HE Reminds Nc of Jesus"

One familiar with the workings and
everyday life of James Chalmers. that
great Scotch divine. relates a beautiful lit
tie incident which came under his observa-
ton, and which wildly portrays the Christ
like nature of this man of God. He says:
'One day went into a house where ono
of his peopie was bedridden. She had been
in great pain for many years. and as went
in / thought she looked ever so bright. |
said, You are better to-dav:' Yes she
said. you know | have had Mr.. Chalmers
this afternoon. and. do you know. he never
comes but when he is gone | think that is
just how Jesus Christ would have come to
see me. When he sits and looks al nc |
think that is how Jesus would have locked.
and when he opens his mouth and speaks
to me ] thinl; that is how Jesus would have
spoken. and when he prays | can almost
hear the very voice of nv Master PRAYING
for me. and he always asks for the things
that | think Jesus above everything else
would like me to have. He never goes bat
he leaves behind the impression that it
has been like visit from Jesus. He re-
minCs me OF Jesus"

The Foe to Fear.

Dr. Theodore l.. Cuy.er. in estimating
what he deems to be our worst enemy in
this life, says: Dangerous as the devil is,
dangerous as worldly amusements are the
most dangerous enemy that we often have
to encounter walks in our own SHOES. That
cunning. artful, smooth tongued heart
devil. self, is the foe that needs tine most
constant watching and subjects us to the
worst defeats. The flesh lusteth against
the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh
and these are contrary the one to the
other Paul had tremendous battle
along these lines. beating down his carnal
nature by hard blows, and the old hero
was able ~ last to shout: i have fought
good fight; henceforth there is laid up for
me u crown of righteousness" Whoever
has, by Gods help, laid his desires. his
pans, his purposes. his property. and,
above all. his own will at the feet OF Jesus
Christ. is already one of the overcomers.
He already begins TO wear c.ean raiment,
and the omniscicnt eye of God discerns on
his brow the first Hastings OF the vctor's
crown"

M|NEp|,S' MEET|N0ti Held on the Shunnak
 River. SETTLES DIFFICULTY Growing Out of the Fact That Two Recorders Were Doing
 Business There.
SETTLES DIFFICULTY

John Johnson, who went into the kO- bulk river country last August, is in town from the Shunnak. He confirms the reports heretofore published in this paper concerning the Shunnak strike. The only claims that have been pros pected to bedrock show pay. These are owned by Mason and Van Leer. The depth to bedrock on the claims pros pected was only about five feet. At tempts to reach bedrock on other claims failed because of the inflow of water. Mir. Johnson believes that that section will make mining camp. There are about 40 men on the Shunnak. There is sufficient supply of grub for the men who are there uutil navigation opens.
 There has been good deal of dissat- isfaction over recording, and the lack of knowledge among the miners as to which of the two recorders, who have been doing business, was the duly au- thorized official. The recorders were Geo. w. Debus of the old Reed river district, and c. H. Frost, deputy re- corder of Mt. Kelly district. The Reed river district, it seems, has been mer- ged with Mt. Kelly, but this fact was not known on the Kobuk.
 The miners of the Shuunak held a mass meeting on April to take action looking toward the settlement of the difficulty. MT. Frost suggested that the miners name temporary recorder and that both himself and Mr. Debus

THE CHENA
 REGION Visited by White Men in Winter of 1898.
FOUND FAIR GROUND
But None of the PrCSpeCtors Were Experienced, and They Be.
 came Discouraged.

In the sumner of ls9S, Capt. T. l.. Morgan and party of l2 men, ascend ed the Tanana river in the steamer Panama Chief to the Cinema and thence up that river to Il place named Fort Cinema, the head of navigation on that stream. From Fort Cinema. during the following winter. they continued on up the river and pruspected and named a number of creeks. Capt Morgan thinks that his party. no doubt, pros pected on some of the creeks on which gold now has been discovered. Another party in that section the same winter was the Currier party. of St. Paul, who had the steamer Poetlatch. The ves- sel was left on the Cinema when the party broke up and left the country in the spring of 1899. She is probably there yet, in a place called Beaver slough.
 Capt. MOrgan's party found fair pros poets, but not one of them Wa, an ex- perienced miner, and little real worl; was done. We were looking for $25 pans" he said, the other day, and d p cent pan would not have seemed very big in those days. In fact. we all got cold feet and because We did not find gold by the shoveful the country did not look good to most of us. It was on Wolverine gulch that we found fair prospects. The country is. l should say, a good looking one, and it no doubt. contains gold. There is an abundance of timber. About midway up the Cinema the valley is. probably, seven miles wide. with low. rolling foothills. The river valley becomes narrower as the stream is asccnded. and the surrounding country becomes more hlly and broken. with numerous bald mountains. as well as timbcr-cOv- cred hills. Towards the head he river branches, one branch being called the south, the other the north fork. On the left bank, few miles below the forks, there is a range of granite noun tains, and nearly directly opposite, on the other bank. there is another range called Canary mountains, and still fur rher up on the north fork is a range of high schiSt mountains, or hills.
