MEN IN THE PUBLIC EYE.

With the millions of Anna Gould
Count Boniface de Castellane is still
posing as the modern Tiberius. His
latest act of magnificence is to purchase
the Palazza della Scala in Verona, for
the sake Of the eleven ceilings In it
painted by Tiepolo. These will dec
crate his new palace in Paris, a repro
duction of the Grand Trinon. Paris
regards the career of the little count
with mingled awe and envy. When
will it end. or are the Gould millions
really inexhaustible?
John M. Langston, the colored law
yer, politician and orator, bears with be-
coming dignity the many honors which
have come to him during his eventful
life. He does not look over 68 years of
age. For several years he was law
lecturer and dean of the Howard uni
versity law department. In 1877 Pres
ident Hayes sent him as minister to
Hayti. He is the only colored man
Virginia ever sent to congress. As
scholar he ranks among the leaders; as
an orator he is the prince Of the plat
form.
James H. Eckels, who. within few
days, has retired from the Office of con-
troller of the currency, evidently does
not propose to hide his light under a
bushel, because he is no longer public
official. He delivered an interesting
address at Chicago the other night on
the subject of Public Leadership"
wherein he strongly favored independ-
ence in politics and vigorous individual
action, regardless of party politics and
party lines.

BLACK AND BLUE.

Black and blue colors are not subject to
fashions this season nor in any season.
They hold their own and will not wash out.
They are pretty solid colors, and but for the
misery of wearing them, might become
fashionable. Some men take pride in wear
ing them as tokens of their profession, as
soldiers do their scars. But bruises, black
or blue, or both, ought to have immediate
attention, for under them may be nerve
hurt or muscle badly wrenched. A black
and blue bruise is "a bad thing, not only
from its tender soreness but the confused
blood is prevention of regular circulation.
While sore spots like these will not wash
out, there is something that will rub them
out in no time, and that is St. Jacobs Oil.
1t is peculiarly adapted to their quick cure;
A pennant can be won only by hard
knocks, with scars and bruises, but after
the ball is over, if any remain, this one
cure is the best. Bruises come from con-
fusion in all avocations, and it is well to
remember at all times just what will cure
them the best.

SWINDLED IN MEXICO.
Americans Buncoed in Fake Mining
Deal.

Americans Buncoed in a Fake Mining
Deal.
City of Mexico, Feb. 1.-Another
bold swindle has been brought to light
here by which New York business men
have been swindled out Of $21 900. It
appears that last autumn an American
giving the name of Frederick P, Ora
ham, claiming to be half brother to
the criminal lawyer, John Graham, of
New York, and married to a grand
niece of Sir Robert Peel, persuaded
three or four New Workers to 60 into
phosphate mining in the state of Oaxa-
ca, reporting that very rich phosphate
was on the market, and that he con-
trolled it. Graham further represent
ed that he had organized here COM
pany known as the Mexican Phosphate
Mineral Company, and when the par
ties were taken into the concern
Graham was made treasurer and presi-
dent. Recently two parties from New
York came here to inspect their prop
ertv, and now they find that there is
no phosphate. and that Graham has
fled with the cash, which had been de-
posted to his order in the bank of the
city Of Pnebla. Graham played the
game very bodily, representing that he
was in close touch with the highest
officials. and could bring influence to
protect the property, and in case other
things were wanted, they would be
forthcoming. The police are sure
Graham is one of the gang who swim

PILOTS FIRST TRIP.
Wreck of the Cor M Said to Have Been
Due to Carelessness.

