Notwithstanding all the predictions 1
in at bare been made regarding the and
of the pay oq ihe first, second and third
beaches in the Nome country, strikes
continue to be made. Every week, says
a loc.il pjper, sees some new And made
and since last (all two miles of the
third beach has been changed from
prospect ground to paying mines.
The theory is now advanced that with
time pa; will be located for a great dis
tance ?ui and perhaps many miles west
of Noma on the ancient ^>eaoh lines.
There l? every reason to believe with
the m?ny new claims thai have been
opened up and the energy displayed in
prospecting the various locations along
these beach lines that not for several
year* ?^11 the fall extent of them be
known, an aver increasing output in the
meantime being the reward for those
whj have been willing to follow the
suggestions of the geologists who
prophesied just such finds as have tak
en place this fall. Mining men are ju
bilant and money will pour into ma
chinery to prospect the benches for
many miles ea t and west of the old lo
cations.
ELECTRICITY HANOLES THE ICE
On the Hud>on river more Ice is
harvested than in any other place on
ea^th. And of course they do It better
there than any where else. No hand
touches the Ice in ihe whole process.
That mysterious a ;ency, electricity,

ibout the constitution of which Ljrd 1
Kelvin, after the study of a life time,
laid ho knew nothing, does the whole
trick.
The glistening surface of the river Is
marked and cat with plows drawn by
horses. The cakes are spudded off and
floated to the electrically-operated
chain conveyors where they are auto*
matlcally hoisted from the water and
hurried in a continuous stream to the
ice houte*. As the cakes pass along
the conveyors they go through the
various finishing machines. One device
trims the cakes to the proper siae;
another shaves off the smoke and grime
and snow from the surface. Until the
ice hits the saw dust it is untouch
ed by human hands.
Jafet Llndeberi. who came to Alaska
from Lapland as a relneer herder in
1S93 and who w?s one of the discover
ers of Anvil cieek and thereby made a
good sited fortune, distinguished him
self recently In tho Butler hotel, Se
attle, by making a speech denouncing
home rule for Alaska. Qow wealth has
changed Jafet. A few years avo he
didn't know the difference between
home rule and a ho'e in the eround. ?

burning of the vessel, has been sen

And it took tbem three yea>*s to discov

Sores All Over Face and Body? :
Could Not Tell What She Looked <
Like? Unable to Sleep? Grew
Worse Under Doctors. ,
CURED BY CUTICURA
IN ONE MONTH ;
A grateful mother, in the following
letter, tells of another of those mar
velous cures by Cuticura: "When
my baby -was four months old her
skin broke out with a humor. I took
^her to a doctor, who said it was
eczema. He gave me medicine to
give her, but she kept getting worse
all the time. Her little face and body
were so covered with sores and large
scales you could not tell what she
looked like. No child ever had a
worse case. Her face was being eaten
away, and even licr finger hails fell
off. Then it itched so she could not
sleep, and for many weary nights we
could get no rest. At last we got
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, first
bathing her in warm water with the
Soap, and then spreading on the Oint
ment with soft cloths. I saw a change
in a week. The sores began to heal,
and she could sleep at night, and in
one month she had not one sore on
her face or body. Any mother hav
ing children with eczema or humors
will find a friend in Cuticura Soap
and Ointment, (signed) Mrs. Wary
Sanders, 709 Spring St., Camden, N. J.,
Aug. 14, 1904."
The foregoing statement justifies
the oft-repeated assertion that Cuti
cura Soap and Ointment afford instant
relief, and permit sleep for baby and
rest for tired mothers, and points to
a speedy, permanent, and economical
cure, when all else fails, in the mosft
torturing, disfiguring, itching, burn
ing, bleeding, scaly, crusted, and
pimply skin, and scalp humors.
