tx7tH5|vt PAT. IS BEING FOUND AROUND THE
 PANAMA. tqua| To The k|ondIke
Recent Development Work Is Showing Up Rich
 Ground.

A gold hearing pay streak equal to that of the Klondike, is reported located in the new Panama camp. The gold in the new camp is moi confined to narrow streaks like that of the klondike, and therefore Is not of such richness to the buck ct. More ground will have to be worked to get equal quantities of gold, but tine hope is entertained that with the introduction of the proper equipment the output will be a marvel in time.
 The results accomplished SO far have been done by poor men, with few supplies and scarcely any other equipment than pan and shovel.
 The camp is fast rising in respect as mining community. Travel between Dawson and Fairbanks this winter is opening and promises to be heavy. No rush is antici- pated. bnt many are expected to move there in Il quiet way Sup plies are far too short to admit of a heavy influx hefore summer. | Thirtv-two miles of pay located on creeks proper-this the state ment made in regard to the Tan ana country by the Fairbanks News. The thirty-two miles is ex- exclusive of bench claims. many of which have been prospected and found rich. Neither is the width of pay streaks taken into considera- tion. Some of the pay streaks have been found to extend over width of more than three of the large American claims. When the camp was first struck development proceeded at a snail's pace. The discoverers were poor men, with scarcely means to con tinue work. The early stamped CTS were nearly all of the same class. Some Dawsonites represent ing heavy capital rushed into the camp last winter, but departed be- fore they had made more than cursory examination.
 They thought the camp never could be worked protitably except as low gra,le proposition handled on an extensive scale, but after hundreds had come and gone men of perseverance remained, and. liv- ing on moose meat and beans. de- veloped, after months of hard work, pay streaks which the News now says are located for the splendid distance of thirty-two miles.
 The News summarizes the loca- tion of pay streaks on the different creeks of the camp as follows: =
 Gold Stream-Pay bcated five miles, full extent of prospecting done.
 Gilmore-Three miles of pay in 
 sight. At 3 below pay uncovered is 1900 feet wide and limit not reached on either side.
 Pedro-Prospected for five miles, and not blank has been struck.
 Twin-A tributary, has one mile of pay. while the side claims, or benches. from 10 below to ? above are very rich.
 Cleary-Four miles have been prospected, with the usual result, good pay everywhere.
 Bedrock, one mile; Chatham, one and half miles, ,and Wolf, two miles of pay are in sight. These streams are tributaries of Cleary. Il Fairbanks-Eight miles of pay

STORY
or KUHlO'S ARREST

WASHINGTON, January Jonah
KaIanianaole, better known as Prince
Cupid. delegate TO Congress from Ha-
wan. had a belated celebration OF
New Years day last night and landed
in jail charged with disorderly conduct.
He had wordy war with a bill coli
lector and was arrested with the col
lector.
Prince Cupid tried to make it plain
to the policeman that the law did not
apply to members of Congress and
Princes of the blood royal, but his ar
gument fell on dull ears. At the First
Precinct Station Prince Cupid became
so angry that he would not put up IS
collateral and spent the night in jail.
This morning a friend heard of his
scrape, and put up the money without
Cupid's knowledge. Cupid was still
angry and wanted to fight the case.
He was provided with a cup of coffee
and sandwich at the expense of the
District of Columbia and conveyed in
the Black Maria to the police court,
where the case was postponed until
Thursday.

EVANS HELD TO
CLOSE NEUTRALITY

WASHINGTON, jan 6-Naval Of
fcials are somewhat embarrassed as to
the best disposition to be made OF
United States warships on the Asiatic
station in view of the iTnminence OF
war between Russia and Japan. The
policy OF the administration is to OBJ
serve the strictest neutrality and keep
hands off. except in the single con-
tingency of infringement upon Ameri-
can treaty rights
When Admiral Evans feet was or
dered back 10 its station from Honolulu
it was arranged that the cruiser squad
ron should stop at Midway Island,
where there is a cable station, to re-
celve any instructions the department
might desire to send These instruc-
tons were simply for Admiral Evans
feet to await instructions at Guam.
That dispatch was delivered to the
cruiser squadron, which touched at
Midway on the sd instant and left the
same day for Guam, the rendezvous Of
the entire squadron fleet
1t is expected that Admiral Evans
will reach Guam in a few days and re-
port his arrival to the department
Inquiry at the navigation bureau de-
velops the fact that up to this mo-
ment the admiral has received no spe-
cial instructions for his guidance in
the event of hostilities in the Far East
1t is now the purpose of the depart
ment to cable to the admiral a special
set of instructions to meet the present
conditions in the Far East, and those
instructions will be delivered to him at
Guam, according to the present pro-
gramme. 1t is said at the department
they will show no discrimination what
ever between the parties as to any pos
sible hostilities, but the admiral will
be expected to SO dispose of his force
as to maintain the appearance of strict
neutrality as between the belligerents.

