spirit Island,''

BY the far north shore of this lake
there is a green island which the In
dams long ago named Spirit Land. You
may see it easily from the steamer any
clear summer day. Thousands upon
thousands of gulls make their home
upon this island. At some seasons of
the year there are so many of them
that they fairly make paths in the
grasses down near the edge of the lake.
The Indians, though they should know
better because of their wonderful
woodcraft and their knowledge of the
habits of birds and animals, have be-
lieved for hundreds of years so their
traditions tell, that these paths are
by the spirits of the dead, and
they will never, under any circum-
stances visit this island. The tradi-
ton has become a truth to them, and
the present day Indians who live
in the region will never disembark on
this mysterious shore, but will reyer-
emily and ~awesomely guide their ca
noes away from the pine-clad place and
leave 1t to the Spirits and to the
beautiful white gulls.-W. S. Harwood,
in March st. Nicholas.

Eager for Gold,

Nicaragua boasts a volcano called
Misaya, about which a curious but
hardly credible story is told. When. in
l522, the Spaniards overrun the state
the volcano was very lively. MANY of
the victorious Spani~rds thought that
the raging fire at the foot of the crater
was neither more nor less than purcst
gold in molten state. The puzzle was
how to get it. But at last a few men
more foolish and more venturesomo
than their mates. had themselves low
cred down until, by means of an iron
chain with a bucket at the end of IL,
they could reach the fiery mass. or
course, as soon as the bucket neared
the surface 1t was melted in a moment.
and the silly fellows, when drawn up,
were half dead from the heat and the
poisonous smoke.

say, how is it that modern maidens are

but she has not yet made positive her
possession of the stake. Haskell
Wood was married to Marion Reming-
ton at Providence three years age.
Wood was away from home a great
deal OF the time and his parents,
wealthy residents of Cambridge,
thought that she received too many
male callers during his absence. At
length they caused a separation OF the
young couple and their son went West.
Last December. at the instigation Of
his parents, he filed a petition for di-
rorce at Pekin, III. When young Mrs.
Wood heard of the proceeding she
started at once for Pekln. Her mother
in-law discovered her put pose. how

lett Boston the same day, but by diff

the better time and had effected a re.

GOOD PROSPECTS
For Two Hard Working Miners in
The Barreal.

A. j. King and j. A. Jones, the po-
pular mining men from the Barreal
District, came up from their properties
yesterday evening. Mr.. Jones Is on his
way to Los Angeles TO see his wife who
Is sick at that place. Mr.. King says
they have within the pact week made
a new strike of considerable import
ance in the third shaft which they are
now sinking. They have been hndfpR
good silver and copper ore all the way
down but they have been finding tie
vein exceedingly rich the deeper they
60, and are now at a depth of sixty
five feet. The grade OF the ore has
been improving with depth at such .
rate a. to justify q belief that it will
be found wond. riuIly rich still farther
down. They have already taken ont
silver ore from this shaft that assays
/. $50 ounces to the ton. In another II
their shafts they took out ore assayine
1lS ounces Of silver to the ton. IL the
grace of the ore In the present sha t
CO itint es increasing as rapidly As
heretofore they WILL without doubt
find richer ore in this one than In the
other a. the same depth. Messrs. King
& Jones are hard working men and
have q lied for years against adver-
sites and no matter how rich thew
strike it in the BArreals they will
ever ct more than they deserve.

WAT A FORMER AMERICAN
SAYS.
Doubled Their Cultivated Lands and
Moro Than Doubled Their =;
Stock. r.:

The following letter written by Mr..
John Cummings of Wetaskiwin, Al
berta, Canada, formerly of Washing
ton, to a friend in the United States is
ONLY one of a hundred similar cases,
and what was done by Mr.. Cummings
can more easily be done to-day by any
good, sober and Industrious farmer who
chooses to make his home in the Do
minion. 80
Dear Sir: -
You want to know how 1 got along
since 1 came into Northern Alberta. |
am happy to inform you that l am not
ashamed to tell.
We located five miles northeast of
Wetaskiwin; left Pennington. Wash
ington, on the goth of May, driving all
the way.
We had time to build our log house
the first fall and to make us comfort
able for the family and stock. We then
built four stables 1Sx2O inside, SO that
we could put everything inside them
when the cold got down to the fifties,
and worked hard getting up the stable
and got through clubbing on the list
December, but to our surprise we had
no use for the stables only for the milk
cow and two span of horses. The bal
ance of the horses lived on the prai-
RE all winter and took care of them
selves. The doors of two stables Were
left open for them to go into in cold
time, but they would not do it, but
stayed out on the prairie the coolest
night we had, and looked as spry as
crickets.
I can go ten rods back of my house
and count ten residents. I know all OF
their circumstances. Every one OF
them have doubled their cultivated land
and doubled their animals, and great
deal more. All of us are comparative
ly out of debt and an unusually big
crop to thresh and prospects of fair
price, and expect we are as well con-
tented lot of people as there are from
Florida to the Klondike.
My son bought two pounds of twine
to the acre, and when we started to bind
some barley, we found that instead Of
taking two pounds to the acre, it was
taking nearly five pounds. Then you
ought to have seen him hitch up team
and make for town for 100 lbs. more.
cannot say how it will thresh. All ]
can say is that it is well headed, and
takes an enormous amount of twine.

that the charters be revoked and the
concerns driven out of the state. just
what the board will do has not been
determined
