A cargo of corn sent by "The Chris

India several months ago on the steam

those who most needed it. This gl1t

Hindoo, watching the issue OF the corn,
asked whether it was sent out OF pure
charity: and when told that it was. re-

The fact is, the sending OF tins corn

at Bombay, writes that the railroads
which carried the corn from the ''1ul-

Halloween Love Tests.

The most common and most peculiar
ways of making matrimonial forecasts
is by means of roasting nuts, says
Phebe Westcott Humphreys in October
Woman's Home Companion. Two nuts
are placed side by side and named for
the person trying and the preferred
lover or "loveress." If they burn
quickly and brightly, it means sincerity
and affection; cracking and jumping
away mean INCONSISTENCY. If they burn
together happy marriage is indicated.
Another trial is to name two nuts and
then throw them into the fire. If one
of the nuts should burst, the person for
whom it is named is not sincerely at
fectionate: but if it is reduced to ashes
a warm feeling is betokened. Perplex-
ity comes to the poor maiden whose
nuts both burn to ashes unless her
feelings help her to give the prefer
eQce.

William Hill Wilson, one of the best informed operators of the district, es
 inmates the past seasons gold output i of Giolovin bay at S4OO,0O0. Under any thing like favorable conditions, he says, 1 it would have been at least double that amount. The creeks contributing this Fmaterial addition to the worlds wealth { are: Crooked, EIkhorn, Sweetcake, Gold Bottom, Ophir, Warm and Melsing, in the order named. Crooked, while prob ably no richer than some of the others 1 enumerated, yielded better than the rest. Gold Bottom Mr. Wilson regards as a particularly promising stream from a wealth producing standpoint.
 ] The skagway Alaskan says the fact ithat the northern country is being de- veloped by Americans is again shown ! in the vote cast in the Nuggets presi, dential contest in Dawson. At that ] contest there were 3337 votes polled. Only American citizens were given the right of franchise. At the territorial election held on Oct. 17th for members of the Yukon council, after a vigorous campaign in which every effort was made to bring out a full vote, there f were less than 15O0 votes polled. At this election British only We're permit 1 ted to vote Had there been the same inducement to get out the full strength of the Americans it is probable that the vote would be three to one as compared with the first election.

 pie can find in their home markets the necessary articles of daily consumption at reasonable cost and will be con tent to live permanently in the coun- try which will mean the great develop ment of gold properties and an in crease iu the output of the yellow met
 al. In connection with the develop mant of commerce of the Pacific, Alas ka is all important. It is my opinion that it should be urged upon the gener- 1. al government to fortify some harbor in the AIeutian islands to protect this interest in case of war. The resources of Alaska in fish are boundless and greater than the North sea and New foundland combined. All we want is to settle up that country with people who Sill stay and develop it in all of its natural resources and there will be no grander country in any part of the United States. Although the United States has owned Alaska for more than thirty years, only short time ago my command cut out the first wagon road from the Yukon river, This is what is needed as much as anything else in that country, that the interior may be reached and settled up by a people who will develop the country and create a large business on the Pacific coast. Three years ago the discovery of gold in the Kondike drew nearly all the Americans to British territory but since the discovery of the Nome fields large numbers are coming back. To make the roads of which have spoken it is necessary to do little more than cut the timber and in some places cut through the side of bluff. It will be no great CT job than it was in Wisconsin in ear ly days. It would be an excellent idea to have Scandinavian immigrants there. They are familiar with the conditions and in my reports to the department I have recommended that special in- ducements be offered in the way of free laud and an exemption from taxes for a stated period. The vaIleyo of the Yukon is richer than the valley of the Missouri and some day it's true worth will be appreciated. Ia almost all parts of. the Yukon you can ripen oats, wheat and all kinds of grain. Timothy I have seen standing four feet high and grow ing wild for miles around.

from the Westward voyage with ninety blue foxes, which he purchased and in tends turning loose on Patterson Is- lands. The valuable little animals were confined in wooden boxes and were all alive and kicking They occupied a portion of the main deck and had only to be carefully covered in wet weather to keep them in fine trim. They were purchased from Messrs. McPherson x Elk, of Peat's Island, Prince Williams Sound. Their future home consists of two little islands in Kasaan bay, we'll away from the main land The expert ment of breeding foxes so far south is regarded by many as exceedingly risky, it being supposed that the climate is too mild. They thrive best, apparent ly, where the winters are more severe. Mr. Scove, however, has now a number of animals on his islands and is con vinced that they are doing well. His operations will be watched with great interest.
 pr. J. N. Garner, special agent of the internal revenue department, was re gently in Skagway, having just come out from the interior, where he spent the. summer, and he thinks the Ameri- can mining laws are Tetagding the de- velopment of the American camps. He says the laws should provide for actual development work for at least three months each year in order to hold a claim. H9 thinks also that the power of attorney feature of the law should be.dispensed with. To an Alaskan re- porter Dr. Garner said: "WhiIe there is certainly gold on the Alaskan Yukon, and while there will be greater activity there next year than formerly, the de- velopment will not be what it would be | if the pernicions provisions for the To- cation of mining claims by power of at. torney were repealed For instance, people have rushed into the Panama this summer from Circle and elsewhere here and located claims for himself and friends, whose power of attorney he held. There is hardly man in Circle City who is not interested in one or more claims in the Tanana district. These people have done no work, aud while they say they will work their claims next year, the probabilities are that they are held for speculation. By this process a whole district can be held back for years, without much work being done. The annual assessment work for S1oo required, means about 10 days work in the Yukon, and claim can be held for from one to two years by man who has never seen it with out even this. Whenever men are re- quired to work claims, then will the real development of Alaskan mines commence.
 Col Ray, in a recent address at the regular meeting of the Alaska Geo graphical Society, held in Seattle, sum med up some of the natural advantages of this vast territory, as fellows: f'Ehe climate of Alaska is even better than on the great plains of Wyoming, Mon tana and parts of Nevada. In all parts of Alaska there are more hospitable winters They have no severe storms in the interior and in the dead of win ter horses and cattle can be worked without any danger of being frozen. People who go there think they will ex-
