Firs Discovery of Gold
 in Alaska in 1882

Alaska is the new land of gold, and yet it was discovered here sixteen years before it was in California. The actual date of the first discovery of the yellow metal in what is now Alaska was in 1882. While the headquarters of the Russian American Fur Company was at Sitka, they sent supplies from there to Lukeen's fort by way of Nushagak river, Tic-chic river and lake down the Anauk to the kuskokwim, and thence by steam twenty-five miles to the fort. It was while on one of these trips in 1892 that the Russians discovered gold on the Anauk, and it is known today as the yellow river of the Russians. lt is not known whether they ever attempted mining on large scale, or whether they found gold in paying quantities, but it is the first time on record of gold being found in Alaska.-Ketchikan Mining Journal

MAIL MISSING
Two Lots Lost Above For tymile---Outside Mail
 Uncertain.

The carrier who arrived with mail from Eagle last Monday had no matter from any way point The reason is not Known; but it is not likely that there was nothing mailed along the entire route. Mail came through from Daw- son, but not from beyond that point.
 From the best information obtainable it looks like Jan. l2 is about the earliest date that outside mail may be looked for, The telegram printed below says the Canadian nail failed to connect with that leaving Eagle Dec II. The next mail to leave Eagle will be Dec, 2l, and with good luck it will come down in twenty-one days. There is bare chance, however, that outside mail left Eagle Dee. :.
 The extent of the loss spoken of below is problematical. It undoubtedly con sisted at least in part of tirst-clas matter.

 Messrs Hebb and kaulback are let ting no grass grow under their feet on Skookum creek They are taking out good pay dirt. They have got fire phonograph with lots of records.

This Custom is Now General.

1t has now become general and also
a safe rule to demand brands of goods
that are we'll known and have reputa
ton for quality and reliability. Nova
days the manufacturers of good goods
inform consumers of this fact and point
out that safety lies in buying the brands
that bear their names and trade marks.
In this respect the Mayer brands of
shoes are deserving of special mention
Our readers have no doubt become
familiar with these shoes and know OF
their excellent wearing quality by actual
use. The Mayer factory turns out shoes
suitable for every member of the family
and for all uses, Sunday Shoes and every
day shoes, and they are known through
out the broad expanse of our land as the
shoes of style and quality.
The "Honorbilt" are very popular fine
shoes for men and ''Western Lady,
shoes embody the fit and style demanded
by we'll dressed ladies'. For extreme
comfort Martha Washington" shoes
are highly recommended. Please bear
this in mind when next buying shoes.

Peach Crusts,

Roll plain paste one fourth of an
inch thick, and cut in circular shapes
of correct size to exactly cover in
verified circular individual tins. Prick
several times, using fork; place on
a tin sheet and bake in moderate
oven. Remove from the tins, arrange
on a serving dish, place half peach
in each case, and garnish cavity with
half of a blanched almond. Serve
with peach syrup.
Canned peaches are used for this
dish. Turn the peaches from the can
into granite-ware saucepan: add one
third of a cupful of sugar and few
grains of salt, and cook slowly until
the peaches are very soft. Drain and
dry the peaches on a towel before
putting into the crusts, and reserve
syrup to serve over crusts at the
table. In strawberry season this fruit
may be used in crusts and served
with whipped cream.-Miss Farmer

ORIENTAL NEWS NOTES.

Says the Pekin and Tientsin Times
"Japan's salt supply has fallen short
this year, presumably for lack of the
necessary hbor and application has
been made to China for 20 900. OO0
catties (about 3S,000,OOO pounds)
After due consultation with viceroy
Yuan it has been decided to grant this
sale, although the expectation of salt
is prohibited, and as a special mark OF
favor to Japan the whole amount will
be exported to Japan free of all duty
THE approaching executions are
fixed for the 9th eleventh moon, and il
is proposed to hold them at Wan Jen
keng, the place where the corpses are
usually taken and thrown after exc
cution, instead of as formerly near the
vegetable market. We believe the
custom is to throw the bodies into Q
deep hole, but not to inter them in the
ordinary sense, and it is thought bet
ter in future to make one job OF it and
execute the criminals at this spot.

MY DEAD.

