an interesting meeting in the speak

a serious breach between the two gen

views upon the PhfliDnine tariff bill
and the statehood bill has long been
evident and it was in regard to this
that the meeting occurred today.
Mr. Babcock took exception to an
article appearing in the newspapers,
and preferred request he be recog-

A Rippino Dream.

When my uncle first started in
business as a general merchant in
country town it was in partnership
with a young fellow of about his own
age.
Both boys were very enthusiastic
about their work. and after long days
behind the counter they would go to
their room above the store and con-
time to talk shop" far into the night
My uncle's partner was particularly
engrossed in his work, and often his
sleep was disturbed by dreams of Gus
toners and big sales.
One might his nightmare reached
the climax. Evidently the dreamer
was just in the act of selling some
cotton goods, for my uncle felt his
night shirt go rip straight up the
back, while his partner was calmly

that the men were safe on board the
stranded vessel During the night
their surf boat broke from its moor
ings and came ashore. That the tugs
are still lying close to the steamer
is made apparent by the proximity OF
their lights.
Early it was thought that the YES

The wrecking tugs had succeeded
during the night in moving the steam
er about fifty feet toward deep water
but had to desist owing to the high
wind. Old captains who are familiar
with the coast hereabouts say there
is no danger of the Cherokee going
to pieces so long as her bow can be
kept in the soft bed Of sand. The
only danger, they say, would be in
the waves striking the vessel broad

SOME TALES OF GOLD HUNTERS
Extraction of Metal More Difficult
Than It's Eindinn

Extraction of Metal More Difficult
Than Its Finding.
The difficulty of the gold hunter
in Alaska is not SO much the finding
of gold deposits, as in the extraction
of the gold when found, the chief OBJ
stacle being the perpetually frozen
ground encountered by the placer
miner, says the Philadelphia Record.
According to the report issued by
the United States geological survey,
it is common practice to use steam
to thaw out the frozen ground in drift
work.
This is accomplished by means of
hollow steel points," from five to ten
feet long, which are set up on the
ground and steam or hot water turned
on. These points are gradually driv-
en- into the soil a distance of four or
usually operated in batteries on
about three-foot centers.
During the night shift, men are en-
gagged in thawing sufficient gravel for
the men to work during the day. The
points are driven in with a mallet, as
the soil is gradually thawed and are
left in the bank from ten TO fourteen
hours. Each point thaws a block
about thirty-six inches in diameter,
that is about eighteen inches on all
Sides 1t requires little more than one
boiler horse power to supply steam
for single point. Wood is used ex-
clusively for fuel, notwithstanding it
costs $12 a cord.
