A HOODOOED INNING CLAIn.
Every Owner of the Claim Has Died within One Year. Mr. Oliver Fountain the Last Victim.

Every Owner of the Claim Has Died within One
 Year. Mir. Oliver Fountain the Last Victim.
 MT. Oliver Fountain died in the Ju- neau hospital a short time ago, and a conversation that the deceased had with one of his friends not very long before his death will be interesting and raise the question whether mining claims are ever hoodooe6.
 MT. George NJ. Miller, of Juneau, a brother of the California poet and wrl- ter. became well acquainted with MT. Fountain. At one of these meetings, which occurred on the ferry coming from Juneau to this place, MT. Foun- tain told MT. Miller of mining claim he had. the ore of which was worth twelve dollars per ton. In speaking further of the claim, he said that the first Iocater of the claim died within year from the time he took it, and that the time for doing the assessment work having expired another man filed on the same and that he too died with in year from the time he had taken the claim.
 In reply to this MT. Miller told him ] that he wouldn't care for that kind of a claim.
 "Oh," says MT. Fountain, "the claims all right" but MT. Fountain also died within year from the time he laid claim to the property. MT. Miller, who informed us of this conversation, stated that Mir. Fountain did not ap, pear superstitious about the matter. ! It may have been only coincidence, but there will be many who will believe that the claim referred to is hoodooed We would suggest that some able bod, jed man take the claim and demonstrate to the people whether a man can own that claim year and live. The News will help bear his funeral expenses ii ! he dies.

A THING OF BEAUTY.
nISJ. B. Prathcr's New Work on Alaska and
 Alaska Views.

nISJB. Prather's New Work on Alaska and
 Alaska Views.
 "The Land of the Midnight Sun" Is the title of book that has just been published by Mir J. B. Prather, of this city. He has put in the greater portion of the time on this work for five years. gnd it must te a source of great satisfaction to him to know that his work has been we'll done and that he has issued one of the finest works of art that can come from the hands of the prcssman.
 Mir. Prather k a first class photog raphcr and all the views the book con taius are from negatives that he SC cured and are from every portion of Alaska and the great Northwest terri tory.
 Next after the title page iS splendid picture of the author dressed in fur clothing and cap with his faithful Win chester rifle in his hands, which is fol- lowed with a brief introduction.
 The first view is of Juneau, and is d splendid picture. The cuts are all made ivy the photo-engraving process, and by a firm i'll New York that took the first prize for that class of work at the Worlds Fair. The pictures of the icebergs, the One Thousand Islands, and the town of Sitka, including the interior of the Greek church. brings the reader to brief history of Alaska, which is followed by a birds-cye view of our own little city. Douglas. The next fourteen pictures are of the great Treadwell mines. stamp mills, railroads, etc. and of themselves are well worth the price of the book.
 This work of art contains pictures of Dawson City and the surrounding country. besides numerous gold claims near by. and the manner in which the mining is done The White Horse rap ids are beautifully Illustrated.
 No pen can do justice to the book. It must be seen to gain any correct idea of its value and beauty, and We predict for it an immense sale. Moth ing has yet appeared in Alaska and the Northwest territory that approaches it..

VORAClOUS LITTLE ROBINS.
Each Required Fourteen Yards OF
AnGIevOrms Every Day.

A would be philanthropist relates his
experiences trying to play mother to n
nest of little robins, which had by some
accident been deprived of their rightful
mothers care He diligently set to
work digging angleworms. and sup
posed that he was fulfilling his whole
duty, when one of the poor little songs
tiers died. Upon examination of the
body, which was reduced to skin and
bone, the foster parent came to the con-
clusion that it must have died of starry
alton.
Deeply grieyed at his shortening,
he redoubled his efforts. determined to
at least save the other two. 1t was not
long, however, before a second one died,
evidently of the same malady. The good
man then resolved that, whatever the
third one died of, it should not be
starvation, and took off his coat and
went to work in earnest. He kept on
with the angleworm diet until lac found
that his one little bird was consuming
from IA to 10 yards of angleworms n
day. This was too much for his pa
thence, and he proceeded to substitute
the more easily managed diet of bread
and milk and other delicacies, which
were, however, not nearly so much to
Miss Robins taste.
Wanting to discover whether he had
been catering to "A family of abnormal
appetites, our friend took to watching
the methods of a real mother bird and
found that she fed her young every two
minutes. He then consulted the learned
books upon birds and discovered that
IA yards of worms day, with meals
every two minutes, is the average rate
of feeding fiedgelings. He has therefore
decided that he does not care to take
up raising birds by hand as business.
