Dellcat to Girl.

From the Minneapolis (Kan.) Mes
senger: A young man spent Sunday
with his best girl over on Pipe Creek
somewhere and noticed she did not eat
much for dinner or supper. He asked
her with a kind smile If she was sick,
and she replied by saying she seldom
ate much at any time. On Monday
morning he met the girls little broth
er going to school and asked him how
his sister was. The little boy told him
that she was just awful sick, that
mama told her that she had eaten too
much pumpkin pie, cold cabbage and
fat bacon last night after you went
home" The young man asked if a
doctor had been called. The boy said,
mo; Sis is afraid to send for DR..
Aplin for fear he would find out what
made her so sick and tell it to her
friends"

KINDS OF
Over a Hundred Species Are Known. Only
the Female Bite.


the Female Bite.
Our ancient foe, the mosquito, de-
serves mention as a fall insect, for he
rarely leaves us until frost ends his
career, says a writer in Lippincott's.
The adult mosquito requires no de-
scription, but the larvae, known as
wrigglers, have some curious charac-
teristics. Mosquito eggs are laid on end,
side by side, in a raft-like cluster which
floats on the water. In a few days the
larvae crawl out at the lower end and
swim about, feeding on decaying mat
ter. Their breathing tube is near the
tail, and they always rest at the sur
face with the abdomen raised so as to
bring this tube above water. A fringe
of fiat hairs at the tip serves the dou-
BILE purpose of keeping them af1oat and
closing the breathing tube when they
dive. They soon change to pupae,
and in a few days more the pupa-skin
splits down the back, the winged mos
quito crawls out very damp and I'M
steady and floats around till dry, using
his oil skin as a raft. This is the most
perilous time in his life history, for a
breath or a ripple will sink the raft
and drown the navigator, but if all
goes we'll he soon flies away, ready for
business. For this reason mosquitoes
never breed in running water. On the
other hand, water does not seem essen
tial to their existence, for some species
abound in high, dry western plains,
miles from damp ground or standing
water. It is worthy Of mention that
the female mosquitoes do the singing
and biting; the males are silent and
i~noffensive, rarely seen about dwell
ings. 1t will be disheartening to most
readers to learn that there are one
hundred and fifty species of mosquitoes
known.

A valuable but little-known daily
newspaper is published in Washington
by the bureau of foreign commerce,
and is entitled Advance Sheet of the
Consular Reports" 1t has reached its
five hundredth number. In it's pages
are found many interesting glimpses
of life in foreign lands, and the range
of its matter is wide, as the following
list of articles in a single issue shows:
American Fruit in Norway" Sugar
in SPAIN" Heating and Cooking
Stoves in Uruguay" Coffee in ia
maica," Conversion of Mexican Debt"
and Direct Steamship Connection
with Syria" These papers are ex-
tracts from consular reports. They
are of prime interest to business men,
but nearly every issue contains some
paragraphs which are curious, anus
ing OF novel. This is true of many
other government publications, but
this daily is exceptionally favored.

A writer in the Review of Reviews
gives this advice: eff you have a farm.
keep it; if not, get one; for the time
may come when the population of this
country will be largely divided into
monopolists, dependents and farmers;
and the farmer will be the most indie
pendent of all men, and will be the
saving power of our institutions" We
venture to say that it will not depend
so much upon the farm as upon the
farmer.

The Dawson Nuggets says that sour dough stood on Third street near the Nugget office yesterday afternoon and gazed admiringly on the arch which stands little farther down the street and on which is fine picture of Amer ican and British brotherly love in that
 between the two flags are two big hands in friendly clasp, and on the ends the words "One People; One Tongue" "That," said the sour dough, "is right. It means canned beef tongue which Tanks and 'Brits' alike have both been eatin' ever since the country was dis covered"
 The Daily Alaskan says that the dead body of Otto Nelson still main- tains it's ghastIy watch in the wilderness twenty miles from Haines. Although the discovery of the corpse was report ed by Chilkat Indians nearly three weeks ago, it is yet unburied and the mysterious death of Nelson and his partner, Metcalf, has not been investi. gated. Leaning back against tree, surrounded by the wreck of the trap pers' camp, the skeleton, stark and stiff, reposes in the same position in which the long, frozen winter was pass ed. The scene of this administrative neglect is five miles from the solitary and scant grave of Geo. Metcalf, who was buried within few feet of the spot upon which he met his death some time early last fall. Judge Ripinsky, who was in the city yesterday says the re- port of the discovery has been con frmed by white people.
 A regular rough house was held in one of Nome's swellest gambling hous- es just before the departure of the steamer Tacoma on her last trip south. A plunger known as Jimmie the Goat" had won S4OOO on the faro table when well dressed stranger walked into the place, pulled his pistol and commenced shooting. He evidently was not intent on robbery or murder, for no one was injured, but in less time than it takes to tell it he had demolished all the lights, leaving the house in total dark ness with an expertness that astonish- ed all who were present. He accom- plished the feat in true Buffalo Bill style, plugging the lights one at time with an unerring aim. There was one lamp on the bar not two inches away from the face of a porter, but this was shattered by bullet without touching the frightened man, several pieces of glass from the shade inficting scratch es. During the excitement and dark ness the stranger passed out of back door and was seen no more. Several other scared gamblers pulled guns and fired perhaps a dozen shots, but after order was restored it was found that no one was injured severely.

