Especial correspondence }

Seattle, July 31.---The manage
ment OF the Alaska Yukon Pacific
Exposition, which will be at Seattle
In 1903, proposes to reproduce at the
exposition several of the former
mines OF the north that made dozens
OF miliionalres during 1893 and
1900 But the richest mine that
The north has will not be reproduce
Tor the simple reason that no white
man has ever seen It, and lived to
tell the tale.
In the early days OF the camp a
certain tribe of Indians from the
north arrived in Dawson for the
'flrst ume. To the astonishment of
fthe Few that first saw the tribe ev-
cry member had several ornaments
carved from great nuggets OF virgin
gold. The tribe had never met the
waite men before and TO breathless
Inquiries the trlbesmen told how
near where they lived was a stream In
which the yellow metal could be
picked up In chunks as big as ones
0st. Near by, they said, was cliff
an which the metal stood out like
moss on n mountain side.
Tho Indians soon learned the val
'uo Uf their ornaments and shrewdly
refused TO tell where they got It.
Nevertheless several prospector8
srIed TO follow tho tribe on the re-
turn TO the northern village, but the
Willy red mon easily succeeded in
losing the less agile paleface. Since
then there have been several more or
less secret and always unsuccessful
expeditions to find the lost gold of |
the Indians.

Desire For Food
Is Important
Appetite Is Necessary In Order To
Digest What We Eat.

We notice that some of the most
eminent physicians of this country and
Europe who have made Il study of the
process of digestion unite in the Opin-
to proper digestion. Some even go so
far as to say that there must be a
good sharp appetite for the food eaten
iii order that it be properly digeSted
and asSimilated. DIR. j. p. Pawlow's
essay on The Work of the Digestive
prize sets forth very clearly the value
of appetite.
There is no other such safe sure
means for creating a healthy appetite
as Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer taken be-
fore or with your meals, and it is an
almost absolute guarantee of perfect
digestion, while it's tonic and food
value cannot be overestimated.
Dr. Joseph Feisler, of the North
western University of Chicago, in COM
mentinS upon this said: Il fully be-
lieVe that the moderate use of good
beer at meal times acts as a tonic and
is therefore useful"
II. Fcisler Stands at the head of his
profession and his words must carry
great weight with those seeking
health
Pabst Blue Ribbon is such a beer as
DR.. Feisler recommends. 1t is prod
uct of eight-day malt. choicest hops
and pure water Pabst eight-day malt
contains all the valuable food elements
of the barley in predigestcd form. 1t
gives Pabst Beer it's rich nutrition and
the fine mellow flavor which distin-
guishes it from other beer This. to-
getheT with sixty years of scientific
so far in the lead. No food that comes
from the cleanest kitchen can be
cleaner, purer and more wholesome
than this celebrated beer.

CATARRH GROWING LESS.
Due TO the Use of Hyomei-CurcS
Without Stomach Dosing.

Inquiry at the local drug stores
shows that the sale of remedies for
catarrh has decreased very much in
the last year. Some medicines which
We're formerly bought gross at time
are now purchased in half dozen lots.
and are rarely called for
There is one notable exception ia
this decrease in sale and that is
HyomCi This remedy is. in fact re-
sponsible for the decrease in sale of
catarrh medicines. as it has made 50
many cures of catarrhal troubles that
naturally there is much less demand
for remedies for that disease.
People who have been trying differ
cnt medicines for catarrh during many
years were induced To begin the use
of Hyomei by H. o. Rolls guarantee
that the remedy would cost nothing I'M
less cured Much to their surprise
they found that Hyomei did what i
claimed ff il did not II. o. Rolls could
not sell it under this guarantcc) and
they soon became ardent advocates of
the use of HyOmci.
There is no disagrecable stomach
dosing with Hyomei: it is used by be
ing breathed through neat pocket in
haler. The complete outfit costs but
Zone dollar, extra bottles. if needed, 80
cents.
With every HyOmei outfit II. o.
Rolls gives his personal guarantee that
the money will be refunded unless the
treatment cures. 50 that you run no
risk at all i'm buying this reliable rem
