ECZEMA $
ITCH IS TORTURE.

Eczema Is caused by all acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
aammation little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off sometimes the skin is
hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any
form is torinenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times are
almost unbearable the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
ON fire. Salves, washes nor other exter-
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
Il will keep the skin irritated.

The Atlin Claim says the strike in
shaft sunk by the Pine Tunnel Syndi
cate proves conclusively that the pay
channels of the Pine follow the valley
from end to end, and have a uniform
value. The gold taken from bedrock
was very coarse and nuggety and
strongly resembles that of the Willow
creek run, FIVE miles up the valley. The
appearance of the pay gravel is also
very similar, and bedrock is the char
acteristic serpentine formation observ-
cd to underlie Willow creek and vicin-
ity. Bedrock was struck at depth of
forty-four feet.

KILLIsNoO NEWS.

This is beautiful Lords day morn

les it is a very interesting and enjoya-
BILE day with Gods people; more espec-
tally observed by the Episcopalians
and the Catholic denominations. Yet,
as Jesus followers paid Him such hon
ors in oIden times as to go ahead of
Him, as He was riding into Jerusalem,
and strew palms in the road, Cor, more

the day by some extra demonstration.
would much enjoy attending services
this morning in any church where the
gospel was preached and God was wor-
shipped. But have to be content with
reading Gods word and sermon in
the Christian Herald, written by Rev.
T. Dewitt Talmage. His sermons are
very helpful and instructive.
We have had lovely, sunny days now
for two weeks. The snow is fast disap-
pearing and the grass is very green; ma
ture is awakening from her long sleep
during a cold and disagreeable winter
Angoon is deserted, with the oxcep-
ton of four Indians, my husband and
myself. Some have gone bunting, 9th
ers cutting wood for the oil and guano
company at Killisnoo. The loggers and
those who are cutting wood are very
glad to see fine weather. They have
had hard time this winter trying to
get about in the deep snow.
Since the last steamer came to Kills
moo. the first of the month, it has been
quite busy place. Mr.. Carl Spuhn,
president of the oil and guano works,
came on the steamer and brought a
boss ship carpenter and twelve or tif-
teen men to repair the boats that were
damaged by the falling in of the roof
of the boat house during the heavy fall
of snow the past winter. There is to
be one new steamer built, too. They
have also rented a steamer from Seat
tie, called the Angeles. 1t has very
competent captain, 1 hear, and the COM
pany expects to carry on the business
much more extensively than any pre-
vious year. They will have ono more
steamer and several more smaller boats
than last year, and employ couple of
hundred men. The captain of the An
geless has a very good name-James
Blaine If he is as good seaman as
the man he was named after was a
statesman, he will be Of great value to
the company. The boarding house
there has opened and Mr.. Spuhu
brought a French cook with him, SO
they are living fine these days. There
are to be extensive repairs done on the
factory, too, hear. So Killisnoo will
be lively place from this time on. The
new steamer is busy towing logs the
Indians have been cutting for wood.
Fishing don't begin much before May,
but there is so much repairing to be
done to boats and factory that they
won't be ready to fish before that time.
The Indians will have plenty of work
the coming summer near home, as
cannery is being built at sitka Bay,
about 20 miles from Killisnoo, and an.
other at Basket Bay, about the same
distance from here. Each year more
industries are being opened up in all
parts Of Alaska.

A serious situation has shown mp IN
connection with the raising of foxes in
Alaska. According to a decision just
handed down by the U. S. attorney gen
eral, the interior department is not
authorized under the existing laws to
allow leases of land belonging to the
United States for the purpose of propa-
eating foxes.
The following people are reported
lost at Dawson: George. e.Wise Harrison,
Los Angeles; G. A. Healy, Fairhaven,
Wash; Alton NJ. Healy, WestvilIe Cen
ter, New York; George w. Britain, Bal
lard, Wash; Charles H. Mimic, West

The Tanana proper consists of great
valley forty or fifty miles wide. The
slopes during the summer season are
covered with a luxurious growth of
tender red,top grass averaging from
one to four feet in height. Away from
the foothills there is said to be the best
agricultural section ever seen in Alas
ka. The temperature is never very
low, as the valley is protected by the
mountains from the high winds. Food
for cattle is plentiful, and it is possible
that in time there will be a great immi-
grafton for purposes other than min
ing
A Dawson special, under the date of
April 1st, to the Skagway Alaskan, says
there is the greatest excitement in
camp today-in fact, the activity re-
sembles that manifested on the occa-
sion of the recent Ottawa order to close
all saloons and gambling houses. 1t
was occasioned by a report which has
been verified from No. 3, Eldorado, to
the effect that a second pay streak has
been struck five feet deep carrying 81
to SIS per bucket. The strange part of
the find lies in the fact that the miners
at work passed through clay which had
formed false bed rock. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY expected that the strange min
eral condition will be found to prevail
in other claims, and if they do, sur
prising developments may be expected.
Robert Henderson, the discoverer
of the Klondike, and James French,
have just returned to Dawson from Ma
poleon creek, in the Forty Mile country,
and report a big strike on that stream.
AS high as S4.40 was rocked out from
the pay in half an hour. Mr.. Hender-
son saw this done himself. The pay
strata is five feet deep. He belives
the men are just as liable to take out
$1,000 in half an hour as to get dollar
in that time. The paystreak, Mr.. Hen
derson says, is already proved to be u
feet wide, and its full width is not de-
termined. He is enthusiastic over the
find. He had an interest on Nos. 6 and
7 on which the strike was made. Nearly
all the creek is staked. The gold is
large and coarse, running from % cents
to $40 in value to the piece.
