A Woman's Mining Outfit.

From the st. Louis Republic.
An interesting phase of the Klondyke
craze is the frantic determination of many
young women to go. All the expeditions
are beseged by women applicants.
A woman who has roughed II on the
Klondyke says that her sisters who go to
the far north will need the following outfit:
One medicine case, filled on the advice OF
a good physician: two pairs of extra heavy.
all-wool blankets; one small pillow. one fur
robe. one warm shawl. one fur coat. easy
comfortable bodices and skirts knee length.
flannel lined; three pairs of knickers or
bloomers to match the dresses; three suits
of heavy. all-wool underwear; three warm
flannel night dresses. four pairs OF knitted
woolen stockings. one pair OF rubber boots:
three gingham aprons that reach from neck
to knees; small roll of flannel. for insoies.
wrapping the feet and baniages; a sewing
kit, such toilet articles as are absolutely
necessary, including some skin unguent to
protect the face from the icy cold. two light
hlouses or shirt waists for summer wear:
one oilskin blanket I'm which tn wrap her
effects, to be secured at Juneau or 81. Mi
chael; one fur cape: two pairs of fur gloves.
two pairs CT fur seal moccasns and two
pairs of wet weather moccasins.
1t is added that the female gold hunter
may safely dispense with tight lacing, as
this would retard travel over the noun
tains.
The publication of this list of things nec-
essary to a woman who would seek her for
tune on the klondyke has dampened the
ardor of seme of the would-be miners who
figure that the outfit would cost about 500.

mer at the Branch. No expense is spared
to make the event successful. The grounds
are to be beautifully Illuminated with hum
dreds Of lanterns and variously colored
electric lights. The rows Of flags and
the brilliant streamers of bunting will al
most form a canopy over the gay scene.
The second lawn party of the year at this
hotel will take place on one of the nights
of horse-show week.
The cottagers at Monmouth Beach have
given themselves up TO golf. tennis and
bicycling, ani even croquet las been re-
vived. The ladies have taken great in
terest in the games. Since the storm
ceased the superb roads up and down the
coast have been black with the crowds of
happy wheelmen and wheelwomen.

Capital in Electric Lighting.
From the Louisville Commercial.


In the electric lighting field the total
capital invested In the United States is
given as over $500, 900, 600. The number of
plants, public and private, is over 10000.
The number of motors in use is estimated
at 100000, and their value at about $780,
100000. The electrical apparatus used in
running is estimated at $1O0.OOO.0 .000 and the
value of the electrical elevator industry
will probably not fall short of $15. 100000.
The most important OF all the electric in
dustries. however. is that of electric rail-
ways. In this field the investment is very
great, and in the United States is repre-
sented by capitalization of over 500, ,O00.-
600. The number of trolley cars in use is
now over 25.0O0, and these run over 1900
miles of track. The electric railways rep
resent more than 90 per cent of all the
street and suburban railroads Of the coun-
try. y. ~
The aggregate of all the capital invested
in electric lighting, electric railways and
electric power Is about 81 500, ,OOO, 600 600.
and this does not include the value of es-
adjustments that manufacture the ma
chinery and apparatusS As7many Of these
are among the largest Industrial enter
prises in the world, and as nearly all are
concerns of considerable magnitude. 1t Is
evident that their combined capital will
run up into large figures.
