our Hopes on Thee.

AS, when the weary traveller gains,
The height of some commanding
hill,
His heart revives, if DER the plains
He sees his home, though distant
still.
Thus. when the Christian pilgrim
views
By faith his ma sion in the skies.
The sight his fainting strength re.
views
And wings his speed to win the
prize.
The thought of heaven his spirit
cheers
No more he grieves for troubles
past,
Nor any future trial fears,
So he may safe arrive at last.
Jesus, on Thee our hopes we stay
To lead us on TO Thine abode,
Assured Thy love will far o'erpay
The hardest labors of the road.
Anonymous.
True worth is in being, not seeing
In doing, each day that goes by,
Some little goOd-not in the dream
ing
Of great things to do by and by,
For whatever men say in blind
ness,
And in spite of the fancies of
youth,
There's nothing so kingly as kind
ness,
And nothing so royal as truth.

IN SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA
Rich Quartz Mining Propositions.

"Southeastcln Alaska in general and the country around Wrangel in partic- ular will be the most attractive field of mining operations during the coming season. said Ed (. Morse la d Times reporter. He has been experimenting the development work on the rich Company on Thorn Arm. Il beautiful inlet from the sea. about ninety miles from Wrangel. He says that his com pany has large bodies of quartz in well defined lodges, carrying rich gold val ues in the iron sulphurctts. He has had crew at work nearly all summer and has uncovered threc-foot ledge for d thousand feet and finds it carrying a uniform value of about S4O ton He has also pfospcctcd another ledge. rich in free milling value. that k twenty return in short time and prepare to erect Il stamp mill in the spring. Dr. J. Eugene Jordan and Nlr r.. Lobe, the
 
 principal members of the company. are much elatcd at the result of Mir. Molsc's 's labors.
 Mr. Morse also states that the copper lodges on Gravena and Prince of Wales Islands are very promising.
 Clark X Martin, the well-known traders and fish packers of ketchikan. have good property. Ex-Governor Swineford and the Deer Park Mining Company have done considerable work during the season. sam Bowden of ketchikan has one of the best silver and lead propositions that he has ever seen. He thinks that the rich free gold strike of Capt. Dyer and Mr. ,Iohn- son. at Helm Bay. out of which they are grinding out 5000 a day with a simple arrastra, is with few parallcs in the annals of mining. Capt. \. II. James and Case X Wilson have some good claims which they expect to de- velope in'the spring.
 ''The many parties who went pros pecting for placer up the Unic River, beyond those awful glaciers. met with disappointment, they not finding gold in quantities that would pay for mining in such an out of the way place.
 Southeastern Alaska has bright future before it, in fact. it is soon to be- come one of the best districts in Alaska and Wrangel will be the natural dis tributing point. It is not cold there in winter and no place in the world can boast of more delightful summers ''- Seattle Times.

Four Thousand Taken From an
 Eight-Foot Hole.

Four thousand dollars in gold has been taken from an eight-foot hole on Capt. (. P Dycr's Gold Standard group of seventeen claims located on tlcvc- land Peninsula. sixty miles south of Wrangel. Dyer has thls gold in the form of Il brick worth $.,5OO and some ore specimens filled with nuggets and wire gold. One piece has it's flat side literally plated with gold an eighth of an inch thick. At the point where the shaft was sunk there is Il great fault in in the iisslre. which is from eight to eighteen inches wide and filled with spar and quartz. parted from the walls by clay seams. A large quantity of quartz laying next to this clay seam on the hanging wall was plated with gold in the manner desc, ibed. The gold contained in his brick was pounded out of this rock in a mortar by Dyer in less than Il month. An arrastra just erect ed Ut the mines is expected to grind out &,,O0o every twcntyfour hours from the rich ore now in sight.
