SPOKANE INTERESTED III CONRAD
CONCENTRATOR TO BE INSTALLED
fl. W. Vanoe, In charge of the prop
erty of the Conrad Mining company in .
ttM Yakos district, stopped over in
Spokane * few days ago on bis way to
Dearer, where he go is to purchase a
concentrator to be installed at the
mine at aa early a date ?i possible.
There are a number of Spokane people
interested In tbeae and other Yukon
mlnee and Mr. Vance's visit was made
the ooeaeioo of long newspaper inter
view* and from these dispatches were
?eat over the coast. To the Spokane
Interviewers Mr. Vance gives a ..low
ing arconntof ihe rich cess of the Yu
kon property, de said:
"TheCbartd company owns about
1,000 acres of well developed property
and is now shipping gold and silver ores
toTaooma. About 8,000 feet of devel
opment work has been done and two
Riblet tramways havj been toenailed
b ? Spokane people,"*
The dispatch continues:
The Gonrtd claims are looted
about 70 miles from Skagway, on the
White Pass & Yukon railroad, and not
osiy from Mr. Vance, but from others
come reports of the wooderfu! dep -sits
of rich ore encountered in deyel
opment work.
la this connection it is interesting to
note that ax&aj well known mining
men whu made their headquarters in
Spokane are largely interested ii the
Yukon and other districts, in Alaska.
M. D. Cantield, owning claims on Jack
creek, reports a wonderful strike of
sllver-:ead ores on bis property, several
ass<ys showing returns of over 100
ounces and 51 per cent lead. Charles
Fogerty owns several claims near
Ca fleki's property on which have been
found rich deposits of silver, copper and
lead.
Thomas B. Garrison has lately ac
quired a promising mine about 40 miles
from Whltehorse. near several claims
owned by Byron White of this city. It
is stated that Mr. Garrison intends to
place his property in the shipping list
at an early date.
Referring to the mining sections in
A'aika, In which Spokane men are in
terested, V. Blodgett, a mining expert,
reiterated last night a statement fre
quently made by mining engineers to
the effect that mining in Alaska is In
Its infancy, the rich sections scarcely
having been scratched over. Mr.
B olgett ventured the predictlfin that
witbln 20 >ears the production of pre
cious metal in Alaska will be increased
ten fold.
Exccpt ?
From time immemorial there bad
b*en a law la Applepite. County War
wick. England, to the effect that the
major had the best of everything In
tows. and. for Instance, should one say
he had the best coat In the place be
moat ?dd the words, "except the may
or."
One day a atranRer came to Apple
ftte and ijad illungr there ni the inn.
After paying his bill be said to the
landlord, "I've had the best dinner la
the country." ,
The Landlord? Except the mayor.
The Stranger? Except nothing!
As a result the tourist was called be
fore the magistrate and fined ?10 for
his breaking of the laws of the place.
When the man bad paid his fine he
looked around him and said slowly,
"I'm the bigjcest fool In town, except
the mayor."? Harcer't Weekly. _
AN 11 Gil
II MILE LONE
From an lrotiiunker'a poiut" of view
tlie greatest achievement during the
Revolutionary period \vas the making
of the great West Point chain. This
massive chain, which has probably
never had an equal Blnee the first ham
mer struck upon the first anvil, was
stretched across the Hudson river at
West Point to prevent the British fleet
from making a second attack upon
Kingston and Albany. It was nearly
a mile In length and weighed almost
200 tons, many single links being as
heavy as an ordinary sized man. To*
complete It in six weeks sixty men
hammered day and night at seventeen
forges, and the cost of It was placed
at $400,000. "The great chain Is buoy
ed up," writes Dr. Tacher, "by very
large logs, pointed at the ends to less
en their opposition to the force of the
current. The logs are placed at short
distances from each other, the chain
carried over them and made fast to
each by stapleB. There are also a
number of anchors dropped at proper
distances, with cables made fast to
the chain, to give it greater stability."
No British ship passed this Iron bar
rier. With Its aid West Point became
the strongest military post in America
?so strong that treachery was tried
where force of arms had -failed. When
Benedict Arnold was plotting the sur
render of West Point ho wrote Andre
and said, "I have ordered that a link
be removed from the great chain an;l
taken to the smith for repair." The
chain, however, remained in place tilf*
tbe end of the war, and links of It are
still to be seen in the museums of Al
bany, West Point, Newburg and New
York.? Exchange.
Quinsy Soro Throat.
The following mixture will generally
quickly bring relief In case of a quinsy
sore throat: Thirty grains of chloride
of potash, three drams of tincture
chloride of lrou. four drams of glycer
in and enough distilled water to make
four ounces. The dose for an adult Is
opg teaspoonful every hour until re-_

THE PENGUIN.
Owr.icaily S.rio.s In Mating? -Its
Wickod Flippar*.
It is probable that penguin a pair for
life, although nothing definite la known
un the subject. When mates are cho
sen the process Is as Interesting as It Is
striking. As Is the case with so many
creatures, the males light with each,
other for the females, might being
right In the peuguln codo. The birds
have regular lighting places, and one
such battleground was found under
an overhanging ledge. 'The results of
Innumerable encounters were present
In the shape of great quantities of
loose feathers surrounding the little
lighting ring, which Itself was clear of
all debris. Although the beak of a pen
guin Is so formidable a weapon when
used on thin skinned enemies, yet their
own skin and lilubber are so resistant
hat they can inflict no injury by this
neaus. The customary mode of light
ing Is really a kind of boxing, or "fllp
,>eriiig," It might be called The two
-ombatants proceed to the fighting
>lace and then walk cautiously about
?ach other, jockeying for an opening
ind ready to take Instant advantage of
i false step or move on the part of the
>ppoue'nt. All. however. Is solemn and
'ecorous, consistent with the rest of
he life of these strange little beings.
When at last each secures a good
Tip on the neck or body of the oppo
ent the real lighting lieglns. As nlne
entlis of (lie life of peugulns is spent
?n the open sea. where they pursue
tnd capture fixli, swimming ,\\ ith great
-iwlt'tness by slrokes of the flipperlike
ivlngs. it can well be Imagined that
the strength of their wings Is very
great, and when the two fighters begin
to belabor each other with rapidly vi
brating flipper strokes each resounding
whack must make a considerable im
pression even on the protecting coat of
blubber fat. No one has ever recorded
the finish of such an encounter, but !t
Is not probable that they result fatally.
The weaker of the two must Boon suc
rumb under such severe punishment
iand yield the field and the fair penguin
mate to his stronger rival. The ,
strength of the wing strokes can be
tested b.v allowing a peuguln to take
hold of. ou "'s cpU s'oqvcm or^ l-otter,

chanx e of climate noul<t help me but
cothing 1 did gave me relief la spite of
remedies and medical treatment. On
procuring Doan'a Kidnev Pills, I found

the time I got tbem I was suffering from
an intense burning sensation as if two
live coals were placed directly over my
kidneys, the secrecions from the kid?

coffee and of a bid odor. After using1
two boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills, I old
not have the least pain in my back or
