Cadzoe, the trader at Rampant House, made the prospectors welcome on their way out. He gave them the first news they had heard of the Chandlar stam- pede, but he himself had heard but few particulars of it.

NO MORE INVESTIGATIONS

Washington, May 22.-The contest
 between Judge Wickersham and the hostile United States senators today assumed new phase. The president already given the hostile senators all the opportunity needed to show any thing wrong with the judge if they could. He has directed two investiga- tions into the charges brought against Wickersham, and the results have been such vindication of the judge that the president has decided to have no more

Final ly, however, no more rabbits were to be had and the men had to p.ck up and eat the heads which they had formerly thrown away. For fifty days their only food was little sugar, yeast cake or two, and rabbit head apiece day. They finally killed moose, which saved them from most serious consequences. They iioated down the Porcupine and intended to go to Dawson.

of it. He therefore recalls the new AL fred Cooley investigation order, which was issued with the idea that the hos tility could be allayed by demonstration of the honesty of the judges course.
 The president further causes it to be known that from this time forward he will stand behind Wickersham. Those hostile to the appointment will have to base their hostility on the record being made by the judge in the conduct of his court, and the record of the investiga- tions already given in response to the said hostility.

Men Return After Long Period Spent on Firth
 River and Other Streams Of the Arctic Slope

Kinney Mcleod and Archie NJ. Camp bell are back in Rampant after a long prospecting trip extending we'll over on the Arctic coast and into regions seldom visited by white men.
 They left here on a steamer July 26 of last year. They changed to small boat at Fort Yukon and poled up the Porcu- pine to the mouth of Old Crow river, 70 miles above Rampant House, and thence 270 miles to the headwaters of Old Crow, where they established headquarters.
 After snowfall they sledded over the divide into Firth river. A portage of probably not to exceed 9 miles sepa rates the waters of the Old Crow from those of the Firth.
 On the upper portion of the Firth there is wide belt of limestone, with no indications of gold. Lower down the formation changes to slate and still lower is slate and schist. In the latter, pretty we'll down toward the canyon, gold was found and holes were put down in number of creeks. They got fair prospects in shotty gold, but nothing like pay. The ground there is shallow, and it is good looking country; but it is poorly timbered. Sometimes the men had to camp by willow patches to get fuel to cook with.
 Returning to their camp on Old Crow, the men reprovisioned and crossed over to a stream that heads up against the Old Crow and flows eastward toward the Mackenzie. It is a good-sized river supposed to be Dease river. It shows the same limestone formation near the head that is so pronounced on the upper Firth. Lower down the country looks holes were put down, but the prospects were not as good as on the Firth. The ground is deeper. This river was better timbered than the the Firth. A month was spent in that section.
 Asa whole Messrs. Mcleod and Camp bell are not enthusiastic over the nOrth- ern slope as field for prospecting. All prospecting should be confined to sum mer, for after snow falls all work is necessarily done at random. summer is short, 1t takes bong time to get :u supplies, and it will probably be years before the country is thoroughly ex- plored.
 On the Porcupine side the conditions are considered uniavorable for gold.

Disliked the Hoax.

Messrs. Mcleod and Campbell were sorry to hear of the hoax that connected them with mythical strike on Firth river last winter. They had no oppor- tunity to send out letter and did not even know the young man who was supposed to have received word from Firth river, Ernest Mcleod, had gone te Chandlar until they were told 50 at Fort IIamliu the other day.

 There are not many, if any, moose on the Arctic slope.
 Both slopes are good for fur, but last winter all kinds were scarce except lynx. Messrs. Mcleod and Campbell made little pretense at trapping, but they got some skins at odd times, including five gray wolves, two white foxes, cross fox and a couple of dozen marten. The wolves were so bold that they repeatedly robbed the mems caches.
 The streams abound in fish. On q tributary of Old Crow warm springs caused two miles of water to remain open all winter, and it was full of blue fish and greyling which could be taken at u.ill

Isolated a Long Time.

