ON THE CREEKS

George Shirley and Charley Mayo are awaiting the completion of their thawer at Cap Mayo's boiler shop. They will work on No. Seattle creek.
 Nelson, Olson & Bush, on Joe Bush creek, have one shaft to bedrock and another Effect down. The first shaft struck the rim. No water bothered, and if the second shaft remains clear, the chances are good for Joe Bush be- ing dry creek.
 Scribner, Hall & Henderson have one shaft to bedrock on 3a Thanksgiving, and have struck a paystreak 6-feet in thickness. The claim is the property of R. H. Wright, and the shaft which disclosed this pay is above where MT. Wright worked last winter.
 M. s. Gill has just completed sys- tenn of shallow trenching on Seattle and Rhode Island to cause the surface seep- age to glacier. This will store water for the summer operations on "a Glen next season. The idea is said to be good and will materially increase the usual supply.

One Koyukuk
 Winter Creek.
From Dawson Weekly News

From Dawson Weekly News
 DAWSON, Sept. 22. Minnie creek is about the only stream of prominence in the Koyukuk this year. yet the camp will produce for the season of 1905 per- haps half million dollars. This is the estimate made by w. D. Cram, the reindeer expert who has just arrived from the Koyukuk. He says:
 Minnie will be worked considerably this winter, but it is not likely there will be much winter work on the other streams in the Koyukuk. A number of thawing outfits are on Minnie.
 '.The John river strike proved fail- ure this summer Midas creek, which was boomed by Duncan and Griggs last year. has also proved no good.
 Tremendous rafhs have prevailed in the Koyukuk this summer.
 Mail service on the Koyukuk has been bad this summer. By the contract five mails are to be delivered during the summer, but not at any fixed intervals. From June53 to Aug. this year we had no mail at Bettles. The str. Koyukuk was busy much of the season freighting goods up the river from a barge taken part of the way up by the Rock Island.
 "A man named Boyle was drowned not long ago in the John river, a tribu- tary coming into the Koyukuk near Bettles.
 "A number of people who attempted to cross the Dali river trail between the Yukon river and the Koyukuk river were lost during the summer but were all found again. The trail crosses many streams, none of which are bridged, and this makes travel over the route precarious. Some of the men lost near ly famished before they found their way out or were rescued

Geological Survey
 Complete Work

 Prof. U. s. Grant and Sydney Paige, of the U. s. Geological Survey. Alaska Division of Mineral Resources, have completed their seasons work on the Sound. Prof. Grant returns to the states to resume his work at the North western University and Mir. Paige goes to Kayak to assist MT. Martin in other geological work.
 The object of the survey made this summer were two fold: First, a study of the mineral deposits; second, a geo. logical reconnaissance of the Sound. Practically all the copper prospects on the Sound were visited. though most of the time was devoted to study of the copper properties at Latouche. 1DlIamar Boulder and Landlock bays. The geo. logical work was continued around the eastern and northern shores,s on Knight island and most of the western shore.
 The first report of this survey will be in the nature of an official bulletin, and it will be probably some time before a complete report is published. News.

HOW TO DISCOVER SPRINGS
Great Deal from Natures
Signs About Them.

There is undoubtedly practical art
of discovering springs. Indians or
Aontiersmen can find water in the des-
ert when ''tenderfoot" cannot Mexi-
cans and experienced prospectors can
similarly find ore. These arts consist
mainly in the recognition of superficial
signs which escape the ordinary OBJ
observer, says Casters Magazine.
1t is not necessary that the operator
should consciously note these signs sep
arately and reason upon them. No
doubt he frequently does so, though he
may not give away the secret of his
method to others. But in many in
stances he recognizes by association and
memory the presence of a group of in
dications, great or small, which he has
repeatedly found to attend springs or
ore deposits.
This skill, due to habit, is often almost
unerring for given limited district, but
under new conditions it breaks down
Old miners from California or Australia
have often made in other regions the
most foolish and hopeless attempts to
md gold, because they thought this or
that place looked just like some other
place in which they had mined success
fully.
Apart from the magnetic minerals,
there is no proof that ore deposits ex-
hibit their presence and nature by any
attraction or other active force. With
regard to water, however, there may
be an action affecting the temperature
and moisture of the everything surface
Even here, however, it seems more like
ly that such effects are manifested visi-
bly, to a close observer rather than by
direct affection of his nervous or mus
cular system. The favorite fields for
water OWNERS are regions in which wa
ter is abundant, but not gathered upon
given horizons of impermeable strata
underlying porous rocks

