin ming to set in, and the prospectors con- cluded they had better strike for the south ern settlements. Travelling was so difficult md the party so small--it numbered only six or seven--that the greater part of the treasure was cached near the camp and only enough packed for transportation to convince settlers in the south of tho rich ness of the deposits. It was expected to return the next summer with stronger party and work the lead for all it was worth.
 'sWhat became of that party after 1t left the mountain no one knows. It was never seen again. Inquiry made by the Russian authorities when the explorers failed to re- turn on schedule time developed from the Indians the story given above

"KDow him? asked one of the two men talking at the corner as he nodded toward haHdsomo old gentleman just passing by. No? We'll, sir, that's Dr. Blank, the noted surgeon I've known him ever since we used to frequent the same swimming hole Just how long that was before tho war m not going to say. He beat me in the race for the girl that he married, and if he hadn't the chances arc that the doctor would still be driving, night and day, over little back county, attending to prac- tioe that cousdn' t pay if it wanted to.
 "When they were back there in the woods and he was performing opera tions that no other member of the pro- fession had thought of undertaking, she gathered from the talk of friendly doc- tors in the same section that he was original, daring and successful. She begged him to advertise his abilities but he sternly rebuked her for asking him to transgress the ethics of the pro- fession.
 But you know how it is when a bright woman sets her head. The doctor of- flee was shabby little den without carpet, window shades, pictures or any thing else but the plainest furniture. He resisted all her efforts to change this. One evening he came home from a 36 hours stay with 6 patient to find that office so transformed in velvet car pet. tapestries and pictures that he fat ly declined te enter it. His wife was away on visit. Men had been there, done the work and disappeared. There were no bills, the home merchants knew nothing, and the doctor was so mad that he advertised everything for sale. The thing was told in the local papers as huge joke, and incidentally there were related some of the stories of how he took people apart and put them togeth- CT again. City papers copied and city doctors ridiculed. This riled Blank He proved that he had worked greater won ders than were credited to him, and he was famous.

You know how they ereak sometimes and snap little when you go down 'em first Ill the morning and some of the steps yield little under the treadf That's them settling down into placs again.
 II love to hsar em in the morning. It seems kind of like the stairs waking up and speaking to you as you go along down. But l don't like to hear 'em at night And at the time I go about they've had a chance to do considerable pulling, and no matter how velvet footed man may be he can't lessen his weight very well, and so I learned ear ly to tread near the wall or near the banisters going up stairs, and not on the bow in the middle The ereak, or the littlo soft snapping, that sounds so pleasant in the morning and that mo- body wouldn't notice then, sounds mighty loud at night, when everything IS still. If anybody was awake, you know, you could hear 1t from one end of the house to tho other. To be sure, it might not alarm anybody, because there's oth- or sounds in house at night-sounds that just make themselves, due, sup pose, to changes in temperature Boards swell and shrink and shift little, and you might hear little snap somewhere 1n the house any time of night But | always hated to hear the stairs creak when l was going up 'em, all the same, because l always thought that as likely as not it would wake up somebody, and that should find somebody sitting up in bed looking for me when I looked into the door of room, and as mat ter of fact that did sometimes happen.
 ''I looked one night, after wretched pair of stairs, into half lighted room where l saw man, sitting up in bed, over on the other side of the room, and looking plumb at the door that was standing in. As I told you, was al- ways on the lookout for just this thing, but this man surprised me, for all that He sat there in bed all keyed up, and looking square at me- I could see hfm perfectly plain, and I knew he could see me just as plain, and I expected ev- cry minute he'd find his voice and be- gin to heller.
 "But instead of that he threw the clothes back off his legs and swung his legs around out of bed and stood up. He put his right hand out to locate chair that stood by the head of the bed, and then he started for the door, hands out 6 little on each side of him, and feeling out 6 little on both sides and sort of ahead of him as he came along.

OUR VICTORIOUS KNIGHTS.

Brunswick should greet her return
ing Knights of Pythias this morning
with ovation and acclaim. They most
nobly represented their city in Savan-
nah yesterday, winning all the prizes
that they could possibly have won,
and adding greener laurels to their
crown Of excellence.
THE TIMES tells this morning the
detailed story of the day that was so
rich with glory and victory for Bruins
wick and her people. The firm con-
fidence that our citizens had in Cap
tain Newman and the Oglethorpe d.
vision and IN their ability to take the
prizes was not misplaced.
The fact that Augusta captured the
next Grand Lodge, defeating Bruins
wick, loses it's disappointing effect in
the victory won by our knights on the
field. THE TIMES, with its offer to
guarantee the money that was needed
to secure the next session, certainly
did all that was in It's power to gain
this great benefit for our city. But
when we get the earth, why complain
that we didn't get fence around it?
The Oglethorpes should be the toast
of the hour, and there should be gen.
eral turnout of citizens this morning
to welcome them home with all their
blushing honors thick upon them"

HISTORY OF A WOMAN WHO COULD NOT

Miss T. E. Osborne is the name of petite
young lady living at 126 North Seventeenth
Street, Richmond, Ind She is the daughter
of Mr.. William Osborne, one of the most
prominent horsemen in Eastern Indiana.
About five years ago, after she had been
given up as a hopeless case by numerous
physicians, had tried braces and all scien-
tifc appliances, and had been taken to the
principal baths, she began slowly to i'm
prove, and without the aid of doctors. Con-
sidering the cure a most remarkable one,
Richmond reporter sought the coy home
If Miss Osborne and obtained from her own
lips statement of her case and the cause of
her most wonderful cure.
When the reporter called, Miss Osborne
came walking lightly into the room, and in
response to a request for the story of her
case, replied:
"None of the doctors, and tried all of
them, knew what was the matter with me.
Some said / had rheumatism, while others
frankly admitted that they did not know.
was at first taken with pneumonia. One of
my feet panied me almost constantly, then
the doctors pronounced it rheumatism.
Gradually, but steadily the trouble grew
and spread until my entire body was in
volved and was utterly helpless. Then we
changed doctors. No relief came, and we
changed again. We tried nearly all of the
local physicians, and was taken away to the
baths. Nothing did me any apparent good,
and / suffered very much.
1T is now six years since l became un.
able to walk. Afterwards | grew worse and
