Alaska Rauks Second In
Gold Production
j Washington, D. C., Jan. 2? Alaska i?
I dow crowding California, the golden
| state, (or second place among all the
' states and territories in the producing
! of gold. The preliminary estimate of
i the diretor of the mint was issued to
| day giving the output of gold and silver
in 1905, and places Alaska'sgold nroduc
tion at $14,650,100. This U a record
breaker, and by a margin of more than
15,000,000 wide for the final estimate
i for 1904 which gave the territory only
$9,601,500.
California was for many years, the
largest producer of gold, but was sur
passed by Colorado, which still held
first place in 1905, with an output of
$25,333,300.
California decreased its output to
$17,502,600, and it is regarde as safe
i prediction that Alaska w ill be in second
la 1906.
Nearly all the Alaskans now in Wash
ington believe that, Director Roberts
has under-estimated the 1905 output,
and among these are two or three of
the more conservative men carrying
business enterprises in the territory.
Among these are Cabell Whitehed, the
Nome Daniter; Capt. D. H. Jarvis, and
M. L. Washburn.
The director gives the Nome output
as $4,557,300, which is belived to be
about $750,000 short; and Tanana pro
duct as $5,107,000, which is about $1,600,
000 less than the more conservative of
estimates made by Kail-banks business
men.

"What Is this story, Uoderigo, about
>ur having planned an elopement
?i;h the runt-hniun's ilaughter7"
"Oil, aeuor, let us uot talk about
uiat."
"Coaie, tell me about It"
"Welt aeoor, 1 don't like to, but If
I must 1 must Because Arango had a
tt-sxl raueh nud several thousand sheep
iic must expect to wed his daughter to
so :ie grandee. Ue was a widower,
and Juanita was his only child. If he
liu 1 hud a son he would not have beeu
so careful of her. As It was, he watch
ed her more carefully than his sheep,
wliloh roamed where they liked. But
Ju.iu!t:i was uever allowed to leave the
ra.-.ch lest slio meet some young fel
low witiiout any property and, losing
Lsr heart, make it unpleasant for the
old man and his plans. I had some
capital in Arango's hands, and he re
lied on me to keep the sheep from
freezing or starving and to do the sell
ing. 1 could uot see why he would
uo: favor me for a son-in-law, but he
did not True, I am twenty years old
er than his daughter, but that is not
so bad, and do not women prefer to
marry men older than themselves? 1
acted very honorably with Arango. I
asked him for his daughter's hand
without having first spoken to her, in
stead of acting like an American and
getting the girl's heart without permis
siou."
"But did you not try to run away
with the girl?"
"Patience, senor. I am coming to
that What you suppose Arango do
when I ask him honorably for his
daughter? He laugh in my face. That
latrgh was the onJy answer I ever got.
I bore It as best 1 could, but never try
to take a mean revenge.
"Arango would never let any young
men come to visit at the ranch, but his
daughter, who had been educated at
the convent, sometimes had her school
mates come to see her. One day one of
these girls, Blauca Savedra, came to
the ranch. She was a tall girl, with
V.ve eyes and red cheeks. I did not
' think her beautiful, because she had
ou her upper lip that suspicion of a
mustache which for me would spoil
any woman's beauty. But there was u
careless swing with her and an honest
bearing that I liked. At first she did
not take any notice of me, but nfter a
time she began to make friends with
me. Then I thought, 'Here Is a chance
to console myself for the loss of Juan
ita and at the same time let the old
man see that I am not so much dis
appointed after all.'
"One time I started in to ask Blanca
to be my wife when she threw up her
hands and exclaimed:
" 'Oh, heavens, Is this the constancy
of man? Not two months ago you pro
posed for the hand of my friend, and
now you are going to propose for mine.
Here is Juonlta dying for love of you,
who do not deserve to be loved.'
"Well, I tell her that I did not know
that my love for Juanita was return
ed. Besides, Arango would not con
sent Would not It be better to take
the girl who was free to act for her
" 'You have no pluck,' she said. 'If
I loved a girl who loved me, I would
elope with her.'
"Then for the first time It occurred
to me to have revenge on Arango for
his Insult Besides, If I marry his
daughter I must some time share her
property with her. So I say to Blanca
that If she will help me I will carry
off Juanlta.
"'That Is easy,' she say. 'All you
have to do Is to provide relays of
horses to the railroad fifty miles
away. I will contrive to get Juanlta
off the ranch to you, and you can get
a train before the old man knows of his
girl's escape.'
"In a few days all was ready. I had
arranged to have a buckboard with
the swiftest horse on the ranch near
the entrance to the ranch at 11 o'clock
at night, and the two girls were to
meet me there. I asked Blanca what
reward she expected for her disinter
ested action, and she said she acted
o-ly through friendship, for two lov
ers. I told her that she must go with
us and live with us as long as she
liked. The truth is I was more in love
with her than Juanlta, but Juanita
would have the ranch some day, and It
would have been very foolish for me
to give her up for Blanca, who told me
that she bad no money at all. Don't
you think so, senor?"
"By all means. Go on."
"On the night we were to run away I
waited under a clump of trees with
the buckboard, for the moon was full,
and It was light as day. They must
have had trouble In carrying out their
plans to get away, for It was nearly
12 o'clock before they came. When I
saw two girls running toward me I
thought of Arango laughing at me, and
I laughed out loud myself. Along came
the girls In the moonlight, Blanca pull
ing Juanita after her.
"When they came up to the buck
board I said:
" 'Be brave, Juanlta. You will never
regret this action.'
" 'You will not, sweetheart,' said
Blanca. 'He Is right'
"Blanca put Juanlta Into the buck
board while I held the reins. The
horse started too soon, and I was
obliged to attend to him exclusively.
When I turned Blanca stood before me
In a woolen shirt and trousers, cover
ing me with a revolver.
" 'Git!' said a changed vo^c#.
"What could I do? Blanca was ?
man and had planned to run away
with Juanlta himself."
"Were they forgiven?"
"Yes; the old man thought It so good
u Joke on me that he wrote them to
come back." BRUCE PARKER.
Whole Foot Nothing But Proud Flesh
?Tried Different Physicians and
All Kinds of Ointments ? Could
Walk Only With Crutches? Ohio
Man Says :
"CUTICURA REMEDIES
THE BEST ON EARTH"
"In tho year 1899 the side of my
right foot was cut off from tho little
toe down to the heel, and the physician
who had charge of me
was trying to sew up
the side of my foot,
but with no success.
When he found out
that wouldn't work,
he began trying to
heal the wound with
all kinds of ointment,
. unt il at last my whole
foot and way up
above my calf was
nothing Dut proud
? flesh. I suffered un
told agonies for four years, and tried
different physicians and all kinds of oint
ments. I could walk only with crutches.
It is sixteen months ago since I began
using Cuticura Soap and Ointment for
my limb and foot. The first two
months the Cuticura Remedies did not
seem to work, but I kept on using them
both. In two weeks afterwards 1 saw a
change in my limb. Then I began using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment often dur
ing the day and kept it up for seven
months, when my limb was healed up
just the same as if I never had trouble.
"It is eight months now since I
stopped using Cuticura Remedies, the
best on Gods earth. I am working
at the present day, after five years
of suffering. The cost of Cuticura
Ointment and Soap was only $6;
but the doctors' bills were more like
$600. You can publish my name and
refer any one to write to me about
Cuticura Remedies. I will answer all
letters if postage is enclosed. John M.