A'O~.,
Due to Carelessness.
Seattle, Feb. Twenty-Five of the
passengers of the Inflated steamer Co.
roma, which was wrecked on Lewis
island last Monday morning, arrived
here tonight on the steamer Al.Ki,
which rescued them from the lonely
island. E. w. Pollock. who was q
passenger, on the Corona, in describing
the wreck said:
"The accident occurred at 9:l0 A. M.
in the morning. The gong had just
sounded to awaken the passengers for
breakfast, and about 100 of them had
already risen. Captain g. H. Pierce
and Pilot H. F. Coffman were on the
bridge. 1t was Coffman's first trip as
pilot. There was light enough to see
the shores on all sides. Suddenly,
while the ship was going at full speed,
without warning terrible shock oc-
Cured, followed by grinding success
sion of lesser shocks. Instantly it was
realized the ship had struck rock,
and scene of great confusion followed.
The wheel was reversed, but the ship
remained on the rock. Thre sea was
calm. Captain Pierce ordered the
boats lowered. The women were taken
ashore first, and by 10 o'clock the pas
sengers were all landed. The stock
and some baggage and provisions were
then taken ashore. The passengers re-
NAMED on the island until Thursday,
patiently waiting for passing steamer
to take them away from place of
great personal discomfort. Thursday
the steamer Al-Ki arrived, and 200 OF
the castaways boarded her. About 100
remained on the island in the hope OF
catching a north bound vessel.
About 10 O'Clock Thursday night
the Al-Ki met the steamer Oregon,
bound from Portland to Dyea and
Skagway. The two steamers were
dashed together and all but 20 Of the
Corona's people were transferred and
started north again."
1t is not believed that the injury to
the Corona is serious.
Pilot Coffman, who was on duty at
the time of the wreck, tells the follow
ing story:
1.-The directions on the chart say to
steer direct from Gibson's islands to
the northwest side of Kennedy's island.
In this water there are no soundings
marked on the chart less than seven
fathoms of water, and seven fathoms
is only found at the extreme end OF
Lewis island, close to the shore. The
soundings taken all around the ship al
ter the accident ranged from to 10
fathoms, with the exception of where
the ship struck, which was only 2 "a
fathoms.
SIT is q miles from Gibson's island
to the northwest side. kept the
ship due northwest for II minutes at
ter passing Gibson's island, and then
altered it to northwest by north.
Seven minutes later she struck"
Mr.. Coffman declares that he fol-
lowed the directions laid down, and
that he is not to blame.
Against Pilot Coffman's statement
that he was on the correct course is
Steamer Pilot Thompson's statement,
who went off duty at O'Clock the
morning of the accident. He says
that the reef upon which Coffman ran
the ship is well known among marin
ers, and that she was two miles out
of her course. He characterizes the &C
cident as sheer carelessness.

Sl0NALLY CONFIDENTIAL.

Workers in the wide, unexplored field of
modern chemistry are daily ASTOUNDING tho
world with new wonders. Professor and
iayman vie with each other in their CON
mendable efforts to lessen the ills of buman
ity. Yesterday it was Pasteur and Koclr
and today it is Slocum, with a new discoH''
cry which is the result of years of careful
study and research.
Foremost among the worlds greatest
chemists stands L. A. Slocum, of New York
City. His researches and experiments
patiently carried on for years, have finally
eliminated in results which are proving ~
bepehcial to humanity as the discoveries Of
any chemist, ancient or modern. His efforts
which for years had been directed toward
the discovery of a positive cure for con-
sumption, were finally successful, and al.
ready his "new scientific system of medi.
cine" has, by its timely use, permanently
cured thousa of apparently hopeless
cases, and 1t seems necessary and humane
duty to bring such facts to the attention of
all invalids.

America and Europe are almost unamious
in the opinion that nearly all physical all
ments naturally tend to the generation of
consumption. The afflicted die in the
short, cold days of winter much faster than
in the long, hot days of summer
The Doctor has proved the dreaded dis
ease to be durable beyond doubt, in anv

and European laboratories thousands of
letters. of heartfelt gratitude from those
benefited or cured in all parts of the world.
No one having, or threatened with, anv
disease, should hesitate day, but should
write at once. Facts prove that the Doctor
has discovered reliable and absolute cure
for Consumption (Tuberculosis) and all
bronchial, throat. lung and chest troubles,
stubborn coughs catarrhal affections, scrof-
ula, general decline and weakness, loss of
flesh, and all wasting conditions, and to
demonstrate its wonderful merits, he will
send Three Free Bottles Gall differently of

To Cut Lumber for Boats Along the
Lakes In Alaska.

