A struggle for the possession of an Alaskan gold mine, which in less than five years has yielded more than S1 ,300,- 900, is now going on secretly before a board of arbitration in Chicago. The claimant is the Swedish Evangelical Mission Covenant of America, through former missionary, N. O. Hulterberg, of San Jose, Cal, and the action is di- rected against P. H. Anderson, of Chi cago, another former missionary, Dr. c. w. Johnson, also of Chicago, and the White Star Mining Company, in which a number of Chicagoans are interested. The dispute reaches back to the first discovery of gold in Alaska and hinges on the point whether missionary, sent into the Northern wilds to make con- verts for his church, was likewise act ing for his church when he staked out 8 number of mining claims. These claims have been developed into highly profitable gold mines, out of which several men have made fortunes. Miss Dora Adams, an Eskimo convert, and Constantine Aparasooki, also an Eski- mo, are witnesses for the church or ganization. Ex-Judge Charles Johnson, of Nome, is another witness from Alas ka. Thus far nearly twenty witnesses have testified.

 While coming down the Silver creek mountain last Wednesday, Otto Coch- rane, stepson of R. T. Lamb, met with a painful accident. In making the descent which is very steep, near the Doctor quartz claim his foot slipped on the hard snow and he rolled down the mountain side about 75 feet, break ing his nose and bending a rib bone so that it pressed against his lung, caus- ing intense pain. He lay insensible for some time but after coming too sue. ceeded in making his way down to his home near the second basin. Luckily, Dr. Shultz who carae down from Juneau by the last trip of the Seolin, was at the house and succeeded in straighten- ing the rib, and by last accounts Otto was in fair way toward recovery.

Jacks Religion.

Chilcoot Jack, one of the best known and most popular of all Chilkat Indians has new grievance against the Chris tian Indians at the mission town down the canal, says the Skagway Alaskan. In fact Jack has never had very high regard for Christian Indian, and the fact that be is inclined to boast of his lack of faith in the religion of the missionary may be responsible for it.. Jack brides himself that he is just like the business man rather than like the missionary.
 "Nika telate cocqua Boston store man; halo Clistian," said he one day when in confidential mood
 However, to get back to Chilcoot Jacks latest grievance the following letter was written by Jacks little girl, who translated the story as dictated by Jack:
 SKAGwAY, MARCH 5, 1904, To THE EDIToR:-
 In Haines Mission left all my things becuse many of Christians are there, and most of the Indians are all Christ ians. 1 went down to Juneau letting my things stay at Haines, and they were all stealed by the Christian Indians, all of my things. The Indians don't think stealings are bad. This is three times they steal all my things and they just keep doing it because never talk ed about it or tell on them, but now they have to look out next time.

Will Be a Beauty.

When the Alaska Steamship Com pany's steamer, Jefferson, now being built at Tacoma, is launched on March 14th, she will be found to be one of the finest vessels plying in these waters. The company is sparing To expense in the building and finishing of this yes. sel, and it is confident that she will prove popular ship from the start. The Jefferson is about the size of the Cottage City; and it is expected that she will enter commission on the first of July.
 That she is to be speedy boat is in- dicated by the fact that she will have three boilers, each weighing fifty tons. They were made in Buffalo, N r., and are being found too big to go through the tunnels on any of the trans-conti- mental railway lines; arrangements had to be made for their conveyance to New York City, there to be shipped round the Horn on the Hawaiian-American steamer Texan, which left New York January 10. It was found that the huge boilers would not go into any of the freight line tunnels between Buffalo and the metropolis. so the Erie canal had to be used. En route on the canal they were frozen up in the terrific cold. After they had been cut out of the ice, permission had to be obtained from the New York Central railway to take the boilers on specially constructed cars through the passenger tunnels to New York City. At last they reached their destination and were put on board the big steamer Texan, which will arrive on the Sound about the time the Jefferson is launched.
 The Jefferson is wooden ship and ! will have cargo-carrying capacity of about 500 tons. Her passenger accom- modations is to be equal to any on the coast, say her owners, and nothing will be forgotten in the effort to make her staunch and comfortable, as we'll as fast and commodious.-Victoria Daily Col onist.

