haft," a device to be attached to car
riages to save life in case of runaways
or similar accidents, by releasing the
horse fiom the carriage. The inven
tion, which is to be put on the market
at once, is primarily due to the death
of the late Countess of Lathom, which
filled Sir Arthur with a desire to pre

Captain Dwlght Hunt, with two
companions, lias bevn in Haines this
week, outfitting for a piospwoting tour
in the Porcupine mining district, says
the Porcupine Quill. Captain Kant
and party represent an uxtensivo com
pany, known as the Jack Crawford
(poet and scout) party that went to
the Hootalinqua last season over the
Dyea route, equipped with dredgers,
and who have been unsuccessful in the
Yukon and ate trying the present sea
son to retrieve their ill luck by operat
ing in the Atlin and Forty-Mile dig
gings in the Ynkou. Atttaoted by fa-'
voiable reports from the Porcupine dis
trict, the mannger of the company,
Henry M. Wallace, prominent lawyer
f Ann Arbor, Mich., placed detail
of opeiators under charge of Captain
Hunt, who is an experienced prospec
tor, and sent them here to prosecute
intelligent examination of the quarts
and placer claims in American Alaska
in this vicinity. They are also going
to give special examination of the hy
draulio propositions which are reported,
favorable. In event they are success-1
fal in their search they will bring in a
large outfit this season of modern by
dianlio machinery and permanently
establish the headquarters of the com
pany which have large capital at
their control nnder the Stats and
Stripes, and abandon the Northwest
Territory propositions, where they are
sorely handicapped by unjust discrim
inations and exactions. The party will
be ready to start early next week, and
re now getting their boats and outfit!
over the trail to the Chilcat liver.
Excftoraant Runs High.
Mr. Cole, the mail agent (or Porcu
pine City, brought down on his last
tiip a small pile of gold dust taken
from claim No. 1 above Discovery, on
Porcupine creek. It was the partial
output of the first washout by the nss
of a sluicebox on that olaim, and was
sold to S. Weitzinan for $35. Mr. Cols
aaya the miners on McKinley and Por
cupine creeks are just beginning to
take ont gold, and the field soon will
astonish the nations. The water ii
quite high, and only the elevated rim
rock can be worked, but as the work
progresses the claims are growing rich
er, excitement is running high and
daily arrivals of prospectors are large.
A Stampada Kxpactad.
Since the arrival of samples of coarse
gold from the placer mines on the Por
cupine and McKinley diggings, the
mists of doubt that have been thrown
over that district by the "ginbstakers"
who have done no active work except
to hang around the camp, "waiting
foi something to turn np," have disap
peared, and a feeling of confidence es
tablished. In fact, nothing bnt ths
best of reports are being brought
daily, and if developments continue at
they are now going on there will be a
genuine stampede inside of six weeks
Larga Cannery Deatroyad.
Mr. D. J. Mnnn's cannery on Sea
island, B. C. was completely destroyed
by fire. The cannery was one of the
largest on the North Arm, and general
ly had the largest pack for that branch
f the river. The cannery was fully
equipped with everything necessary for
the season's work and all the nets were
hanging in readiness to be taken out
for the sockeye run. The loss on the
cannery, stock of cans, machinery,
etc., is estimated at f 66,000, on which
there was only $45,000 insurance.
B track a Quarts Led (a.
William Eetinghousen, of California,
who haa been prospecting along the
Chilcat river tor the past four months,
struck a. ledge of quartz about foui
miles from Haines. His discovery
covers a ledge five feet between walls,
and evidently carries a large per cent
of copper and gold. Mr. Estinghonsen
has followed mining for several yean
in Alaska and California, and is satis
fied that bis discovery possesses great
wealth and will take immediate steps
to develop it.
Mow Alaska City.
Jim McCloskey, of the Arctic, hai
returned from the Ketchikan mining
district, which be reports as a promis
ing district. "Ketchikan," says Jim,
"is going to be quite a city, as it al
ready baa one large store and about 40
bouses. The townsite is being surveyed
and the prospectors are flocking in by
the dozens. .One noticeable feature ol
the district Is the copper-stained ore,
nearly every sanmle coming from that
district being literally covered witb
the stain."
Great Racing Kvant.
Saturday, Jnly 1, the trotting and
running races commence at the Irving
ton track, Portland, and will continue
nntil Juiy 8. Judging by the horset
that have already been entered for the
different events. It ought to prove a
success in eveiy way. Opening day,
ladies will be admitted to tlio track
and grandstand free of charge. On all
other days 25 cents admission will bs
charged. This includes a seat in the
grandstand. The admission fee for
gentlemen on all racing days, includ
ing grandstand, will be 60 cents.
Good racing and popular prices will
undoubtedly prove great drawing cards
Peacock Copper Proipect.
Mr. Sheldon brought to Haines' Mis
sion several fine specimens of quartz
taken from a ledge near town. The
specimens were highly crystallized
with peacock copper and other mineral
whichr resembled gold. The specimens
attracted a great deal of attention and
favorable comment from experts. The
vein his samples were taken from is
about eight inches in width, with good
prospects of growing wider as be pro
ceeds with development work.
Death la tha Kaplde.
Tha Klondike rush of 1899 lias al

