OF BENEFITS RECEIVED.

Browns Native Herbs in Liquid
Form, the wonderful remedy that is
being introduced for the first time in
this State is accomplishing more
than is claimed for it by the adver-
tiser, Mr. Arnold Brown. This is
proved by the number of sick people
who are calling upon their druggists,
telling of the improvement in their
condition All week long they come,
from every part of the county, simply
to express their gratitude and thanks
for the seemingly wonderful results.
This is very unusual as it is seldom,
indeed, that people will take the
trouble to express thanks for med
icine.
The results accomplished by
Browns Native Herbs in Liquid
Form seem very wonderful when you
do not understand the nature of the
remedy. AS a matter of fact, the
principle thing it does is put the
stomach in god working order in a
very short time, and stimulate the
healthy action of the bowels, and in
consequence the action of every or
gan of the body is improved at once,
and perfect health is the result.
Browns Native Herbs in Liquid
Form is a wonderful treatment and l
would advise any person suffering
with Stomach Trouble, Constipation
or disorders of the Liver and Kidneys,
to call upon their Druggist and have
a talk with him about this most re-
markable remedy. large bottle

the Antarctic, so far as it is known,
and drawn to scale. Dotted black lines
across the white surface showed the
routes of former expeditions. A brave
little union jack told where Captain
Scott had died.
There are to be five motor sledges,"
said Lees. "One will have 55-horse-
power Anzani motor and another a 40
Eorse power motor of the same
make. Each is equipped with a dual
drive system. When there is no head
wind they will use air propellers, just
as are placed upon aeroplanes.
I'm seven days hard driving in Nor
way these prOpellers proved thorough
ly efficient. They are especially valu-
able during low temperatures, when
the snow becomes loose as dry sand,
because of the intense cold. When a
head wind or other condition prevents
the use of these propellers positive
drive will be used. This is a toothed
drum attached to the rear of the
sledge, although no weight rests upon
it. A system of spring lcompensations
allows for inequalities of the surface.
These sledges with 30-horse pow
er engine have towed a sledge weigh
ing 400 pounds, with two men up, In
addition to their own load of six men
and supplies, at fifteen to twenty miles
an hour. But on bad surface the en-
CINE power proved insufficient. There
fore the larger motors are now being
installed.
s"Two other motor tractors, equipped
with positive drive only, have been
made ready These will kick along
through the snow, towing one or two
sledges at low speeds. They are
geared to about eight miles an hour
All have variable gear and friction

it is as yet secret.

The aerotractors are air cooled. In

 The ledge or pay-shoot where tn" rich samples come from is located in | big dyke, and in fact is part of the dike The dike matter all assays and will doubtless pay to mill on a large scale. The pay streak, ranging in width from six inches to one foot is alive with gold. Some of the samples are more than half gold. and nuggets onr-half inch in length have been picked from the quartz. Mir. Baker stated that when the ledge was found, he and his partner mortared out $75 in five hours with only claw ham They have started a tunnel and are in about ten feet, the pay shoot seems to widen as they go in on it.
 The owners are planning on doing some development work next season, and will begin freiGhting in their out fit about the first of February. They are no rush to install machinery, and will wait until they have thor oughly demonstrated the value of their find before putting q plant on the ground.

ESKIMO ETIQUETTE.
These Curious Arctic People Have No
Use For Stingy Strangers.

As We scrambled over rough bowl
ders to our arctic home the night
previous w had noticed dark masses
Of natives grouped on the slope Of
the village to the right Of the gov
eminent buildings, but it a not
until the next morning that We
we're introduced to the whole popu-
l~ation, when they engulfed us in a
good natured brown flood.
The first step was to look us and
u belongings over; the next was TO
beg for different articles which espe-
cially appealed to their fancy. This
is a trait which the Eskimo shares
in common with all the native
tribes and which somewhat mars his
sociability. The prodigal generos-
ity Of whalers and miners has con-
vinced him that all white men are
rich, and he regards them as his
natural benefactors.
The Eskimo code of etiquette
runs something like this: "If a
stranger has nothing give him any
thing you have got; if he has plenty
ask him for everything" The gen.
crosby or stinginess of a newcomer
on his initial visit forever estab-
fishes his reputation among the Es-
kimos. If he withholds the usual
presents and pays sparingly for his
labor he is blszoned throughout the
country as a "tightwad," the Eski-
mos are promptly converted. so far
as he is concerned, into thieves and
villains but if, on the other hand.
he pays the natives well for unload
ing his cargo and dispenscs little
presents with discretion. he is
known as a good fellow" and the
whole tribe stands ready to do his
bidding.
OF the general natural honesty Of
the Eskimo there is no question
During a three years residence
among them ] never lost so much as
a pin and frequently had lost arti-
cles returned. They would not even
take a lump Of coal off the school
grounds without my permission.
Every year ! ordered my supplies in
Nome and had them sent up to tho
islands and delivered to the natives.
and, although some families might
be entirely out of food, they never
touched a single box Of sugar or
biscuit. but stored it carefully in tho
school building, accounting for ev-
cry item. Any dishonesty shown
has been learned from the white
men.
| might add that the Siberian
tribes do not bear this reputation,
and when they made their annual
visit in the spring we had to put ev.
erytlIing under lock and KEY. How
ever. during my stay on the Dome
des there was not a single case OF
theft among the natives Wide
