Anchored is what the man said
when he dropped into the Anchor
Saloon. Why? said his friend.
Because you can always get
cool refreshing drink served by
gentlemanly attendants, and if
you happen to drop in during
lunch hour you will be RECALLED
with solids as well as liquids. In
fact the lunch at the Anchor is
said by many TO be the best in
town. The celebrated Seattle
beer is on tap. 1t is sparkling
and ice cold. The finest of wines
aud liquors in town are to be had
at this popular resort.

MORTUARY STATEMENT.
Marked Falling on in the MortaIIi
for February.

According to Agent Rey-
nolds' mortuary report the death
rate in this city for last month is
the lowest in five years and less
than half Of that of the correspon-
ding month of last year. The
total deaths in this city last
month were 80, of whom 2 were
non-residents. There were 7
deaths from heart disease; convul
sions caused 5; consumption and
fever 3 each; bronchitis, exhaus-
ton, old age and suicide 2 each.
There is a marked falling off of
deaths from infantile cholera and
dyseutery. There was one death
from drowning and one from in
juries sustained by accident.
OF the 80 who died IL, or near
-ly 80 per cent, died without any
medical attention whatever, fact
which would seem to call for the
Intervention of the Coroner or the
Board of Health.

you or you catch it) we would
like chance to prescribe for you,
not that we expect to effect cure,
only to sell you a wonder in
wheels.
This is what one of the Hawaii
an College boys writes to his faith
er regarding the best wheel to buy
for his sister: 81 hold the Ramb-
Ter second to none in the country
(the U. s., and if anyone can
show a wheel which has travelled
as many miles as mine has with
as little expense as mine / would
very much like to see it. Be-
sides changing the gear from GA
to 70 and the saddle to one of later
pattern my entire expense for the
wheel has been fifty cents. That
l think is a pretty good record,
don't you? L am very much afraid
that my tires, the same ones l got
on the machine, will not last me
through the next season. They
are almost worn through all over.
1t will cost me from S12 to SIS
to get new tires put on, but it is
Legitimate wear. | never knew
pair of tires to wear as long and
as well as these have, considering
the amount of travel. When You
consider that they have travelled
rs far as from Cleveland, o., to
Honolulu, over all sorts of roads
and paths, you will see that they
must needs wear some"
The above opinion you will
find to be the opinion of about
every rider of Rambler in this
city, and there are a lot of Ramb-
Ter riders here. Our trouble has
been to get enough wheels, the
makers not realizing that we want
~ stock before the snow has
melted in their country. By the
Australia this week we received 7
ladies' v heels, and six IF them we
have sold. By the Miowera mail
we ordered 20 Ramblers and by
this weeks mail we are ordering 5
more, and we have orders in for 2
Racers, so by return Australia we
will have q Ramblers, and in fut.
ure we do not propose to lose the
sale of any wheels by not having
them on hand. Remember that
the Rambler is fitted with the only
tire that has proved entirely salts
factory in this country, the great

this tire to be found here, but if
you don't find it out when you buy
them, you will after you have used
them while, to your sorrow. The

only at the Rambler Agency, and
there you can get the right article,

or met with some mortal accident lao one would
ever have known what had become of them
For thirteen long months they searched

tens or thousands of times before. The Clipped
bit looked promising. He and Burcham aban-

L shall never feel again the thrill had the
moment we picked up the blasted chunks from
the rock. said +. NJ. Mooers in telling, about
the discovery the other day. There was pure
yellow gold sticking of the rocks in par
tcles the size of match heads. Burcham looked
at me speechless with amazement. l snatched
up other chunks from the blast. They all

said as calmly 1 could:
We'll we've struck it, All we've got to do is
to shovel the whole hill in a stamp MILL and we
shall be able to buy the Vanderbilts in a few
years."
Last June the claim to the mines was per-
fected. and the mining firm of Mooers Bur-
cham' singleton * Reddy was Incorporated. The
urn mas spent thousands of dollars in tunnelling
and in sinking shafts into its best lodges and
mas developed the Olympus, yellow Aster and
Trilby mines more than others. All last fan the
mountain sides yielded ore that averaged S94 a
ton and on some days it into rock that was
worth over SIP a ton. The firm keeps its bust
ness a secret but the story goes about Ranis-
burg that from December to March it sold over
Tio''"oo worth OF ore, and it has not begun to
reach the Lodges where the richest rock is to be
