PLACE TO GET HOUSE GIRLS.
Montana Has surplus That Might
He Secured to Fiji the acan-
c,.. ~ s..ttfs

The dearth of servant girls in Seattle
might be overcome by sending to Mon
tana, where there are scores of them look
ing for work What to- do with them Is
a question that is being agitated In Butte
and other cities throughout the state.
Thomas u. Lawrence, of the board OF
charities at Helena, Is n guest OF the But
Ter. IF you want any servant girls out
this way" he said last night, Just say the
word; but You will have to pay their fares.
"A year ago there was dearth OF serv-
ant girls in Montana. The employment
agencies were filled up with orders, and
how to supply them was serious question
They finally turned to the Twin City en-
ployrnent offices There was surplus
there and they were sent to Montana.
Now we have more in all parts Of the state
than we know what to do with. Wages
have been reduced and in some quarters
the girls are glad to work for a home"

Work IN WINTER At NOME
EIGHTEEN DOLLARS TO A SHOVEL
Full OF BEACH SAND.
to Freeze Down to the Bnr-Steam
Plant working Under Large Tent
Rich Where the Surf Breaks.

Eighteen dollars to shovelful of dirt
is reported from the beach seven miles
west of Nome, according to late advices
received on the steamship Cottage City.
This amount was taken out by A. Gordon
800 feet from the shore. Gordon and Il.
G.. Stanley are said to have been work.
ing the beach with a good deal of success
all fall and winter.
They determined to try the sand on the
bar 100 yards from shore They did so
by cutting through the ice. Some water
was encountered, but the first prospect
proved rich beyond their fondest hopes.
Gordon was at Nome recently purchas-
ing supplies for himself and party. He
says 1t will be no trouble to freeze DOWN
to the bar and he expects that the richest
kind of dirt will be found
There are many theories advanced as to
the deposit Of gold in the beach sands.
Gordon and many others believe that out
in the sea is a big ledge. from the erosion
of which is produced the rich sands found
on this coast.
Capt. Crane is working the beach sands
eight miles up the coast with a steam
thawing plant of large power. The ground
to be worked and the machinery are COW
cred by aox40 tent all work being done
under cover. The ground Is thawed, and
the sand rocked in the tent, the water
being kept at a proper temperature. Work
Is progressing sNceiientiy. Capt. crane
says the best pay is found where the surf
breaks on the beach.
Early in January in four pennyweights
of sediment he reports getting 80 cents in
gold. Capt. Crane expects to employ forty
men. and an area 20x3O feet can be thawed
daily and the sand rocked. As soon as
the spot covered by the tent is worked out
the tent and machinery will be moved to
another spot and work thus continued
steadily indoors, the wood haulers being
the only men on the outside.

