"Just after had got comfortably

"They had just begun polishing when

artists swung in with the music, and

manuscript Of English literature in
the world, says Edmund Gosse, In Att
lantic, and the longer we consider IT'D
constitution the less likely we are to
dispute this claim. Nothing Of Shakes
peare's works remains in his own hand
writing; nothing important, 50 far as
we know Of 'Chaucer's, or OF spenser's.
OF later poets, indeed. we possess man
uscripts of more or less value and in
terest. But inn other case that / can
recall, ancient or modern, has It been
our privilege to examine the sheets in
which, through several years of the
highest creative intensity, great poet
hassleft on record the very movement
Of his mind and the hesitations and Sc
lections Of his art In the act of produc-
tion. When that poet is Milton, the
most splendid artist in verse whom the
English race has produced, the impor-
tance Of the document stands revealed
beyond any need of emphasis or in
sistence. Now, in the Trinity manu-
script, everything is the unquestioned
handwriting Of Milton, except some of
the sonnets, which have evidently been
copied by successive amanuenses.

.ALAsKA's MINERAL VALUE.


. The United. States paid 81 ,20O,0 900 for
Alaska, and last year II yielded 81, ,s21,-
355 in gold and silver alone. These fig
ures are given by the statisticiah Of the
mint. The increase over the precious
metal product of 1898 was So, 1877 0ss.
Until last year most of the gold and
silver obtained in Alaska came from
the quartz mines near Juneau, and
most of the vast increase of last year
came from the new fields of Cape Nome
1t amounted to about 81. 100000. says
the New York Herald.
From present indications the next
three>moDths will witness an increase
of $4,000 in the mining population Of
the territory. Most of them will go
to the rich auriferous placers of Cape
Nome ind miners of long experience
say that the gold output of the present
year from Alaska will equal that Of
California, and likely that Of the Klon-
dixie. during 1899.
But gold and silver are not the only
minerals. The enormous deposits of
copper md coal which Alaska contains
will receive attention from the army
Of a6venturers entering the territory
this spring and coming summer, and 1t
Will not be at all surprising If they add
more to the mineral output Of the ter
ritory than the gold quartz veins and
placer deposits.

Columbus, Texas. January 5.--The men
tion in The Post Of the advantages Colo
RADIO county offers for the cultivation of
rice and OF the success OF some of its citi-
zens in that enterprise has attracted the
attention of investors and many inquiries
are received by those interested here. The
foremost real estate agent OF the county
has been requested by a gentleman in the
rice district in the eastern part OF Texas,
who represents some New York Investors,
10 send him maps OF what land can be
bought for that purpose, to furnish what
literature describing individual expe-
rienees last year he can secure, and, II
possible, secure options on the purchase
OF 10000 or 10000 acres of land.
Such an investment would be the revo-
luton of Colorado county. Besides the
utilization of that one body of now prac-
ticaily waste land II would stimulate the
enterprise incomputably among the citi-
zene here. Thousands of acres now used
for grazing purposes and worth only a few
dollars an acre would bring to their own
ers revenues approxlmating $50 per acre.
1t would bring an Influx of population and
prosperity now enjoyed by the rice dis
trlcts OF Western Louisiana and Eastern
Texas.
