No Snoring.

Postmaster General Payne the othe1
day told a story Of something that he
once saw in a Milwaukee courtroom.
Through the kindness and tact of the
judge the court crier was saved from
4 fine.
Il one day attended" said Mr. Payne,
"a session of the court at which this
judge presided. The court crier was a
very old man: he had served with fidel
ity for many years. but age was be-
ginning now to tell on him. He fell
asleep while | was in the courtroom
and in a little while he was snoring.
The snorer. of course. disturbed the
proceedings of the court. but the judge
showed great tact in interrupting.
without embarrassing. the crier.
"'Crier Jones' he said in loud voice
-'Crier Jones, some one is snoringv
The erier awakened with a start
and jumped to his feet.
'Silencer he exclaimed. There
must be no snoring in the courtroom,
and he glared fercely all about him.

An Inspiration.

1t is wonderful TO realize how quick
" a musical conductor knows when
any of his musicians are not doing as
they ought to do. l. once read Of a
great orchestra of hundreds of pieces
being gathered together. When every
musician was doing his part. and the
sounds rose and fell like voices Of
many waters, the piccolo player
thought he would stop and see if the
leader would miss him. No sooner did
he stop than the leader pointed his
baton toward the silent man. and said.
''Play! Playi You are an essential
part of the piece. Do you hear me?
Play" So. in the great musical chorus
for the salvation of the. world, God
bids us each to sing and take our part,
as each bird of the woods has bis
singing part. Sing, Sing! Today in
Christs name sing. as the song birds
in the springtime. Sing your part IN
the Song of Moses and the Lamb"
Like the singing birds. we should not
only sing because we have an essential
part in Gods great chorus. but because
each song BIRD inspires other song
birds to sing. A little canary in Il
room alone may not care to MARBLE

ONE WAY
Chamber of Commerce Will Consider Worlds Fair

The question of how Skagway's in terests may best be represented at the worlds fair has leen given much thought by some of the citizens, and the presentation of Skagway of today by means of stereopticon views is of- fered as a solution
 The members of the chamber of com merce are asked to meet in special seS- sion this evening to discuss the ques- tion. At the request of the wOmen's auxiliary of Juneau, having this mat ter in charge, W. A.

IS GOOD
Dawson Outlook Is Very
 Promising

The outlook for business in the Klon- dike is much better this year than it has been for many years. That Is conceded by everyone who is at all familiar with the situation, according to II. B. Dunn, agent of the Canadian Pacific Railway at this place. MT, Dunn recently returned from Dawson, and speaking of the outlook for the season he said:
 "Things look very promising in the Yukon for a good years business. There has been heavy snow fall and plenty of water with which to work the claims is anticipated. There has been done fully 20 per cent, more work the Yukon this than there was last year. The output of gold should be correspondingly greater.

NEW ONE
Steamer Being Built for the
 Tanana River

So much satisfaction was obtained from the little light draft steamer Ko- yukuk on the river of the same name, that a craft very much similar is being built at Portland for use on the Tana- na. This steamer will be knocked down and shipped to St Michael on the first boat from Seattle. As soon as it can be rebuilt it will go on the run from the mouth of the Panama to Fair banks.
 The Koyukuk was built in Portland under the supervision of Capt. James Grey, and the same builders will con- struct the Panama boat.
 WThe new boat will be called the Ia mana, and like the Koyukuk, it will be the property of the Northern Conner cial Company.

Special to the Appeal.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 3O.-The
Russians and the Japs have met in the
first great land battle of the war and
authentic reports are to the effect that
the Japs carried of the day.
According to the most authentic dis
patches from the front, 10000 Japs
crossed the Yulu river and attacked
the Russian army in camp there. The
Russians had force % 10000 but at.
ter hard fought battle, the victory
went to the little brown men.
This victory means much for thu
japanese, as the outlook on the land
was very much against them, but with
numerous victories on the sea and this
great land battle in their favor, it
seems that the little nation is as able
to take care of it self as any on the
earth.
Great rejoicing is being made in
Japan and recruits are filing up the
ranks and swelling the fighting for. e
of the Mikados kingdom.

Own.
Every time visitor goes to the
Shaw Hot Springs north of this city,
there appears to him that there -
something lacking. The springs, as far
as the water is concerned, is as salts
factory as any that can be found in
the State, but the accommodations are
the reverse. A number of flattering>off-
ser have been made to thu proprietor
who runs the place, but they have been
declined and no one seems able to
secure the ground 1t is run simply as
place where the owner makes liv-
ing and to hell with the public
The old ramble shack of a buss,
dragged by two Indian cayuses, Is
worse tnan an excuse, while the bar
and accommodations are enough to
ruin the best impression of the west
that was ever given a visitor The road
is alawys out of gear and it shakes 2
tire off rig to travel over it. This
is not an exaggeration, but the down
right bed rock truth If man is look
ing for bath it can be found and
that ends the story.
To the south of this city some five
miles is no. spring that could be put
into condition for a small outlay of
cash. The water is just as good as that
at Shaws Springs and three times the
volume. 1t is situated where a garden
spot could be grown, is near the river
and would offer inducements for the
traveller and tourist, with a road
could be made to the springs at lit
tie expense Under the circumstances
either this city or some enterprising
individual could make good thing
for Carson and himself by taking up
| such scheme. The springs are far
superior to Steamboat and just as
| good as Valleys, while it is one-thicl
the distance from this city. After the
Carnival has passed into ancient his
tory, this city had better gather up
her energies and take up some such q
proposition that will bring in people
and give them a chance to get what
| they pay for and leave a better im
preston behind. Shaws Hot Springs
are not calculated to do much iowa !

LOST MINES.
Their Mission is to Make New Dis
covery.

SS'S'J'
Every once in a while some party
starts from every mining town in the
State to hunt for a lost mine. Some cf
the lost bonanzas have set men mai.
Some have lost their lives on the des-
erts and in many instances they have
bankrupted citizens who took stock in
the stories. However, the lost mine
has had the advantage CT bringing out
more Of the forsaken districts than
any one thing.
The old Breyfogle mine, in the SOU
thern desert has sent a hundred soles
TO their maker, but it did result in the
discovery of Randsburg and the Vel
low AstOr mine has taken millions
n money from the ground. 1t was Z
prCspector who was looking for the
lost Breyfogle, who ran across the des-
ert mines and his knowledge soon be
came known to the world with the re
suit that old mother earth has turned
over considerable OF her treasure 20
the world and the men who bought
out the lucky prospector.
Cut at Tonopah the discovery came
about by jim Butler looking for a
mythical mine and when he found It
he did not recognize the ground. Judge
Hawthorne found one of the Tonopah
mines on one Of his pilgrimages out
chat way, but he lost his bearings and
the ground was never again found un-
til the lucky day Jim Butler happened
onto it.
Half Of the mines in Nevada that
are now on the map were found by
someone who was on wild goose
chase, led there by some story CT
riches that a prospector had found AMI
lost again. Several parties in this
town have taken stock in lost mines
and while they have never realized
through the ventures, yet they are
willing to try again. The old Snowshoe
Thompson mine, which he told Of on
his death bed. resulted in the discov-
cry of the Alpine mines and prospec-
tors are looking for the old mine to
this day and every season brings in
new property from the effect of the
hunt. The case is the same in every
county and section It's the lost mines
that are bringing out the new ones,
and so long as people believe, there
will be new ground found where the
old was lost.

to their warnings When the car was
within three feet Of him and when every
one expected to see him ground to pieces.
