taps q locality of some richness and importance.
 One hundred and sixty-five miles out of Valdez on Slate river and little further along on the Nizina they are hard at it. over coming discouragments, spending long winters packing in grub and working early and late in the short summers delving in the ground. It is the same class of mining that is being done all over Alaska-the finding of gold bearing beds of streams, new and old. and sitting out their "colors." They had a stampede to the Nizina district last winter. Most of the stampeders came back disgusted. The gold is there, but you have to move bould- CTS as big as courthouses to get at it. This year they are going at it again and taking with them hydraulic machinery to boost the Instructions out of the way.
 1t is tramp, tramp. tramp-or to put it in the vernacular-"mush, mush, mush, ,"-all the time with the gold seeker, and the continual cry is a railroad or trail on which wagons can be run. The gold is lying in the Copper river valley in paying quantities, but it is to-day a continual robbing of the ground to pay for the transportation of sup plies and machinery. The route is quite feasible for a railroad. Only two mountain ranges will have to be crossed. The surveyors have already sought out easy passes.
 They show you rich copper speci- mems in Valdez in order to prove to you that Copper river is not a misnomer. Miners who come in will tell you how they are contin- ually taking copper out of their gold sluices and throwing it away. They take silver nuggets. too, and nobody knows how many other val uable elements of the old earth. There will be coal mined in the Copper river valley and crops har- vested. The expert from the de- partment of agriculture says that good gardens and plenty of forage for live stock can be raised on the ten millions of acres of arabic lands he estimates as being in the Copper river valley. Hardy grains will probably mature at least three years out of four. Up to date farmers have not focked to Valdez to go into the Copper river valley and get any of its lands in spite of the fact that Uncle Sam has offered to give away absolutely without cost, 32O acres to every man who will go and live on them. It costs 20 cents a pound to have supplies taken into that country in the win ter, and 50 cents pound in the summer. These are not farmers prices, but some day they will be over in that valley running the harvesters in the summer and shov- cling the daily fall of six inches of snow away from their barn doors in the winter. Perhaps it will be the widening of the trail that will produce this result, or perhaps it will be the building of railroad or a dozen of them. Who can tell? :?

a silver jubilee in Aberdeen ext June.
This order was established in Dakota
in the spring of 1880, at a place called
St. Anne's neal Fort Randall. Two
years later the headquarters were
removed 20 Fargo. Since the division

where the sisters have a convent, an
academy and st. Luke's hospital. They
also have converts at Milbank, Mitchell

Much of the success of their work in

ing exertions of the Mother Mary

A grand jury will be summoned for
Falls. One of the matters which ii
will have TO investigate will be the day
light robbery of the Agrant pawn
broking establishment in that city last
July. But rhe determination to call
the jury chiefly grew out of charges of
graft against city officials and others
which have been flying broadcast the
past six or eight weeks. Many of the
charges grew ont of the alleged collec-
ton during the street fair and carnival
last August of large sums of money
from gamblers and others for the
privilege of operating.
