FIRST GOLD FOUND
 IN ALASKA IN 1888

The first gold discovered in All aska by a white man was found on the shores of Arctic bay in Noyem- Der If the year 1866, according to a statement made today by Captain D.. B. Liby, the discoverer who ar rived in the territory of Alaska at that time, in charge of a telegraph party sent here by the Western Un- ion Telegraph company. Capt. Lib- bv has been located in the Rash wilma country during the past year and a half, engaged in prospecting that country and arrived in Anchor age yesterday on his way with his son, D. B. Libby, jr. to Seattle.
 Captain Libby arrived at Port Clarence before the purchase of the territory by the United States gov ernment from the Russian govern ment in 1867. The Western Union Telegraph company secured tele- graph concession from the RuSslan government and in the year 1S66 sent Captain Libby north for the purpose of determining @ route across Alaska to connect with si- beria and Europe.
 In the meantime the cable was successfully laid across the Atlantic ocean and made unnecessary the line to Siberia. Work was then abandoned by the Western Union and Captain Libby returned to the states.
 He came north again in 1897 ana has since that time been a member Of practically every stampede in the northland. He was one Of the discoverers of Ophir creek and took out considerable money from his claims there in 1897.
 Captain Libby and his son will leave Anchorage on one Of the early boats and will make his home in Seattle. = !;

HAVE BIC SALE
Furniture Dealers Have Sold
$4,000 Worth of Furniture
Since Big Sale Started
Recently.

Although the time Of the beginning
of the big Kettler-H Hooper furniture
sale was the beginning Of harvest 10
days ago, the sale has been big sue
cess. Messrs. Kettler and Hooper
thought it might be better to move
their stock and store it than to at
tempt a sale this time of year during
harvest, but they are very well pleas
ed with the results to date. This firm
is selling furniture very cheap and II
anyone is in need of furniture Of any
kind or any thing about the house,
now is a good time to buy, while this
sale lasts. Just about $500 worth Of
furniture has been sold. Many Of
those who bought early are coming
back for more.
While the sales have been large
they have not been so large as the
firm could wish and not so large as
prices ought to justify, according to
Mr.. Kettler.
On Monday morning the sale opens
on it's second phase. Some slight re-
auctions, where it has been possible,
have been made on the first sale price.
In any sale some parts Of the stock
move slow, which is the case in this
sale. These items will be specially
priced to make them sell. There is no
series of the stock that is sold out and
one can choose almost what they want
Today's paper carries an advertise
ment in which a large number OF
items are priced. It is worth looking
over. .

The st. Louis Lead and Zinc COM
pany, whose new mill Is located about
half way between Quapaw and DOu-
that, made a good strike in the field
shaft the first Of the week. While the
sinkers are not far into the ore It is
easy to see that the ore Is Of good
quality and the drill holes showed bet
ter farther down. The big new mill
Of the st. Louis was finished Saturday
and Is all ready to run with the ex-
ception of some belt work. The build
ing has been painted q tobacco brown
and Is considered one Of the prettiest
mills in the field. Every piece Of the
mill IL brand new and Of the highest
grade. The st. Louis would have been
in operation several months ago but
for the water fight that has been
waged and which is not yet over but
the men in the ground are sinking
down into the ore as fast as the water
subsidies from the concreted pumping
campaign that is being waged on at
present.

Worlds Oldest Town.

few miles south of the snow ridge
the Caucasus, next door to Europe.
bxt actually In Asia, there Is a wretch
&c little village whose fame should be
worldwide. Beneath its terraced
homes two rivers unite; the clear,
cold Aragwa, Fastening from its birth
place In the eternal SHOWS Of the eau
casus to the hot depression of the Cas-
plan. and the Kura, sullied and dirty,
swinging In from the west to make Its
way across the barren Transcaucasian
steppe, between the mountains of Dag
hestan and the Armenian highlands.
Mtzkhet Is the name Of this penin-
sula town. Only n Russian, with ample
whiskers, car readily pronounce the
word, says Maynard Owen Williams
In Christian Herald. There is really
nothing In the peaceful and dirty lit
tie village to compare with the mill
tant agg~ressiveness of It's names
Mtzkhet has claims to antiquity that
make the oldest New England town
appear as a mere baby; for its citi-
zens assert that 1t was founded by one
Of Noah's sons, who strolled over from
Mount Arerat one day and chose this
site because of its excellent drainage.
The town looks old, to say the least.
Damascus has a verdant freshness
about 1t that Is as deceptive as grease
paint. but Mfzkhet stands out from
green fields and pastures new, like a
weathered fishing smack in an emerald
sea.
