SOIiO t-YH*. BIO hi M
A report has Just come from
Daw don of the sale of the Midas on
Dublin Gulch, to the effect that
Harry McWhorter has bought, the
Midas quartt claim from Frank Cas
callen for the sum of $60,000, of
which $5,000 has been paid down,
and the remainder Is to be paid in
lu8tallments. James Allmark, the
mall carrier, heard the news white
on the last trip.
It is understood a seven-foot veiu
has boen opened on the claim, aud
that some of the samples assayed as
high as $2,000 to the ton, chiefly
In gold. The ore Is not free milling
but so rich that It is considered a
bonanza. It is said there are 10
000 tons lu sight. A sample of the
ore weighing several pounds was
brought to Dawson by Allmark,
and may be seen at the K. T. M.
sfore.
Caseation has been working on
the Midas for several years, and
has done real prospecting. Sever
al tunnels and shafts, it is said,
have been opened.
It is understood that Messrs. Mc
Lean and McLaughlin, experts sent
here last summer from Ottawa by
the Dominion mines department,
held that the Midas was one of the
finest properties they saw in all
the Yukon. Samples of the rock
were sent outside last fall, and re
turns recently were received at
Dublin.
Harry McWhorter, the buyer, is
a thorough miner. He was in the
Dawson country in early days. Later
he went to the Iditarod and there
made a stake on a sale of placer to
the Guggenheims. He then felt
so confident of the future of the
upper Stewart that he returned to
Dawson, and last fall went up the
Stewart to prospect.
Hi? Ancestors.
An Irish gentlemau was once attend
ed by an emineut London physician,
who, pausing and looking nt hint with
an inquiring glance, said:
"1 should like to know, sir. if your
family have been long lived?"
"Long lived, Is It?" responded the pa
tient thoughtfully. "Well, doctor. I'll
Just tell you how It is. Our family is a
west of Ireland family, and the age of
my ancestors depended entirely on the
judge and Jury who' tried thorn."?

Beginning Well.
"Begin your stories well." said an au
thor, talking to a group of literary be
ginners. "There's nothing like a good
beginning. Indeed, it's half the bat
tle." Then, with a smile, this excel
lent beginner of stories added: "Al
ways bear in mind the case of the
young man who. desiring to marry, se
cured a favorable hearing from his
sweetheart's irascible father by open
ing the interview with the words, 'I
know a way. sir. whereby you can save
money.' "
The Widow Had Learned Her Lesson.
This Is the story of a iiexvlv made
widow, sitting sobbing convulsively
all over tne shoulder of another wo
man who happened to be her dearest
friend for that particular fortnight.
"There, there. Fanny, don't cry!
You'll only make yourself sick, and It
can't do any good." whispers the sym
pathetic soul, patting the widow's arm
affectionately.
Widow (between sobsl? Oh. 1 know;
I know, but my poor Howard? I was

I ever marry again I'll be more

Greedy Dogfish.
A story is going tbe rounds in which
four anglers were occupied with one
fish, a big mackerel. It took the bait
of one of them and then proceeded to
entangle the four lines, so that It
seemed there were four fish. I dare
say it came in for some hard sayings
when the truth was made manifest.
But it is not uncommon for fish to take
two different baits. I have known it
to happen with both perch and pike.
Dogfish, of course, will often do It.
In fact, I doubt if there is a limit to
the number of baits a dogfish woold
take if you only gave him the baits
and the time and the opportunity.?

Sulphur Bottom Whales.
Probably the largest of the whales,
as well as the mo?t gigantic of all liv
ing creatures, is tbe sulphur bottom.
It attains a length of nearly or quite
100 feet and a weight of 150 tons. One
individual measured 95 feet in length,
39 feet in girth, with a Jawlione 21
feet long; baleen (whalebone), 4 feet
long; weight of baleen, 800 pounds;
weight of entire whale, 147 tons, and it
yielded 110 barrels of oil. The sulphur
bottom seldom bolts, as the whalers
term tbe actiou of leaping diagonally
from the sea, or breaches, as perpen
dicular springs are called, but when It
does perform In this manner It pre
sents a truly wonderful sight.

Go back a century. Eighteen hun- |

Napoleon made up his mind to Invade ,

it was on June 24 that he invaded
llussla with (*10,00) men, and be reach
ed Moscow on Sept. 14. That night
lire broke out, and within five days the
city was burned to the ground. Even
then he remained until Oct. 18 before
commencing his retreat
In the lust week of October began
the worst frost which Europe had
known for three generations. The
Thames froze from its source to the
sea. The Seine the it blue, the Dan
ube, were all Iccbouud. On the Adri
atic, off Venice, was seen the amaslng
sight of floating ke floes. The Darda
nelles and nearby waters were froson.

Into Asia frost fell heavy on land and
sen. In London It froze for six weekk
without a brenk From Jan. 14 to Feb.
24 the thermometer was below freezing
every night. In the Crimea the cold
was fearful, and the English army, dis
gracefully catered for, suffered horri
bly. In ail the British forces lost 20
056 men, and of th?se only 12 per cent
fell In battle. The rest were destroyed
by cold and disease, aggravated by a
rotten commissariat.
In 1870 came the biggest war of tb?

the tltrnlc conflict between France and
Germany By Oct 29 thore were 850,
000 German troops In France, Farls

Again Jack Frost came to the aid of
the Germans. A long spell of Intense

Germans, <vho bud the whole country

commissariat suffered very llttie. By
January the city was In such a terrible
condition thai It surrendered.
The ijate of the last great war before
that of 1912 in which Turkey was en

his dii untless band defeated them In
four successive battles.
In November winter set In three
?reeks earlier than usual The Turks
had no winter clothing and little to
