 Geo. A. Brown is in town from his copper-gold property at Big harbor, west coast of Prince of Wales, where he has shaft down to depth of 57 feet in ledge carrying more than ordinarily high values in copper and gold. The property is located about 2000 feet from tidewater, and is sinking proposition; in other words, will have to be worked through shafts sunk along the course of the ledge. He has about 50 tons of high grade ore in his dumps, all of which came from the shaft in which he has been working. Negotiations are pending for the taking over of the property on bond or purchase which, if consumated will most probably re- suit in the speedy development of another profitable mine of copper and gold.

 Some one having questioned the probable longevity of the Fraternal order of Eagles, was given the follow ing poetical reply: When the lions eat grass like an OK, And the fshworm swallows the
 whale,
 When the robins knit wollen sox, And the hare outrun by the snail, When the sea serpent stands right up
 like men
 And doodle bugs travel like frogs; When grasshoppers feed like the hen, And feathers are found on hogs, When the Thomas cats swim thro'
 the air
 And elephants roost on trees; When insects in summer are rare, When snuff never makes you sneeze, When fish creep over dry land. And mules on bicycles ride; When foxes lay eggs in the sand, And hearts of true Eagles of stone, When Dutchmen no longer drink
 beer
 And girls go to preaching on time When Billy Goats butt from the rear, And treason no longer is cri me. When ideas grow in a baboon' s
 head,
 And wool on the hydraulic ram, Then will the order of Eagles be
 dead,
 And the country won't be worth d-n The liquor tax, occupation tax, forest reserve restrictions, and with drawing the coal lands were all no doubt designed to encourage the hardy pioneer to settle in Alaska Douglas News.

LINCOLN'S REPARTEE.

Uncle Joe Cannon tells this new and characteristic one on "Honest Abe' Lincoln: ''It was at the Illinois state convention at Decutar, held to name delegates to the national convention that nominated Lincoln for the presidency. After the prayer cry was started on the platform i: "Open a passageway Open pass ageway! Let Dennis Hanks and Dick Oglesby through. They have some rails that Dennis Hanks and Abe Lincoln made in 1S30.
 "They came in with the rails, which had a piece of cotton cloth rolled around them bearing the legend: These rails were made by Dennis Hanks and Abraham Lincoln in 1880.
 "They were walnut rails, such as would be hard to find now, but there was plenty of that kind of fine hard wood in those days. The crowd went wild and it was some time before order was restored. There was yell for Lincoln.
 ''At this stage of the proceedings some fellow yelled out: Abe, did you split them rails?' Said he: Dennis Hanks says I split those rails. 1 don t know whether did not not, but l have made many better one!' Then the crowd yelled. "-New York World

 "You do?"
 "Yes; I'd just love to have nice little fox terrier. "
