To Dredge Cape Nome.

At Cape Nome, Alaska, an exper-
iment in beach mining will be made
this year with the dredger. 1t will
be the first time for dredger to be
used in this branch of gold mining,
and yet the adaptability of the ma
chine for this kind of work ought to
have suggested itself long ago.
Much of the auriferous ground on
the Cape Nome beaches is said to
be unworkable now because of the
tides which often swamp the excava-
tions of the miners. A dredge will
however, be able to work ground
which cannot be reached by the
present system of mining at Cape
Nome, because submerged; and if
the pay dirt extends seaward indcf-
nitely, as it is supposed to do, there
will be work for the dredyer long
after the dry beach diggings will
have been worked out

You can bet it is always a fool for
luck" said the man who has had his
nose to the grindstone all his life.
Now, there was Jack Shane of Ten
nessee, who drew S25,OOO in lottery.
Jack didn't know enough to go in out
of the wet, but he had little money,
and he bought ticket that won, while
] got ten and didn't fetch a cent The
winning number was -, and when
saw Jack ! asked him how he happen
ed to take that number. Well he
said, you see, it was this way: | had a
dream one night, and | dreamed that
the door of my room opened all of
sudden and a big number seven walked
in. Then right after it came other sew
ems and more and more till the room
was chuck full and was about smoth-
cred under them. Then | woke up and
began thinking 1t over. | knOwed that
one seven wasn't the number to draw
nor II nor It'll for there was a mil
lion of them, and no lottery had that
many numbers. But figured awhile
and at last made up my mind that sew
en- times seven was AZ, and ~ was the
number, so | draw that one. That
was all there was to it,
"Now," concluded the talker, ''if that
isn't case of a fool for luck what the
dickens is it?'-Washington Star.

SOMEONE SHE CAN LICK.

Senator Mason of Illinois is hav-
ing lots of fun stirring up the sym,
pathizers of Great Britain on the
African question. He condemns in
scathing terms the policy of the so
called mother country in looking al
ways for an inferior nation on which
she can jump for purposes of plund-
er. By this rebuke, the senator is
not only at variance with the admin
istration, but is proving himself
about as vicious pitchfork man as
Senator Tillman. The republicans
of Chicago have asked for his resig-
nation, but at last accounts he had
not yet written that document.

BETTER HIRE A MULE.

People who have troubles are all
looking for someone to sympathize
with them, says an exchange. Some
think that editors should bear share
of their burdens, and are ever ready
to unload tale of woe. We have
gone out of the calamity business.
Our fountain has gone dry and we
have no tears to shed. We have quit
training for the pugilistic arena. Our
sand has leaked out of our craw and
our shoulder is too fragile for chips.
Tell your story to some one else, and
if you have any kick to register, hire
a mule.

The most savage specimen Of the
crab species Is found in Japan. seeming
to dream Of nothing but hghtlng-to
delight in nothing half so much The
minute he spies another Of his kind he
scrapes his claws together in rage,
challenging him to the combat. Not Il
moment is wasted in preliminaries, but
at it they go, hammer and tongs. 1t
sounds like two rocks grinding against
one another as their claws rattle
against the hard shells The sand flies
as the warriors push each other hither
and thither until at last one of them
stretches himself out in the sun, tired
to death.
But he does not beg for mercy or at
tempt to run away, only feebly rubbing
his claws together in defiance Of the
foe That foe comes closer, and, with
his claws trembling with JOY at his vic
tory, the conqueror catches hold Of one
claw of the vanquished crab, twists 1t
until it comes off, and bears away the
palpitating limb as a trophy of his
prowess. Such is n battle between
warrior crabs.

LIGHT ON THE SUBJECT.

Mr.. Rockefeller told the investi-
eating committee that the people of
the United States use about l,O00,-
600 gallons of oil per year. That
ought to be enough to throw con-
siderable light on the operations of
the trust, and also to account for its
apparently smooth working.

AN IMPORTANT PORT.

Cyrus c. Adams, a well-&nown
authority on African topics, writing
on the subject of Delagoa bay in a
late number of Harper's Weekly,
says: 1T is surprising that not un-
til now has attention been centered
upon Delagoa bay as source OF
pre- eminent advantage to the Beers.
If the facts now known had not been
skillfully concealed, Deiagoa bay
would long ago have been the talk
of the world. Not a month has
passed since the ridiculous collapse
of the Jameson raid at Kruegerdorp,
in January, 1896, that all kinds of
war munitions have not arrived in
Delagoa bay for transhipment to
Pretoria. In 1897 alone the Trans
vaal government expended for war
purposes the sum of 81, 1000,
most of which was invested in rifles,
cannon and ammunition, which pass
ed unchallenged through the Portu-
guese port of Lourenzo Marquee.
The Transvaal has made Delagoa
bay the inlet for its war materials as
completely as though its own flag
foated over it. DIR. Leyds, the
agent of the South African Repub-
lie in Europe, says that the store of
munitions in the hands of his coun-
trymen cannot be exhausted for sew
eral years. We are told that three
large warehouses and an armory at
Pretoria are packed to the caves
with rifles and ammunition, and that
each of the forts around the capital
and Johannesburg has an armament
of four large cannon and thirty
heavy Gatling guns.
"This is only part of the elabor-
ate preparations the Beers made for
the struggle they knew was impend-
ing; and nine-tenths of their enorm-
Gus purchases of war material has
come to them within the past four
years, through Delagoa bay. The
expenditure for forts in 1897 was
nearly $3,500,000 and the cannon
on the walls passed through the Por-
tuguese port we'll muffied and under
fictitious invoices. The salaries of
the war office at Pretoria were
S262,3l0, and much of this money
was absorbed by Europeans of mill
tary training, who taught the Beers
how to handle the quantities Of
French and German ordnance
mounted on the forts and guarding
the defles that lead up to the Trans
vaal plateau. 1t will thus be seen
that for years this bay and port have
been serving all the purposes of the
present foe of England.

LIKE PEACHES AND CREAM.

1t has been coldly remarked that
the standard of morality of this state
has never before reached the elevat-
ed plane it occupies today, and that
note of these conditions is timely.
The Paulist Fathers and various di-
vines have been holding their series
of revivals; the persons who expect
crate on the sidewalks of Helena are
in the east, and all the leading dem
ocrats are in Washington city. So
the righteous and editors walk the
streets unmolested while morality is
crowned in the thoroughfare. Even
the air about the Montana club be-
gins to SAVIOR as of peaches and
cream.