To Cut Lumber for Boats Along the
Lakes In Alaska.
The last obstacle has been removed in
the matter of the establishment OF the
saw mills of the Canadian Mill Com
pany at the lakes on the lines OF routes
from Wrangel, Skagway and Dyea, to
Dawson and the Klondike. The scheme
is one of the most interesting yet
launched in connection with the in
crease of trade to the north, and con-
templates saw mills at different points
along the chain of lakes that lie In the
direct path of all routes leading across
the mountains from tidewater to Daw-
son. The principal business OF the
saw mills will be to cut lumber for the
boats to be used by prospectors and
miners going down to the gold fields.
When running to full capacity the mills
will be able to turn out 80 completed
boats daily.
The first use that the saw mills will
be put to, however. will be cutting
lumber to build two stern-wheel steam
ers, which are to ply on the lakes.
Each will be Is feet long, Is feet beam
and will draw 18 inches of water Al
ter the completion of the steamers the
mills will be started cutting boat lum-
Der and the daily capacity will be 49,
600 feet. The mills will have electric
light plants and run during the dark
hours of the short days or on night
shift if necessary. The boats will be
delivered at the head of Lake Bennett.
and the steamers can take long strings
of loaded boats and tow them dis
lance of ~ miles. This will be much
to the advantage of those owning the
boats, as the peculiar Typographical
conditions are such that head winds
prevail during the greater part OF the
season when lake navigation is open.
Each steamer will have capacity OF
1875 passengers. The tow of the small
boats will do away with the necessity
of sails. Navigation opens on the lakes
about April Is, and the mills are ex-
pected to cut for the steamers early in
March. A general freight business by
barges will be conducted on the lakes,
the barges as we'll as the boats to be
towed by the steamers.

Sale Of Klondike Claims.

One of the biggest deals on record in
Klondike mining properties was con-
summated in Seattle last week. Six
claims, located on Bonanza, Sulphur,
Dominion, All-Gold creeks and French
gulch changed hands. The total
amount involved in the transaction
was between $4,000 and 5000, 900.
No definite terms have been made pub
lie, both parties to the deal withhold
ing this information.
The purchasers are E. j. McCune, of
Salt Lake, Utah, and Eugene ]. Short,
of Spokane. They are acting for them
selves and for Spoakne and New York
parties. Mr. McCune is brother of
A. w. McCune, the millionaire Mon
tana and British Columbia mining
man, owner of the Payne silver mine,
in British Columbia. He is also asso-
ciated in number of mining properties
with Marcus Daily and w. L. Hoge,
we'll known in mining circles in Butte
and Anaconda.
Chris Neebur and Carl Hunt are the
sellers. Neebur is an Iowa boy, and
Hunt mined for several years in the
Kootenay and Oregon before going to
Alaska Neebur was four years in the
Yukon country, and Hunt spent three
years there. Both were in the Klon-
dixie early in the spring of 1897, before
the stampede from the states. They
secured number of valuable claims on
the principal gold-bearing streams in
the camp. After taking out large
quantity of gold from No. 9, above dis
covery on Bonanza, they sold half
interest in the claim for 100000.

Nuovets Of Klondike News.

The Alaska Mining Record has the
following nuggets" anent Klondikers
passing through juneau:
Frank Swanson, who is now in Ju-
neau, made the first sluice box that
was ever used in the Klondike district.
This was on Gold Bottom creek. He
is young man with clear complexion
and clear record, and is not million
aire vet, but has fair prospect of be-
coming one this year. He brought out
about $40, 900 in checks.
"Nigger Jim" came out with these
last Yukoners, but stayed at Skagway
for few days. He is said to be the
whitest man in Dawson and hence his
nickname. His real name is James
Daugherty or in the aristocratic past
D'Aughtre. He was in with Alex Nc
Donald on several recent deals and
brings with him in checks about $780,
600.
Sam Stanley, of Junea, has not done
SO badly IN the interior. He comes
out with about $40, in gold, and
has an interest in two of the finest
claims on the Eldorado.
Fred Stevens sold out the Dawson
opera house just before the big fire for,
it is said, 500. 900, but he did not bring
all this out with him.
George Miller had sold, when he left
Dawson, about 800 of his 1000 head of
sheep, and cleared about $40, 900 out of
the transaction.
George Apple had the biggest chance
in his life to make a fortune when
candles went up to 81 each, and then
became unpurchasable at any price.
He made moulds for the making Of tai
low candles-and there was plenty of
tallow, but he gave his ingenuity to
the benefit of the community. Still
he need not fear the grocery bill for
another 90 years.
It is not true that the correspondent
of the Kansas City Star managed to
marry Niger Jim," SO the San Fran
cisco Call will have to take back the
charge that she is young and beauti-
full woman.
The men who were invited and aided
to leave Dawson are the men who said
they were fleeing from starvation.
None of the men who worked while
there have any kick coming. They all
return with well-fed expressions and
healthy wallets.
About $50 pounds is the amount in
gold that Frank Slavin estimates has
been carried out over the trail, though
some place the figure much higher.
Emile Stauf is said to be worth
about $500, 900. He and his partner,
William Rancke. have taken in consid-
cable ground and bonded a number Of
claims. He brought about $40, 600 out
with him. He graduated from Daw-
son saloon.
