POEMS WORTH READING.
Deeds and Dreams.

Young John Jones sat down and dreamed
OF the things he meant to do;
And the way his fancy schemed
Gave his thoughts rosy hue.
II am going to be great"
Said young John Jones;
Master great affairs of state
Said young John jones'
Kings and queens on me shall walt"
SAID young John Jones'
Young Bill Brown got down to work
In q corner grocery store;
And he hustled like Turk
TIL his master paid him more.
Il don't know what may do
Said young Bill Brown;
But what can I'm going to-
Said young Bill Brown:
And guess I'll get my due
said young Bill Brown.
Young John Jones still thought and thought
or his futures howsry ways.
And his fruitful fancy caught
Notes OF many nations praise.
So he dreamed and dreamed and dreamed,
Did young John Jones;
And brilliant boy he seemed.
Did young John Jones:
And bright young man was deemed.
Was young John Jones.
1Oung BIZ Brown Just pegRed along,
Learning something every day,
Cheering comrades with a song,
Drawing large and larger pay.
He was rather commonplace,
Was young Bill Brown:
But he had an earnest face,
Had young Bill Brown:
And he hit a steady pace,
Did young Bill Brown.
Old Jack Jones somehow has failed
To achieve the shining height
Which his youthful dreams assailed
With such fancitul delight.
Couldn't reach III top somehow.
Could old Jach jones'
Fame has never famed his brow,
Not old Jack Jones;
And he's poor and friondless now,
Is old Jack Jones.

WASHING OUT GOLD.
An Alaska Mining Promoter Tells of
Cape NOme's Richness.

Cape NOme's Richness.
A number of Western men interested
in various enterprises were in the city
en- route East yesterday, among them
John f. Dore, of Seattle, one of the most
prominent Alaskan mining promoters on
the coast. He arrived on a morning
coast train, and left last night for Chi
cago on his way to New York. Speaking
of the present outlook in the gold fields
and prospects for next season, he said:
1.-THE Yukon and the gold fields be-
yond White Pass will cease to be the
center of operations after the opening
Of the season. The new discoveries at
Cape Nome and the richness of the beach
diggings has thrown everything else in
the shade, and I think myself that the
excitement at the opening next season
over these diggings will equal that which
resulted from the Klondike finds. There
is gold there in large quantities. 1 am
interested in several diggings which are
paying well, with prospects of richer
finds when we can get improved ma
chinery into the field and work the de-
posits with less labor and expense. Even
with pan and shovel many miners have
pulled out immense sums. The Cane
Nome discoveries are fully as rich in
pay dirt as any yet found. This being
true. and the fact that the sands are
worked much cheaper and with less la
Dor than the gold deposits of other parts
of Alaska, will result in a tremendous
Influx. Almost any man can get gold
there.
Several companies are contracting for
machinery which will be sent there next
year, with which the sands can be rap
idly worked, with as much thoroughness
as with the pan. i expect that next sea-
sons shipments Will easily double, prob
ably triple those of this year.

bar, whore he was unknown, and placing
a IS note, issued by the Bank Of Com
MERGE Toronto, for use at it's Yukon
branch, on the bar and ordering refresh
ments for himself and a friend. The
note bore the usual design, in addition
to which across It's face in two places
appeared the words yukon" in bold,
black type. At first glance the note APP
peared to be spurious.
The bartender looked at the note and
then al the man, and finally observed,
doubtfully:
you don't look like man who would
try to skin me-
With that he took the money and plac-
ed the drinks.
The Yukon notes were the first which
have appeared in St. Paul Owing to the
fact that Canadian financial laws do not
prohibit bank or individual from stamp
ing a note, the currency with the Yukon
mark is legal tender and perfectly good.
United States laws make different pro-
vision.
