SOME GOOD ASSAYS.

Hon. f. HI. Davis, of Nampa,
Mining Engineer Hunt and Thos.
J. Kerr, of Challis, arrived in
town the fore part of last week
from Silver creek where they are
engaged in mining and have a
bond on some claims out there.
They came out to have some as
says made on ore from the Myr-
tie No. 1 and 2 quartz claims that
they are developing, and are well
pleased with the returns from
the samples. There were three
samples taken and were assayed
by Mr.. E. Williams, of Challis,
who is considered to be a very
careful and accurate assayer.
The returns made on the samp-
les were as follows
No. [. Gold, 1 o., silver, los
ozs. Total value per ton $50.
No. 9. Gold, 9 46-10 ozs., sill
yer, 400 2-10 ozs. Total value
per ton S2S2. A.
No. 8. Gold, 4 ozs., silver,
96 $40. Total value per tor
$4,000.
At present the ledge from
which this ore is taken is about
18 inches in width and can b'
traced for distance of 200 feet
The ore will admit of cyanide
treatment which is the best pro
cess and the cheapest.

TIME.
BY T. Shelley Sutton.

FlEINAINy HJuNVDEIf
There is a stream whose restless waters roll
Across land where none may dare explore;
Silent and deep 1t flows from pole to pole,
And Life and Death are monarchs ofits shore
Upon its breast no launch has ever ploughed,
No mighty bridge vet spans its rolling wave;
1t is the womb, the cradle and the shroud-
The measure of existence-and the grave;
1t knows no end, since it was ne'er begun,
Aud yet the Past receives it, like sea
Into whose clasp the surging rivers run
Connecting Now with Life's Eternity
Some call 1t Time, but it is more than Time,
For Time is but portion of its race;
1t knows no measure, but with flow sublime
Creeps.on and of--nor leaves its present place.

 "A special telegram from Fort Gib- bon Co the Dawson News, states that fire today made a clean sweep of the United States military quarters there. The loss in dollars is not mentioned but will probably run to 8lOO,000 The loss is particularly unfortunate at this time of the year, as the Arctic winter ! is now on in full vigor and will last i've months longer
 "The fire broke out in on unknown manner in the smoke house Before an alarm could be given Che entire bar- racks were ablaze. The soldiers had nothing with them to fight the flames lon. snow, which proved useless.
 "The fire made a clean sweep of the barracks, warehouses and paint shops. The warehouses contained the supplies of Che soldiers for the winter Noth- ing was saved. All the soldiers lost their personal belongings and kits.
 "The commandant is moving with great rapidity to again house the men and send up the Yukon for more sup plies. Fortunately the stables and horses were not involved in the fire.
 The fire took place Friday, Novem- ber 20
 Fort Gibbon is located at the mouth of the Panama river, several hundred miles below Fort Egbert which is lo- cated at Eagle, and was built under the direction Of Capt W. P Richardson, of this city.

 Tf a territorial form of government be authorized then unquestionably the delegate should be elected IT no ter- ritorial form of government be pro- vided the delegate will probably be ap- pointed by the president, or possibly selected by thothree judges and the ter- r.iodal appointed officers It would be inconsistent to authorize the election Of delegate oad deny a territorial form of government on the ground that the population was too scattered to admit of a fair election of territorial officers
 But Mr. Jones Is not far wrong ID providing three delegates in place of one; for, whether elected or appointed such a distribution of representation is the only method by which the three districts The southeastern, the cen- tral and the northwestern, can each ex- pect to have a representative fully identified with and devoted to it's own interests"

Ls.

 'There is undoubtedly predomina,- ing sentiment among the people oi the district ,oi Alaslal in favor of terri torial form of government and home rule. They feel that they are quite as able to make laws affecting their own interests as is the congress Of the Unit ed States four or five thousand miles away. The sentiment for home rule is perfectly natural and is entitled 10 great respect
 But whether a territorial form of government is provided or no, certain ly Alaska is entitled to at least one del- egate in congress. Itis unfair and ab- surd that this immense diswicl with

Tendency Of the Times.

The tendency of medical science Is
toward preventive measures. The
best thought of the world Is being
given to the subject. 1t is easier and
better to prevent than to cure. 1t has
been fully demonstrated that pneu-
monia, one of the most dangerous dis
eases that medical men have to con-
tend with, can be prevented by the
use of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Pneumonia always results from cold
or from an attack of influenza (grip),
and it has been observed that this
remedy counteracts the tendency of
these diseases towards pneumonia
This has been fully proven in many
thousands of cases in which this
remedy has been used during the
great prevalence OF colds and grips
and colds in recent years. and can be
relied upon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia also often results from a
slight cold when no danger is appre-
hended until 1t is suddenly discover
ed that there is fever and difficulty In
breathing and pains in the chest. then
It is announced that the patient has
pneumonia Be on the safe side and
take Chamberlain Cough Remedy as
soon as the cold is contracted. 1t al
ways cures. For sale by all druggists.
