ALASKAN PROSPECTOR.
FOR YEARS HE USED A STEAM
YACHT IN ALASKAN
WATERS.
Travelled 5000 Miles In One season-IIis
wife Sailed With Him in His Quest for
Gold--Sow Prosperous Mine Owner
and Well-known GeoIogist.

Prospecting in a steam yacht is an
experience which few mining men have
enjoyed. 1t remained. says the Den
yer News, for "A Colorado man to de-
velop the idea and disclose its posi-
biiities. The happy individual is J.
q. Davies, guest of the st James
hotel. Mr.. Davies went from this
state TO Alaska sixteen years ago.
After trudging laborlously over the
vast region for ten years he decided TO
try the water route. In one of the ports
of the Northwest he bought Il steam
launch and the first season covered
1900 miles along the coast and on the
great rivers. His family accompanied
him and for several years Mrs. Davies
was his constant companion on the
long trips in search of the yellow metal.
She has Travelled a greater distance
in Alaska than any other woman liv-
ing. and her experiences would be in
tercsting reading in the quiet homes
of the states.
The Colorado prospector was fortu-
nate in his explorations, and to-day he
is mine owner and goes prospecting
only as Il diversion. Mr.. Davies is Il
geologist of wide reputation in the
Northwest. His travels have given him
an acquaintance with all the mining
camps except those far in the interior
and practical knowledge of geology
which he learned in this state before
visiting Alaska placed him at great
advantage over the ordinary prospect
or. He estimates, as Il result of his
patient investigations, that Alaska will
produce thirty per cent. more gold this
year than last. and the increase Will
continue for two or three years. After
that time there will be Il slump. as the
richer streaks of the leading placer
deposits viii be worked over and the
period of lode mining will be reached
The possibilities of the immense lodes
he does not pretend to announce.
Mr.. Davies is in the state upon sew
eral missions, one of which is TO exam
inc the chlornation plants and learn
the latest methods of treating low
grade ores. He says the people of Jul
neau will provide the capital for plants
when they are assured that the right
process has been secured.

CArneCie'a Biz Treea.

On the grounds around his new man
sion ut Fifth avenue and Ninetieth
street, in New York, Andrew Carnegie
has set out n grove Of large trees,
some Of which are seventeen inches in
diameter. Among the twenty nine
trees moved are twelve sugar naples,
three elms, five poplars and one silver
leafed maple. Landscape garden
ers say these trees are the largest ever
transplanted. They We're brought on
large trucks from the borderlands of
Connecticut, having been carefully up
rooted by machinery that preserves
the fibrous roots and also protects the
branches and twigs from the slightest
injury. One tree, with the earth at
tached, weighed sixteen tons, and the
branches of one elm spread thirty feet.
All are coming into leaf with no indi-
cation of impaired vigor. Mr.. Car

Chicago River /. Now . Paragon of rur..,

Chicago River 10 Now = Paragon of Purity
The arrest of ship steward for de
filing the waters OF the Chicago riy-
er with soapsuds and potato parings re-
moves all doubt concerning the COM
piete rehabilitation and renovation of
this much-maligned stream. In one
short year the most odoriferous stream
on earth. whose foulness was of world
wide notOrfety and In whose bed re-
posed the accumulated and decOmpos-
ing refuse of great city, has been
transformed into such a paragon Of
purity that soapsuds actually detile It,.
Time was when copious and frequent
doses Of soapsuds in the Chicago river
were encouraged on the theory that it
neutraiized its foulneSs and tended to
arrest decomposition. But all the soap
suds that could be poured into 1t could
not cleanse 1t, so hopeless was its con-
dition Of solidified filth.
But the Chicago river no longer Of
fcnds the sensitive olfactories of the
strangers within our gates. That which
was the butt of merry ridicule and
jest, whose varicgated smells We're en-
balmed In rhymes of satire and deri-
sion. is thing of the past.
The arrest of the ship steward on
Tuesday was intended as timely
warning by the sanitary board to all
who have been in the habit of acting
carelessly in the vicinity of the Chi
cago river. Stevedores who manicure
their finger nails while on the river
will be arrested. Water that is emp
tied into the river must be pasteurized
or boiled, and nothing in the way Of
refuse will be tolerated. Lake cap
tains who are in the habit of indulg-
ing in seaworthy profanity must have
their speech disinfected before they
pass Rush street bridge.
The Chicago river is being washed
and cleaned by the blue waters of Lake
Michigan. The drainage board is going
TO keep it clean if it has to arrest ev-
cry stevedore. steward and sailor on
the great lakes.-Chicago Record.

