THE SUDAN.

The sudan is peculiarly interesting because it affords the best possible example of the wisdom and when say that speak with historical accuracy of disregarding the we'll meaning but unwise sentimcntalists who object to the spread of ciyiliZa- tion at the expense of sayagery.

QUARTZ AT VALDEZ

rush is on 10 Mineral gulch near Valdez. where several promis- ing gold quartz locations have been made
 F. C. Robert and Harry Wenke arrived at Valdez from the head of the gulch with a number of speci- mems of rock some of which are plentifully sprinkled with free gold They have not had any assay made of the find but il is believed the rock will show high values.
 Robert and Wenke have located several claims. and have returned to the property with an outfit and will spend several weeks in doing development work on the claims
 Charles Whalen and Pete Olson located six claims on the north side of the gulch, below the Wenke and Robert claims. The rock from this vein and the immense exposure of quartz led Ed Wood to buy Whal- ems interest for $1,o00
 It was a tough climb up the hill but Mir. Wood says it was worth while when he got mp there Quartz is exposed at random over the slope above timber line and it was easy 10 pick up specimens with yellow specks sticking out The miners think the whole hill is mineralized and that several mines will be work ing there in short time.

France Likes the Game

The Jeffries-Johnson fight may have put the screws on pugiism harder than ever in this country. but such is not the case as applied to France. A few miles out of Paris they are now building an arena simi- lar to that at Reno, the seating capa- city, however. being reduced to 5.O00 Many American fighters will show there Sam McVay, colored, is the king of pugilism in France as Jack Johnson is in this country and the world at large. McVey is a large man and clever, but Johnson beat him twice in Los Angeles, twenty rounds each time, and the third time they fought Johnson won by a knockout in 20 minutes

Sam Langford and Al Kaufman have been matched to fight six rounds in Philadelphia, August To. Physical ly il is an uneven match, but Lang ford is one of those whirlwind two hand fighters who has a chance with anybody except Johnson. At that | think Johnson has more respect for Sam than he would publicly admit. Kaufman is not a great fighter but he is a big fellow. strong. willing. and above all a plodder The fact that he can take world of punishment and still keep going makes him more formidable than he would be otherwise. If he holds to his good habits and no one better than he ar rives on the scene, he might he good enough to whip Jack Johnson. if Johnson goes the usual pace of the victor in the next two or three years.

WATCH YOURSELF GO BY.

Just stand aside and watch your
 self go by; Think of yourself as he" instead of
 "L" Note, closely as the other men you
 note. The bag-kneed trousers and the
 seedy coat, Pick flaws; find fault; forget the
 man is you, And strive to make your estimate
 ring true. Confront yourself and look you in
 the eye Just stand aside and watch your self go by. Interpret all your motives just as though You looked on one whose aims you did not know. Let undisguised contempt surge
 through you when You see you shirk, o commonest of
 men! Despise your cowardice condemn
 whate'er You note of falseness in you any
 where. Defend not one defect that shames
 your eye Just stand aside and watch your
 self go by. And then with eyes unveiled to
 what you loathe- To sins that with sweet charity
 you'd clothe- Back to your self-walled tenement
 you'll go With tolerance for all who dwell
 below. The faults of others then will dwarf
 and shrink Loves chain grow stronger by one
 mighty link When you, with he" as substitute
 for "I," Have stood aside and watched your
 self go by.

TRUE YARN IF THE
 SOUTH SEAS

in an application to an English court last month to assume the death of one John Willis Kirkaldy. the following story of his life was elicited:
 John Willis Kirka}dy was born on January l3. lS63 In February. lHS5, he emigrated to New Zealand and sailed from London in the yes sel Soukar From that date down to the middle of 1892 he regularly and frequently correspOnded with his parents and family. He seemed to have been engaged in various kinds of trading and appeared to have made no friends save with a man named Van Brun, whose ad dress was never known. About the middle of 1892 all correspondence ceased until March, 1895. In that month a letter was received from him dated from the Solomon Isl ands, January II, 1895, which ac counted for his long silence inas- much as he stated that he had been shipWrecked on those islands and had lived for three years on one of them.
 This is the letter written to the mans mother:
 Near Buka-Bu Solomon Isl ands, Friday, 11-1'95.
 when you see my was going to quote you and say 'well-known hand but that would hardly be applicable, the heading of this will also surprise you; as a matter of fact am surprised myself; a few hours ago had any one told me should be seated in ships cabin and writing to you l should have regarded that person as lunatic

CANADIAN RAILWAYS,

In the last quarter-century Canada has increased its railway mileage by about lio per exceeding even Russia's gain of 13G per cent In proportion to population Canada has now the largest mileage of any coun- Try of the world one mile to about @oo people. But this does not indi- ca;c any surplusage of portation facilities. In proportion to its hab- ita'tc and rapidly filling area 1t has smaller mileage than any other civilized country In point of capi- ralih9tiou il is notable that Canadian railroads hold the worlds record as something under $5G.ooo per mile, The next lowest being those of the United States al $5I0o0 or over.
 The overseas investor in Canadian railway securities has had profitable experiences and others not so profitable says the Canadian Finance. Money has been sunk in projects some of which have not got beyond he charter stage. Still with the uplifting of the West and the indus, triaI development of the country as a whole, railroad extension offers plenty of opportunity for further profitable investment

 When day broke We found the ketch piled upon a reef forming shelter for a small island. behind which (about two miles off) the blue hills of a considerable tract of coun- try could be seen.
 It did not take us long to reach the island which We found about 40 or 70 acres in extent. and unin- habited. The ketch proved to be damaged beyond our limited means of repair, so we got everything out of her, and finally annexed her deck and spars to build a house before the rainy season came on January to March)

Packy Mcfarland is back from his European trip. Officially he got a draw with Welsh, but according to general opinion he was entitled to a shade. He longs for a crack at Ad Wolgast, but the present doubtful situation in the fighting business makes it rather hard to arrange a championship battle even among the lightWeights.
