CAPE MONIES GOLDEN SANDS.
Most Aurng Gold Field in the world Will be Open to Miners Within Few Weeks

cred gold in the sand at his feet He whis- pered the word to a friend or two, who were in the same predicament, and the nlews spread so swiftly that within a few hours all the unemployed were at work on the ibealch with any and all kinds of instru- ments. that could be used in digging.
 Their success was more than any one had anticipated Never in the world had such easy mining been heard of, never had gold been foound so unexpectedly and so opportunely, and 1t was not many days before most of the older claims were de- serted for the seashore.
 Although the beach-combers, as they are called, continued at their work unitl win ter se i'm, they had apparently made no impression upon the vast shore of gold that lay upon the beach. It is impossible to de- etermine just how much gold was taken out during that time, from July to October, but it Is known that the bealch-combers alone were able to turn out about $20 000 a day. Of course in the nature of things this can- not continue indefinitely, but when the gold deposit on the beach has been ex- hausted the men will go to work again on the numerous claims lying back from the sea and along the creeks.
 The natural features of the Cape Nome district are divided into three regions: The beach, tundra, and mountains. Gold is found in each of these formations The beach of golden sands stretches away com- pa.rartively straight and smooth for miles and the precious metal found in this region undoubtedly came originally from the mountalns. It was probably washed out of the disintegTated rocks and found lodge ment in the sands of the beach as the wa ters carried the metal seaward.
 Along this beach the gold Is quite fine, having been reduced by the action of the waves upon the sands ito 'tlle size of bird shot or even finer. As the gold is consider ably heavier tlran the sand lit has worked down into it, and most of it is found under two or lthree feet of sand, resting upon the

BEAR DISTURBANCE IN STOCK MARKET Their Worried Condition of Mind

 Price of Sugar
SOME VIOLENT RECOVERIES

New York March S.-The feature of the stock market was the disturbed eondl- tion of mind manifested by the bears, whose demands for stock to cover short contracts worked some violent recoveries fin the industrdals and speciality departments of the market.
 This influence was first evident in Third Avenue. which bounded up 8 points on the belief that financial assistance had been secured to rehabtlasate the property. The short account in Sugar again gave signs of being over-eNtended, and after falling to near s3 the quotations touched 1O1% in the late dealings. A decline an the price of raw sugar, thus widening the gap be- tween the cost of the raw and refined su- gars, was influence. The movement in these stocks had sympathetic influence upon other dndust1tals and there were general recoveries from the opening weakness dur ing the first hour. period of dullness and heaviness succeeded while waating for tEe bank statement, and upon the publica- tion of the statement the market displayed increasing animation and strength until the close, which was generally at the top and at net gains in nearly all stocks.

COTTON MARKET TAKEN BY SURPRISE English Cables Told of Wild Ex-
 citement in Liverpool. BIG ADVANCE IN FUTURES The Market Was Very Irregular and Subject to Violent Fluctuations
 Decline Was Followed by
 a Complete Rally

New York, March 3.-The cotton market was taken completely by surprise by the action of the Liverpool market this morn ing. As the latest phases of our market yesterday were all weak, it was expected that the English cables would show suita- ble response. But instead of being lower they showed an advance at Liverpool of 61s to 11S-64th on the future list, and an ad- vance of 3-32d on the spot schedule.
 The immediate result here was an ad- vance of 16 to 19 points on the summer po- sttions and to 10 points on the new crop months. Private cables stated that the English market had advanced on covering following a heavy failure on the continent and heavy buying by spinning interests, notably by the heaviest cotton manufactur- ing concern in England. Private cables in- dicate that the widest excitement prevailed in Europe with sellers scarce and covering and investment demand heavy. Our market after the opening call was very irregular, with frequent violent fluctuations, the main swings being decline of to points fol- lowed by a complete rally and at Il o'clock a net rise of 10 to g points for middling up- lands and 1-16 for middlng gulf. The market for futures closed steady with prices, net, to IS points higher.

hard bottom ttat Is known to miners as "bedroclx.''
 Extending back from the shore Is e coastltne cliff which rises att spots about thirty feet above sea level. It slopes gently upward until at the base of the mounltain. for four or five miles from the beach, 1t has an elevation of f,rom 150 to 200 feet. This is the tundra zone, which Is traversed by the rivers and small streams that flow from the mountains to the sea.
 Up to the present time the beach comb ing has been the most profitable form of mining. The tundra, which Is composed of gravel, has been prospected to some extent, but up to this time 1t has yielded only from 10 to 30 cents a pan. It is, therefore, be- 1ieved that large capital will be required if this Stone is to be mined with profit.
 The future of Cape Nome gold min- dng territory will depend upon the noun tains, and it is believed that gold is there in vast quantities as all the metal that has been found on the beach or in the tundra must have come from these hills.
 Last summer the diggings were extended into many of the gulohes through which the mountain streams flow, and there the miners will continue their work in the sprng. Tn these gulches the diggings are coarse gold and the largest nuggets are worth about $35O each To obtain this gold it is necessary for the miners to dig down to tine clay under the creek gravels, which are six to eight feet in thickness The fact that Discovery Claim on Anvil Creek pro- duoed S225 900 last summer and that several other claims yielded nearly as much indi- cates the richness of the territory.
 AS dnformation to the prospective miner will be of interest it may be noted that the distance direct to Cape Nome from San Francisco Is about 2,S0O miles, while 1t is about 2,3O0 miles from Seattle or Taco ma- What the fare win be next season can- mot be foretold, but last summer it cost from $60 to $75 to go from the Pacific ports to St. Michaels', and the fare from that pont to Nome, a distance of about 135 miles