WASHINGTON TRAGEDY.

The mystery surrounding the killing

The South Carolina Senatorial oon-
test promises to be more interesting
than we had anticipated. The situa-
tion is peculiar. Tillman represents an
element 10 the State that has never

politics, while McLaurin by reason of
his support of the administration in the
United States Senate has embittered
large number Of the ld-time Democrats
who would otherwise have heartily
supported him in free tight against
Tillman. There are now reasons to
hope that public sentiment will crystal

Lutte control of the State machine, both
may be retired to private life. This

presbxtsrian Awakening.

The acceptance by the Presbyterian
General Assembly of its committee's
report on creed revision is the COM
mendable outcome Of long contro-
versy. The Presbyterian church has
not kept pace with the advance in
theological thought and belief that has
occurred in other denominations by
virtue of a wider and more under
standable Interpretation OF the Biblical
record, and this delay in adjusting
itself TO the new trend in religious
faith is oil the more surprising owing
to the mass of intellectually that I'M
doubtedly exists and has existed for
many years within its body. Perhaps
there has been tendency to lean too
leniently toward a traditional con-
servatism, more or less unreasonable in
its nature, which may have warped the
Calvinistic sense of adiustableness and
prevented it realizing that it's own
Interpretation of the Scriptures may
have been originally wrong in sub
stance and application. Be that as II
may, there is now a rift in the cloud
that has darkensd the brillianoy OF the
Presbyterian contribution to the in
fiuencts operating TO Christianize the
world and we may look for greater
liberality and wider appreciation ol
the interdependence of denominations
WORK on the part of it's adherents.
What will bring most joy to the friend:
of Presbyterians will be the interesting
fact that they are now placing them
selves in position where they will b.
able to answer intelligently as to tn,
principles of their faith when they arr
questioned. We have had SO man,
Presby terians ask US what was pre-
destination that we sometimes wonde
whether IL was really. intended tina
that curious doctrine be tsngiEly de

terians believe in it and large per
centage do not even know what i
stands fur. II the coming year b

WOULD NOT ACCEPT BEER.

Unanimous Decision of the Striking Ma
chinists to Decline the Offer.
The striking machinists. at their
meeting In Turn Hall, Monday morning,
voted unanimously not to accept a
protfer OF beer for their consumption.
Chairman James A. Campbell an
nounced that thus far offers OF beer
had been declined, but a suggestion
had been made to accept .one-
quarter, which, 1t was thought,
might do no harm by the time every
machinist drank his share. Mr..
Campbell left IL with the meeting to
decide whether or not to have the beer.
Ex- Councilman William II. Blake
who is president of Delaware Lodge,

took the floor in opposition to receiving
the beer. and was warmly applauded.

but IL it isn't here, there is no chance

wishes of the community, to be able

wives and sisters with good, solid
sense, let US not take this beer. II you
think that this is good move go ahead
and get it.; but If you think it is bad.

And the way the crowd pounded the
floor showed their response to Mr..
| Blake'H suggestion.
Then Robert e. Lee, president of
Wilmington Lodge, International Asso-
citation of Nachinists. suggested that
they had got along so far without beer,
and could get along until the strike
was over. Then would come chance
tn have good time.
The meeting adopted motion not to
have the beer, and thanking those who
offered 1t. The machinists accepted a
gift of $50 cigars from j. Harvey White

In the course of the meeting, badge
was presented to Mr.. Blake, who will
be chief marshal 10 the Memorial Day
parade. 1t comprises G. .,R. badge
on one side and machinists' union
badge on the other. In receiving it,
Col. Blake said the machinists were
fighting as hard now to accomplish
their object as the soldiers had fought
