J. It Brooks, the packer jtt pioneer fame, has been the prime factor In deflecting the travel from the Fantall. After the freee-ip last fall he put on stages and freight teams on the trail, and, regard less of the weather, he mantured to moke regular trip between Caribou and Atlln over the lakes. Though better time can be made over the Fantall and the fare Is about $5 less, travelers to Atlln seem to prefer the longer and more comfortable horse trail to the trip behind dogs over the cutofT. There are only two roodhouses on the Caribou trail until Taku Arm Is passed. One Is located at Ten-Mile point, ten miles from Caribou, and the other at quaw point. 80 miles farther on. On East arm there Is a roadhouae near Bell's point kept by the Butler brothers, and Ash ton's roadhouse Is still maintained at Taku portage. The provincial parliament has passed a bill or the making of a wagon road from Caribou to Atlln. , The road will follow the Dominion telegraph line around the north of Tagish lake to old Taghm nwft, at; thj banJwnd polw station where'- tewes river wil! b bridged, r then ..following yie shore btoundyl?sIjt art ty Taku, where It will connect with the portage railway. The residents of Atlln have hopes that the work will be. Initiated next summer, ' 5 Sto. Olson srfys there fc ho work be ing done on the ; mining properties In the vicinity of Taku arm excepting on the White Moose, 'opposite' the Etv glneer group. This property now be longs to residents of Atlln, who have kept two or three men contini'usly drifting for the past two years. They have lately struck a very nice quarts lode running In a different trend from the one for which they wre cross- cutting. , , The owners of the Redmond mine, who were piling up an ore dump for shipment all last summer, will resume work as soo nas navigation opens. This property was located by John Redmond In 1899, and was bonded to M. 3. Heney, E. C. lUwklns and other officers of the White Pass Railway Company during eoWnictfon jdayaThe; lode" appeared to be blanket; three teet thlckv dip ping out of the hill transversely from rh formation 'of the "country. A well eoaulpped pronpectlng camp was locat ed and a drift 45 feet long was driven on the body, when' to all appearances the ore pinched and the Claim was abandoned, after the bonder had re ceived 5000, and as much more had been expended In the exploitation. A year later four men with plenty of muscle, but without capital, recoraeo the claim. They caught the lode where It had been passed by the tunnel and followed It further. The blankeHike outcropping they found turned down in a manner that leads to the belief that the ImDact is a true Assure. . Aj their drifting was done on the ore, they were enabled to produce by bringing In a single pony hand stamp prospecting mill. In the washing It was observed tthat & black scum float ed off on the mater. Some of It was caught and sent out for assay. It was rich In gojd that could not be saved bv crude reduction. The Redmond claim Is located on the Bighorn, 10 miles up the stream from it. month Hale Cttv. Seven and A half tons of rock was packed down to the arm and shipped to the Tacoma smelter. On the showing of tnis smeu- r test a wagon, road was bunt from the'landlng to the claim. ConalderaWe local Interest centers In the Redmond claim on account of the plucky man ner In which Its owners have by the crudes methods met conditions with which only capitalists generally pre sume to cope. , . The Engineer Mining Company equipped Its property with machinery last summer and sank a working shaft 75 feet to within 35 feet of where H VALUABLE DOCUMENTS5 "ARE" 1 ' .

Letters have been received by the missionary society from Bishoo David H, Moore, of the Methodist Episcopal church, who has had charge of the work in eastern Asia. The bishop was a passenger from Shanghai to Chemulpo on the steamer Sungart. The latter was sunk by Russian warships the 4night after she departed from Chemulpo, Bishop Moore says he witnessed the fight Which ended in the destruction of the Varlag and KoHetz, and, with General Allen, was only a few hundred yards distant when the Korietx was blown uo. The bishop was expected to start home or the general conference, but as an old soldier says he does not like to leave the scene, at least not, until all the missionaries are out of the dan ger sozne. It is likely a1 suggestion that he remain in the far east will be telegraphed at once. Very Promising. Cut the Can and compare the quality of Economy . .

Chicago, March 17. The Railway Age tomorrow will say; The outlook for railway building In the United States Is not as promising as It was a year ago. There haa not been complete recovery from the check In new work which followed the dis turbance in the financial world last summer and, while a large amount of building has been planned, much of It Is being held up until financial condi tion are more favorable.

Trouble from the kidney secretions ex isted. At times I was greatly bloated, my feet swelled to twice their natural size and I was seldom without a plas ter on my back to ease the pain. I doctored a great deal and used more medicines than any ,one person could carry. I had read so much about Doan's Kidney, Pills that I concluded to give them a trial.