ed. Frank Kane, hotel man, of Doug
las Island, and Charles Mordt, of the
Hotel Lindemann, Dyea trail, while
trying to cioes Bennett in a Peterboro
canoe, were capsized and drowned.
Fresh Meat Famine.
A fresh meat famine existed at
Haines the front end of last week. A
like condition of affairs m the market
is reported as existing at Hkugway by
reason of the nonarrival of expected
beef cattle.

Milt Destroyed by Fire.
Ifynmrn fliAnmill at nonAHM.
Idaho, has been dostoyed by fire, which
ia annnosed to have been started In the
engine-room. At the time of the fire
some four or five tons of chopped feed
was on hand. The 14 horse power gas
oline engine, valued at $1,100, will not
be a total loss, as it is believed with a
few extras it can be placed in running
ordei again. The insuiance was or.lr
$1,000, which will nowhere near cover
the loss.
Cannery to Ue Erected.
George W. Sanborn has purchased
200 feet of water fiont property on the
west side of the Seaside cannery, and

A Boy's Love,
ItS. CAItltTJTHERS flushed
slightly ns she read the name
oil tho iwstoboard. "I will see
blra hero, Jane," aho said, with studied
enhnuesa, "nud remember, pleas, that
I am not at home to any one for the
next hour."
She nestled down on her settee, pil
lowing tho shimmering gold of ber
head against Its cushions, and waited.
She was glad ho bud come. Her
thoughta traveled btick to tholr first
meeting that day on tho front at
Brighton, and aho smiled aa she re
called the gust of wind that caught her
handkerchief, a scented scrap of lace
and cambric, and carried It fluttering to
bla feet He wus young, a more boy
In fact, and singularly haudsome, and
ho actually blushed aa be restored the
trifle. There was something frank and
fresh about him few of her men
friends ever blushed and her tenden
cies were sufficiently Bohemian to ren
der more formal Introduction unneces
sary; before the week was out be bad
lunched aud dined at ber hotel. Time
had flown for ber since then; bright
surumer days spent drifting among the
upper reaches of the Thames, with the
heat of the afternoon lazed away In
some shady backwater; morning drives
to some old-world retreat among the
Surrey bills; afternoons on the lawns
at Hurlinguaui, strolling, talking, tea
drinking among the smartest In the
land, with the band of the Guards
crashing out the masterpiece of great
German composers. Interspersed with
melodies from the Casino. They bad
been friends, notblug more, but each
day had brought a fresh delight, and
she bad been happy. Now It was to
end; he had come to say, "Good-by."
"It seems almost like a dream," she
murmured; "I wonder what I shall do
without him 7" .
Tbe hangings swayed aside, and the
boy advanced with outstretched band.
She smiled and gave him hers without
rising.
"Sit down," she said, "and have some
coffee, unless you prefer something
atronger."
"Coffee, thanks," ho answered, drop
ping Into a chair beside ber.
She poured some out and handed It
to him, together with a tiny box of
tortoise-shell and silver. lie laughed
softly as be opened It and saw a row
of miniature cigarettes.
"Ah! so you Indulge, It appears. How
often?"
"Oh, sometimes!"
"And I haven't known It until this
moment! Will yon Join me nowj"
offerlng the case.
"No, thank you; I prefer to see yon
smoke. There Is a match beside you."
Ue lit one of the cigarettes and puffed
away In silence, until a blue haze had
gathered about bis bead. Then be look
ed acrosa at her. "I am going abroad,"
he said, abruptly. "Are you sur
prised?" "Assuming that you mean some hor
rible tropic" he nodded "yes, I am.
I suppose It means the loss of every
thing that has made your life pleasant
In tbe past yes? and tbe gain of
what?"
"Nothing."
"Then why go?"
She leaned back, clasping her hands
behind ber bead, and ber sleeves, fall
ing, disclosed arms as smooth and
white as ivory. Tbelr glances met and
she asked again, "Why go?"
"Because I have no choice," he an
swered. "Look here, Madge, we've
been friends. Jolly good frlenda, and
God only knows how I shall get on
without you; I will be perfectly frank,
and tell you just how It stands. My
father, as you know, was a country
parson. He ought never to have put
me through Sandhurst; It was beyond
bis means I often wondered bow be
managed to do all be did, but I really
knew nothing of his affairs until his
death last year. I found out then that
be never did have much beyond bis
pride, and It appeared that towards tbe
end be had dabbled In stocks and
shares. Well, you know what happens
when parsons walk Into bucket-shops;
there was barely enough left to keep
the young one at Sandhurst. That Is
why I am exchanging for the West
Indies." He looked up thoughtfully at
tbe smoke cloud wreathing from his
cigarette. "Of course I shall see some
thing of life. I have seen little so far;
school, Sandhurst, an outlandish depot
In the west of Ireland, and town."
"Do you want to go?"
"One cannot always do what one
wants." ,
She shrugged ber shoulders beneath
the billowy lore and muslin of ber deml
tollette, and there was another pause.
"How strange it will seem when you
bave gone I shall feel quite lost by
myself." She spoke softly, In a tone
almost of soliloquy,- watching hhn
closely to see the effect of her words.
He made no reply, and she went on,
"When one has so few friends, It Is
bard to lose them tbe places are so
bard to fill." He winced at that, and a
meuientary gleam flashed In ber eyes.
"It will seem strange," she repeated;
"I wonder If you will ever think of mo
often, I mean?"
"I hope not," be replied; "I want to
forget you."
That was all she wanted; tbe simple
directness of the answer conveyed
more to her than any outburst of pas
sion could have done. The rest was
MS. '
After awhile he rose to his foet. Slit
rose, too, aud stood before htm, looking
lu to his eyes as though she would read
his soul. A wild desire to crush her In
his arms took possession of him, and
the fiiigor-nalh bit Into the palms of his
clenched hands.
"Must you go?" she whispered, draw
ing nearer to hhn.
"I have no choice," he said, again.
"You want money," she coutluued;
"well, I am rich."
He did Dot reply.
"Would you do something for me?"
"Yea," be said, simply; "I would give
my llfo for you." .
Hor eyes dropped, and a delicious
color crept Into her cheeks.
"Well, before you go, do ma a favor.
Marry me."

