TO WAIT AT LABARGE
And Go Down on the first Steamer After the Ioe--Lettsr From Wal ter Coaltiey, of Rampant, as to Koyukuk Diggines.

The first party of the spring to arrive here en route to Koyukuk came In yester- day from the states, by the way of Ju- neau. ard will get away today or tomor- row for the interior. The members Of the party are Thomas N. Crawford. w. fl. Porter and T. D. Drew. They have spent several seasons In the interior, having been at Circle, Minook and Klondke. They claim Circle as their home point.
 The party will go down the lakes to La- BIrge and there take one of the first steam CTS to follow the Ice. The men have faith In Koyukuk and believe that lt m W prove one of the big camps of the north. Mr. Drew, while In company with his part ners last evening at the Mondamln, where they arc staying, said:
 "l received a letter while In Juneau a few days ago from Walter CoakIey, an old friend now on the Yukon. He wrote the letter at Rampant, February 22. Among other things he stated that the greater number of the people had left Ram. part and Circle in the stampede to Koyu- kuk.
 "Mr. Coaklev said also that man had just arrived there from Koyukuk and brought the report that three of the creeks have proved rich, and that they were ex> pected to turn out as good as any Tn the KlondIke. One of the creeks Is Myrtle. The names of the other two were moi given in the letter.
 "Messrs. Crawford and Porter and mv> self have known of the promise of Koyu- kuk for some time. Men who were ta- mlllar with the district and knew there was gold In the place laid low after the rush to that field three years ago. They did SO because the country had been plas- tered with location notices by power of attorney. Now that the power of aitor- ney on many claims then located there has expired, the men actually In the field have r-spened fhs dlstrict.-I They have passed law that no claim shall be longer than 500 feet and that no claim can be located by power of attorney. It Is miners law of the camp and 1t will hold. It Is good law"

Certainly she Is fine steamer, and since she has come on the Skagwav run again has been making very quick trips; tut people have their old favorltes among steamers as In regard to everything else. It Is, therefore. a surprise to find number of people bound for Seattle waiting for this comparatively new steamer to come In and take them there. Probably 1t Is because the officers of the boat have made such deep impression bv their care that every passenger shall be made comfortable and enjoy the trip.
 She will probably come in with a biz list today, as the Kallsh Bros., and espe- elallv w. C. Kallsh, the Seattle agents, arc courteous gentlemen and keen business men.

stories illustrating the power of i'm

one. 1t comes from a recent number
1ates an interesting experiment made
by Mr.. S1osson with the view of dem
onstrating how easily this faculty OF
imagination may be called into play.
In the course of popular lecture, Mr..
S1osson presented before his audience
a bottle which he uncorked with elab-
crate precautions, and then, watch in
the exact moment at which a peculiar
odor was perceived by them Within
fifteen seconds, those Immediately IN
front OF him held up their hands, and
within forty seconds, those at the
other end of the room declared that
they distinctly perceived the odor-
There was obstinate minority,
largely composed of men, who stOutly
declared their inability to detect any
odor, but MT S1osson believes that
many more would have given in, had
he not been compelled to bring the ex-
pertinent to a close within a minute
of opening the bottle, several persons
in the front rank finding the odOr SO
powerful that they hastily quilted the
room. The bottle contained nothing
but distilled water. 1t would be inter
esting to know the effect of the ex-
PLANTATION on the audience. but this
part of the story is Left to the imaginss
ton of the reader.

How a Little Boy was Saved.

Washington, D. &C When our
boy was about Is months old he broke
out with a rash which was thought to
be measles. In a few days lie had
swelling on the left side of his neck
and 1t was decided to be humps. He
was given medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor
said it was scrofula and ordered a
sa1ye- He wanted to lance the sore,
but would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about four
months when the bunch broke liz two
places and became a running sore.
Three doctors said it was scrofula and
each ordered blood medicine. a
nelghbor told me of case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla- j decided to
give it to my boy and in a short while
his health improved and his neck
healed SO nicely that i stopped giving
him the medicine. The sore broke
out again, however, whereupon again
gave him Hoods SarsapariIIa and its
persistent use has accomplished a COM
