HISTORY OF FURNITURE
FROM ANCIENT EPOCHS
Interesting Pamphlet Published by
Hub Furniture Company.

The Hub Furniture Company have now
on the press an illustrated booklet en-
titled The Periods Of Furniture" Civ
ing a concise resume of all the leading
types of furniture with their descrip-
tion and derivations.
The book treats of furniture as far
back as the time OF the ancient Egyp-
tidns, but does not take up the real his
tory of furniture until the thirteenth
century. This period is chosen as the
beginning of the work because OF the
fact that at that time all the medieval
art was at its best.
Leaving this period the next step
takes the reader 10 the fifteenth cen
fury. when Italy contributed a large
share OF the skill necessary 10 make
what was known as classical furniture
The styles in vogue among the Flemish
people is the next subject.
Passing then TO the time of Louis
XIV, the reader is shown the massive
and beautiful furniture of the French
court. The changes occurring during
the reign OF Louis XIV and Louis XVI
are dealt with In very interesting and
instructive manner. At this time a rad
ical change was effected in the styles Of
furniture. and from that period the
writer brings his theme step by step
down to the present day.
The book treats the events that
affected the styles of furniture, and also
calls attention TO the probability Of
some of the more artistic designs COM
ing into vogue in the near future
1t will be found very interesting read
ing matter.
The publishers expect 20 have the
books ready shortly. when they will be
distributed free TO all who visit the
establishment of the Hub Furniture

Wright and the others into the coun- try.
 'I heard the story of the great find of Dad Wright's party on Lake Kluane, but did not believe it could be SO good as reported" said Seth Cottrell, who returned from the Ruby creek district last night. "That was too rich to be true."
 Dad Wright and party arrived at Whitehorse a short time before the de- parture of the boats. It was reported that they had made a good strike. That was also the report on Ruby creek.
 "The new strike is at the north end of Lake Kluans, and about 100 miles northwest of Ruby creek"
 Mir. Cottrell has just spent a month in the Ruby creek country. He was among those who went in on the first rush, and liked the country so we'll that he made the second trip. He thinks more than ever of it. In speaking of the district last night, MT. Cottrell said:
 "The people in the Ruby creek dis trict have been so busy stampeding this summer and fall, that they have done but little work. Weisdepp and McMil- Ian were compelled to stop in their at tempt to reach bedrock on account of the frost, but Burt Fowler got down on 4 above discovery, and he was making S7 day.
 'I think there will be not more than 20 people to stay in the country this winter, but nearly everybody who was out there this year, will return next year."
 Mir. Cottrell will not return to the Ruby creek district until next spring.

 FOR ALASKA
Totem Poles to Be a Distinguish ing Feature of AIaska'S
 Worlds Fair Exhibit.

Gov. Brady has decided that the Alaska building at the Worlds Fair shall be finished entirely with Alaskan lumber, and for that purpose he will let contracts at Juneau to cut the lum- Der that will be required. This will be shipped to St. Louis by steamboat and rail
 A recent dispatch from Washington, referring to the Alaska building at the Worlds Falr, says:
 The design for the Alaska building at the St. Louis exposition has already been agreed upon by the officers of the interior department, and Secretary Ryan is now only waiting for the in formation from Gov. Brady to decide whether the architect to be employed shall be taken from Alaska or the Pa citic coast, probably Seattle, or from the East.
 Generally speaking, the building will be a reproduction of "hydah house. or communal house of native Alaskans. The main building is to be l0Ox5O feet in size, and will be tlanked by wings each 90 feet square. It is in tended that native totem poles shall be shown in the building, and native sym bolic inscriptions will be used libsrally y in the interior and exterior decora- tiOns.
 An allowance of $l5,0 has been made from the government appropria- tion of $5O GOO for the construction of the building.

KOyukuk and Tanana Countries Are We'll Stocked for the
 Coming Winter.

The big companies have penetrated the north to Coldfoot. This is tho most northerly point in interior Alaska at which a trading post has been estab- lished by any big trading company of today serving the mining districts. The Hudson Bay Company has gone farther north on the Mackenzie, and perhaps there are more northerly posts on the Boring coast, but Coldfoot holds the interior record, says the Dawson News.
 The Northern Commercial Company owns the ColdfoOt post General Man ager M. l.. Washburn, now in Dawson, states that the company opened business at COldfoot last summer. A store established there by a private company was taken over by the North ern Commercial. This store will be store lower down the Koyukuk river. The steamer Koyukuk has been carry ing supplies up the Koyukuk this sea- son as far as Bettles with success. The Koyukuk camp, MT. Washburn says, is well stocked.
 Mir. Washburn also announces that the Northern Commercial has con- pleted the taking over of the Barnett post at Fairbanks and will have it we'll stocked this winter. The old store is 3Ox6O feet and has two stories. A warehouse 4OxlOO feet has also been erected. A heavy river barge has been kept in the stream in front of Fairbanks for warehouse for the overflow stock.

 "lf no big stampede takes place, :" says Mr. Washburn, ''the camp will have ample provisions for the winter. As it is now, with a population of 1000 or so. a healthy steady development can be maintained with the stocks now on hand. But it would not be advisable for a great stampede to be held into the country in the winter"

QUARTZ NUGGETS
 ON NAKK|LA
A Queer Formation Encountered On a Fraction Owned by
 MT. Barker.

Out on Nakkila gulch, on a fraction owned by J. G. Barker, several large chunks of quartz have been found which are literally alive with gold. A few days ago nugget was picked up which is worth SIS. It is filled with quartz and is a very pretty specimen.
 In a shaft which is being sunk a cement formation has been encountered that can neither be picked nor thawed and Mir. Barker says he will have to "gad" it. The cement carries gold. Bedrock has not yet been reached on MT. Barker's fraction.
 It is the belief of quartz miners that rich ledge will one day be uncovered in the vicinity of Nakkila gulch.
