The moo!, appropriate and at (he

thai whicu was mstrumentai in focus
sing the attention of Uxe entire
world oa our great country.
Stu s?nce Uc ma<ic year o i iSt'7 '
gold has poureu irom Ue ueeks and j
boaclico oa a and been convert
ed ;.ito money reckoned into millions.
Hence the sight of gold either mint
ed or mounted at once directs one*
mind to the land o ? the midnight sun
W hat more appropriate then, than
piece oi nuclei yeweiery, either as 1
a frame lor the beautiful mastodon
ivory, stained i>y the countless years
it has enuured, or nuggets joined in
chaiu work by a skilled artisan. A
brooch or solitary nugget oi curious
natural shape is a souvenir which
tells the storj of the mad rush to
the Klondike.
The fact that a purchase of nugget
jewekry is in reality an investment
in an article that cannot depreciate
seems to be dawning upon the vis
itors to Uic Northland and the sales
are rapidly increasing in this line
>vf goods.
H. D. Kirrnse has made a study of
the art of nugget jewel cry mounting,
and has the finest display of the
"yellow metal" ever gathered to

' The merit of Doan's Kidney Pills I

two years ago I suffered from pains
in my back and 1 believe the trouble
was caused by excessive running of

Mi'ch to my gratification they proved

GREEK STRIKE
E. W. Achlsoe, one oT Skagway'* 1
oldest citixens arrived back from Nan
son creek oo last night's train. Mr
Achisou said that he spent two weeks
on Nanaen and located three claims,
on which hq did some prospecting be
fore starting back to Skagway.
The gold is very good looking and
assays $19 to the ounce, which is
nearly pure. The samples which Mr.
Achlson brought back were taken
from ten pans of dirt and will weigh
something over a dollar. The pros
pecting was done near the mouth of
Slate creek which is a tributary of
Nansen.
Nansen creek is all staked, but some
of the tributaries were open for loca
tion at the time Mr. Achteoai left four
days ago. There are very few in the
country and the diggings are 50 miles
bock from the river at Carmack's. The
trail is very bad for packing now,
and it is impossible to get supplies in
at this time of the year.
From Investigations so far made,
they have demonstrated there is a pay
streak on Nansen creek at Discovery
claim 200 feet wide. The pay is six
to ten feet thick and averages from
twenty to thirty dollars per day to
the man when drifting. The ground
is all frozen and it is thirty feet to
bedrock, which is a clay formation;
the real bedrock never having been
reached. Shafts have been sunk and
pay located from 14 below tq 8 above
Discovery,
Mr. Achison will take In his sup
plies this winter and commence min
ing operations as soon as he g?ts his
supplies on the ground. There is no
bother with water in that country.

Getting Near to Nature.
It was not always perfectly clear at
first thought just what lien Caldon j
meant when he spoke. The best a |
hearer could do wits to guess at the j
most obvious nieauiiiK and let It go at i
that. In the matter of a captive moose, j
which belonged to Ben. the doctor fol
lowed tliis course The moose was i
undoubtedly sick and a veterinary had !
been summoned to attend him. Ben
went out to the pen to assist the doc
tor.
"Is he mortal, doc?" asked Ben with
extreme concern.
"Are you asking? if he Is sick?" bat- !
arded the doctor.
"Sure," replied Ben, "only I meant |
Is he goin' to die from It?"
"It's too soon to tell you yet," re
plied the doctor, "but ho has pneumo
nia pretty badly."
Ben's eyes grew round with surprise !
Pneumonia in his experience had been j
confined to humankind.
"Why, doc," he b?rs? out, "does a
moose have features like a grown per- i
son?"? Youth's Companion.
First Aid.
Speaking of the necessity for wide
spread education In first aid to the
Injured, the St. Louis Times says:
"Perhaps It will not be taken amiss
if we call attention to tbe obvious fact
that nine-tenths of all the trouble in
the world la due to Ignorance of cer
tain simple things. It might even be
said safely that all mishaps of what
ever kind? mental, physical and spirit
ual? are due to a want of experience
and training. Accidents of a thou
?and varieties, from drowning to the
taking of a dose from the wrong bot
tle, are in a majority of cases fatal
simply because there was not present
some one who knew what to do. In
juries which almost tear tbe body to
pieces are curable if the man of train
ing and experience Is at band. The
simplest Injuries often prove fatal
when they are not properly attended
to, when the Injured person does not
get the benefit of a little simple help."
How a Great Surgeon Died.
While Bichat, the famous surg#on,
was dying of typhoid fever he tamed
to an old colleague who was sitting
beside his bed and said to him:
"My friend. I am lost, but It Is some
consolation to know that my esse is
very curious. During the last few
days I have noticed some odd symp
toms, and I am studying them care
fully."
"Oh, you may recover yet," said the
friend.
"That is impossible," replied Bichat,
"and If it were not for one thing I
would be quite willing to die."
"What Is thatr asked the friend.
"I am excec-dlngly sorry," snswered
Bichat, "that I shall not have an op
portnnlty to perform an autopsy on
myself after my death, for I know
that I would make some wonderful
scientific discovery."
An hour later he was dead.
Whsn th? World Was Drunk.
Nowhero In all the world today can
be found as many confirmed drunk
ards as there were nrnong the Thra
clans, the Iberians, the Celts or the
Scythians. The man who didn't get
drunk every day or two was regarded
as queer. The Oreeks were moderate
drinkers until they began to copy the
luxury of the Persian feasts. The Ho
mans imitated the Oreeks. Then the
whole world went on a mad drunk. It
was a saturnalia. Caligula owes hi*
niche in tbe hall of fame to the drunk
en banquets with which he tnnde even
Rome marvel. The excesses made
fashionable by such potentates as Ln
callus. Nero. Verres, Tiberius. Caligu
la, Vltelllus and Domltlan really began
In the days of Pompeii, and Ihcy mark
the beginning of the end of tbe repub
lic.? Argonaut.
Shekel* and Half 8h*kels.
The early Biblical references to
pieces of silver do not In the original
convey the Idea of coins, but of
weights, shekels. The Mosaic "obla
tion to God" was a half shekel, and
the shekel Is explained by Josephus
as equal to four Athenian drachmae of
the value of about 66% cents in Ameri
can money. The first Jewish coinage
under authority was. It is believed,
struck by Simon, the Maccabee. about
the year 140 B. C. It consisted of
shekels and half shekels. This coin
age had its value signified upon It,
"Shekel Israel," In Samaritan charac
ters.