They crossed her hands upon her
quiet breast,
Like two pure lilies without leaf
or spray.
They said, :. 'Tis over: this is but
her clay.
Lo, what peaceful smile She
longed for rest"
But sat dumb. :. and sadly closed
the day.
All night the tapers burned. All night
l sat
Gazing stone-eyed upon the sheeted
form,
Far off there rolled and flashed a
wandering storm,
Black as my sorrow, tearless-strange
as that.
And so I watched until the east
grew warm.
The good priest with his white and
flowing hair,
Spoke words of comfort, but |
heard them not.
Deep in my stricken soul-all else
forgot
Knelled that wild iteration of despair,
Alone-alone-Ah God! life's bitter
lot,
At first it seemed dream-but nov
so real.
The days will come and go. but
She is dead.
The flowers will nod and whisper
DER her head,
The birds will sing, the happy seasons
wheel,
But she'll not stir within her narrow
bed.
o priests! o calm believers in sweet
creeds!
Ye cannot sound the depthless
depths of woe;
How far the arrow pierced We canno;
know.
Nor can We stanch the wound that
inly bleeds-
Enough! Inscrutinable God hath
willed it so.

Lord and Lady Baltimore.

The orioles, too, were my constant
friends. had hoped that they would
build their nursery where | could see
its outer walls, but perhaps | gained
more entertainment from their dining
room in the ounce bush. When i
first came to the window a very large
and bright colored male was going
methodically over every blossom on
the bush. My lady Baltimore had not
yet arrived, but he expected her every
day and was continually calling for
her, 'Dearie? Dearie?" For the most
part he kept the bush to himself, but
at times he let young and very ele-
giant male with strange golden pencil
ings on his wing coverts take luncheon
with him. He was evidently a trav-
cling companion of his; l liked to
think of him as son of his last years
brood.
When my lady Baltimore came her
joyful lord was ecstatic. Everything
was glorious! glorious!" He show I'd
her the resources and delights of his
dining hall at once-and in her quiet
way think she appreciated them

WOman's Trials.

The bitter trail In a woman's life Is to
be childless. Who can tell how hard the
struggle may have been ere she learnt to
resign herself to her lonely lot? The alb
sence OF this link to bind marital life
together. the absence of this one pledge
to mutual affection is a common disap-
pontment. Many unfortunate couples
become estranged thereby. Even II they
do not drift apart, one may read the whole
extent Of their disappointment In the eyes
Of such a childless couple when they rest
on the children OF others. To them the
largest family does not seem too numerous.
In many cases of barrenness or child
lessness the obstacle 70 collaborating is
easily removed by the cure of weakness on
the part OF the woman. DR.. Pierce's Fa-
vorite Prescription has been the means Of
restoring health and fruitfulness to many
barren woman, to the great Joy Of the
household. In other, but rare cases, the
obstruction to the bearing Of children has
been found to be OF a surgical character,
but easily removable by painless operative
treatment at the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gtcai Institute, Buffalo, n y, over which
DIR. Pierce Of the nFavorite Prescription
fame presides. In all cases where chill
dren are desired and are absent. an effort
should be made TO find out the real cause,
since it is generally so easily removed by
proper treatment.
In all the various weaknesses. displace-
ments, prolspsus, inflammation and de-
bilitating, catarrhal drains and In all
cases Of nervousness and debility, DIR.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription is the most
efficient remedy that can possibly be used.
1t has 10 its credit hundreds Of thousands
OF cures more in fact than any other

ents OF which the rFavorite Prescription y

positive endorsement from the leading
medical writer's on N1terid Medicd OF all
the several schools Of practice. All the
ingredients are printed In ptcin English
on the wrapper enclosing the bottle, so
that any woman making use OF this
famous medicine may know exactly what

tients into his full confidence, which he

A FINE SIGHT.

There are pretty bits OF landscape
That enrapture all who see.
There's the mountain and the river
And the old majestic tree;
There are cool and shady corners,
Where the sunlight filters through,
But the dollar of our daddies
Makes the most attractive view.
There are large and ancient pictures
At which connoisseurs throw fits,
There are others quite as pretty
That you buy for just two bits;
There are photographs OF ladies
Who amuse as in the plays,
But the dollar Of the daddies
Has them all skinned forty ways
There are pretty girls in plenty,
Blond, brunette and extra pale;
Likewise many handsome babies,
If their mothers tell the tale;
There are scattered through the coun
try
Here and there some nobby gents,
But the dollar of the daddies
Makes them look like thirty cents.
Yes; we bow to King Mazuma
AS he sits upon his throne,
For, while others may have merit,
He is in a class alone;
Others may have fair proportions,
But they do not win the prize,
But the dollar Of the dadd'es
Is sight that rests the eyes.
