Gave Him a Case of Rheun

Gave Him a Case of Rheumatism.
It had been in the habit for many
years of drinking strong coffee twice
a day without sugar or milk, hoping
by that means to moderate the effects
upon my nervous system.
I never suspected the coffee habit
had anything to do with my rheuma-

able to get about without crutches, at
times.

boundaries. The report is entitled "Geo- logy of the Yukon Gold District of Alaska by J. Edward Suprr, with an introductory chapter on the history and condition QT the district to 1897. by Harold B. Goodrich"
 In spite of the difficulties of travel and short season of work Mir. Spur was en- able to get a birds eye view of the broad general features of geological strnctqre or this immense interior and to determine the position and characteristic features of the gold-bearing rock formations from the wearing down of which the unusually rich placer deposits not only of the already dis covered districts in American territory, but also of those which have since created so much excitement witnin Canadian borders, were derived. These rock formations, which he designates as the Birch Creek, Forty Mile and Rampert Series, are of im- mense thickness and very old, dating back beyond the Paleozoic era, and resting on fundamental granite or gneiss. The richer glacers are all found among this Aatter gulches heading in hills formed of these rocks, which are very full of gold bearing quartz veins. There are also gold bearing conglomerates formed in former geologic period by the wearing down of the rocks along an ancient sea beach and since con- soldated into hard rock, lifted up and folded, where a brasion has furnished gold to some of the placers and which may prove themselves to be sources of wealth in the future.
 Mr. Spurs report is accompanied by geological maps of the mining districts visited and contains a full discussion Of the manner in which placer deposits are formed He effecutally disposes of the statement made by the late director of the coast survey, Gen. Duffield, that the pacers are of glacial origin, by showing that the region where they are found, in great rich ness, was never covered by the continental ice sheet The paper will undoubtedly prove of great value in affording to those who may visit in the future more correct understanding of geological conditions pre- vailing in the region and will be in great demand.
 Of each of these papers the geological survey has about 1 2CO copies for general distribution.

NUMBER OF ANIMALS.
The Agricultural Department Gives the Sta
 tistics.

Washington, March 2.-The agricultural tins on live stock:
 The returns of the number of live stock on farms in the United States on Jan. |, . show there to have been 13 911 horses, 2,257 ,665 mules, 15.S4O,SS5 mlch cows, 29 254,- 197 oxen and other cattle, S7,656,9SO sheep and 39,759,993 swine. These figures show decrease of 403, ,756 in the number of horses, 100,Si1 in that of milch COWS, l. PA ,211 in that of oxen and other cattle, S40,- 2S3 in that of swine. On the other hand there is an increase of s3S,317 in the num- Der of sheep and 42011 in that of mules. While there has been an increase in the number of milch cows in each of the New England states, and a somewhat consider able increase in the northwestern states there has been a decrease throughout al- most the entire south, and this fact, to- gether with a slight decrease Tn New York Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Illinois, reduces the total for the country at large to six-tenths of per cent. below that of last year. Of the seventeen states representing total of over one million hogs, Pennsylvania, Ohio. Georgia, Mis- souri, Kansas and Nebraska show an n- crease, and Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and eight southern states a decrease. There is marked increase in the value of live stock on farms reported from almost every section of the country, the total value of farm horses having increased during the year by 5,713 O11 that of mules $6 729 ,972, of milch cows, $65 ,573 S33, of oxen and other cattle, $104 ,367 ,21S of sheep, $25,7O0,191, and of swine $S,07S 699-a total increase in value of $236, ,162 S59, or 14.27 per cent.

GOVERNMENT PAPER
 ON GOLD FINDS Based on Surveys Before Break ing Out KIondike Fever. MANY INTERESTING FACTS 1t Contains Maps and Embodies Full Dis cussion by MT. Spur of the Manner in Which Placer Deposits
 Are Formed.
MANY INTERESTING FACTS

Washington March s.-Two papers con- taining important contributions to the gold bearing regions of Alaska papers, the pub lication of which has been awaited with great interest for nearly year, have just issued from the government printing office. They are both advance chapters from the Part III. of the eighteenth annual report of the director of the United States geo. logical survey, not yet issued. The papers give the results of reconnaissance examina- tions by survey experts made, respectively, in the summer of 1895 and 1896, or shortly before the outbreak of the Klondike gold excitement
 The paper, entitled Reconnaissance of the Gold Fields of Southern Alaska" a pamphlet of S6 pages of text and number of maps and other illustrations, records the result of observations by MT. George F. Becker in 1895, it's publication having been delayed until this time mainly by reason of MT. Becker's absence during part of 1S96 making a study of the gold deposits of the Transvaal.
 The principal developments of the coastal region of Alaska have been made among the islands of tre Alexander archipelago and on the adjoining shore of the Pan- handle strip of southeastern Alaska. In this. region are the famous Alaska Tread well and the Alaska-Mexican mines, on Douglas island, and a series of important deposits on the main land opposite and not far from Juneau and the Hunters Bay mines, on Admiralty island. To the north west are the Berners Bay mines, on the eastern shore of Lynn canal, and to the southeast the Sundum mines on Sundum bay, all of which are in the same general belt of metamorphosed states and intrusive rocks that resemble in a general way the country rocks of the mother lode in Cali

many of the defalcations and wrong doings of county officers could be avoided II the grand juries would do their duty and stop the evils in their beginning. The judge called special attention to the practice of carrying concealed weapons, and de- nounced mob violence in the most vigorous terms, the charge being considered by all who listened as a very strong one. In the absence of Solicitor Carmichael, Hon. D. c. Crow, registrar in chancery for this county, was appointed solicitor pro tenn. The juries for the first week were sworn and the civil docket called at once, and is now being gone over rapidly.
 The only civil case involving any consid- erable interest at this term is the suit of Sheriff Alonzo D. Carson against A. J. Frantz, the Age-Herald and the Western Union Telegraph company for $1O,OOO dam ages for alleged defamation of character. The case has been postponed by agreement until the next term of court. The civil docket will occupy the time of the court for the first two weeks, and the criminal cases will be taken up the third week.
