RETURNED FROM Alaska
A Traveller Says the Country Is All

o. S Switzer of PENNSYLVANIA is at
the Sheldon on his return from Alas
ka. He has spent four years in the
frozen north and is thoroughly ac-
quainted with the conditions there.
II predict a great future for Nome.
he said to a Herald reporter this
morning. land think it will not be long
until Nome will be the greatest gold
canp in the world. | have seen its de-
velopment from the beginning and
know that there is plenty OF gold there.
Ii is the most dangerous place in the
northwest to prospect. though. and I
would advise a man not to go there I'M
less he has some money. Many men
have gone broke there and found it
very difficult to get away. This has
given rise to the reports that Nome is
exhausted but there are hundreds of
others who will tell different story.
Most of the best ground has been Ia
ken up but there are many places yet
where n man can make fortune II he
knows how to work gold placers."
When asked about the interior. Mr..
SwitZer said: THE Dawson country
is doing better now than il did last
winter You see the discoveries made
in the coast country took many people
from Dawson but they are coming back
now and the old camp is on another
boom. The latest excitement is at
Atlin, a camp about two hundred miles
southeast of the Yukon. Fortunes have
been made there this summer but the
country has not been developed sIf-
ficiently to determine what is really
there. The mines already opened have
yielded handsome profits but the fear is
entertained that it is not permanent.
That whole country is rich in minerals.
principally gold and copper and as
soon as the gold gives out other mines

Cape Nome is more isolated than
Dawson during the winter" continued
Mr. Switzer. ''ann many people will
suffer there this winter. You see the
bay freezes over IT. winter and no
boats can get near the place. The
overland route is the toughest in the
country and il is almost impossible to
walk out of the country. | had very
good success there and yet have con-
siderable property that is yielding
handsomely. I am on my way home to
visit my family and will then return

when papOoae Dies.

The Indian mother. when her baby
dies. does not believe that swift angels
bear il into the sunshine of the spirit
solace her bereavement. The cruel
empty places which everywhere meet
the white mothers eye are unknown to
her. for to her tender fancy little
spirit child fills them.
1t is not uncommon. says the author
of Little Folks of Many Lands to
see i'm Mexico or in Canada a pair of
elaborate tiny moccasiDs above little
Indian grave. 4 mothers fingers have
made them. a mothers hand has hung
them there, to help n baby'S feet over
the long, rough road that stretches be-
tween his fathers wigwam and the
Great Chiefs happy hunting grounds.
Indians believe that n baby's spirit
cannot reach the spirit land until the
child. if living. would have been old
enough and strong enough to walk.
Until that time the little spirit hovers
about its mother. And often it grows
tired-oh. so very tired-so the tender
mother carries papoosc's cradle on
her back that the baby spirit may ride
and rest when il will.
The cradle is filled with the softest
feathcrs-for spirits rest more com
fortably upon feathers: hard things
bruise them-and all papoose's old toys
dangle from its hood. for dead papoose
may like to play even as living papoose

the fan to drive away the flies and
bring a breath of cool air as he read
over the sermon he was to preach on
the following Sunday. He had neither
noticed the widow nor Angelina nor
her father. The Widow Moreland had
insisted ON being present. Yes, she

MUSICAL GOSSIP.

The beautiful ball room Of the Waldorf. Astoria
was crowded last week with the most select peo.
pie in New York city to welcome Herr Eduard
Strauss on the opening concert of his tournee
through America and Canada. Herr Strauss on
his appearance in the orchestra was welcomed
with wave Of applause which lasted many
minutes The first number, the mclodious over
ture to 'Simplicious," by Johann Strauss dis.
played the qualities Of the great orchestra to
advantage and the marvellous ritardandos, pianos
and fortes were produced as only Strauss or
chestra can produce them. Every number was
encorcd and the whole concert was a tremend-
ous ovation for Herr Strauss and his wonderful
band of artist.musicans An interesting fea-
ture OF the concert was when the band had
played the new waltz, "Welcome to America"
specially composed by Herr Strauss in honor Of
the American people, amid the cheers and ap.
plause OF all present. Rudolph Aronson mounted
the platform and in a Short speech presented
Herr Strauss with a magnificent laurel wreath
intertwined with the Austrian colors and with
the words "strauss Greetings, New York, Octo.
ber 20, 19O0." The maestro in response to the
compliment raised his baton and the first bars
OF "The Beautiful Blue Danube" pealed forth
when the whole audience rose to their feet and
cheering and appauding for many minutes The
concert altogether was an immense success and