and Nome they are taking some heavy gold off bedrock, one nugget weighing S63 having been found on Nome creek.
 On Sour Dough it is seven feet to bed rock and the pay streak appears to be over 100 feet wide as far as it has been prospected. There is quite little ex- citement over that creek and great eX- pectations are held for it. On McMan. us creek the pay is pretty we'll distrib-
 uted and very wide. While gold can
 be found all over it there is hardly enough per cubic yard to warrant work there at the present price of provisions
 but some day, when expenses get more reasonable, McManus will prove to be a good creek. On the whole consider the Panama district to be one of the
 most extensive in the north, with every creek carrying gold.
 Mir. Henry Couillard, who recently returned to White Horse from pros pecting trip, says he and his partner To cated several valuable copper claims. In speaking of his trip MT. Couillard said, .'When we left White Horse we proceeded in northeasterIy direction until some miles beyond the Dalton trail; we then made a circuit to the south, coming back to White from the southeast. During the journey we en- countered considerable game, in fact a day never passed but we sighted bear, cougar, caribou, moose or some other wild animal Fish also were plentiful, also grouse and ptarmigan. While on our way back we had an encounter with a large grizzly bear. When we saw him first he was on top of bluff but see ing us he came down in the valley and followed us some distance. As we were crossing an opening the grizzly, who was quite close to us, stopped as if pre- pairing to charge. I dropped ou my knee in an instant and fired two shots, both of which entered his head, killing him instantly"
 Mr. Peter Toralle, just out from the Forty Mile district, is a guest of the Occidental Hotel, says the Skagway Budget. Mir. Toralle is on his way to visit his home in Minnesota and ex- poets to return to Forty Mile in the spring. He has been in that country for three years and he expresses the opinion that the district will take rank next to the Klondike as the best in this country. In fact Jack Wade creek, though possibly spotted in pla- ces, is now considered equal to the best of the Klondike creeks. As prospect ing advances it is being found that the gold bearing district is of much greater extent than was at first supposed. Good pay is being found clear up the north fork of the Forty Mile and it is believed that the entire country will prove rich over the divide to Panama. In Montana guIch the gold runs coarse, all the way up to S2o nuggets. Bullion creek is also good. The region where MT. Toralle was prospecting is 125 miles up the north fork. Of course, so far from the base of ones supplies, op- erations become very expensive, and claims have to be good in order to re- turn profit. From other sources it is learned that the extension of the gold deposits of the Forty Mile to the Tana na valley is generally believed. Con- coarse gold has come out of the Tanana country, and that region is now attracting the attention of the best informed mining men of this part of the world.

According to the cannery men at
 Bristol bay, says the Sitka Alaskan, a
 rush" to that place is to be fostered in
 this wise. Three men who have we'll
 stocked store at little village on the
 Nushagak river have bought and trad
 ed for about SlO,OOO worth of gold dust
 and nuggets, and this sack each man is
 in turn to take below, display, and cir
 culate the report that it came from his
 claims on thee Nushagak river, at a
 point some 25O miles from Bristol bay, taking care, however, that no one finds
 out that he is connected in any way with the other parties who tell like tale. Should this scheme succeed it will undoubtedly prove another Copper river, with, in all probability, less re- suits than came from that section. There is no gold to be found in the vi- cinity of Bristol bay, or at least no more than is to be found in almost any section of Alaska, that is few colors to the pan on most any creek one has a
 mind to prospect on.
 A gentleman just out from Forty Mile and Dawson gives the Budget man some interesting information about the N. A. T. Co.'s coal deposits on the Yu- kon. These deposits are located on Coal and Cliff creeks on the Canadian side, about 70 miles below Dawson The veins vary from 5 to 9 feet, being very uneven, and the coal is said to be of an excellent quality. Owing to the lack of transportation or some other reason, very little has as yet been shipped to Dawson, but the boats plying on the lower river all use it, and it finds ready sale at S30 per ton on the dump. The workings are under the manage ment of Supt. Jim Watson. About 35 men are employed Wages vary, the regular coal miners getting s per day and board, while the miscellaneous la bor is paid for at the rate of S1OO per month and board. The deposits are so accessible and easily worked that de- spite the smallness of the force em- ployed, there is already an enormous quantity of coal on the dump.
 Dawsonites have confidence in the Panama district, and it is believed that there will be big rush to the district from that place. Many leading Klon- dikers are interesting themselves heav- fly in the district, and Bill McPhee and others, it is said, will transfer the scene of their operations entirely. The Dawson News of a late date quotes John Mcleod, who recently spent six weeks thoroughly examining the creeks in the district, as saying that the dis trict will equal the Klondike. Mr. Me Leod further said: "The creeks are showing up better every week. As the pay streak is being more accurately To- cated miners are wasting very little time on unnecessary prospecting but are taking out the pay as rapidly as possible. There are fully 800 miners in there now and many claims are un- dergoing active development. On Faith and Homestake, the best creeks yet found, over 100 miners are employed at S15 per day. Doc Lynch has 20 men on No. 9 Faith and is averaging three ounces to the man, while on Pat Ken eally's Homestake claim two ounces is the average. Hope creek is turning out very we'll, and Charity has good pay, while across the divide on Sour Dough
