Mere About 1hc Coronado ExpezEtfon-
j. y. Brewer, Of St Paul, MINI, has
published a volume containing the re-
suits Of archaeological investigations
and explorations in Kansas, bearing
upon the inquiry as TO what was the
route and terminus Of the Coronado
expedition Of 1871 These investiga-
tons have inclined him TO locate the
terminus Of Coronado's journey some
where IN the Kansas valley, in the
region OF the Big Blue, Republican
and SalinesriYers- The sites Of numer-
Gus ancient aboriginal villages are
shown On q map. and one, which Mr.
Brewer has called the Elliot village
site, situated on McDOwelIs creek in
Geary county, Is miles southwest Of
Manhattan, is particularly described as
indicating the seat of empire Of very
numerous inhabitants. The remains
are extensive and are particularly de-
scribed The subject of these explOra-
tons was brought to the attention Of
the state historical society at the late
annual meeting. A committee, con
sisting Of Hon. Eugene F. Ware, Hon.
John Guthrie and Mr.. L R Elliott,
was appointed and authorized to ar
range for a continuance OF the investi-
CATION begun by hr. Brewer and for

8ome RenuIrementa Thnt WIZ Bs
Pound IndisDenEable-
The universal article Of diet in that
country, depended upon and indispensa-
bic, is bread OF biscuit. And tomakef the
bread and biscuit, either in the camp or
upon the trail, yeast cannot be used-it
must be baking POWDER and the pow
der manufactured by the processes Of
the Royal Baking Powder Company,
miners and prospectors have learned,
is the only one which wiz stand in that
peculiar climate Of cold and dampness
and raise the bread and biscuit satisfac-
torily.
These facts are very Important for
every. one proposing to 60 to Alaska and
the Yukon country to know, for should
he be persuaded by some outfitter to
take one Of the cheap brands OF baking
powder, it viii cost just as much to
transport il, and then when he opens it
for use, after all his labor IN packing =
over the long and difficult route, ne viii
find a solid caked mass or a lot OfsPOiled
powder, with no strength and useless.
Such mistake might lead to the most
which to experiment in food, or try to
economic with your stomach. For use
in such a climate, and under the trying
and fatiguing conditions of life and
labor in that country, everything must
be the best and most useful, and above
all it is imperative that all foOdsupplies
shall have perfect keeping qualities. It
is absurd to convey over such difficult
and expensive routes an article that
will deteriOrate in transit, or that Will
be found when required for use to have
lost q great part of its value.
There is no better guide to follow
IN these matters than the advice of those
who have gone through similar expert
ence- Mr.. McQuesten, who is called ''the
father OF Alaska" after an experience
Of years upon the trail. in the camp, and
in the use of every kind Of supply, says:
Eve find in Alaska that the Importance
Of a proper kind Of baking powder can
not be overestimated- A miner with a
can Of bad baking powder is almost
helpless in Alaska. We have tried all
sorts, and have been obliged to settle
down to use nothing but Royal. It
is stronger, and carries further, but,
I ABOVE All LuluBSs II IS the Only DD0u6L
that viii endure the severe climatic
changes Of the Arctic region"
It is for the same reasons that the Y.
I S. Government in its relief expeditions,
and Peary, the famous Arctic traveller,
have carried the Royal Baking Powder
exclusively.
The Royal Baking Powder viii not

board ship or in damp climates, and is
the most nightly concentrated and ef-
ficient Of leavening agents Hence it is
Indispensable to every Alaskan outfit

panies in Alaska, but should the miner
procure his supplies before leaving, he
should resist every attempt Of the out

other brands Of baking powder, for they

He drove the sheep in over the Dali

Collins decided to Kill his sheep. He

$50. 900 Tor them.
Then he concluded to hold the re-
mainder for a better market. He killed
the remaining 400 in a sort Of secluded
place off the line-Of travel and suspend
ed the carcasses on poles far enough
above the ground to be out of the reach
Of bears, wolves or other wild animals.
He left two young men to watch the
mutton, and proceeded to look for a

It. After he had dug out a few thou

he would. as the French say, return
