Captain W. S. Brown, president of
the Alaska Iron company, accompan
ied by F. Finis Fox of Seattle, ar
rived In Haines Saturday after a ten
day's trip to Rainy Hollow, B. C.,
where the mining properties of the
company are located.
Capt. Brown and Mr. Fox came up
on the Jefferson recently for the pur
pose of Inspecting the copper fields o
Kalny Hollow. Upon their return they
were mot by a representative of the
Pioneer Press and spoke very enthus
iastically of the prospects of an early
development of the copper mines In
which the Alaska Iron company Is In
terested.
It was Mr. Pox's first visit to Alas
ka and he expressed himself as be
ing very favorably impressed with
the country. He said: "I am quite
certain ?that If the people In the
states who have money to Invest and
others who are looking for a deslrabl
place in which to locate could only
realize tho actual conditions of this
wonderful country with its wealth of
gold, silver, copper, iron and coal de
posits there would be an exodus of
! people to Alaska and a development
c' its many resources such as has
taken place in the state of Washing
ton in the last ten years.
"Since coming here my opinion of
Alaska has been greatly changed. Ex
pecting to find a land of Ice-bergs an
glaciers, I have found your climate
i very salubrious and by no means as
severe as It Is In many of our north
! orn states. I presume that In the
! course of time truck gardening will b
c.ne of your profitable Industries on
the seaboard.
"To my surprise your Indian popula
tion is very thrifty and Industrious
and it should be a source of self
congratulation to all Alaskans to
know that tho Red Skins not only
know how to earn a livelihood under
civilized conditions but that they know
the value of our currency. It Is better
that they should be self-supporting,
than that they should be wards of the
government.
"I look for a great growth in your
population in the next few years.
This increase, of course, will be due
to the development of the varied nat
ural resources of your country. Cap
ital, while always timid, is at the
same time looking for investment and
Just as soon as the Investing public
can be convinced of the wonderful
mineral possibilities of the country
adjacent to Haines an era of unprece
dented prosperity and advancement
along all commercial lines will unfold
Itself.
"The ono great obstacle retarding
material advancement of Haines and
its tributary territory is the lack of
railroad facilities and while consider
able headway has been made with
wagon transportation In hauling ore
from Rainy Hollow yet no great re
sults can be expected until a railroad
can be projected and constructed.
The quality of ore being shipped from
Haines to tho Tacoma smelter is far
superior to that of any ore being re
ceived at that point and if the cop
per interests can market their ore pro
fltably by utilizing expensive and in
adequate wagon transportation for a
distance of sixty miles it can readily
be seen how the construction and
operation of a railroad would bring
about greater development of the
vast and varied mineral resources of
the country." ? Haines Pioneer Press.
TOLSTOI WANTS RUSSIANS
TO REFUSE TO JOIN ARM!
GENEVA, Xov. 22 ? Count Leo Tol
stoi, by way of Switzerland has given
another message to the world. At an
anti-military meeting in Blenne, when
100 Swiss and foreign delegates were
assembled, Tolstoi's appeal to the peo
plo was read amid great enthusiasm.
It had been written especially for
the recent peace conference at Stock
holm, postponed bocause of the recen
strike. Later It was arranged to read
the appeal at Berlin, but the pollco
prohibited It.
Yesterday Tolstoi's friends in Gen
ova delivered his message. Tolstoi
appeals to the good sense of the
world's people to refuse to serve as
soldiers, either voluntarily or under
pressure even if that refusal entails
punishment. Killing by soldiers, he
Opening an Oyster.
"The Cook's Oracle," a book which
was never far from the kitchens of our
great-grandmothers, is very precise In
its directions as to the proper manner
of preserving and eating oysters, says
an English journal. "The true lover
i of an oyster." writes the author, "will
have some regard for the feelings of
his little favorite and will never aban
don it to the mercies of a bungling op
erator. but will open it himself and
contrive to detach the flsh from the
shell so dexterously that the oyster Is
hardly conscious he has been ejected
from bis lodging till he feels the teeth
of the piscivorous gourmaud tickling
him to death."
This Was In Denmark.
An Englishman having business In a
certain Danish town nrrived at the
railway station. He Inquired of a
group of men standing near the way to
the house he wanted, whereupon one
of them offered to go with him and
show him. With recollections of what
such a service meant In England he
said. "I don't want a guide." "But
surely you asked us to show you the
way." said one of them. "Yes. but I
don't want a guide." "My dear sir, I
am not a guide; I am the bishop."