Beauty and Old Age.

1t is no longer = disgrace for wom-
an to be old or to look DID," provided
she retains in her maturity those gra-
ces and accomplishments that lend
charm to the sex at any age. Woman
has made notable advances in the last
fifty years. but none more marked than
that which records her ability to re-
tain her beauty long after she has
acknowledged herself to be growing
old.
This achievement was the despair of
the woman whose survivors compose
the grandmothers of the Goth century.
In the days whom they were young most
women led contracted lives. The house
where they presided was their world;
all outside of thCt circle was praeti-
cally an unknown sphere. Usually
they were mothers OF large families Of
cnildren, the rearing. OF which taxed
them heavily with constant cares and
services. They did more and harder

The HuRhYlNa HOURS.

Hov often the thought comes home
to me,
As the moments hurry away,
OF the things | intended to do
Somehow, some time, some day.
There are promises that have not
been kept,
Though | always meant to be true,
But time is too short for all the
things
That body intends to do.
I will answer a letter, or read book,
/ will write bit of rhyme:
4 will do the things that l ought to
do
Some day when have time.
$50 look beyond, as | hope and plan
For the days that are just ahead,
While the day that is here goes into
the grave
With it's opportunities dead.
To-day is the day that we havt
OF tomorrow we can't be sure;
To seize the chance as it comes along
Is the way to make it secure.
For every year is shorter year,
And this is truth sublime
"A moment misspent is a jewel lost
From the treasury of time.

Fashion Mo es.

The dress hats are anything but
wintry looking.
Stocks laced with chenille cords and
tassels are new.
Last years muff certainly looks a
little eut of date.
Narrow ruchings Of ribbon are IA
vored for trimming.
Make your black coat dressy with
some shiny moEair braid.
These sequin robes are most effec-
tive, made in princess fashion.
Emerald green is color somewhat
affected in the seasons chapeaux.
The pretticst wood buttons are COW
cred with "pokerwork'' designs.
It's a nice idea to slip bit of fra
grant sandalwood into each Christmas
package.
At the present, although full skirts
are in vogue, fashion demands that the
figure below the waist be made as
slender as possible.
Gernets are fashionable again af-
ter long eclipse and the girls are
looking for old bracelets, brooches, and
necklaces in their mothers jewel box
eS.
Among the favorite colors is red.
which certainly looks well, even IL it
is rather striking Green is also mo-
ticeable and will no doubt be popular
in the spring.
The newest gloves are white and
cream mocha kid. made mannish fash
ion, with single button and heavy
arrow stitching. Pearl and biscuit col
ored fine suede are also worn.
Braids, wide and narrow, are impor-
tant just now, as they are used to a
great extent. especially on tailored
gowns. Braid effects, carried out in
velvet ribbon or embroidery strips, are
used on moro elaborate gowns.
A blue Henrietta skirt is finished
around the hem with three graduated
tucks. The blouse of dyed blue lace
is covered with round wafer spots OF
the cloth edged with tiniest piping of
blue chiffon velvet. There is high
girdle OF the velvet.

Useful to Know.

A formula for stopping ones hair
from falling can be made at home by
simply buying the ingredients and
.ken blending them. 1t is made by
.aking an ou..ce of JamSiea bay rum,
an ounce and 9. half of cospanut oil,
.wo and one-quarte. drains of tincture
Of nux vomic1, and twenty drops OF
Dill of bergamot. Use this to massage
he scalp witt. in rotary motion, with
he tips of the fingers.
Nothing is more positive sign OF
4 careless woman than torn gloves and
lntidy shoes, waist bands that sever
connections, or, or collars that part
company witt: the shirt waist. Try
aot to be oae of them. You defeat
your ends, and neither look well, nor
.eel comfortable. Dress carefully, and
aim at plainness and neatncss rather
than a more SLOWLY style of costume.
For bilious headache-Two tea
