Agate
Ware.

Do you know that
great deal of ware is sold in this
market under the general term indi-
Gated above but in which there must
be a wide divergence of quality? If
cost counts for anything take buckets,
for instance. A genuine Agate four
quart Scanned Bucket costs you fifty
cents at our store. The same size in
Peerless Ware would realize the same
percentage of profit if sold for thirty
cents. The moral is obvious.
We do not handle the cheap grades
in Enameled Ware, but will sell ou
the best quality known to the trade
as low as the same can honestly be
sold.
Our shelves contain the most com
plete stock of these goods ever import
ed to this market.
Call and inspect the same.

worth fortune. One man has worked
out with sac, ,000in dust. One-quarter of
the claims are now selling at from $15,-
600 to $4,000. The estimate of the dis
trict given is Is miles, with an average
value of 5000, 900 to the claim, in which
some are valued as high as 81 ,OOO, 900
each. At Dawson sacks of dust are
thrown under the counters in the stores
for safe keeping.
"Some of the stories are so fabulous
that am afraid to repeat them for fear
of being suspected of the infection.
Labor is SIS day and board, with
100 days. work guaranteed, 80 you can
imagine how difficult it is to hold en-
ployes. If reports are true it is the big
gest placer discovery ever made in the
world, for though other diggings have
been found quite as rich in spots, no
such extent of discovery has been known
which prospected and worked so high
right through
j. Lippey, who, up to year ago, was
secretary of the Y. NJ. G. A. at Seattle,
brought back $65, 900 in gold dust. He
had most of his pile in large gripsack
and it was about all he could carry down
the plank. Mr.. Lippey was accompan-
led by his wife, who went with him to
Forty Mile camp and endured the hard
ships of life in that region of the world.
When seen at the Palace Hotel, Mr.. Lip
pey said:
'The place is srich-woudertully so, 1
might say. 1t would be impossible for
me to even calculate its riches. 1 am
10th, however, to talk of all this wealth,
for the reason that it might induce peo-
pie who are not fitted financially or 9TH
erwise to go to that district. IG is not
by any means an easy undertaking. 1t
is filled with difficulties and trials such
as one can hardly dream of, but if per-
son is inclined to make the risk 1 do not
believe that he can lose by it.
"The new mining camp was discov-
cred in September last, and there are
now about 5000 people on the ground.
The place is about 40 miles from Forty
Mile camp, and has been called Dawson
City. 1 was among the first to arrive,
and to that fact 1 attribute IN a measure
the success had, though I do not by
any means say that there are not other
claims just as good as mine, and still
others which have not been located.
"How much did take out? oh, that
is something which do not care to say.
People have told all kinds of stories
about my wealth, putting it from $780,
600 to $500, 900, but that Is mistake. I
brought down with me, well, say $685.
600, though as have not had the duet
weighed yet cannot be certain as to
that"

FROM THE CLONDYKE
Stories of Fabulous Riches
Come From the North.
A VERITABLE SECOND ELDORADO
Spot in the Yukon District Where Mill
lions May Be Had for the Taking
Great Excitement.
A vERITABLE SECOND ELDORADO

SAN FRANCIsCo, July IA story RI
valling in intensity of interest that told
of the fabulous wealth of Monte Cristo
was related by passengers on the little
steamer Excelsior, which has just ar
rived from st. Michael's, Alaska. Mil
lions upon millions of virgin gold, ac-
cording to the story, await the fortunate
miner who has the hardihood and cour-
age to penetrate into the unknown
depths of the Yukon district. There was
tangible evidence ON the little steamer
of the truth of the story told by the
travellers, for in the cabin were scores of
sacks filled to the very mouth with
"dust" taken from the placers of the far
frozen North. The amount brought in
is variously estimated at from $500, 600
to $75O,OOO.
There came in on the Excelsior some
40 people-among them come women
from what is now known as the Clondyke
district, though only Is of these had
been actually engaged in mining. There
were among them men who had been for
more than 10 years facing the dangers
hope of making a rich find, but signally
failed. But now thev come back with
fortunes slowed in their gripsacks, and
untold millions to be picked up in the
country of which so little is known.
The new Eldorado lies just across the
Alaskan boundary in British territory.
It is of a recent discovery, but already
.,
ground and more are f1ocking in that di-
rection as fast as transportation can be
secured.
The discovery of the Clondyke regions
presents story that is uniquely inter-
esting. Around Forty-Mile, on the Yu-
kon, is a tribe of Indians known as the
Stickers, and with them is a man who
years ago was known as George Cormack,
but who is now called "Stick George. -
In September last, at the head of a party
of Indians, he left his hut near Forty
Mile camp and started in southerly di-
rection, saying that he intended to find
a new gold field before his return. He
came back two weeks later and startled
the miners with the announcement that
40 miles away there was gold to be found
in plenty. The streams abounded with
the yellow metal, and all that was need
ed was for somebody to pick it up.
Many persons flocked to the place, and
in time the word reached Forty Mile
camp that untold riches could be found
along the bottom of Bonanza creek and
it's tributaries. Men who had failed at
the former camp Immediately packed up
their belongings and set out for the new
fields. 1t was hard and trying journey,
but that was nothing with the promise
of millions at the end of the route.

WATER SNAKE FIGHTS EEL.
Terrific Combat which Finally Ended In
the Eers Escape.


the Eers Escape.
"Did you ever know that there is a
deadly antipathy between a common
water snake and an eel?' asked the
fisherman, according to the Indlanapo-
lis Sentinel "WeIl, 1 never knew it
until an experience 1 had in witnessing
a fight between the two. Personally,
L have the greatest dread of eels. I'm
more afraid of them than I am of \
snake, and you can imagine my chagrin
when I happened to hook one on one
of my fishing expeditions. Twas afraid
to touch it, and all I could do was to
let it dangle in the air. L could not get
it off my hook, and was meditating
what to do, when altogether unnoticed
1 allowed the Shiny object to drop into
the water. In d moment L saw a big
water snake make a dive for it. At
the first luDge it caught the neck of the
eel squarely between his teeth, and L
could see it sink its ugly-looking fa2gS
into the eel's flesh. / waited anxiously
to see the developments. With its grim
hold still on the cells neck the snake,
quick as it takes to tell it, wrapped
its sinuous body around its antagonists
neck in an effort to squeeze it to death.
The body of the eel was too sleek, how
ever, and the snakes coils, despite all
it could do, would slip down into the
water. Time and time again it tried to
squeeze the life out of it's antagonist,
never for an instant releasing its hold on
the cells neck, but the body of the lat :
ter was too sleek for it and every time it
would slip down. Finally the hook
broke, and the eel made good its escape -

THE FUNNEL TRICK.
An Interesting Problem Devised by Sport
i've CaIifOrnians.

An interesting Problem Devised by Sport
i've CaIifornians.
Jerry Lynch has finally learned the
funnel trick. He took it in two doses
one on one evening and the other the
next. The senator sauntered up to the
Bohemian club the other day and saw
two or three of the younger members at
tempting 4 new feat, and he watched
them with interest. One of them, says
the San Francisco News Letter, stuck
his head back, placed a 5O-cent piece on
his forehead and tried to drop it in the
funnel by slowly lowering his head.
After all had failed Jerry insisted on
trying it, though all had tried to
dissuade him from attempting feat too
difficult for them. The funnel was
placed in the waistband of his
trousers and he threw back his head to
receive the coin on his expansive brow.
AT that juncture a pitcher of ice water