u. S. G. WHITE LOSES
INCREASED PAY

The United states Supreme Court to-
day affirmed the decision of the Court
pay to Ulysses S. G.. White, a civil en-
gineer in the navy, under the Navy
Personnel act of 1899. Mr.. White was
appointed in 1887. He contended that
he had reached the maximum rate of
pay in the army by reason of five
years service before entering the navy,
and that he was entitled to a higher
rate for the time of his entire naval
service. The court held otherwise,
however, on the ground that the oper-
alton of the law is prospective and not
retrospective. This was a test case

as it will make the batter much
lighter.
Rugs are almost a necessity in
certain places in the kitchen to save
the wear of the floor covering or to
protect an uncovered floor, and the
best and easiest way to make these
rugs is to color all the pieces one
solid color with diamond dye for
cotton or wool as desired, then pre-
pare them as for carpet rags and
have them woven in common rug
lengths. One housekeeper colored
the pieces a dark brown and had the
rugs woven with warp and these
rugs were pretty as well as durable.
Then when they became soiled they
can be given a good scrubbing, and
they can be made to last long time
if you will tear some rags fine
enough to thread a darning needle
and darn the rug as soon as a small
hole appears. M. III.

the worse.

to steal. If you steal thing, you

Helps In the Kitchen.

Dear Aunt Jennie Nothing adds
more to the appearance of the kitch-
en- than shining windows, and if
they are never allowed to become
smoked or dingy it takes only a few
minutes to clean them. First, go
over them with a soft, dry cloth to
sible, then wash them with warm wa
ter to which has been added a little
kerosene oil. The oil is also good
for cleaning tin wash basins, and the
zinc under the stove may be kept
bright by rubbing with the oil and
then polishing with a soft, dry
cloth.
. If your stove is washed every
time you wash dishes, you will not
have to blacken it so often, espe-
cially if it is given a thorough rub
bing with old newspapers, and with
an occasional polishing and brisk
rubbing after each meal, the stove
will be clean and bright.
The common baking soda, too, is a
valuable aid to the housekeeper, as
the coffee pot may be kept clean by
adding soda to the hot water in which
it is scalded once a week, and the
soda is excellent for keeping the
outside of the coffee pot and other
tinware bright. The best dressing
for burns and scalds is baking soda
made into a paste with vaseline, or
any soft, unsalted grease, and if put
on soon enough it will prevent blis-
tering.
If you wish to mend broken dish,
make a light paste of the white of
an egg and -four and apply to the
broken edges, then join the pieces
together and fasten in position and
set the dish away until perfectly
dry.
A teaspoonful of baking powder
in mashed potatoes is a wonderful
aid in making them fluffy and light,
and when making -four batter cakes
the baking powder should never be
stirred in until just before frying,

to have known-it had too much
in it.
From that I learned it was only
a stiff cake, such as a pound cake,
that could bear much butter.
[ learned, too, that a cake cooked
too slow is tough. Note the result on
bread, or an egg, both tough and
leathery. All the ingredients that
go into a cake can be cooked at quite
a low heat. Note how easy sugar
and butter are to burn. I have no
trouble now.
I wanted to tell the sisters how I
cleaned the porches, etc, last summer.
[ took a damp day when the specks
are soft, and with broom and hose,
[ soon had them-some 12O feet or
more-cleaned overhead and all, and
the blinds included.
We all know how tedious it is to
dust springs. Well, we laid the
springs on the lawn and turned the
hose on them, and it was delight
to see the dust vanish, and from
every crack and crevice I tried it
on bedsteads also, wiping promptly,
and the success was perfect. And
again, on a ceiled room, and ward
robe included, and there was not one
bad effect-all good-and done in
one-fourth of the time. A warm,
windy day is especially good for in
side work. ..---. -

Practical Experiences of Housekeeper.

1IdC4Cdu Experiences VI AOuSekeePeIs
Dear Aunt Jennie IF 7 can get
in without monopolizing our space,
I shall finish my letter as I prom
ised.
About the keeping of apples. I will
add: I tried a few years before to
gather them very carefully, as I sup
posed that was the chief difficulty.
| wrapped each one in paper sepa-
rately and put them in barrels, and
in week they we're mellow, and very
soon we're too soft to keep. Some
were in a close cellar and some in
a close room.
I have always had a disposition
to fathom to the bottom of things.
So I'll tell my experience in cake
making. When I was married I had
never made a cake-quite a bad
calamity, I'll admit-but nothing
daunted, I got my cookbook and
made some fine successes, and being
so elated with the results, I supposed
[ had the art down fine. At this
juncture I began to make some des-
perate failures. It is of these fail
ures I am to tell, for our knowledge
is often fixed by failures.
Well, I had gotten the proportions
right, I knew, but some of the re-
cipes said: "The more they are
beaten the lighter they are" Well.
there was no limit to that, and I
wanted limit. I had a colored girl
that was obedient enough, and good
natured enough, to do anything I
said So I told her we would double
the quantity and put the ingredients
into a churn that turned with a
handle and had a dash inside. She
would turn awhile and then I would.
Hal when we took it out, the batter
was as smooth as a beaten biscuit.
The air which we we're after had
been whipped out; so I overthrew
that theory, and now I can go on my
way rejoicing.
Another time was trying to make
some especially nice. [ had some
very rich butter and put one-half
pound in a cup cake. When it came
from the oven it was no higher than
when put in. I was so disappointed
I did not have the heart to look for
the cause; but this same girl took
piece and pressed it between her
fingers and the butter was ready to
drip out. She told me what I ought
