AnotAes Copper Discovery.

While ewt prospecting last sum- mer along the Sound Antone Eide and Jim Fielder, ran npon a ledge at the head of Boulder bay; they did but little more than locate it, and could not at that time say much as to it's size or rquality. But this sea- son Jim Fielder and another party have put in considerable time in uncovering the ledge, and blasting at Omber of places to ascertain it's character. They are now able to state that the ledge is twelve feet wide, with clearly de- fined walls. It is a heavy body of copper sulphurets, and very much resembles the ore of the Gladhough mine, of which it is supposed to be a continuation although two and a half miles from it.
 The claim is at the head of Boul- der bay and the outcropping where the work has been going on this season, is about f70O feet distant from the shese, on the side of a mountain, that starting from the shore towers upwards at an angle of about 45 degrees. This location for mine is very advantageous in many ways; it has & fine harbor, with water deep enough to admit a steamer to almost touch its bank right under the ledge. Samples have been sent to this office.

Never Saw a Horse.

'1t is hard to believe that there are persons living in the Western hemisphere who never saw a horse" i" said Quartermaster John +. Rice at the Normandie, Denver, Colo, "but such is the case. 1 well recollect when with the Abercrombie expedition in 1899 we found ourselves one September night several hundred miles from nowhere. Just as the sun was sinking over the Alaskan range the camp was startled by tthe report of a rifle-
 "We sprang to our feet, prepared for any emergency when our native guide discovered across the narrow valley an Indian who had just brought down a caribou. By the use of signs and signals he was in- duced to come into camp After we had tanked him up with strong tea and loaded him to the guards with pork and beans his tongue limbered up and through one of the guides, he informed us that he was Matanuski, by the way, the fiercest tyibe ln Alaska, and that he was hunting caribou. At the time We discovered him he was 15O miles from the encampmsnt of his ftribe, which shows that the fellow had his nerve with him. He had never seen a horse and our pack anamils excited his curiosity and wonder. He declared that no member of his tribe had ever seen la horse, all transportation in his country being conducted by dog teams hitehed to sleds in winter, and by pack degs in summer. What aroused him nest was to see the animals eat grass, and every time they would grab a mouthful of forage he would almost go into convulsions, he thought it so funny. In an ethnoiogical sense the Mat anuskis resemble Apache Indians of our plains. They subsist on the flesh of the caribou and brown bear the counterpart of the rocky noun tain grizzly, and quite as feroeious, and are greatly feared by the other tribes of Alaska because of their fierce disposition and warlike na- ture. Our guides, who were shore Indians seemed to be afraid of the newcomer, and he treated them with naughty contempt. When eves he would shoot fierce glance at them they would quail like whipped CUTS, and slink away from his sight.
 We found the shore Indians quite a jolly lot of fellows. Con- pared with the Matapuskis they were quite sociable and inclined te be obliging to white people. When eamped on the Yukon quite re. gently I heard a small band of them singing the familiar song.

More than twenty years ago that
consecra ed man of God, Rev. a. G.
Viii. OK, came in our community and
began to preach the Word of God under
a brush arbor. God blessed his nf S.
sages OF loye and souls we're convert

ii the venerable DR.. j. D. Hufham and
Rev Il. E. peele, be soon organized us
into a church and during the y-*rs
since has been our beloved pastor.
Daring this period, under his able
ministry, hundreds have professed
faith in Christ and be.n received into
our fellowship. He has baptized our
children, buried ous dead, co,nforted us
in our sorrows and led Us en- in the
Lords work, as We believe no ether
man could have done. To our great
sorrow he has resigEed Tie care O! cur
church. He has taken this step solely
because be feels that God has called
him to ar other field Of labor. Since
the day he first came among us, he has
been the unanimous choice Of orr peO-
pie. and we loye him as we do no other
man. The church desiring to express
their love for him. passed the follow
| ing resolutions:
Whereas, Our beloved pastor, Rev.
A. G. Wilcox, who has SO faithfully

from US we have lost preacher of
great ability and one Of the very best
pastors and Christian workers.
9. That we gladly testify to his su'
perb Christian chars cter, his spotless
Ii life and his unselfsh devotion to the
cause Of Christ.
3. That our prayers shall continually
be for the richest blessings OF God
upon him and his family In their new
field, and that we thus assure lin OF
lour continued love and that with graf
lltuue we shall ever remember his
labors among US.
4. That if at any time In the provi
dence of God he should locate again in
reach of us, he may be assured tha
loving welcome TO our homes and t.

SENATE.-The most of the time in
the Senate was taken up in discussing
the "Whistle and Bel" bill, which
provides that railroad engineers shall
blow whistle and ring hell when
they see persons on the track in front
HoUsE.-In the House the liquor
question was considered at length.
The Smith bill was defeated.
FOR THE LONDON BILL.
Then the Watts bill was once more
laid before the House, and Mess. Ben
bow and Grant gave notice of ame::d-
ments, after which Mr. Morphew, of
Graham, arose and said that one thing
had struck him forcibiy in connection
with this discussion, and that was that
every gentleman that had spoken
seemed to claim that he was better
temperance man than any one else on
the floor, but yet none of the bills
seemed to suit him exactly. He
thought they ought to be willing to
vote for the best bill they could get.
He then addressed himself to the
London bill, which he had said be
would offer as a substitute. Every
man that could conscientiously sup
port the Watts bill could still more
conscientlously vote for the London
BILL
The Watts bill ai,lei 70 driye liquor
from the Unprotected districts. But
the London bill stipulated the size of
the tow ns, so that only those that had
proper police protection could have
liquor. Moreover, the London bill
gave the hope of getting rid of liquor
in the towns themselves.
AS piece of temperance legislation
the Watts bill was an utter failure.
It did not meet the requirements OF
the people at all.
AS matter of fact, the rural dis
trlcts we had heard so much about
were the most peacable parts OF the
State. There were ten times as many
boys ruined by drink in the towns as
| in the country. Ten times as many
men were killed by liquor in the towns
The London bill was the only bill
that really answered the demands o1
the people II this House is really IN

to pass the London bill.
It was said that the time was not
ripe for it. Suppose you were about te

were to tell you that the time was no
ripe to kill it, but to wait until it
poison had entered into some more O

As to the argument that 1t would
bring discord into the Democratic par

to the Democratic party in opposing
the measure than in voting for it. l
