VALDES DESERTED.
Rich Placer Diggings at Mimi
River Cause Stampede.

Naldes, Alaska, June II. - This
town is all excitement over the reports
just brought in of rich placer diggings
Just discovered on the Mini river.
From 20 cents to $500 to the pan and
bedrock at three feet has caused every
man that could possibly do so to leave
for the new mines. There are barely
enough men in town to run the stores,
while some of the saloons and business
houses have closed. Every available
horse and pack animal has been pur-
chased at eXhorbitant prices, and many
have gone on foot with only a blanket,
pan and shovel, depending on the road
houses for food and shelter
The news of the new discovery was
brought here by NJ. T. Rowland and f..
c. Van Brunt. Mr.. Rowland came out
to record claims and Mr.. Van Brundt to
secure medical treatment for one of his
eyes, which he injured quite severely.
Mr.. Rowland, after recording a.num-
Der of claims and attending to other
matters of business, returned. They
endeavored to keep the matter quiet,
but it leaked out and has caused II
stampede.
The new strike is on the Mini river
and tributaries, which is branch of
the celebrated Chittyna river. on the
headwaters of which are the famous
Nicholi copper mines. The Mini is
long river with a number OF branches
and gulches and is about $50 miles from
this place and is one of the richest
mineralized districts in Alaska, accord
ing to government biologists, and min
ing men Of experience.
1t has been known since 1898 that
there was gold in that section of the
country. as we'll as copper, but hereto
fore it was thought that the copper was
the richest to prospect for, and not
many men have spent much time in
prospecting for gold.

REBATES AND TRITsTs

An Interesting Inside Railroad Story.
 President Stickney of the Great Western Railroad makes some interest ing statesments as to the dealing of the railroads and the packers. He says that for many years prior to March last, hen the payment of rebates were enjoined, it was the custom of the rail- way companies 'to bill packing-house products at the published tariff rates, and collect the full amount of such rates, afterwards making settlements by paying back to the packers from 25 to 90 per cent. of the money collected" It is easy to see how there could be no effective competition in the packing business with men who had such pe- culiar advantages. The great packing concerns, like the Standard Oil Com pany are in good part the creature of railroad favoritism.
 According to MT. stickney, neither the railroads nor hespackers dared to trif1e with the United States court. He says. "As soon as the injunction was granted by the court it was evident to both par tes that the old method of making rates must be permanently abandoned-that thereafter lawful rates must be estab- lished." This is a handsome tribute to the efficacy of the injunction reedy. If the government had brought criminal suits against the violators of the law, the suits might or fight not have been successful, but while they were being slowly pressed to a conclusion the pay ment of rebates would have continued.
 When the injunction was issued the published rate on packing-house pro- ducts was twenty -threee cents hun- dred weight. The favored packers who have been paying about sixteen cents, offered to pay 1S.4 cents, provided they were assured the rate would not be changed. The roads wished to ac- cept the proposition, but felt they could not because acceptance would involve a cut in the livestock rates, so they deci- ded to make the packers pay the full twenty-three-cent rate. Then the Great Western stepped in and made 8 contract with the packers at lower rate, which the other roads will have to meet.
 The rates charged the packers will be charged other shippers of dressed meats There will be no more discrim- nations. The packers will have to pay more than they have been paying and a considerable percentage of their net profits will disappear. They feel poor, and naturally have no love for the law department of the ntional government, which has broken up their highly pro- fitable method of doing business with the railroads.

Pleasant Way to Drive Away the Blues.
 A food that will bring back health and rosy cheeks to the sick as we'll as please the palate of the healthy is a pretty good food to know about. A lady in Minneapolis says. T am such an enthusiast upon the subject of Grape Nuts that I want to state a few in- stances of its value that have come under my personal experience.
 was taken ill with serious stomach trouble, so ill that the slightest move ment caused me pain and could take nothing into my stomach or retain even medicine or water. I had been two days without nourishnent when my husband suggested trying Grape-Nuts.
 The nurse prepared some with warm water, sugar and cream and I took it hesitatingly at first until I found it caused me no pain and for ten days I took no other nourishment. The doctor was surprised at my improvement and did not resent my attributing the speedy cure to the virtues of Grape-Nuts. He said he had case on record of teeth ing baby who grew rosy and fat on the same diet.
 sGrape-Nuts are so dainty and de- licious that it appeals to the whole household and when either husband or I feel generally out of sorts we try confining ourselves exclusively to the food for a day or two with the happiest results.
 For a year have had for neighbor a delicate girl-an epileptic-when I first knew hen she was a mere shadow weighing 70 lbs and subject to fearful attacks having as many as F and 16 convulsions in a day. At such times she took no nourishment whatever. She had never tried Grape Nuts and as any food seemed to increase her trouble at such times it was with difficulty l per suaded her to try it. But told her of my experience and induced her to try a few spoonfuls.
 The taste delighted her and ever since she has made it her chief article of diet. The result has been wonderful; her inn provement is the subject of remark with all who know her. The attacks are less frequent and violent and she has gained 20 lbs. since last November and her family attribute her improve ment solely to Grape-Nuts" Name given by Postum Co.,, Battle Creek, Mich.