Messrs. Mcleod and Campbell went from August 20 to March IA without meeting a living soul. On the last named day they saw party of fifteen were hunting caribou up near the divide. The natives were well-dressed, intelli gent, friendly, and some of them knew considerable English. They said the whaler Norway was at Herschel Island. They had nothing but meat to eat and coveted the white mems grub, for which reason the prospectors were glad to part company with them.

The first test given the light was on
the target range, where 1t was taken

marksmen making "possibles.' or a

Poor Writinq.
(To be Continued

The boys Of the present day ought
to write a better hand than their pre-
decessors; but 1t is not in accord with
general experience that they do so,
says the London Globe. Those whose
painful duty 1t Is to engage and su-
pervise junior clerks tell us that when
they were lads they would have been
ashamed to turn out such work as
now daily meets their eyes, and 1t is
even whispered that there is a mys-
terious connection between badly
made pens and incorrect spelling.
Now, 1t is incontestable that pens are
much better made mechanically than
in the days when schoolmasters, or
boys, used to be taught to fashion
goose quills into writing implements
for themselves. We have steel pens OF
every degree of hardness. to say moth
ing Of styles and fountain pens. Good
writing by which is meant writing
that anybody can read at a glance
ments. Why is 1t not? Obviously be-
cause 1t is undervalued. Boys are not
taught to esteem highly the power to
make their meaning plain. And it is
not boys only that are to blame. Hall
of our educated" people are content
to infict an almost uncomfortable task
upon everybody who tries to read them
whenever they put pen to paper. The
fact is that illegible writing is a moral
offense, and If that were generally
recognized life would go much more
easily than 1t does. The sins that
would be saved in bad temper and
perhaps now and then in bad Ian
guage, when people open their letters
are innumerable.

human being. but a monarch OF the
forest at bay, with the. hunter In front
of him, and closing in upon him, in a
great half circle, the pack Of barriers,
all gnashing their teeth, barring their
fangs, and bowling for blood. The
hunter directly facing Bob, was Barry
Conant-very slight, very short,
marvelously compact, handsome, min

dark olive in tint, lighted by pair OF
sparkling black eyes and framed In
Jet black hair; a black mustache was
parted over white teeth, which, when
he was stalking his game, looked like
those of a wolf. An interesting man
at all times was this Barry Conant,
and he had been on more and fiercer
battlefields than any other half-score
members combined. The scene was a
rare one for a student Of animalized
men.
While every other man in the crowd
was at a high tension Of excitement,
Barry Conant was as calm as though
standing in the center Of ten-acre
daisy field cutting off the helpless
flowers heads with every swing OF
his arm. Switching stock gamblers into

Barry Conant. Here was Bob thunder

ing and selling all around these two
generals, the trading was gauged by
the trend of their battle. All knew
that if Bob should be beaten down by
this concentrated modern finance
devil, a panic would ensue and Sugar

But If Bob should play him to stand

Sugar would quickly soar to even
higher figures than before. 1t was

every man there knew that Randolph

it probably meant he was nearing the

that there was deviltry Of more than

panic in Wall street. He is friend OF
Jim Randolph of Randolph & Ran
dolph, bankers and brokers. Brownley
and Randolph had gone to college to-
gether and entered the employ OF Ran
dolphs father at the close Of college
days Brownley is a Virginian by
birth. Beulah Sands. daughter OF an
old Virginia house, calls on Brownley
and tells him her father has been
practically ruined by the stock oper-
ations Of Reinhart. She hopes 10 util-
ize her own money in Wall street In
retrieving her fathers fortunes before
his condition becomes known, and
asks for employment in the office that
she may have an opportunity to better
understand how her money Is invest
ed. She does not want 1t used In
purely Wall street gamble, but in the
buying and selling Of legitimate Sc
curities. Brownley agrees to help her,
and falls In love with her.

sugar stock. He uses the money OF
Miss Sands, his own and in addition
is backed heavily by the Randolph
millions. His coup seems successful,
and he tells Miss Sands that she has
cleared $1,S00,000. But. the market
had not closed.
