induced to tell Of his strikel He said
he had been prospecting on Little Sheep
creek, which flows into an arm of Atlin
lake. He had found rich plaeers there
and also on another creek in the vicin-
ity. He filed two claims and went back
to his tribe followed by a trailing pro-
cession of stampeders.
There has also been a report that u
| white miner has been working a rich
placer on Pine creek, another tributary
to Atlin lake. and this has been enough
and Skaguay. The latest reports from
Attn say that there are 5000 men in
the region already. Pine creek itself is
some 30 miles long 1t has all been
staked as well as its ten tributaries.
The best claims were secured by those
whose were near at hand.
Taku Jack is sturdy, straight lock-
ed 600 pound Indian of the same semi
Mongolian cast of features characteris-
tic Of all the Alaskan tribes, but has a
quick eye, determined disposition and
an active mind. For three years he trav-
eled over the wilds of the Northwest
Territories as n member of the expedition
under William Ogilvie, the present Yu-
kon commissioner, at time when Ogil-
vie was making history as Dominion
surveyor. He is familiar with the to-
Biography of northern British Columbia
and the Northwest Territories and
knows how to make map and explain
the geographical contour of his native
soil.
The game that abounds in the Lake
Atlin region has from time out of mind
afforded the ancestors Of Taku Jack a
sumptuous means Of existence and the
Indians never gave q thought to the
subject Of whether the ground contain
ed precious minerals
While Taku Jack was at Skaguay he
was persuaded to draw map of the
region, and he did it with considerable
skill As finishing touch, he drew a
dotted line from Sliaguay TO Lake Ben
nett and labeled it ''Zic Zie. He was
asked what "Zie Zic" meant.
"lndian name for railroad, said
Chief Taku.
Ii might be parenthetically remarked
that while Taku Jack speaks English
readily and with considerable huency
he injects great many strong words
into his conversation. He rolls out the
words with energy and emphasis with
out relaxing IA muscle Of his stony face,
giving the impression that he believes
the adjectives imperative 70 compre-
hensive and genteel expression of gem
eral ideas. He learned the language
while associating with surveyors.
1t is probable that Chief Taku win
be quite celebrity among the thou
sands who will pour into the arctic
region next spring. @. j. BowDEN.

ATLIN'S GOLDF'IELD.
NEW TERRITORY TO WHICH ALASKAN
PRosPEcToRs HAVE STAMPEpED.

IL IL Much More Accessible Than
Dawson city and Better Place TO
Live In--Discovery Made by Tnlsu
Jack, an Indian Chief.
The discovery Of gold in the vicinity
Of Atlin lake has opened up new gold
field, toward which the bulk of the COM
ing spring rush to Alaska will probably
be directed.
There are several reasons why the
newly arrived argonauts will rather
try their luck around Atlin than
push on to the Klondike. In the first
place, Atlin is much more accessible.
Then 1t has not been prospccted thread
bare, as the country around Dawson
City has been, and adventurers always
like new field.
Atlin lake is about so miles long and
not more than four or five miles wide.
II is not far from the coast near Ben
nett. in British Columbian territory.
The railroad from Skaguay will be ex-
tended to Atlin this summer, it is ex-
pected, and the new camp will also be
connected with Dyea and Skaguay by
telegraph. The climate and the sur
roundings are by no means so severe as
they are in the Klondike. There is
plenty Of wild grass to support horses
and cows, and grain and vegetables can
be raised
Atlin lake is named for the tribe of
Indians who live along its shores
There are about 800 members of this
tribe, and they acknowledge as their
chief man whom the whites call Taku
Jack. Last August Taku Jack, who
had served as guide for many gold
hunters and exploring parties, took it
into his head to do some prospecting on
his own account Along last December
he appeared in Skaguay accompanied
by five members of his tribe and an
Italian of the name of Pelaccio The
Atlin chief went TO tho Skaguay bank
and exchanged for double eagles about
81, 900 worth of gold dust and nuggets.
At first he refused to say where he
had found his wealth, but he was finally

Simpson hospital at Fort Monroe, Va,
which he has so successfully conduct
ed, is model IN construction, comfort
and suitability.
In 1891 the colonel was sent by this
government to England to study the
Aldershot and Netley hospitals, where
sick soldiers from India are sent. This
laid the foundation of a method which
he applied in perfection to the Josiah
Simpson, probably the most scientific
military hospital on this continent.
1t is built in the form of a triangle,
with II wards, all separate buildings, on
the sides. The general kitchen, diet
kitchen and bakery are situated In the
angle. Covered porches connect the
wings, which are supplied with electric
lights hot and cold water, porcelain
bathtubs and a system of ventilation
well nigh faultless. A chapel and read
ing room are on the grounds for Sun
day service and weekday lounglng. A
postofIlce, telegraph, telephone, steam
laundry, dlsinfectng vat and a crema-
tory, where all refuse is burned, are
also on the premises. The women
nurses quarters supply three rooms to
each two women. Military discipline
is of course maintained.
Colonel Woodhull's greatest victory
was in adapting the site, regarded as
wholly worthless, to his uses. He sue
| ceeded in draining it admirably and
converting It into a wholly desirs bic
| location.
In addition to the Manila hospital
another will be established in Yoko-
| hama for the use Of convaiescents, anG

LINCULN'S COUSIN.
SAME NAME AND SAME AGE AS THE
MARrYREo PRESIDENT.

The Living Abraham Lincoln IL n
PennsyIVnnin Farmer and CIinEs
to the District settled by the Fore
fathers of the EmnncIpator.
The arrival OF the ninetieth anniver-
sary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln
adds interest to the fact that there Is
now living in Churchtown, Lancaster
county, Pa, an Abraham Lincoln who
Is of the same age as that which the
martyred president would have reached
had he survived. The present Abraham
Lincoln Is a cousin of the great presl-
dent
In general appearance he Is not un-
like his distinguished relative, having
the same large, erect, gaunt form and
high cheek bones. Mr.. Lincoln is a
farmer and owns an estate, White Hall,
in Caernarvon township, two miles
from the Berks county line.
While he never saw President Abra-
ham Lincoln he had communication
with him by letter when the martyr
president occupied the White House.
Mr.. Lincoln has never held any public
office. He has wife and a daughter.
He is a Republican.
| There are in eastern Pennsylvania a
number of relatives Of the emancipator.
Most of them are farmers, and the fam
lily resemblance Is strong. At Reading,
the capital city Of the Pennsylvania
German county of Berks, in a lot OF
ancient, musty and almost forgotten
records stored away in the courthouse,
are many interesting facts relating to
the Lincolns.
One thing not known by many in this
generation is that an Abraham Lincoln

and after the Revolutionary war. Down
