Alaska Mining Notes.

The Alaska Mining Record. pub.
lished at Juneau, in its latest issue
has the following items brought out by
recent arrivals from the interior:
Messrs. ]. d. Douglass and d. Bowie.
who left Fort Yukon in December, are
the latest arrivals from the interior.
These gentlemen made short STAY at
Dawson City, leaving that place in
January. They bring the latest news
from the gold fields. and while nothing
startling. has occurred, they report a
steady prosperity at the diggings, and
anticipate that the spring cleanup will
aggregate sum not less than $15, 900. !.
600. As Mr.. Boyle puts it, the weld
last year was somewhat more than 3D.
600, 900; at least ~ times the number
OF men are working this winter and the
output the coming spring cannot be less
than the sum named, after making all
allowances and observing all due con-
servatism in making the estimate.
Almost every claim being worked in
the Klondike district is turning out
fully as we'll as was Anticipated.
Hunker creek in particular is MAKING
rich returns, while Eldorado, Bonanza.
Sulphur and Dominion creeks are
holding their own.
Dawson City is reported quite and
orderly, with little to break the winter
and monotony. The dancehouses and
gambling places furnish the only excite
ment.
The opinion prevails in Dawson that
the regulation providing for the collec.
tion of royalties will fail of enforce
ment, the idea being based upon the
fact that in the annual licenses issued
to miners no mention is made of the
royalty regulation. This position.
however, is regarded by many as unten-
able and there is little doubt but the
miner will be promptly mulcted in the
10 per cent royalty which the regulation
imposes.
A reduction in wages to 81 an hour
has been made by the holders of some
OF the richest claims, notably the Berry
brothers, but most employers still paw
VI. 90 an hour for labor. As there are
altogether too many people in the
kiondike district even now and MANY
more at various points this side who
VIII eventually reach Dawson it is more
than probable that general cut in
wages will be made before long.

Special Train for a Bottle.

All sorts of special trains have been
run over Kansas railroads, but ti,.
oldest one yet is reported from Tort
Scott, says the Kansas City Journal.
1t ran from Parsons to Appleton City,
NO., and consisted of one car and a
locomotive. On one of the seats of the
car. under the watchful eye of the
brakeman, rested a small bottle, and it
was to convey the bottle that the spe-
ciai train was run. A doctor at APP
pleton City had broken his leg, and
lockjaw followed. A certain kind of
medicine was needed which could not
be procured nearer than Parsons, 100
miles away, and the special train was
called to go in quest OF it. The run
was made at a faster rate than mile a
minute.

Dig down to the cause of your
sickness, if you want to get we'll and
stay well. Most likely it's indiges-
ton. The irritating poisons of fer
menting, putrid food, left in the
stomach by indigestion, cause head
ache, neuralgia, nervousness, dizzi-
ness, stomach ache, nausea, irrita-
bility, and all other well-known
symptoms of indigestion.
They also cause many pains and
disorders which are often laid to
other causes and hence are not cas-.
lily cured. But as soon as the poi.
sons are removed. all these symp.
tons and disorders disappear, be-
cause there is nothing left to cause
them. Nothing succeeds in this
like Shaker Digestive Cordial, be-
cause it prevents the undigested
food from fermerting in the stom-
ach and helps the stomach to digest
its food.

Willie Virgins Won His Bet In Spite of
Consequences.
Willie Virgins and his chum, Tommy
Tompkins, were sitting together on the
curbing down the street the other day,
when Mrs. Virgins came to the front door
and glanced up and down the street as If
looking for some one. Presently she spied
the object of her search and called out:
willie, want you"
She then re-entered the house and busted
herself about her household duties.
A minute later Mrs. Tompkins put her
head out of a window half block away
and yelled at the top of her voice.

Both boys remained motionless Neither

Five minutes passed away, when both

Neither the pleading voice of Mrs Wig

seemed to have any effect on the two boys,
and they both remained silent and motion
less as their respective mothers again dis
appeared. About two minutes later Willie
put in his appearance.

1t was evidently his first experience on
railroad train, and he was as full of ex-
uberance and excitement as a small boy on
circus day. He started to walk down the
aisle just as the express struck pretty
sharp curve, and the sudden swerve car
ried him off his feet and tumbled him into
seat on top of a Clergyman who had been
trying to enjoy cat nap between stations.
The rural traveller extricated himself as
soon as possible and, without any apology
to the minister, began swearing with vol
utility which proved him an expert in
profanity. The clergyman bore this for
awhile in silence and then, touching the
farmers elbow, quietly said: "Stop, my
friend DO you know where you are go-

and your immortal soul are bound straight
