THE BIGGEST MINING
W ith ihe mailing away from the ship
yards this week of the first of the
dredges constructed for the Yukon
Gold Basin Dredging company it is con
fidently be'ieved by tboee In position to
know that the greatest mining and cold
producing proposition r^jr Instituted
in tho Yukon has been inaugurated,
?ays the Whitehorse Star. Thai the
rut concession of the company, which
comprises 105 miles on the Stewart
river, Is enormously rich is known to
a'l who have ever washed out rrub
stakes on the numerous bars of that
river which Rave handsome returns
even when tho most primitive meth
ods were employed. However, now
that the most modern gold saviog means
known to the mining world are to be
used (he output cannot be other than
enormous. Experienced pioneer pros
pectors and miners agree that the com
pany mentioned of which ex-Governor
William O^ilvle is the head, has <nore
rich territory in Its holding than has
anv other miniig svndicate now operat
ing in the Yukon. (laving been towed
to the scene of future operations the
big gold miner tiaJ saver will probably
bo at work within (he uoxt ten days or
two weeks. The former governor went
with the dredge and will give the
operations his personal supervision.
The ponderous dredge w.s constructed
in the Li. Y. N. shipyard at ibis place,
the machinery, which is of the most
modem and up 10 date, b?ing supplied

Governor Hegcatt says that the bill
making a flat rate of $1,000 for saloon
license* anywhere in Alaska, which
w?* lost in the shuttle during the late
session of congre**, will be psssed when
congress reconvenes next December.
The bill is utterly unfair and one
sided as to be entirely worthy of its
sponsor. Alaska is suffering from Hog

AN AFRICAN RESCUE.
Saved From a Great Army of Ravenoua
Driver Ants.
lit her "West African Studies" Miss
Kings, 'ey tells this >tn; \ about the fa
mous "driver" ants: "I was In a llftle
village, Mud out of a hut eauie the
owner and his family and nil the
household parasites pellmell. leaving
the drivers In possession, but the
mother aud father of the fauilly, when
they recovered from this unwonted
burst of activity, showed such n II vel \
convent and such unmistakable signs
of anguish at having loft something
behind them In the hut that I thought
!t must be the baby. 'In him far cor
ner for floor!' shrieked the distracted
parents, and Into that hut I charged.
"Too true! There In the corner lay
the poor little thing, a mere Inert
black mass, with hundreds of crue!
drivers already swarming upon It. To
seize It and give It to the distracted
mother was, as the reporter would say,
'the work of an Instant.' She gave a
ery of Joy and dropi>ed It Instantly
Into a water barrel, where her hus
baud held It down with a hoe, chuc
kling contentedly. Shiver not. tnv friend,
at the callousness of the Ethiopian.
That there thing wasn't an infant. It
was a ham!"
Wltolisome Advice For Boy*.
X ow, yoii lids who want to leave

very seldom be unemployed. It Is tho

I.oitflon Scholars' Own.
Spoiled Musicians.
Rubinstein disapproved of marriage
for musicians. Just before his death
he spoke sadly of his Russian lady pu
pils. "What have I wasted nil my time
on them for?" he asked Irritably.
' Every one married! It's too provok
ing! Hero they are, spoiled forever for
art life. What did they study for?"
The Tendon Musical World remarks
that "those who ask why we have no
piva t lady 'composers may be left to
?hlnk on these things."

AS LONG AS SHE LIVES
"Some four years ago I had tho mis
fort uno to have my feel get sore. Tho
doctors could not tell me what it to,
1 used everything I could hear or think
cf out nil to no avail. Tho feet were
all cracked across the bottom as if you
had taken a knife and cut them every
whichwuy. They wvuld peel up. and.
oh. my I how they did liurt when I
would try to walk ? which I was not
able to do for a long time. One day
one of our neighbors came to our houso
and asked what was tho matter. 1
showed him my feet and he said he had
some C'uticura Ointment which would
heal them up. There was only enough
to apply onee, but I found it helped
mo so much that 1 sent for a set of
Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and
Cuticura Pills, costing one dollar, and
to my great joy, my feet were cured
and have nover troubled me since. I
shall praise Cuticura as long as 1 live
