sawed on three sides, with the bark on
the outside. The roof is covered with
two thicknesses of inch boards. Over
this is a layer of moss one inch thick,
and this is covered with four inches OF
mud. The floors are made of inch
spruce, and the managers office and the
counter are of the timber in seven
boats which came from Seattle and
were taken apart at Dawson. The holes
were filed with putty. The fire bricks
for the assaying room were brought
from Bennett, to which place they had
been carried on the backs of mules.
Stone was obtained from across the riv-
er from Dawson. Logs cost 30 cents a
foot at the mill in Dawson. Carriage
from the mill cost 500 day for team
of horses, and a load consisted of 500
feet, board measure, the bad condition
of the road making it impossible to car
ry larger loards. Rough timbers cost
5000 per 1000. In the winter a barrel
of nails could not be had at less than
$3.50. No glass was to be had at any
price. Wooden shutters were used in
the lower part of the bank, and tents
were cut up to make windows for the
rooms I'D stairs.

Stopped Short
of Insanity.
Il yoHzg rescued III tie nick Of time from
fate terrible than death Her friends had
desbatred Of Saving Ter.

On the verge of insanity, Miss Hattie
King, of Ithaca, N. Y, was checked IN
the course that was taking her rapidly to
the grave, and restored to her friends IN
sound physical and mental health and
regained happiness.
The change for the better In this charm
ing young woman, not yet eighteen years
old, is so great that when she reappeared
IN public her friends could hardly be1ieve
the evidence that their eyes clearly showed
them.
Miss King became greatly weakened
by a complication of physical troubles,
and was looked upon BY her friends and
family as one doomed to early death.
Her stepfather, Charles NJ. Burnett, tells
of her strange cure as follows:
Hattie first complained of dizziness,
which steadily grew worse.
She suffered with Nausea and attacks
of vomiting; could keep bot little on her
stomach.
kidney disease attacked her. She was
pale, thin, and her blood, when a drop was
drawn by the prick of a needle, was al

Her heart was affected. She would
frequently faint from the slight exertion OF

Sedgwick County Farmer Makes a
Sweet Find of $50 Pounds.

Wichita, Nov. 5.-Benjamfn Robinson,
a prominent farmer and citizen of this
county, came to the city yesterday and
reported a big find of honey in the at
tic of an old house that had been con-
verted into a corncrib on his farm.
Mr.. Robinson said that last fall there
was a number of swarms OF tramp bees
which came lowering over the alfalfa
fields in the vicinity of his and neigh
boring farms. Little attention was Civ
en- to them at the time. and in a few
days they disappeared and nothing
more was thought of them until one
daY this week they were seen flying
around the caves of the crib and Mr.
Robinson concluded to make an inves-.
tigation and locate their swarming
place or rendezvous. The old convert
ed house had an attic and he crawled
up and took a peep into tn space. There
he discovered a sight that he win long
remember. There was nothing but
honey, and bees everywhere. The farm
hands were called upon to gather the
honey, and when the crop was harvest
ed and weighed there was over one
hundred and fifty pounds of the best
comb honey ever taken from a hive.
Mr.. Robinson and the neighbors are
now enjoying wheat cakes and honey.
A number are gathering bees for hives
of their own.

STEEL RAIL POOL
Formed to Keep the Price at $50 Per
Ton

Philadelphia, Nov. 5.-The Press says:
It was announced in this city yesterday
that the steel rail manufacturing COM
panies had agreed to maintain the price
of steel rails, the contract to remain in
force for five years. Besides this the
price was to be advanced from SIS to $40
a ton. For several days representatives
of the leading steel and iron companies
have been in New York trying to
bring about a steel rail pool something
similar to the one which was split as
under early last year, this action being
directly the result Of the drop in the
price of steel rails. While for the last
eight months there has been more or
less talk about forming such pool, no
definite shape was given the project I'M
til after the formation of the Federal
Steel company. During the past week
several meetings have been held in New
York and at these meetings the agree
ment to maintain prices for five years
was prepared and adopted.
For several years prior to January,
1897, a similar pool kept the price
around S28 a ton. When this agreement
was broken the price began to fall until
the Carnegie company made the mem
orable cut, and, before the fight was
stopped, orders for steel rails were ia
ken far below ruling figures. Since then
there has been steady advance, until
now when the price has risen to about
SIS a ton. Practically all the steel rail
manufacturing companies are members
of the new pool The Bethlehem Iron
company is not, however, but it is said
this company is not paying much atten-
ton to the manufacture of steel rails
and the Coronado Steel and Iron com
pany was taken in it's place. The Off
GERS Of the iron and steel companies To-
Gated in this city were averse to talking
freely and outside of knOwledging
that there had been a steel rail pool
formed they had little to say. It is I'M
derstood that while the protocol has
been signed there are other important
matters to consider at fture meetings.
The railroad companies are in favor
Of higher prices for steel rails, as they
claim to be benefited to a great ex-
tent by the increase in freights.
