The steam whaling schooner Tyee
Junior, built last summer by the Mor
an company of Seattle, Is on the way to
her station at Tyee Harbor, Admlrality
Island. She carries a h<rp;on gnn, one
shot from which la sufficient to kill the
largest whale.
A new strike of placer is repotted on
Valdez creek, at the head of theSusltna
river. The discovery was made on No.
2 above by persons who beve been work
ing all the winter prospecting. The
diicoverers claim that they will take
|100,000 from the claim tbla sun.mrr.
Owing to the very indifferent sup
port accorded to It. the Atlln Claim has
had to cloee down twice withii the past
six months. It has again started up,
thU time wltb the determination of be
longing to no political party, but will
be indepentent and "boost." The name
Of the editor and manager is now Hur
bert Fanlkner.
A Fairbanks special says: "A tela
phone message from Vault creek says!
that & remarkable strike bas been made
OD Conta's la; on the Isabella gronp.
Although the ground gained fame lust
year by Con'.a o^ering to bet $10,000
that he had a forty foot (ace la which
?o pan could be taken that would go
leu than it, this strike ia far above the
values then found."
The worst storm of toe year broke lo
upon St. Michael on the eight of March
13th, the wind gaining a high velocity
and scattering destruction of buildings
in Its path. A fire broke out in the
military stiblea and many of the govern
ment mules perlahed. The loss of gov
ernment property will approximate
110.000. Other buildings were for a
time threatened. No ooe was Injured.

"When there came a knock at the

that No. 2 bosses the roost. If It hain't,
then I'm roady to admit that she do.

?econiTlTine. TTIIen TTost my first wife,
you all know that for the first two
weeks I laid ou the grass under the
apple trees and was Inconsolable. Pud
ding and milk was tho only thing 1
conld eat for days. I Jest felt that
there was nothing left In this world
for me and that I should never care to
see another dog tight or to discuss poli
cies or religion ag'ln.
"While this feeling was on uie Saw
Alnslee's woodshed took Are and call
ed out everybody in towu? everybody
but me. I never left the house. 1
didn't seetn to care a durn If all the
woodsheds In America took Are. Dur
ing that time also Ebenetcr Lane lost
his doc, and Moses Warner had ten
bushels of oats stoleu from his barn,
and I didn't take the slightest inter
est. If a circus had come along at
that time I shouldn't even have look
ed out of the winder to see if there
were auy two humped camels follerlng
the band wagon.
"There was folks iu this village,
gentlemen, who said that I'd grieve
myself to death over my loss, and
there were others who said I'd be
snooping around after No. 2 within a
year. As for me, I felt that I was
wasting away and was powerfully sur
prised one day to And myself eating
heartily of a boiled dinner. Prom that
time I began to pick up, but for
months afterward I had no more
thoughts of marrying ag'ln than Lem
uel Goodheart has of putting his foot
agin tho hot stove. It seemed to me
that the man who lost such an angel
of a wife as 1 had deserved to l>e shot
for thinking of marrying agin.
"Jest when the idea hit me that I'd
better look around a little for another
woman I can't say. I think It was
*fter I'd cooked my own meals, made
my own bed, sewed on my own but
tons and washed my own shirts for
seven or eight months. Then the feel
ing stole over me that there was room
in the honse for another. It sorter
skeered me at first, but, I'm saying
that lfs a feeling you can get used
to in a day or two. As soon as I be
gan to wonder if I really ought to
marry ag'ln I found myself advancing
t dosen reasons why I should.

SCALY ERUPTIONS

Itched Constantly? Scratched Until
Blood Flowed? Suffered 10 Years
?Doctors and Medicines Were
Fruitless? Tries Cuticura and Is
Completely Cured
BY THREE BOXES OF
CUTICURA OINTMENT
"When I was about nine years old
jmull sores appeared on each of my
lower limbs. I scratched them with a
shortly afterwards
both of those liinbs
became ao sore that
I could scarcely
walk. Whey I had
been suffering for
about a month the
sores began to heal,
but small scaly
. eruptions appeared
where the sores had
been. From that
time onward I was
troubled by such
severe itching that,
unf (I T hflramn
accustomed to it, I would scratch the
?ores until the blood bogaa to flow.
This would stop tho itching for a few
days; but scaly places would appear
again and the itching would accompany
them. After I suffered about ten years
I made a renewed effort to effect a cure.
The eruptions by this time had appeared
on everr part of my body except my
face ana hands. Tho best doctor in my
native county advised me to uw arsenic
in small doses and a salve. I then tued
to bathe the sores in a mixture which
gave almost intolerable pain. In addi
tion I used other remedies, such as iodine,
sulphur, zinc salve, 's Salvo,
Ointment, and In fact I was con
tinually giving some remedy a fair trial,
novor usiug less than one or two boxes or
bottles. All this was fruitless. Finally
my hair began to fall out and I was rapidly
becoming bald. I used 's ,
but it did no good. A few months after,
having used almost everything elso, l
thought I would try Cuticura Ointment,
having previously used Cuticura Soap
and being plaased with it. After using
three boxes I was completely cured,
and my hair waa restored, after fourteen
years of suffering and an expenditure of
at least $30 to S60 in vainly endeavoring
to find a cure. I shall be glad to wrije
to any one who may be interested in
my cure. B. Hiram Mattingly, Ver
