The Surveys Have All Been
 Completed
Chief Engineer Says the Construo- tion Wili Commence With the Opening of Boring Sea Naviga- tion-orsanissd In soattio

Final surveys for the Nome Council City section of the road which tho Alaska siberian Railway Company last summer announced lt would build from point on Cool Inlet to Boring strait have been completed and construction Is to be com menccd soon after the opening of Boring sea navigation. The information comes from c. s. Can1cld. says the P.-I. Mir Garfield had charge of the survey work, completing the first division of the line but few days before he sailed from Nome. or the work and It's completion he said:
 "Our surveys were made from Nome. following the shore line 70 the mouth of Solomon river a distance of thlrty-siN miles. Thence we ran up the river to it's source. surveying from across the divid, to what are known as the Casa de Paga waters, We proceeded down the Paga to where it emptles Into tho Neukluk and along the latter river to Council City. a total distance of nlnety-six miles. Every where we found m easy grado-not to eN- cced per cent. Rt any point In the course of the nincty-six miles SD feet Ia the highest elevation.
 "The company for which l have been making surveys means business. and Is already purchasing material Some Of the officers of the corporation. which was perfectcd in Seattle last June. though the incorporation was made under the laws of Arizona, are stephen B. Howard, Of San Francisco. president: Pierce Thomas. of Colorado, vice-president; J. F.. Griflth, of New York. treasurer; E. II. Soule, of Chicago. managing director. Mir soule k expected In the city within the next few days. and we win then know moro about what is being done as to the fu- turc work,
 ultimately the purpose of the company Is to have a continuous line from CooS inlet to Teller Following the construc' ton of the Nome-Golovin bay section which | think will be completed next year. the division from Nome along the sea to Teller win in all probability be the next undertaking. Meanwhile, the surveys will be made from Council on to the Yukon and across to Cook Inlet.
 "Tho Nome Council City division will In my judgment. pay big returns from the moment Of It's completion. and ther' is no reason why the entire line shouiJ not In time be built and prove n good investment from railroad business standpoint"

A PeregIinating Pearl.
BY KATE NJ. CI.EARY,

Copyright 1901, by Daily Story Pub. Coz
Theodosia was turning the house up
side down She had lost the pearl out
of the ring Roderic Merrill had given
her. 1t wasn't an engagement ring
although Theo had allowed Jasmine
Marsh to suppose it was. Roderc
was Theodosias S second cousin.
"Oh, you're a tidget, Theo!" cried
her sister. Do;tie. Sweep the room!
Look under the dresser. It's just rolled
into some corner You'll find it,"
Maybe l WON'T" said Theo. Her
round, grecnish eyes cleaned signifi-
cantly. You see-I may not have lost
it,"
Dottie wheeled around. What do
you mean by that, Theo Brinker?"
1T was a valuable stone," declared
Miss Brinker. darkly. 1T could have
been pried out of the setting. 1t would
be comparatively easy to dispose of
by one who-who looked like lady,
and"
DO you mean to say you think your
pearl was stolen?" demanded the
younger Miss Brnker in much excite
nent.
Her shrill young voice reached Jas
Zine Marsh, and arrested her steps al
most on the threshold of the bedroom
She was a dark-haired, slender girl,
with a face patrician of feature and
gentle Of expression. She taught the
Brinker twins. who being considered
delicate, were receiving their educa-
tion at home.
Il shouldn't be surprised to learn 1t
was! You remember the other day l
was speaking Of its value To-
TO me. Miss Brinker," said Jasmine
Marsh, quietly. She came forward into
tho room. Il recollect your stating
that Mr.. Merrill had been at pains to
secure such a flawless stone"
She stood waiting, silent and digni-
fed.
Theodosia turned brick-red all over
her broad, rather fiat face
Il did not say that anyone in this
house would steal" she said, defensive
ly. But WAS sure the setting was
fast. It," glancing challengingly at
the young teacher, certainly looks
queer"
Jasmine made no reply She still
waited as though for Miss Brinker to
speak again. When she did not, she
remarked that 1heo's mother had
asked to see her at once. Then she left
the room. Immediately Dot broke into
a string of reproaches
II don't see how you could speak SO,
Theo! You as good as told her you
The Grit-advocate., 1901-05-24

took Theo's breath away. What if
he had only been waiting for this good
luck to say to her the words she had
hoped SO long to hear him speak some
day! Dot heard the news rapturously.
Rod" she cried, we've got to ce1e-
brate!"
Surely" laughed Merrill He and
Dot were great chums. I'm going to
take you all to the theater tonight.
The last act is bore, so We'll cut it
out and drop into Lucy's for supper
and whirl ON our way home. My
sister gives little dance, you know.
You got cards. Won't you Gomez"
'Of course VIC will" replied Dot.
Catch US refusing!"
"And-Miss Marsh"
"She never goes anywhere" Theo-
dosia interposed quickly
She isn't asked to many Places"
put in Dot. She's young enough and
pretty enough to like a good time.
Why, she's three years younger than
you, Theo. Wait minute, Rod! III
go ask her"
Before Theo could interfere, Dot
all elbows and angles as sixteen is apt
to be-was flying up the stairs. She
came back rueful and depressed.
Jasmine won't go. She says to
thank you ever so much for thinking
Of her-but she won't CO."
Il am very sorry" said Merrill in a
low voice. He looked hurt and dis
appointed. In short time he took his
leave. When he drove up that even
ing he noticed black-clad form leav
ing the Brinker residence Something
familiar about it drew his attention.
Wasn't that Jasmine Marsh?" he
asked himself as she vanished in the
shadows Of the winter night. He put
the same question to Dot when she
met him in the hall. She lifted a
flushed little face that showed traces
of tears.
Yes. Theo got mamma to pay her
a month extra and send her away at
once. don't know what's got into
Theo. Because Jasmine has to sup
port her brother who Is at school out
OF her earnings, Theo seems to think
Jasmine must need money badly
enough to steal!"
Whats that. Dot?" Rod cried,
sharply. did you say-steal?"
Dot nodded "Theo thinks Jasmine
took the stone out Of her ring. don't
care how hard up Jasmine Marsh was
she wouldn't do thing like that!"
"No. she wouldn't. Dot" There was
a ring Of emotion in his voice. "Sbe
7uldn't for kingdoM!"
