Why is one woman attractive and an
other not? The most admirable and at
tractiye thing about an attractive woman
is her womanliness. Everybody admires
a womauly woman. She must have health,
of course, because without 1t she would
lose the brightness of her eyes, the full.
ness OF her cheeks and her vlvacity. Real
health must mean that woman is really
a woman. That she Is strong and perfect
In sexual way, as we'll as in every

A BIG KLONDlKE STRIKE.

Two Miners Discover Nuggets nj Gold worth
500 TO O. 90 Apirce-Courts Open in Dsw-
son ttty.
Tacoma, April 9.-The greatest strike
since Hunker creek was found was
made in February on bench claims on
Hopkins creek and between the Big ana
Little Skookum gulches.
Jack O'Gara and Robert Insley, who
left Dawson March 10. bring details of
their discoveries, which they claim are
the sensation OF the year in the in
terror.
o'Gars says the bench dlggings NAM
ed are proving as rich as bedrock in the
best creeks and that nuggets valued at
500 to $3.50 have been dug out OF the
side hills between the Skookum gulches.
The gold runs In size from coarse gold
and fiaxseed nuggets to chunks Of yell
low metal nearly as large as mans
hand. Stalking is in progress on the hill
side of all the surrounding creeks. Gold
in them seems TO have come from big
mountain known as the Dome.
Winnie Hopkins, Murdoch Mckenzie
and two other Tacoma men discovered
gold running at IS per pan on sids
hill at Hopkins gulch on Feb. u.
a great stampede followed. several
hundred persons securing claims which
were all proving rich. when Mckenzie
wrote late in February. Being on the
mountain side. all work must be done
with the rocker. The paying streak Ia
four feet deep and is very wide, readily
producing 5000 per dry per man. This
find led to the exploration of the ground
between Big and Little Skookum gulch-
es, which has proved still richer, with
larger nuggets numerous. All Klondike
is excited.
o'Gara says these discoveries have
caused greater exertions than ever and
| Will result in doubling the seasons out

THE GHlLKOOT DISASTER.

Ino behtu List May heb DO shofSaoS" ~
Observation-Disclosures Bodies Recovered
and Most of Them IdentiRed-The Work
of Rescue Proceeds vigorously.
Seattle, Wash, April 11.-Later de-
tails received here today from Alaska
increase the horrors of the avalanche In
the Chilkoot pass instead of lessening
them. Sixty-nine dead bodies have thus
far been recovered, and the names OF
$50 missing have been reported as un-
accounted for. It is barely possible that
some of these had succeeded in crossing
the pass before the avalanche occurred
A conservative estimate is that between
rs and 100 persons were killed.
A fact that lends horror to the fearful
tragedy is that it may never be known
with any degree of accuracy just how
many lives were sacrificed, who they
were or where they came from.
Many poor fellow lies buried where
no human aid can reach him, and his
remains must rest until the summer
rain melts the tons of snow and ice un-
der which he lies. Upon the crowded
trail no record was kept Of the living
mass of humanity Drawing hardship
and facing death itself in the mad
rush for gold. In the procession that
daily passed were people from all parts
of the world, unknown to one another
The work Of rescue has continued night
and day ever since last Saturday, being
gradually more systematized and con-
seauently meeting with better results.
Thus far work has been confined to the
outskirts Of the slide in the hope Of res
cuing those who are injured but not yet
dead.
Main BODY of Avalanche Untouched.
The main body OF the avalanche
which is estimated to be so feet deer
and $50 yards long, hes not yet beer
touched. If there are any bodies un-
derneath, they cannot be rescued II
time to save life. Four men were taker
out alive after they had been buried fol
10 hours. In many instances the bodies
or the dead are not bruised in thf
slightest and appear as natural as ir
life, Indicating that they were suffocat'
ed in the snow. The work of rescue ha:
been orderly and Systematic. A publit
meeting was held and arrangements e
take charge OF the dead and look foi
the wounded were made. All that car
possibly be done to relieve the horror
of the situation has been done. The ac-
cidelt was one that could not nave beet
foreseen, and 1t will be one that is like
ly to happen at any time when the
same conditions exist.
1t is stated that some warning OF thu
impending disaster was given by che
native Indian packers, who are said tt
have deserted the trail when the heavy
snow of Saturday and Sunday night SCI
in. They refused to work for fear oi
slides. The work of searching for the
! dead will be continued as long as there
is any hope of recovering any one
though It is feared that it must be dis
| continued before the whole truth Il
| known.
The federal troops at Dyea took nj
active part in digging out the dead,
