AUtSIU'S GOLD OUTPUT
Editorially the Post-Intelllgencer of
Seattle says: While the output of gold
Id Alaska will not reach the Hitch mark
anticipated during the current year, oo
account of labor disturbances, which
cheoked operations in the northern
country, receipts at Seattle from Janu
ary 1 to October 1 make an exception
ally Rood showing. October receipts of
gold alone totaled 94,357,060, while the
aggregate since the first of January
reaehed 115,461,611,
Changes In methods of mining in
Alaska, with more satisfactory labor
cooditlons, will run the total fur the
current ?ear up to a decent average,
and next year's output will probably be
the largest in the hUtory of mining in
the northern country. But for the bad
iafluence of labor troubles in Alaska,
undoubtedly the output this year would
have run up close to the $30,000,000
mark.
With now appliances In use next year,
there la no reason why Alaska's ship
ments of gold should not reach a new
point, and one which will put the terri
tory in first position among gold pro
ducing countries, not merely in the
matter of percentage increase of out
put, a distinction already achieved, but
in the aggregate value of the yield
also.
Steady increases io the monthly ship
menu of gold from Alaska to Seattle
during the current year are an encour
aging feature of the present situation,
and Indicate rapid recovery from the
depressed condition of operations caused
by laoor troubles. June's receipts at
Seattle totaled $2,740,23(5, July's was
<2,383,715, August's $2,056,534, Septem
ber's $2,371,671, and October's *4,357,
060. The showing is significant, for It
Indicates steadily increasing activities
after a period of partial stagnation in
the mining regions.
EVENING RAIN
Twilight down the west

With a gentler guest
Singing in her train^
Harkens every breast,
Every heart and brain;
"Peace, oh, oeace is best!"
Huns the sweet refrain.
So the world is bles';
Joy I* not nor pain;
Love itself learns rest
Of the summer rain.

A SPEEDY AND
PERMANENT CURE
"We express to you herewith our best
thanks (or the cure of our baby from
eczema. The eczema appeared when
the child was three months old. Wt
applied to several doctors and hospitals,
each of which gave us something differ
ent every time, but nothing brought re
lief. A physician recommended a salve
which we tnrew into the fire after two
days' use as the eczema became worse
bo that the baby scratched his face. At
last, one of our friends recommended to
us Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint
ment. A few days afterwards improve
ment could be noted. Since then we
have used nothing but Cuticura Soap
and Cuticura Ointment, and now the
baby is six months old and is auite cured.
All that we used was one cake of Cuti
cura Soap and two boxes Cuticura Oint
ment, costing in all $1.25. Even the
poorest man can pay that instead of
throwing it into the doctor's lap. I
myself only make twelve dollars a week
as a teamster, but I recommend the
Cuticura Remedies strongly to all moth
ers whose children suffer from such dis
eases. They are cheap, harmless and
good. C. F. Kara ana Wife, 343 East

FOR SORE HANDS
