BLEDSOE SHOWING SOME
 FINE COARSE GOLD

w. J. Bledsoc returned recently from ten days trip to Nugget creek. where he. in co-Partuership with J. II. Spann, William Holgate and C. F. Jorday own several pieces of placer ground.
 Mr. BIcdsoe is displaying some very fine specimens Of gold dust which has lately been taken from the mines, and considering the fact that actual operations have only been in progress a few days, the cleauups made arc very flattering.
 A conservative estimate gives the value Of the gold taken from the workings to be over $40 per day, with only three men working
 Six hundred feet Of pipe have been taken in and with a plentiful supply Of water. the operations will continue from this time on.
 The prospecting done last fail would indicate that the pay grows much richer towards the head of the creek. and Mir. Tlelsoe Is con Hdent that he is io on a mighty good thing

SKAGWAN HAS LAWN
 OF NELNETN GREENNESS

Turning onto Seventh avenue. and directing ones gaze to the east ward. against the green foliage of the mountain the grey-stone Court House stands out in bold relief, and curiosity compells the stranger to pass the unsightly charred re mains of the old Spokane Hotel and wander down to the end of the street
 Here he stops in surprize and amazemeut when he beholds the beautiful lawn, which might well be compared to the famous grass plots in the Golden Gate city, and which Marshal Fouzo and Jailer Rock take great pride in keeping in perfect condition.
 For several years the Court House lawn has been carefully wa tered and cut. and all weeds and other foreign vegetation discouraged from minglug with the clover and grass.
 This is a positive demonstration that Skagway need not lack heauti- rul lawns in addition to her famous gardens or flowers.

WHARF COMPANY WILL
 HAVE TO PAY ScJ0 FINE

Three hundred dollars worth Of legal argument--it was really worth every cent of that-went to waste in the United States district court yesterday when Judge Lyons refused 10 wipe out the fine which he had imposed last spring for the failure Of the North Pacific Wharves and Trading company to produce it's books ot record, which that com pany alleged it had carelessly left lying around in some law office down on the sound, and which it protessed itself unable Go find
 One Of the reasons alleged for the vacation of the order assessing the fine was that they still did not have the books. The court granted them another 90 days and told to 20 right on looking. but insisted that the S25O would have to come, not so much, perhaps, because our Uncle Samuel needs the money, but probably because the court felt that it might encourage them to hunt harder for the valuable docu- ments so carelessly mislaid.
 AS the court holds it's sessions at a considerable distance from the company's eXchequer, however. he gave them ten days in which to get the money to the court house.-Ju- neau Dispatch.

In saIhus around the world east ward the days are each a little lesS than twenty-four hours. according to the speed of the ship. as the sun ls met q little earlier every morning These little differences added together will amount to twenty-four hours This gives the sailors an extra day not in Imagination. but as an actual fact They will have done an extra days work, eaten an extra days ration of food and imbibed an extra days al lowance of grOg.
 On the other hand. in sailing west ward the sun is overtaken q little each day. and so each day Is rather longer than twenty-four hours. and clocks and watches are found to be too fast This also will amount in sailing around the world to The point of departure to one whole day by which the reckoning has fallen in arrears.

LITERARY FREAKS.

Curious. Styles of Composition That
 Amused Old Time Writers.
 With many writers. especially in olden times, various curious styles of composition were much in favor. One author, for example. would compose verses with some particular letter omitted from every stanza. Others would write in such a way that the line read the same back award and for ward. and still others made anagrams. It was fashionable at one time to write verses in fantastic shapes.
 The form of a bottle, a glass or fan was initiated. and this was done by lengthening or shortening the lines as required. though with sud detriment to the verse. Where the design was d bottle number of short lines would go to form the neck; gradually length euing. the shoulder would be formed and then body.
 There were also verses arranged in the form of pair of gloves. q pair of spectacleS. etc. Specimens of this kind of literary frivolity are to be found Tn French. Spanish and English books of the sixteenth century.
 Both in China and Japan such Iit- erury featS are held in great esteem even at the present day. In the lat ter country the poet not infrequently arranges his verses in the shape of a mans head. thus perhaps giving fa- cial outline of the subject of his verse. and though the Chinese may not make So nice choice. choosing perhaps a COW or other animal for the design, they display greater ingenuity.
 Among the most curious of all liter ary freaks are the lipogra mmatic works composed by the old Greeks, works in which one letter of the al- phabet is omitted. The "OdysSey'' of Tryphiodorus is composed in this way. He had no alpha In his first book. no beta in his second. and so on with the subsequent letters one after another.
 This Odyssey" was an imitation of the lipogrammatic "Iliad" of NestOr. There was an ode by Pindar where from he had purposeIy omitted the let ter sigma. This ingenuity became a literary fad. encouraged even by those who. it might be thought. would be the first to oppose such literary trifing.
 In Latin there iS work by FuIgen- tius divided into twenty-three chapters according to the order of the twenty three letters of the Latin alphabet. From A to 0 are still extant. The first chapter Is without A. the second with out B. and so on.
 The Persians also appear to have been given to this freq kish work. There is story to the effect that a poet read to the celebrated Jami d gaZel of his own composition which Jami did not like.
 The writer contended that 1t was q very curious sonnet, for the letter alif was not to be found in any one of the words. To this Jami very appropri- ately remarked:
 You can do better thing yet-take away all the letters from the wore. you have written. York Herald