bs WANT to know exactly how to
to write this story" began the
girl.
The author regarded her moment
meditatively, with the tips Of his fingers
pressed lightly together, after the man
ner of Sherlock Holmes. He was tall
and thin, yet (Which seems strange in
an author) elegantly attired. His face
was clean shaven and of classic, inter-
esting type-the forehead broad, the
nose straight, the eyes deep set anu
fathomless, the mouth sensitively cut,
yet firm The girl was inclined to think
him handsome; she knew he was sue
cessful; she conceived him to be clever
Before writing a story he said,
after a moments thoughtful pause,
there are two things for the writer to
determine"
"Only two?" said the girl, in a tone
of relief.
We'll, two main things" he corrected,
gently. "One is whether his story is
worth writing"
Mine is certainly worth writing"
broke in the girl, impatiently.
The author waved his hand with
mild, protesting gesture.
"Of course" he observed. 1.-The other
is whether the writer can write it.
But" said the girl, drawing her
eyebrows together, that is just what |

'What-to ask me to write it?" ex-
claimed the author, in some perturba-
ton.

find out how it ought to be written.

ENGLAND HOLDS HER OWN.
Why the Number of Immigrants
Here Is Smaller Than from
Other Nations.

From 1889 to 1903 the entire number
OF aliens who came to our shores was
20,S58,677. When this immigration be-
gan the United States had a population
of about 100000, which since then has
increased what countries contributed
most to this immigration, the answer
would promptly be, Germany, Ireland
and England. And this would be cor
rect, for Germany furnished one-fourth
of the immigration, Ireland 1874, 269 and
England 2,739,937.
These figures, says the Kansas City
Journal, with a few others, explain the
reason why the primitive language, Gus
toms and laws of the United States have
remained comparatively intact The
original 100000 colonial Americans
practically all spoke English, and they
and their descendants have been assist
ed by the Irish and English emigrants
above mentioned and $685. Scotch en-
igrants, and possibly by 1,050,683 Brit
ishers from Canada, who all have been
racia1ly interested in preserving the pre-
dominance of the Anglo-Saxon tongue
and its institutions
So there have, in fact, been no more
than 100000 aliens to exert their in
fiuence against the established order OF
things. When they arrived they found
provision made to prevent any change or
disturbance. The government, placed
upon a stable foundation, had been SO
ingeniously planned that as result laws
and public proceedings were habitually
written and transacted in English, and
that language was the only one gener-
ally taught in the public schools. Fur
thermore, these 100000 emigrants
spoke various tongues, no one of which
was able to compete in numbers with
the English-speaking races. Consequent
ly the newcomers, whether they inter-
mingled with the older Americans or at
tempted to segregate themselves, all
found it necessary eventually to adapt
themselves to conditions already exist
ing in the land.
The tendency OF the emigrants has al
ways been to locate in old settled parts
Of the country. This fact is especially
noticeable to-day. 1t is the American of
the original stock who has been the p1o-
neer and frontiersman. He opened the
wildernesses for settlement, and when
the emigrants moved slowly on they
found that he had established his Ian
guage, customs and laws as he went.
America is now American for good. The
immigration Of recent years is not of as
desirable class as that of former times,
but nevertheless there is not much dan
ger that it will exercise bad influences
to the extent which is so much feared.

Chronic stomach troubles, nervous

from a week of extra "good living. "
Nearly everyone is bothered with

Canned Birds from China.

America is not the only country in the
world that excels in canning meats and
vegetables. At the St Louis exposition
was shown canned rice birds from
China. These little birds are much like
our own reed birds, and as they live in
the rice fields, they become very fat and
luscious. They are esteemed highly in
China and are preserved with skill. Por-
tugal preserves immense quantities of
fish. Germany has made some inter-
esting experiments in canning. One of
these is called calorit, the name refer
ring to the device whereby the vege-
table or meat enclosed may be heated
by puncturing the can. Two chambers
inclose the inner can, one holding lime
and the other water The puncture per-
mits the water and the lime to meet.
and the shaking process which follows
causes heat
