The most appropriate and at the i
same time the most attractive sou
venir one may take troui Alaska, is
that which instrumental ia focus

Kver since Uie magic year oi l&-'<
Sold ilia poured from the creeks and
beaches oi Alaska and been convert
ed into money reckoned into millions.
Hence the sight of gold either mint
ed or mounted at once directs ones
mind to the land of tlie midnight sun
What more apprupriate then, than
piece of nugget jeweler?, either as
a frame for the beautiful mastodon
ivory, stained by Ui.. countless years
it has endured, or nuggets joined in
chain work by a skilled artisan. A
brooch or solitary nugget of curious
natural shape is a souvenir which
tells the story of the mad rush to
the Klondike.
The fact that a purchase of nugget
jewekry is in reality an investment
in an article that cannot depreciate
seems to be dawning upon the vis
itors to the Northland and the sales
are rapidly increasing in this line |
of goods.
H. D. Kirmse has made a study of |
the art of nugget jewelcry mounting,
and has the finest display of the j
"yellow metal'* ever gathered to- j
g ether in one salesroom.

* The merit of Doan's Kidney Pills I
has been Lnoroughly proven to me j
and consequently I have no hesita
t'oc in recommending them. About j
two years ago 1 suffered from pains j
in my back and I believe the trouble
wss caused by excessive running of {
the sewing machine. As Doan's Kid

ber of our family with the best of j
remits, I was advised to try them.
Mvch to my gratification they proved
to be just what 1 required, driving
away my aches and pains and improv

in the house since then, knowing
tha- they cai be relied upon to give
relief from kidney disorders."

NEWSY LETTER
FM HOD
Doctor I. H. Moore, writing to a
friend in Skagway from Iditarod un- j
! tier date of July 13 gives some very ]
i interesting facte bearing on the new
! <-st placer mining camp of the Yukon.
The following excerpts arc taken fro?*
the letter:
i "The town is full of people we
| know but it is a busted community
i in so far as the general spirit of bus
iness is concerned.
"The terrible experience of last
winter has made the people very sor<\
The Guggenheims by taking options
held back the work. They left and
did not buy, for the reason that own
ers and laymen put such prices on.
that it was not good business to buy.
Under these circumstances the coun
try was held up, and so work Is Just
starting and times may get better af- J
ter a while.
"Prices are so enormous that ono |
must make a lot to live. It is nothin I
like OLD SKAGWAY, where ill had
some money.
"The A. B. hall is fine. Court will
meet tn it on Monday. There will be
a great exodus from hero this fall j
unless this summer shows something
better.
"Ruby crek is only an expectation, i
Nothing has been demonstrated. We
stopped there for an hour.
"They skin you on every hand In ,
this country. We could only reach
I IMkeman by steamer and then come
! up on a launch for which we paid
I $20 and bought our own meals.
"I have been fighting mosquitos for
'wo weeks and the weather Is as hot
as h ? 11. The mosquitos bite the j
fiercest of any I ever saw.
! "1 will write you of my conclusions
It is safe to say that it is not ad
i visahle now for people to start for
Ruby or Iditarod. I think that all the
men necessary are on the ground.
This summer and fall may show thing
up brighter but one should wait,
"From Holy Cross to Iditarod it
costs $53 fare beside the tips. Flour
is at $20 a sack, with bacon and ham
at $1 a pound, which is going some.
"There was no work for anyone all
the past winter. The Kuskokwim
bubble has broken. From what the
bankers say here I expect to see a ;
big cleanup. The season's work this
year will be short and. what the win
ter will show, God only knows.
"One should have the wife along
so as to have a decent bite to eat at
a living price and to rob the life of
its horrors. Restaurant prices are
fierce.
' Major Strong and wife are fine,
and make one feel better than any
persons I have yet met. The largest i
knockerV club in the world is here I
and I feel that they are wrong, for
it looks to me as if a fine camp must
develop here.
"If I had you with me, I think I
i-ould keep up steam. All drinks are
25 cents; all cigars the same: steaks
I $1.75: coffee and sinkers 25;t 75 cents
to launder a shirt; 15 for a collar ? I
i^iess I will wear mine until they fall
off."
KUSKOKWIM
LOOKING OOOO
Making the distance from Donlan
to Flat in one day even at this time
of the year, Williams and Keller, two
prospectors who have been sinking
on the Donlan creek bench during th
winter, arrived early this week, says
the Iditarod Pioneer, and reported
that there will be considerable activi
ty on that stream and Its tributaries
throughout the summer.
On Quartz, Snow Gulch, Lois and
Donlan bench there will be five dif*
ferent outfits working, and all of
them have a little money jn sgiht.
Some of the prospectors are now
down at the mouth of Crooked, re
plenishing their grub supply from the
steamers Quickstep and Lavelle Young
both of which have made trips to
Bethel. It is very likely that there
will be a small trading station estab
lished at the month of crooked this
summer.

BOB HENDERSON
ON M'MILLAN
The followign interview In the Daw
son News will throw so'ne light on
the recent stampede to the McMillan
which was reported by the Alaskan
some days ago. The Dawson News
says:
Bob Henderson, discoverer of the
Klondike, has returned from the
Pelly River country, where he has
located new pay. Hob Is enthusiastic
over the proposition, and will return
at once and resume work on his
ground.
McMillan river, a tributary of the
Pelly, 100 miles from the Yukon, was
the center of Henderson's activity.
He left here in May on the first boat
up the river. He worked on three or
four creeks tributary to the McMH- I
lan, and found pannings so flattering '
that he returns there to do more ex
tensive prospecting. He speaks of |
three and four-cent dirt and which
he got from bedrock on the rim. The '
gold is course, one forty-cent piece |
being found. i
"In no place," says Dob. "did I
get a skunk pan. Some others arc
in the country. Sourdough Yukon Coun
cillor Max Landreville and Mlnard,
the Pelly rancher, are going up the
McMillan to Slate creek. The coun
try Is full of game. Wolves are num
erous."
The creeks on which Dob put in
most of his time are steep, shallow,
and carry large boulders, and are
shoveling in propositions.
