DR.. P. Harold Hayes, of Buffalo, N. Y,
announces that Asthma can be cured so that
it stays cured, and says: eff patient is
loyal to the conditions of cure, then there
is no uncertainty as to the result. In all the
world there is not an Asthmatic, free from
Heart Disease, Bright's Disease, Tuberc]es
in the Lungs, or other organic complica-
tons, who cannot be cured of Asthma and to
stay cured. Dr.. Hayes has now treated
more than forty thousand cases of Asthma
and Hay-Fever, and sends to all applicants
such testimony and proofs as cannot be
gainsaid or doubted. Among his patients
are many who have not had a particle of
Asthma for more than ten years and some
of them have now stayed cured for nearly
twenty years. No charge is made for con.
sultation by mail and all sufferers are in
vited to write about their own cases.

 Tle old saying that nothing is ever lost is unexpectedly verified by the recent finding in a tomb at Luxor, Egypt, where it had lain conce sled for 1,S00 years, of papy- rus containing twenty poems by BacchylIdes, a great Greek poet whose writings had wholly disap- peared.
 Orders have been sent to Commo- dore Howell, commander of the European station, to send force of men from San Francisco to take possession of and hoist the ship that is ready to go into commission at New Castle. This will prevent any difficulty in case hostilities should break out, as the ship would be under flag, but lying in friendly harbor.

How to Get Alaskan Information.

The rush to the Klondike ha!
 commenced. the most adventurou:
 of the gold seekers braving the
 half-over winter in order to get
 ahead of their fellows. These dar
 tug but not Overwise chuPs are all
 going inic the Klondike In spite oi the fact freely announced that claims for fifty miles around Dawson City have been already taken ur.
 That Is, all those opened to miners, the alternate claims being reserved
 for the Canadian government. This IS not the case on the American side of the boundary, where every claim is opened to iiiiug, and where there are no duties, royalties, restrictions or penalties under the United States mining laws. The early rush of men into AlaSks is composed mostly of "tenderfeet," who have had the dormant gold fever all fall and win ter and with whom 1t has broken out too strong to resist. A repetition of last years experiences on the tTallS VIII De q severe put good lesson to many of them.
 The biggest strike yet reported from the American side of Alaska is that made by David Ward, who has found a region on one of the largest tributaries of the Yukon, where be prospected streams and gulches, finding rich gold deposits every where. On his return last fall he brought back all the gold he could carry, and he only came out SO that he could go back this spring pre- pared to take advantage of his rich strike to the fullest extent. He is building a boat with complete for placer mining, will provision her for two years and will carry party of twenty select men with him. After taking up claims for his party, Ward will announce the exact location of his new FL dorado to the world. He says there is room for ten thousand miners where he made his find. He is now in Philadelphia, Pa., and will be glad to give information or advice concerning the gold fields to any who write Co him.

the surface. A peculiarity of the ore in this mine is that as depth is attained the ore grows freer and richer. The greatest savings made on the plates is from ore from the lower depths of the property.
 In a recent item, referring to the claim of the Phenix Republican, that Phenix was a mining center, the JoURNAL-MINER said: "If there is a mine within forty miles of Phenix, they have kept very quiet about 1t. " Realizing the truthfulness of the assertion, evidently, the Republican grows facetious. and asks: Has the writer never heard of the Goldield, the Cave creek or the WinIfred districtsl" Yes, the writer has heard of the districts, but never of a mine in any of them. The Gold fields produced some gold from near the surface, but closed down some time ago. If there are any produ . cling mines m any of these districts, as stated before, the fact has been kept very quiet. Will our contem- porary give the output of the mines in the three districts of which Phe nix IS the hub and mining centeri
 The Phenix Gazette has the fol- lowing item ot mining news from this county: "J. F. Osenburg, the first harness maker of Phenix, but now a mining man of Congress, Is in the city. He has for years given up the awl for the pick and drill, and has prospered fairly we'll. He IS now associated with Charles Shella- burger in developing five claims, located three and a half miles north east of Congress. They began last October, and have in the meantime sunk l5 shafts, from ten to 20 feet, along on the blind ledge. In each place the vein Is encountered. It ranges from eighteen inches to two feet in thickness, and assays sn average of $50 a ton. There is at present 200 tons of assorted ore on the dump that runs from S200 to S30O to the ton. Four men are now working, and it is proposed to put the group in good condition, so it will be a producer. The character of ore is free milling and the vein quite regular"
 It IS a pity that politics were iu- troduced into the preliminary meet ing of the Territorial Miners Asso- citation. The laudable effort to organize a permanent institution that would tittinglY represent this great industry was nipped in the bud, greatly to the disgust of those most vitally interested. The miners should not be discouraged, however They shouli rally to the next call. issued by the miners themselves, and form an association that will be helpful and encouraging to those engaged Tn the business. Every pros pector and mining man should res pond to the next call. The meeting will probably be held at Prescott, which is more a mining center than Phenix and much less a political hot bed.-Williams Ne Es.

The most northern hotel in the world is on the inhosPitable shore of Advent bay, where it washes the west coast oi Spitzbergen. Tourist hytben (Tourist hotel) is the name of the remote estab- lishment. Its season Is necessarily short, extending from July 10 to Aug. IS, but it gives a hearty welcome to the few yentUresome travellers who have the te- merity to seek its shelter. It has accom- mCdations fer 30 guests. It is announc- ed that the increase of travel to the gate of the arctic regions has made the es- tablishment of a postoffice in the hotel a necessary feature. The hotel is in an approximate latitude of 76 degrees I5 minutes. or 800 miles farther north than Hammerfest.
