Look Below the Surface.

When bent on matrimony, look
more than skin deep for beauty, dive
further than the pocket for worth, and
search for temper beyond good humor
of the moment, remembering it is not
always the most agreeable partner at
a ball who forms the most amiable
partner for life. Virtue, like some
flowers, blooms often fairest in the
shade.

The control of the Perseverance property has passed into the hands of a new company, known as the Alaska Gold Mines company, which within he past three weeks sold in Boston and New York all the stock. This money is to be used in building mill at Ju- neau, which will at the outset have thousand stamps; in the erection of hydro electric plant, which will cost more than half million dollars, and in the boring of 11,000-foot tunnel through the mountain from the Silver Bow basin to the mouth of Sheep creek on Gastineau channel.
