Conditions as They Exist in Klon.

GOOD CHANCES THERE YET
Letter to an Anaconda Man From a
Friend on Sulphur Creek Some
Dawson City Dance Hall
Poetry.

Conditions as they exist now in thu
Klondike are described by Lee II. Mar
tin in a letter to his friend. f. f. Sny-
der of this city. The letter was writ
ten Oct. Is on Sulphur creek, mailed
Oct. % at Dawson and was received
Yesterday.
Mr.. Martin is working on Billy
Strong's clam-No II below discovery
on Sulphur creek about 40 miles from
Dawson. and expects to stay there all
winter. The wages he is receiving
amount to 500 month and board, but
summer wages, he says, are 50 day
and board or 81 an hour without
board.
I'VE have been getting out wood and
cabin logs for the last month, he
writes, land have plenty of snow now
to haul them from the hillside. 1t
showed last Thursday all day and we
have about a foot of snow now, but the
weather is very mild yet. OF course, we
don't notice zero weather here, as
there isn't any wind with it. The old
Yukon will soon be frozen up and peo-
pie will be going out on the ice"
Mr.. Martin is enthusiastic over the
country. He says he has encountered
no real hardshps as yet and believes
there is chance to make big money
| by taking a lay on claim. Some
| idea Of the cost of living in the klon-
| dixie may be gained from the following
| para graph from the letter:
Il was over to Dawson a few days
| ago and the trip cost me $3.50. 1t costs
! 50 for supper. bed and breakfast at a
| road house, and it costs a man some
| thing for a winter supply of clothes in
| here. Everything costs just about five
times what it does on Puget sound, SO
| you can judge what a pair of shoes
/ or mittens is, worth in here"
| Mr.. Martin ncloses a clipping from

be more truth than poetry. The clip

CHRISTMAS At ST. PhUl'S,


The soemnity If the divine services
for Christmas day to be held at St.
Pauls Catholic church, fairly promises
to eclipse everything ever witnessed on
such an occasion in Anaconda. Thanks
to the proverbial generosity of the
members of the church, the altar deco
ratons will be superb.
Special musical talent has been Sc
cured for the occasion. The rendition
of Won La Haches chorus mass will
undoubtedly be a genuine musical treat.
Miss Molle Hogan will preside at the
organ. Won La Hache's mass is so ad-
mirably inspired by a heart full of
Christian enthusiasm that no one, with
ears to hear, can resist the magic eff
feet of that world-known musical pro-
duction One of the most unique feat
ures, however, will be the rendition OF

What Two Clergymen Say of Them
and DOan'S Backache K dney Pills.

This valuable medicine is for the
kidneys and urinary organs only, and
does not claim to cure all kinds Of dis
eases. 1t is an honest medicine, and
that is why SO many clergymen en-
dorse it. No kidney sufferer can afford
to disregard what these TWO clergymen
say:
Rev. a Berry, residence S4S West
High street, Lima, Ohio, testifies:
4 can speak highly Of Doan's Back
ache Kidney Pills as a kidney remedy.
Years ago l was troubled with back
ache, but latterly l have not been so
much afflicted with it, but, / presume,
for Is years / have been compelled to
get up several times during the night
and at frequent intervals during the
day there was an inclination to urin-
ate. There were deposits of a reddish
color, resembling brick dust, which by
irritating, may have produced these re-
suits. [ procured Doan's Backache Kid
ney Pills at drug store, and began
using them, and I am pleased to say
that they relieved me promptly. Now

get up once during the night. / cam re-
tire feeling confident that / can sleep

burning sensations. lnSy seem TO nave
been especially adapted to my case. 1
cannot conceive of any remedy exist
ing possessing greater merits Or pro-
ducing more positive results with no
weakening effects. l feel inclined to
go out of my way to recommend them.
and in every instance where troubles
like mine occur | shall strongly advise
their USE
Rev. r. e. Darling, residence 664
Grove avenue, JohnstOwn, Pa, testi-
fies:
''On the principle of doing as we
would be done by l am glad to say
believe Doan's Backache Kidney Pills
to be a beneficial remedy for kidney
ailment. My case was by no means a
severe one, but, | know what neglect
in many cases leads to- Therefore,
when l learned about Doan's Backache
Kidney Pills, / procured some. Their
use was followed by speedy ending Of

PARIS, March 2S.-Queen Ranavalo
arrived at Marseilles a few days ago,
and she is now on her way to Algiers
She is accompanied by a suite Of eight
persons-her sister, aunt, niece, private
secretary and four servants. The read
er may remember under what condi-
tons the Queen had to leave Tanana-
against the French, and was sent to
Reunion, but the proximity of NADIA
gascar rendered her presence there
dangerous, and she was ordered to be
removed to Algeria. Her majesty re-
ceived the news with the greatest sur
prise, but she bore up against it with
resignation.

BRIGHT PROSPECTS
Promise that Present Good
Times will Continue.
The Industrial Situation of the Uni
ted States cussed-Eusiness
Conditions are Sound-Trusts.

LONDON, March 25.-The Statist
prints a prominent article of a rose
ate hue, from it's special correspondent
in America, during the course of which
he says:
Never before have business condi-
ent. One of the best indications of the
present prosperity is the increase of
money in circulation. The position of
the railway industry is another strong
evidence of the existing prosperity.
The railway OUTLAWS will insure activ-
ity in the iron and steel trades for
months to come besides giving in
creased work to other trades and upon
the railways demands other inquiries
are increasing"
The writer speaks of the expansion
of the cotton and wool industries and
says: industrial activity for at least
year is assured, and, if the crops are
moderately good, for a much longer
period
stocks, the correspondent of the Statist
thinks that even if the crops are poor
there may not be serious pressure to
sell, in view of the manufacturing ac-
tivity and the prosperous condition of
the farmers; while, if the crops are
good prices may go stiII higher.
Speaking of trusts he says: THE
fear is that the syndicates concerned
hold more shares than they can con-
veniently carry out, and in that event
there will be a serious setback in
prices and trouble will result, which
will react on the railroad market.
The danger, however. does not appear
to be immediate, though the position
of the American industrial securities
requires to be watched"