Almost Covered with Eczema? No
Night's Rest for Nearly a Year
Feared Lifelong Disfigurement
All Treatments Failed and Limit
of Endurance Seemed Near.
PERFECT RECOVERY
IS DUE TO CUTICURA
"With the exception of his hands and
feet, my son Ciydo (thirteen years old)
was almost completely ocvered with
eczema. Physicians treated him for
nearly a year without helping him any.
While they were very kind $nd did aU in
their power, yet nothing seemed to re
lieve him. And I had tried many rem
edies sent to me by kind friends but they
all failed. H is head , face, and neck wero
covered with largo scabs which he would
rub until they fell off. Then blood and
matter would run out and that would bo
worse. Many a timo ho looked as if
his ears would drop off. Friends com
ing to nee him said that if ho got well ho
would be disfigured for life.
" When it seemed as if he could pos
sibly stand it no longer, I decided to
try Cuticura. I bought a cako of Cuti
cura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment,
and a bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. I
used them in tho evening and that was
tho first night for nearly a year that he
slept. This may sound exaggerated
to you, but in the morning thero was a
great change for the better. In about
six weeks you could not have told that
he had ever had any thing wrong with him.
I treated him twice a day for six months
and at present ho has a flno complexion
and not a scar on his body. This storv
may 6eem overdrawn, but neither words
nor pen can describe Clyde's suffering
and now ho looked. Our leading phy

R. C. Kenton, 3905 N. Cheyenne St., !
Tacoma, Wash., says: "I gave a state
inont for publication, telling of my ex
perience with Doans Kidney Pills som
years ago aud I am now pleased to
confirm all I then said in their favor.
I was afflicted with kidney trouble:
and finally I became so bad off that
I was obliged to give up my work.
I had dull, heavy pains through my
kidneys and on one occasion I was
confined to my bed for almoBt a
month. The unnatural condition of
tho kidney secretions also plainly de
noted that my kidneys needed atten
tion. When I learned of Doan's Kid
ney Pills, I procured a box and be
gan their use. I felt great relief
from the first and beforo long my
trouble was entirely disposed of. I
have since had no return of kidney
complaint"

FOOLED THE CITY.
On# of the Hoaxes Perpetrated by
Theodore Hook.
In the early part of the nineteenth
century great preparations were made
In England to receive u Spanish am
bassador who wag expected to arrive
at Southampton. A mischievous Idea
came Into the head of Theodore Hook
(born 1788, died 1841), novelist and
Journalist and above all contriver of
that diversion known as the hoax. The
English fleet was lying off Southamp
ton. Hook, then a young man. knew
many of tbe younger olllcere. He
formed his scheme, and one morning
a launch set out from the fleet and
drew up at the quay.
In this launch was he who purported
to be the Spanish ambassador In al
most royal robes, arrived two days be
fore the expected time. The mayor of
Southampton, who was to receive the
Spanish envoy, was greatly flustered.
It was all so sudden. He did the best
he could. Several companies of sol
diers. some on foot, some mounted,
were called out. The bells were rung.
The ambassador,, accompanied by a
number of young otlicers of the fleet,
was escorted with much pomp to the
mayor's palace. There was a banquet
and speechmaking, one of the young
oflicers acting as Interpreter for the
ambassador.
After it was over and the Spanish
envoy was supposed to be on bis way
to London the true ambassador arriv
ed. There was but a sorry reception
for him. The other ambassador, who
was Theodore Hook, having perpetrat
ed the greatest hoax ever known on
a mayor and a city, had exhausted
the hospitality of the town. The scan
dal was so great, the mayor and the
people of Southampton had been so
outrageously cold, that to make any
stir about the affair would only cause
them to be laughed at all the more.
With the exception of the dismissal
of some of the naval officers who had
taken part In It little was done, and
the affair was allowed to blow over.?