ONLY A SUGGESTION
Butit Has Proven of Interest and Value
 to Thousands

Common sense would suggest that If one wishes to become ieshy and plump 1t can only result from the food we eat and digest and that food should be albuminous or flesh forming food, like eggs, beel0steak and cer- calls; in other words, the kinds of food thai make flesh are the foods which form the greater part of our daily bills of fare.
 But the trouble is that while we eat enough, and generally too much the stom- ach, from abuse and overworl, does not properly digest and assimilate it. which ia tine reason so many people remain thin and under weight: the digestive organs do not completely digest the flesh forming beef steak and eggs and similar wholesome food.
 There are thousands of such who are really confirmed dyspeptics, although they may have no particular pain or inconven- fence from their stomachs. ''
 If such persons would lay their prejudices aside and make regular practice of taking, after each meal, one or two of StuartS Dyspepsia Tablets the food would be qllicks ly and thoroughly dagested because these tablets contain the natural peptones and diastase which every weak stomach lacks, and by supplying this want the stomach is soon enabled to regain It's natural tone and vigor.

Fifis. of course,e Is the great inducement, but another point that appeals to the minds Of those who are contemplating such a trip Is the ease with which tine land of gold can be reached The trip to the Klondike was one that tried the strongest hearts, and many were the lives that were lost along. the long trail, but those who make the trip to Cape Nome will have no such hardships to endure.

was some S20 more. It Is probable that the ralte,s tg,is year will not be much an ex- cess of the charges last summer
 Of course 1t is also impossible to pre- dict as to the prospective miners chance of becoming a millionaire There Is no question but that there Is gold at cape Nome and that some of those wno go to that region will find wealth as reward.
 If Is also quite as reasonable to predict that others will fall, and the man who goes to that section with the expectation Of es- captng all hardships will be sorely disap- pointed It Is not the intention of your cor respondent, therefore, to give any anvlce on the matter. Those who have been ae- taclxed by the gold fewer would go to Nome in spite of aM that might be said. while phose who are contented to renatn at home would probably take little interest in such hard luck as might be told or words or caution that might be uttered.

The most remarkable gold field in the world, if not the most extensive that has been known in the history of gold mining, is lying beneath dts covering of snow and ice waiting for the miners who will surely present themselves as soon as the spring sun shall have opened the country to them. Already more than three thousand men are on the spot. Some of them were partici- pants in the brief harvest that made last summer memorable, but most of them ar rlved just before the winter SHOWS made further mining impossible.
 : All along the northwest Pacific coast thousands of other men are waiting, and within the next few weeks another army of gold seekers will arrive. The probability thait a steamer wtll sail for Alaska before May is extremely remote, but the knowl- edge of this fact does not discourage those who are so eager to get to the land of promise. Every day more of these pilgrims of fortune descend upon the ponts of the Pacific and announce their determination to take the first steamer for the golden lands of the north.
 Already there are enough men in wait ing to require a fleet for their transpouta- tion. How they will all manage ito reach the gold fields when the season opens is somewhat of a mystery.
 Of course everyone remembers the rush that followed the announcement that gold had been found in the Klondike, but there is every indication that the descent upon Cape Nome next summer will Ibe three times as great. The one thing that attracts the adventurous is, of course, the gold. and there can be no question that the Klondike in its best days never offered better in- ducements
 In the Klondike the mining was carried on under most unfavorable circumstances, while at Cape Nome the bulk of the gold that was harvested last summer was sim ply combed out of the sands of the beach.

 ] The first discovery of gold at Cape Nome was made in September, 1898, when a party of Swedes found the precious metal on the creeks and in the gulches. As soon the dis covery was announced a large party of miners who had been stranded at St. Mbdhaels, Alaska hurried over to the new gold fields, where they ebther secured work or stalked claims. Methods of proving claims at this time were not as perfect as they have since become. and as the re- suit there was considerable unpbeasantness among those who were compelled to camp on tine beach.

 As two jackals and a fox were hraveins in company they came upon dead cnlcken lying on the ground, and at once there was a auarrel between the jaclkals as to which should have the prize They finally settled it by dividing the chicken between them, leaving the fox entirely out of the affair. An owl who had observed the proceedings asked the fox:
 "But where do you come into this thing. MT. Reynard?
 "Oh I take my share in natural philoso- phy," replied the fox. Firstly, that chicken was killed and placed here for an object. Secondly, the body was poisoned, and thirdy there go those jackals tumbling about and making their last kicks.
 And may say further" observed Rey- nard. as fne scratched his ear with his paw. '.that when you are offered something for nothing it's a good idea to let somebody else sample 1t first"
 A woodman who was passing through the forest came upon bear who was rolling over and over on the ground and uttering the most dismal complaints. Bruin had one eye closed, and was covered from head to heels with Jumps and knobs and knots.
 "What cheer?" gayly cried the woodman, as he drew near.
 "Bees! moaned the bear.
