GoId Outuut of Alaska.

The gold mines on the American
side of the line in the far northwest
are this year for the ffVst time pro-
ducfng much larger quantities OF the
precious metal than are being found
in British territory. The yield for
1905 at Nome and in the surrounding
district is estimated by experts at ap-
proxfmately s1O,OO0,0OO, and the Tan
ANA valley has cleaned up $7'OOO.OoO.
Last year the total gold production
fog all Alaska was $g,050,000, or near
ly $1,000 900 less than this years
cleanup at Nome alone. where the
principal increase took pace during
the last summer. It is safe to assume
that the entire Alaskan gold output
will not be far short of $4,000, 900 On
the other hand, the Klondike output

She proceeds to carefully hide the

Pauline Westerly wonders what

says the other, and Pauline is sur
prised at her beauty when bushes
creep over her cheeks, forehead and
neck, while at the same time she feels
an uneasiness in the presence of this
Castilian girl, who somehow reminds
her of beautiful tigress, purring, and
with sheathed claws, yet ready to

maid Dora, but which Just at present
bears but small resemblance to that
character.
Miss Westerly lights the gas and
closes the door; then she surveys Dora
in wonder. Has the girl suddenly
taken leave of her senses? She sits
there alternately laughing and looking
very sober, as different thoughts come
