Thre2-Quarters of Alaska
 Still UnpxplOred
Seattle POst-Intelligencer.l


 The possibilities which lie in Alaska for the future discoveries of placers rivaling or surpassing any which have ever been opened to the world are dis closed in a few remarks by Albert H. Brooks, who has been in charge of geo logical work in Alaska for some years, and who will head parties comprising 90 men for similar work during the present summer.
 Alter referring to the vast amount of work which has been done by the geo. logical survey, and to the immense amount of preliminary exploration which has been done by individual pros pectors, Mir. Brooks says that three quarters of Alaska is still unprospected, Even in that portion which has been partially prospected there are still lat ent possibilities of large discoveries which have been passed over in the mere surface skimming of preliminary prospecting work. AS he points out dozens of practical miners had skinned over the Kloudike regions before the great discovery was made which opened to the world one of the greatest gold producing placer districts discovered in this generation at least.
 Alaska has passed through it's pie turesque and dramatic period of min ing. The real and solid work upon which the permanent prosperity of the great northern territory must be based has but now commenced. There may be no more such discoveries as those which made wealthy men out of adven- turers, whose sole capital was pack full of food and few tools, but capital invested in practical mining work in Alaska promises to earn great dividends for generations to come.

ACOMMON ERROR
The Same Mistake Is Made By Many
 AIaSka People

It's common error
 To plaster the aching back,
 To rub with liniment rheumatic joints,
 When the trouble comes from the kidneys.
 Doan's Kidney Pills cure all kidney ills.
 c. A. GilsOu. switchman in the R. R. yards, of l2l5 Jackson street, Red Bluff, Cal, says: "For six months 1 knew my kidneys were in some way upset, probably weakened from the contrac- tlon of a cold which settled across the Joins or perhaps excited from Overex- ertion. Be that as it may, when my back was aching l asked Mrs Gilson to Ego to the drug store one day for Dosn's Kidney Pills and I took a course of the treatment. It stopped the backache, Up to date there has not been a symptom of a recurrence, thus proving to me cOnclusively that Doan's Kidney Pills act as repre- sented."

RoMANoFF THRONE IN DAN
 GER.

People writing from St. Petersburg say that Russia cannot afford to permit the Japanese to win the war that is being wsged in the east. It is true, and this fact is realized by the government, which has announced that rather than 10 allow the fortunes of war to go against the czar the MuScovite empire will be taxed to the extremity of it's re- sources. Defeat at the hands of Japan would not only destroy the prestige of Russia in Europe but it would very likely put an end to the control of the ezsr over his heterogeneous subjects, who have been held in check through fear of the great RomanoG power, which has been represented to them as unlimited and worldwide. Those who have travelled up and down the Russian domain say that if the sluggish peaSan- try of that country were made to know that it were possible to defeat the armies of the czar, Nicholas would be summoned to his Runnymede ere the Tvallows fly. In other words, the ezar is fighting for his throne and his min isters and retainers for the glory of power and a continuation of imperial favors.
 This being the case, it were time that Russia quit bragging, swag- gering and bluHing and began fighting. Notwithstanding the enormity of the stake tur which Russia does battle, the armies and navy Oi Japan continue to win victories, and they have given DO intimation of a disposition to cease doing 30 until they shall have driven the bear and all his tribe out of Man churis. The Japanese are not con- cerued as to the results of the war as they may apply to Europe, nor are they dismayed by the boasts of power that come from the St. Petersburg war Of- fee. They are fighting for definite pur- poses and are depending upon the abil- ity of the men in the field to secure re- suits. They are making DO effort to influence public opinion as to what is being done at the front, but are willing to take chances on the verdict that his tory will record as to the results and the credit.
 To an impartial observer it would aP- pear that the Russians should realize the fruitlessness of their vain boast ings; the absurdity of their pompOus and ridiculous claims of victories where no battles have been fought or where de- feats have been sustained. They should understand by this time that the his tory of which they pretend to be so proud is counting for nothing. Japan is fighting the Russian army and navy as 1t is now organized, and not the le- gions of Peter the Great, of SuwarrOw or of SkobeleT, and they persist iu re- fusing to be frightened at the stories of the great achievements of these men. The Japanese can be defeated in only one way, and that is by being out fought or overpOwered on the field of battle. They cannot be blufed. They will run from DO bOgie man, and will quit only when whipped. There is a growing sentiment that to whip them is more than Russia can do, and that the throne of the RomanOffs is in real danger.
