No DANGER OF STARVATION
NINE RETURNING KLONDIKERs
All. However, Agree That Food IL
Scarce at Dawson City - Dog
Teams Were Used i'm Making the
Outward Trfp-Discovery of Gold
Quartz.

Seattle Jan. l3-The steamer City of
Topeka, from Juneau, Alaska, had among
her passengers nine men who left Dawson
City December o. They were w. J.
Jones, Port Townsend; ID. ID. Stewart, Jul

vile, Wash; Harry Miller, Colville,
Wash; j. Cordroy, Denver George An
serson, Tacoma, and Robert johnson, Ia
coma.
They were "a days in coming from Daw-
son to the coast. Their journey was unat-
tended by special incidents. The coolest
weather recorded was Is degrees below
zero The party brought out with them
about $4,000 in gold dust and drafts
Dog teams We're used in making the trip.
The party brings no new features in
reference to the food situation at Daw-
son. They all agree that food is scarce,
but that there is no danger of starva-
tion. If large number of persons had
not gone down the river to Fort Yukon
and Circle City to spend the winter, diff
ferent tale would have been told.
f. c. Arnold said: "There is no danger
Of starvation. OF course there is not food
enough, but that was always true in the
Yukon, and always will be. There is a
big warehouse of beef at Dawson. Next
winter will be far worse than this, be-
cause there will be many more people
there"

would be welcomed nevertheless.
Rich Quartz Strikes.
w. j. Jones brings news of the discov-
cry of what is supposed to be the mother
lode and quartz origin of the placers of
the Klondike district. The discovery was
made within "a hours at four different
points, one of them at the Dome, a high
mountain to the east of the source OF
Bldorado creek by Frank Slavin; the Sec
end one at No. 81 Eldorado, by A. H.
Jose and partner; the third one at Mug
get gulch, at No. l3, and the fourth some
where in the POS on Bonanza creek. The
trend of the vein is northwest by west
westerly from the dome. 1t is found at
about 80 fet below the surface and un.
ledge is about Is inches wide and main
tains a uniform width 1t is generously
sprinkled with free gold
Mr. Jones brings down samples of the
ere and everyone who has seen them says
the rock is precisely the same in char
acter as is found in the Comet mine at
Berner's Bay, southeastern Alaska. Mr.
Jones said that old timers in the Klon-
dixie had made similar observation. In
no instance was the quartz discovery made
by men who owned the placer claims and
the locators of the quartz lodges thus ac-
suire separate and distinct title from
the locators of the placer. The discovery
ef this ledge on No. 81, Eldorado, was
made by man who was working the
placer for the owner A shot was put in
and about 80 pounds of ore blasted out
The greatest excitement prevails and nc
man will listen to any suggestion to sell
his claim until further development has

DurraDt and his keepers climbed to the
gallows platform. Instantly on arriving
at the gollows his legs and arms were
pinioned and the rope was placed upon his
neck. The hangman was about to adjust
the black cap when Durrant announced
his desire to speak. Permission was given,
and the doomed murderer spoke as fol-

Embraces Catholicism.

Consistent to the last, Durrant died pro-
Tossing religion. But he died accepting at
the last moment the comforts of the Cath
Ollie church instead of those of the Bap-
fist faith, in which he was reared Rev.
Raeder, Protestant minister, had ar
ranged to ascend the scaffold with Dur
rant, but the minister would not say that
he thought Durrant innocent, and the
condemned man declined to accept his
services until Raeder professed belief in
his innocence Then it was that the once
ardent Baptist turned to the Catholic
church for consolation, and called upon
Father Lagan, a priest who had visited
him in prison, to attend him. Father La
gan responded promptly and performed
the last solemn rites of the church. Dur
rant remained in close consultation with
the priest and seemed to be deeply inter
ested in the impressive ceremony.
As the hour of execution approached,
the prisoner became somewhat restless.
His father and mother were admitted to
bid him last farewell. The elder Dur
rant grasped his son by the hand, and the
young man then turned to comfort his
mother, who cried Historically. Durrant
embraced her tenderly, and saying, "The
hour has come for us to part" put her
gently away. The grief-stricken mother
was led to a private room, where she re-
NAMED until after the execution. The
father, however, went to the execution
room and, supported by two friends, saw
his son meet his death

How ST. Valentines Day Originated.

Mr. Doncc. in his Illustrations Of
Shakespeare, says regarding 81. Nalen-
tines Day: 1T was the practice In an
cent Rome. during a great part OF the
month Of February. TO celebrate the Luz
percalia. which were fcasts In honor Of
Pan and Juno. whence the latter deity
was named Februata. Februalis and
Februella on this occasion, amidst
variety Of ceremonies. the names OF
young women were put in box, from
which they were drawn by the men as
chance directed. The pastors Of the early
Christian church, who by every posi-
Bile means endeavOred TO eradicate the
vestiges OF pagan superstitions' supsu-
tuted in the present Instance the names
Of particular saints instead OF those OF
the won Ell. and as tie festival OF Luper-
Gala had commenced about the middle
OF February they appear TO have CHOSEN
81 Valentines Day for celebrating the
new feast because IT occurred at nearly
the same time. This IS. I'm part. the opin-

An interesting ceremony took place
lrst Tuesday at Saint Boniface church
when, in accordance with the ancient
ritual of the mother churches, Rev.
Sinkmayer, Of Iowa City, solemnly
blessed the two new bells with holy
water and consecrated oils, defeating
them to the service of Almighty God,
baptiZing the larger in the name of st.
Frances and the smaller in the name
of st. Aloysius. A great multitude of
people were present to witness the
ceremony. After high mass, at 8
o'clock, the people formed in process
sion, headed by the cross bearer and
United State banner, in the following
line: First, boys of the congregation
with boquets and their banner, then
girls in white and their banner, next
young ladies of the Sodality and mar
ried women, then United States ban
ner followed by young men and mar
boys followed by clergy in vestments.
Rev. Sinkmayer was assisted by Faith
er Gleason, of Audubon, Father j.
Hansen, of st. Ambrose College, Dav-
export, who also sang the solemn mass:
and by the pastor, Father Zaiser. The
large bell, which weighs 1850 pounds,
was donated by Messrs. Navratil and
Schilan who, with their wives, stood
as sponsors for the bell during it's
baptism" After the beautiful cere-
mony Rev. Sinkmayer delivered an
address in the Bohemian language. At
its conclusion Rev. Zaiser, in few
well chosen words, presented each of
the four sponsors with handsomely
engraved small gold cross as memen-
to OF their generosity. These little
crosses, during the ceremony, We're at
tached with bright ribbons to the bell.
Then each child placed its boquet
around the rims of the two bells. The
picnic INDUCED in by the members Of
the congregation ond their fri ends
proved a very enjoyable affair, and
also financial success, the proceeds
amounting to about sixty dollars. The
people of Saint Boniface will long
remember their gala day.