TRAOINQ SUICIDE.
Believed that TJnanltubla Diet Has an
Injurious K fleet.
Dr. nalg la of the opinion that sui
cide may be traced to error In diet, the
error being the eating of meat, the
drluklng of beer and of tea aud the
smoklug of tobacco. Ills fuels all full
comfortably luto their places In sup
port of his hypothesis. Are there not
more suicides among men than among
women, aud do not men consume more
meat, more beer and more tobacco than
the women? Again, suicide la more
common In England than in Scotland,
not apparently because the Scotch are
a more canny race, but becauso the
English eat more meat and drink more
beer, while the Scotch eat less meat
aud drink whisky Instead of beer. Af
ter maintaining that sulcldo was loss
common among the Scotch, It was per
haps hardly polite, when addressing
a Scotch audience, to go on to say that
auk-hie Increased with civilisation. But
the fact was explained on the ground
of more Injurious diet, that of civilised
man being more productive of uric
acid and thus of sulcldo than that
which prevails where civilization la
less advanced. Uric acid Is, In fnct, at
the bottom of all this, and, according
to Dr. Halg, the lncldonce of sulcldo
tallies with the dally, annual and life
fluctuations of uric add In the blood,
being commonest when uric acid Is
most abundant, namely, In tbe morn
ings, In spring and summer and In
childhood and the full prime of llfo.
We have uo doubt that errors of diet
are responsible for much, and, among
other things, for a certain number of
suicides; nay, we could go further and
admit that unsuitable diet, derange
ment of tbe proper relation between
nutrition and wasto and tbe conse
quent loading of the tissues and tbe
blood with abnormal products of meta
bolism bave much to do with that lit
temper and discontent which lead men
to lay their bands violently upon their
neighbors and sometimes on them
selves. All this may be taken for
granted, but it Is at present far from
proved that tho peccant material Is In
all cases the same, and still further
are we from being agreed that uric
acid Is tbe origin of the evil. Hospital
Giants of Patagonia.
Tbe tribes to tbe cast of the Cordil
leras, In southern Patagonia, belong to

themselves of southern and eastern

a fact that they are the tallest human
beings In the world, the men averaging
but slightly less than six feet, while
Individuals of four to six Inches above
that mark are not uncommou. They
are in reality by no means savages,
but somewhat civilized barbarians.
They are almost unacquainted with the
use of firearms, notwithstanding some
contact with the whites, but they have
plenty of horses and dogs.
Unsurpassed hunters, tbey capture
the guanaco and the rhea, or South
American ostrich, and from the skins
of these and other animals they make
clothes and coverings for their tents.
Tbey make beautiful "capes," or man
tics, of furs and feathers which are
highly prized by Europeans, and find a
ready market most of the proceeds
being spent for bad whliiky, which Is
brought Into the country In quantities.
