AlsSkaIGaStneau Mining Company to Open Four Properties-KensiDg-
 ton Mine to he Worked.

Prospects for a good year in min ing at Juneau are good, according to the Juneau Dispatch. Besides the la-se mines on Douglas Island, four p7operoes will be worked in the basin behind Juneau. The Dispatch says;
 Mining at Juneau duriRg the com ing season wiu undoubtedly throw in to local circulation the largest pay 7ou that this city has enjoyed since the gold rush.
 The Alaska-G -GaStineau Mining com rany's affairs are now in excellent condition, and in London. New York and Jueau the representatives Of the company have been engaged in clear ing. .Up the abstracts Of title, for sev- e-al weeks past. said Bart L. ThaDe, managing head of the company, when asked about his Company's mining news this morning. MT. Thane is to leave tomorrow morning for New York City and there will meet other officers Of the Alasks-GastineaU Go. to put the finishing touches on the consolidation Of four different min ing properties within a radius of , miles of this Ciy.
 The sudden death of W. J, Suth- e-land left his connections with the Perse-ve-anoe mine in an uuintelh- gable condition, and the work ot clearing up the legal affairs and uues in his holdings has naturally been slow. but towards this end, l V5u say that the stockholders and officers in the reorgaaized company have worked in perfect accord, and We now see our way clear to go ahead without fear of litigation or Liud7ance Of any kind from any sou7ce." said NIT. ThaDe
 The Alaska-Gastinesu Mining com pany. as reha5Hitated, is composed Of the steady producing Perseverance mine: the Ground Hog group oi claims: the Sheep Creek group; the Silver Bow Basin placer property; and the water rights at Salmon creek
 The KenSiugton mine Is not, as some people have been led to believe, embraced in the holdings oS the Al aska-GsStineau Mining company, but ss a separate concern, although sev- eral stockholders in the one com pauy own shares in the Eensington mine.
 The Kensington nine will be worked all summer" said MT, Thane. "A wharf. railroad and buildings have been constructed, and we expect nice returns from our investment"
 The financing ot the Alaska-Gas tneau company was made before MT. Thane left London in his last trip across the ocean to New York"

In EliZabeths time a thief was to be

The penalties imposed for sleeping

first offense the man was to be head

PAGEANT OF SARATOGA.
Outline of Program Of Events and
Scenes at Big Open-Air Show.

Unique among the attractions OF
the season will be the Historical Pa
geant of Saratoga, to be given in
Congress Spring Park, Saratoga
Springs, Aug. 19th-24th. Fifteen
hundred people will take part and
the history of this famous locality
will be depicted from its early set
Element to the present time. People
from Glens Falls, Schuylerville and
Fort Edward are uniting TO make this
event one of the finest ever given.
The pageant opens with life in Hol-
land in the early 1th century, with
the departure of the Dutch for' the
Colonies, giving an idea of the Gus
toms and dress of those interesting
people in their picturesque simplicity.
This is followed by Indian life in
Old Saratoga, the hunting ground Of
the Mohawk, an Indian Hunt dance,
and the Feast of the Berries; the
coming of the First Settlers (French
Hugenots in 1856 and the purchase
of the town by the Dutch; early Co
lonial Life in Old Saratoga; the trag
edy of Jane McCrea; the News of the
Battle of Lexington.
The most interesting episode is the
Battle of Saratoga. Hundreds of men
representing British and Patriots
will give vivid representation of
the battle. So real is the episode
that one almost believes that the
striking figure in Colonial dress that
comes dashing along over the brow
of the hill on a fiery charger, en-
couraging his troops as he rides by
and unheeding the tremendous fire
of the British, is really Benedict Ar
mold himself.
In the Surrender of Burgoyne, an
exact reproduction of this historic
event will be pictured.
Gay life in 1860 is next shown;
the men in frock coats and the wo-
men in hoop-skirts of the period, re-
produces the life at Saratoga at that
time and Old Time dances, add to
the reality of the scene Symbolic
dances representing the Spirit of the
Springs and episodes representing
the Rescue of the Springs follow.

OF THE EVIL ONE

1t has been said that backache is
an invention of the evil one to try
womens souls.
Not so. Backache is a symptom of
some serious trobule which sooner or
later declares itself, either kidney
trouble or some female arrangement.
Lydia T.. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound may be relied upon to go
to the root OF the trouble and quickly
relieve this most distressing symp-
tom.
Nearly forty years of unparalleled
success proves its value in conquer
