ALASKA AND THE FUTURE.

When Alaska was purchased from Russia for s7,2oO,oOo the true value Of the purchase was an unknown quantity to both purchaser and buyer. Although some gold had been found, i, was not until the discovery of pla- cer gold in the Klondike in 1896 and O the rich beach sands at Nome that any true appreciation of Alaska's great mineral wealth began to be realized. Gold is but one item of the vast mineral riches now known to be held in the rocks and sedimeutary deposits of this region. The immense deposits of copper and coal have been and are the subject of wide interest and are attracting much capital to the country. Minerals carrying silver lead. tin. iron, tungsten. antimony, quicksilver. graphite and other imporS ant metals are found. Among import, ant non-metallic minerals also iu- cluded are graphite. petroleum, gyp- sum and marble. Although at presen the principal efforts are being di- rected to the exploitation of gold and copper deposits, attention will certain Iy be given to the other deposits of other ores in au increasing degree as transportation facilities are improved, and greater knowledge is obtained of these deposits
 With the entrance of the Guggen- helms into the copper mining fields of the region and the undertaking of the construction of the Copper River railroad from Cordoya, impetus was given to the development Of Alaska's mineral resources. These evidences ot faith of powerful mining interests in AIaska's future are an encourage ment to other investors, not only in mining. but in other ventures neces- sary to and arising from the deyel- opment of the country.
 At present the minerals are the main attraction. and in all prObabil. tty. will always be the foundation of Alaska.s greatness. Alaska's gold placers have attracted many adyen, turers to the country and rushes con thu, to rich new diggings. Rich gold quartz lodes are also found, but the success of the Alaska Treadwen show what may be done with the lOw-grade gold ores.
 With the present inadequate trans portatlon facilities, the exploitation of mines in he interior can not be prof itably carried on. Climatic conditions are such that unusual difficulties in both mining and transportation are presented, especially during winter months. In spite of all the difficulties that must be overcome or endured there is no doubt that Alaska has a great future in store, which will be retarded only as long as railroad con- struction is delayed, but with this work already started and plans for sun greater work being made, the rapid and substantial growth of this rich country may be expected.-Min- ing World.

BISHOP PADDOCK'S REMARK
ABLE CAREER.
Advanced From sheer Merit And Not
From Favoritism-Will be at
Grace Church Next Tuesday.

Grace Church Next Tuesday.
The Right Reverend Robert Lewis
Paddock, ID. D., who is to be one of
the speakers at the meeting of the
Archdeaconry of Scranton, in Grace
church, Honesdale, next Tuesday
comes of a race of Bishops, but was
himself appointed Bishop of Eastern
Oregon not because his father had
been Bishop in the then territory of
Washington, or because his uncle
had been the predecessor of the
great Phillips Brooks as Bishop of
Massachusetts,, but because as soon
as he began hls work in the ministry,
he showed qualities of most remark
able energy and originality. His
very first work indicated the estimate
in which he was held by his fellow
students, for they chose him to be
the national field-secretary of the
Church Students Missionary Society
of America, a position which involv-
ed visiting the principal colleges and
universities in the country and ad-
dressing the students. But it was
when in charge of a church in the
lower East Side in New York city
that he startled the country by a
single-handed defiance of the police
department because of their heart
less countenancing of the shameful
traffic in human beings which was 60
ing on within the limits of his par
ish Powerful helpers soon came to
his aid, notably Bishop Potter, and
the result was a political overturn
in New York city.
But the most remarkable achieve
ment of the young clergyman was in
taking what seemed hopelessly run
down and down town parish, the
Church of the Holy Apostles, the cor
ner of Ninth Avenue and 2Sth street,
New York, and the electrifying into
it new life. From the sleepy ship
ping place of mere handful, it be-
came the center of most varied and
beneficial institutional and social ac-
tivity. Clubs of all sorts, homes for
working girls, classes for self-im-
provement, civic organizations for the
training of men into better citizen
ship were started and vigorously
maintained and increased by this
tireless and most resourceful and
consecrated leader. And the old
church filled up with worshippers. A
large staff of men and women were
added to help. A real influence for
good was exeTted in quarter of the
city which was most difficult to work
in. From this career of noteworthy
usefulness it was not strange that
such a man should have been chosen
by the House of Bishops to under
take the most difficult work in sight,
that of organizing and building up
the new missionary jurisdiction OF
Eastern Oregon.

RELIGIOUS SERVICES RESUMED.

Religious services were resumed
in many of the churches, throughout
the great Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania, last Sunday. Pulpits which
had, for the time being, relegated the
glorious gospel of salvation to the
background, again returned to the
Word of God for their texts and laid
aside for the nonce the yellow journ-
ais whence they drew their pre-elec-
tion themes, and from whose pages
they got their sermons, material and
inspiration. Church-goers can again
occupy their pews with the assur-
ance that they will hear the old
fashioned gospel preached.
when the Devil was sick, the de-
vii a monk would be, when the devil
was well, the devil a monk was he"
runs an old proverb. We would like
to know if these men, who induced
the clergy to convert their pulpits
into political rostrums, will be as
faithful attendants upon divine SER
vices when sensational topics will
not be the rule,-when the annual
subscription lists are passed around,
when pews are offered. for sale,-
when special offerings are to be re-
ceived-as they were when self in
terest prompted them to frequent the
house of God. Let us wait and see!

FAITH THAT SAVES.
believe in my job.-Rev.
l,

l believe in my job.-Rev.
Charles Stelzle.
The kind of faith that DR.. Stelzle
expresses here is, in very practical
sense, saving faith, according to the
Harrisburg Patriot. 1t saves men
and women from failure and insures
success. The man who does not be-
lieve in his job will not be faithful
to it nor loyal to his master, wheth-
er the job be to win souls or to
mend shoes; whether the master of
the job be man or his Maker.
The man who does not believe in
his job is an Improbable servant,
whether he is working for himself
or another. He does his work so
indiferently that he is sure to lose
his job. If working for another he
is the first to go when any one has
to go. If in business for himself, he
Is among the first to be overwhelmed
when hard times come.
II he believes in his job and does
1t so well that he shows he is cap
able of holding a better one. he is
sure to get it. There is always a
job for efficient and willing hands.
This is not matter of luck, of in
huence, or favoritism. 1t is busi-
ness; 1t is inevitable. There are
practically no exceptions. If the
man who believes in his job and is
faithful and efficient in it, has an
employer who is too blind to see his
worth, or too mean and selfish to ac-
knowledge it, some other EMPLOYER
Will recognize it and his turn will
come.
In exalted station or menial DO
sltion, it is the same. The lady who
does not believe in her job, who does
not use her opportunities to noble
ends; who is frittering away her life
IN social frivolities, is not really anv
happier than the unfaithful servant
OF whom she complains and who does
not believe in her job either. When
mistress and maid both believe in
their jobs they stay together for
years, perhaps for a lifetime, mutu-
ally helpful, each honoring the 9th
er.
A sure recipe for happiness is: Be-
lieve in your job, do your level best
in it, so as to be ready for the bet
ter one when it comes.
