1900 MILES FROM GOLD.

MT. Emmons Writes Us from the Northern Corner of the United States.
 Seattle, Wash April ., 1898, EiitoT 0f NetnS:
 After months waiting in San Fran. cisco our party, now consisting of six, left that clty on April ? on board the "Vslencia," double decked steel steamship owned by the Pacific Coast Steam Whaling Co. We could have obtained plenty of chances to take pas sage on vessels whose safety was either questionable or whose ownership ire sponsible but tLis is our first opportun. ity to obtain passage ou frst class vessel, owned and operated by solid company whose reliability is upques- toned. When we trnst our lives it is only safe 10 employ the best transporta- tion there is, The schooner "Henry w. Amy" went down with all on board; 1; not one escaping, captain, crew or pas senger. The"Valencia" was built in Pniladel phia in 'S2 and has been in use between New YoIk and Havana until this spring, when she was purchased by this company, this being her second trip to Copper River, where we are bound. She measures 250 1t. long by 8 1t. vide, capable of carrying two thousand tons, while we have only about TOO tons aboard which makes her pitch, dive aud roll like log.
 The weather is fine all Sunday and Monday and the sea com paratively smooth but it is anythiug but smooth and pleasant to me My appetite has gone back upon me, l tried to con quer my rebellious stomach but it re- fuses to be dictated to, bat after two days of constant attention of walking the deck, bending deferentiaiiy over the rail and saluting the porpoises and and whales having observed two schools of the laitel) l was glad to observe that war had ceased and quiet was restored. Tuesday it raiucd all day. At $ p m. we are passing the mouth Of the Columbia river. "Wednesday murn- ing we are approaching Cape Flat tery. On this point is ths Island Ia toosh, upon which stands the fam ous lighthouse that pilots the mariuer iuto Pugett Sound, through whose quiet waters We are steaminy. This sound is about 20 miles wide, smooth. nice body of water. rJ ths north lies Brit- ish Columbia and south stste of Wash ington.
 Our fare from San Francisca to Cop. per River is Sl00 as We are in first cab in; there are about 40 first cabin passen- gers and 300 in the steerage. This transportation company owns extensive canneries ou Copper River. where some B 900 dozen cans of salmon are marketed annually. This company is only one in many whose canneries dot the Alaskan shores.
 At Seattle the government reindeer in number joins our company with their attendants ard government officers, being part of the relief expedition. We are now at Seattle taking in 350 tons of coal for our trip which is about 1900 miles flom here or lS0u miles from San Francisco.
 Mir Farley Clark of New York joined our company in San Francisco. He is fine man whose mother is quite wealthy. We have also added to our party F. E. Thyng, an old California miner, thoroughly versed in the mining laws and usages, but best of all a thor oughly practical miner, aud We hope to make good record. We ure all well and will write you from Orca.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh thar
 Contain Mercury.

as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole sys- tenn when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable phy- sians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to tho good you can possibly derive from them. Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney X Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury and is taken internally, and acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Halls Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally, and made in Toledo, Ohio, by F. J. Cheney X Co.