Peter Bernard arrived at Nome Christ
mas day from futile attempt to cross
Boring strait TO Siberia. He found II i'm
possible to make the trip at this season of
the year, but he proposes to make another
attempt in February. when. he thinks
from what the natives tell him. a pass
age of the strait can be accomplished
The following particulars of terrible ex-
periences of travellers in a blizzard came
to the Post-Intelligencer on the steamer
Cottage City:
Mr.. Bernard brought down Frank Chap
diane from above Port Clarence. Chap
diane had both feet and his right hand
badly frozen He was taken to ST. Ber-
nard hospital. He win lose part OF his
right foot and the toes of his left foot
and his right thumb.
Chapdlane was one of party of six
men. the others being Pete Malone. Jerry
Sullivan, Tom Conley. A. Knight and
o. Cuisine. They were caught in bliz-
zard, and he was frostbitten while rolled
UP in his fur robe. Another of the party
fell into the water up to his neck. but
he was placed In n reindeer sleeping
bag and suffered little from his invol-
untary bath. The party finally reached
an Eskimo village. where everything pos
sible was done to relieve the injured
man. Mr. Bernard left Port Clarence De-
cember 49, thus making the trip in less
than two days.
He also met Capt, Charles Brouard De-
cember 16. and fears that Brouard was
lost in the blizzard which subsequently
ragged with great fury. DIR. Lucien Du-
pay, an eccentric Frenchman, who says
he Is making n trip around the world
was also met at cabin where he was
attending a sick man.
Mr.. Demands proposed trip to the ST.
berian coast was for the purpose of trad
ing with the natives. The Eskimo on
the Alaskan side of the strait say their
Tathers and grandfathers used to cross
the strait In February and March. but
there is no native living who has made
the trip in the winter season.
Mr.. Bernard and a companion named
Murphy, on the way up, were lost in
blizzard this side of Port Clarence They
were forced to make a hole I'm the snow
and wrapping themselves up. with their
dogs on top they tried to sleep Early
next morning Mr. Bernard again set out
and reached Port Clarence. Murphy ar
irving some hours later, his face and
hands being badly frozen. He remained at
Port Clarence. Another party of four
men were found travelling in circle. COM
pletely bewildered. They were taken to
Aldrich & Shea's road house.
Four dogs belonging to Frank Chap
diane were frozen to death in their
harness. Jesse James also lost four dogs
belonging to w. c. Beall The cold was
so intense and the wind so furious. Mr..
Bernard says. that some of the dogs ac-
tually jumped through the stove pipe hole
in a tent to the inside. The blizzard
lasted for eight days.

Ledge Near Port Clarence From
which Copper Was Taken.

Additional advices from Nome, under
date of January "a. state that a rich cop
per strike has been made in the Port Clar-
ence mining district. The ledge was To-
Gated by A. e. Marshall, and big chunks
of native copper have been found. How
extensive the ledge is has not been deter
mined.
Development work is now under way
A collaborating quartz ledge has also been
located by p. Malone and Charles Con-
molly in the same vicinity. In six samples
of outcroppings taken from the ledge ma
tive gold was easily discernible with the
naked eye. Some of the colors were as
large as a pinhead. It is the intention OF
the locators to prospect the ledge thor
oughly. 1t is said that little prospecting
has been done on the creeks. and that not
much is known concerning them.

A likely story is being circulat-
ed on the streets that several
public institutions and individuals
are going to attempt to sell the
old water works plant to the city,
if the Taxpayers ticket is elected
in this municipal campaign. The
story goes that the Colorado
State bank, the Mesa County
State bank, w. F. White and
David I. CLARK have purchased
and now own three per cont more
than controlling interest in the
old water company. This is real
ly joke in itself, but the people
who believe other people can be
fooled all the time, are telling it
in sober earnest. 1t is to be
hoped that they wont believe such
trash. 1t is to be hoped thst
they wont let themselves be
drawn into another old water
fight, in order that some men can
secure a seat In council. 1t has
been tacitly agreed among the
citizens of the town to let this
water fight rest. The people have
accepted it in good faith, there Is
no need or reason in attempting
to make capital out of that old
bugaboo longer. Men ought te
give anyone the horse laugh who
attempts to do business under thai
banner.

Trying to live other peol

Trying to live other peoples

want to take shy also in governs

problem, never yet successfully ac>
complished and never will be. The
prohibitionist sees the extreme
goodness of his own life and all the
iniquity Of his neighbor. Such
blindness never successfully led a
reform.

Bryan was in Salt Lake Saturday.
The Tribune has been prbpounding
questions, which it did not expect
to have answered on the silver
question. If Mr.. Goodwin, who SO
ardently supported the silver cause
several years ago, desired informa>
ton why the question was just as
important in 1900 as it was in
1896, why did he not go and ask
the same questions OF Mr.. Bryan?
There is only one sufficiently good
reason we know and that is that he
knew Mr.. Bryan would confuse his
fallacious arguments so thoroughly
that the Tribune and Mr.. Goodwin
would forever after need sympathy,
Goodwin has never yet satisfied
his own mind that he ha, presented
a really good reason for his change
of Fl ont. That his conscience hurts
him is self evident, as he doth pro-
test too much.
