Deafness Cannot Be C1,red

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness.
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition OF the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inhamed you have a rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed, Deafness is the result.
and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of
ten arc caused by Catarrh, which is
nothing but an infiamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.

without being prospected, began the
transportation of their supplies to the
cabins which they had built during
the fall. Some have dog teams but
most Of them draw their sleds by hand.
Those going over the Gold Bottom,
dominion, Sulphur, and other creeks
IN that region, have to travel about
thirty miles and ascend an elevation of
some 5000 feet. They are able to take
about 200 pounds at a time if they
have no dogs. Many of them, as they
cannot afford to stay over night at the
halfway house, make the journey
without sleeping, which takes about
sixteen hours. AS a rule they spend
about two weeks in getting their SUD-
plies to their cabins. Most of them
have taken a lay on some claims. They
are to get 40, 80 or go per cent of what
they take out according to the pros
poets of the claim.
STAMPEDES TO NEW FIELDS.
These creeks were staked in the
stampedes of last winter, and once a
man has his stakes in the ground he
returned to his cabin in Dawson or on
the working creeks and paid no more
attention to them. Generally the only
ground for believing that the new
creeks had paying dirt was their loca-
either to take a lay on one of these
claims, with all the chances it implied,
or go to work for So a day
Or they might hang around Dawson
and join in a stampede to the region of
any new strike. Even those who got
a good claim in this way have no pros
pect of realizing on it in two years.
They are almost certain to be broke
when spring comes. A claim must be
worked within d year after it is staked
or else it is forfeited to the govern
ment. Consequently next fall they
have to put up cabins, sink holes, and
thaw dirt, or else get a layman to do
it for them, and at any rate they can
not wash any dust out of their dumps
until a year from this spring.
This is precisely the position of the
stampeders of last winter at the be-
ginning of this winter. Some of them
had to sell their claims at the specu-
latfve value of 5000 or $500 in order to
get enough money to last them until
spring. There are a few newcomers !

bought such claims and found them
worth fifty times their cost. Most of
the laymen Will do we'll if they make
good days wages on the new creeks;
few will do much better. At any rate,
the total output Of the creeks means
millions for the United States minis.

will pay well to be worked by CHEAP

Ventilation, or rather the want of 1t,
must be difficulty in the underground

bit and the rat secure current of air
by forming bolt hole in connection
with their system of passages, but the
fox, the badger and many Of the field

such precaution. There is no doubt
that whatever gave the first impulse
to burrow, many animals look upon
this to us most unpleasant exertion as
a form of actual amusement. 1t also
confers right to property. ~
Prairie dogs constantly set to work