during the past year she has sent cash contributions to the broken down mem bers of the stage in England alone of upward of s1, 600, beside responding gen erously to like objects in America.
 Miss BonehiIl is now in Portsmouth, surrounded by her family, where the anxious watchers notice daily a grad ual diminution of the invalld's physical strength.
 On June 2. in response to cable gram expressingthe wishes of the dy- ing woman, Miss Lillian c. Rogers, daughters of MT. and Mrs. H. T. Rog- CTS of Sayville, accompanied by the actress two daughters, the Misses Mar ion and Lena Seeley, left America for England. Miss Rogers is betrOther to place on July il.
 Miss Bonehill had planned to expend $4,OOO on her residence at Deer Hill this year where she hoped to soon retire and spend her remaining days in rest.
 For the twelve months past the farm has been in charge of Superintendent Cheever, an exceedingly intelligent young Englishman, who was a neigh bor of the BonehilIs before they came to America, and it was about year ago, when Miss Bonehill and family were filling a stage engagement in Eng land, that the actress and MT. Seeley invited MT. Cheever to come with them to America. He partially consented to take the ocean journey, when MT. Seeley went and purchased Mr Cheev- CTS ticket and booked him for the pas sage to America.
 When Mir. Cheever was met by an Eagle reporter at Deer Hill yesterday it was plainly to be seen that his inter- est and present care was divided be- tween America and England, for said he: ''No finer character is ever met among rAortals than is found in Bessie Bonehill. She has been friend as true as mother to me, and am deeply sorrowful over her present situation. ."- Brooklyn Eagle.

DISTILLED BITTERNESS.

A Farm in Wisconsin Where Worm
 wood is Raised and the Oil Ex-
 tracted.
 With the disposal of the product for this year, Leander s. Drew of this place closes the work of one-half a century as a producer of the oil of Wormwood. From the plants grown up- on 100 acres of rich valley land the oil is distilled, and this queer husbandman bears the unique distinctions of being the greatest producer and of having the most extensive wormwood works in the United States if not in the world.
 The farm lies between the shores of Crystal Lake and the main travelled road, extending from Lodi to Prairie du-Sac. The residence and distillery are hidden away behind a bluff-l like hill, and at the end of long, winding road guarded by massive farmer s gate. So secluded is the place, and so unexpectedly does the wayfarer come in sight of it, that one might suppose he

POLO PLAYING AT SARATOGA.

As polo is played in Saratoga the public takes an active part in it. Dur-l ing the magnificent contest between the Bryn Mawrs and Lakewoods the spec tators perspired almost as hard as the. players, and took an undue share ofs exercise, adding alarm and real danger to give them an interest in the game which the intrepid players did not feel. The polo ground is railed around by a white board set on edge and rising q foot above the turf. Against this rail the public presses to watch the game. Over this rail the players plunge in pursuit of the ball. After the police go. home, an hour or an hour and half before the game ends, the people swarm over this plank until sometimes hun dreds are deep in the field over which the players are dashing. Dozens and sometimes two-score times during a match the ball is driven and pursued over to the rail, and the horses, unable to overcome their momentum, suddenly leap the rail and plunge among the spectators, - = .-.szass ..st ;
 Sometimes there is sufficient time for the people to rush we'll out of danger, but at other times a sudden side stroke upon the ball and swerving of the sporting cavalry throws the men and horses among the people for three or four rows of unguarded men and wo- men to push each other into stam- pede. :ysr
 Nobody but a fool laughs when he sees these centaurs, hot after ball, leap the rail- The wise mans heart is in his mouth> as he watches the pan icky rush of men, women and children out of their great danger. It is not funny. It is very serious, and only a kind providence has thus far avoided damage that will make a great scandal

sENsE OF sMELL IN ANTS


 How do ants, whose blindness has been demonstrated time and time again by scientists. find their way about in dark or light as though they had the sharpest eyes in the world? How do they recognize relatives whom they have never before met, and how do they find their way back home when they have wandered many yards aWayf These matters have recently been ex pounded by Miss Adele M Fielde of New York city, who has for a number of years been noted as an authority up- on ant life. The ant has always been known to work independently of day+ light. To this wonderful insect night and day are alike It has no regular period for sleeping, and even in the sunlight 1t can only see one-q quarter of an inch in front of it's eyes. Yet, to. the bewildernent of all naturalists who have studied it's ways, the ant builds it's nests, constructs long tunnels un- derground, forages for food a long dis tance from it's nest, knows it's own rela- lives from all other ants, and finds it's way back to it's own home over roots, stones and leaves, even though it may have travelled 100 yards or more. It can do all this in spite of the fact that it is practically blind, The expIanation of this mystery says Miss Fielde, lies in the extraordinary fact that the ant finds it's way about not by sight, but by smell, and has five separate little noses in thei ends of the antennae. Every ant has two long, flexible antennae, or projecting horns, located on the front |. < Tlr,,,, os- ence News.
