Brought Back Pour Pareengere, Wltp-
m Quarter of Million Claims
Kleher Than Reported.
Vancouver, B. C, June 19. That
the gold field of Cape Nome are richer
and more productive than has yet been

claim, w orked by 20 men in tbe employ
of Jack Brady. S15.000 was taken out
in one week and tbe same claim panned
out $56,000 within a month. Aa an
earnest of Cape Nome's golden pro
ductiveness, tbe Alpha brought down
$250,000 in gold dust. There were
five passensers on board, and the dust
belonged to fonr of them, in the fol
lowing amounts: -
Jack Gill, of Seattle, $145,000; J. U.
Moneahan, of Denver, $40,000; Frank
Green, of Kansas City, $30,000; Glen
Tinsley. an old Dawson miner, who
went to Nome last year. $35,000.
Unusual interest baa followed the

sibility of international complications,

and Home not being a tub-port of en
by. But the akipper had no trouble
with the custom regulation. He
aailed from Vancouver on April 5,
clearing for St. Michael. He aaya he
waa so menaced with Icebergs as be
pprosched St. Michael that he pro
ceeded directly to Nome, landing 153
passengers and their aupplies on the
beach on May 25. and sailing for Van
couver on May 80.
The Alpha waa carried by the ice to
the Siberian coast, and for five days was
packed in the ice unable to move.
She finally made Nunivak island, where
he found tbe San Francisco whalers,
Alexander and Jeanette, with about
100 passengers each, also trying to
reach Nome. After spending three
days more in very heavy ice near 1'ri-
byloff islands, tbe Alpha finally made
Nome, whither the Alexander bad pre
ceded her two days. So. overjoyed
were tbe miners at tbe double arrival
of the Alexander and the Alpha that a
civic holiday was declared, and the
Canadian boat waa received with sa
lutes, all the custom regulations being
waived, although as ahe had cleared
from Vancouver for St. Michael tbe
discharge of her freight waa in direct
contradiction of the custom laws.
Nome waa rather dull during March
and April, work being entirely sus
pended on account of cold weather.
Several times duiinatthe winter the
settlement narrowly escaped total de
struction by fire. All the buildings
are said to be fliiuaey structures, and
no fire protection ia afforded.
The extent of the gold-producing area
ot Nome seems much greater than wa
at first supposed, and all over the ooun
try men are reported to be washing
from 15 to 25 cents to tbe pan in gold.
Golden Gate and Mascot creek are
turning out well. Topcock ia tbe big
gets find of the season, where it is con
sidered nothing remarkable for a miner
to make $30 a day on many of the
claims, although the gold is found in
intermittent streaks. It was on Top-
cock creek that $56,000 wa cleaned up
In 80 day a. Topcock is 15 miles from
the sea, and 60 miles south of onie.
One thousand people are working there
now, and there have been clean upa
from $25,000 to $50,000 on 100-foot
claim.

IS IT MALARIA OR ALUM?
Popular Selena Monthly.
Languor, loss of appetite, indiges
tion and often feveriabness are the com
mon symptom of a physiological con
dition termed "malaria." All these
symptoms may be and frequently are
the effect of tbe use of alum baking
powders in food making. There ia no
question about the poisonona effect of
alum upon the system. It obstructs
digestion, prostrates the nerves, coagu
lates and devitalize the blood. All
thia has been made clear, thanks to
physicians, board of health, and food
commissions. 80 ''highly injurious to
tbe health of the community" does the
eminent head of the University of
Pennsylvania, Dr. Barker, consider the
alum baking powders, that he aays
"their sale abould be prohibited by
law."
Under these circumstances it is
worth the while of every honsewife to
employ the very little care that is nec
essary to keep so dangerous an element
from the food of her family.
A pure cream of tartar baking pow
der, which is the only kind that should
be used, ought to cost about forty-five
to fifty cents a pound. Therefore, if
you are paying much less something ia
wrong; if you are paying twenty-five
cents 01 less per pound, the powder is
certainly made from alum. Always
bear these simple fact in mind when
purchasing baking powder.

BEATEN BY REPORTER.
Hew a Jfewopaper Man Retaliated fot
Inaulte From a Candidate.
A good story, and one with a moral,
is related by a well-known Southern
writer, says the Nev York Mail and
Express.
"No great statesman with good hard
horse sense ever went out of his way to
offend a newspaper man," h say.
"Some year ago there wa a very hot
campaign in Georgia for a big office.
"In a distant city lived a candidate
who waa confident ot election. He
waa proud and haughty, and thought
only of himself.
"A young newspaper man was de
tailed by the managing editor to ac
company the statesman and report hia
speeches.
"Now comes the funny part of the
atory. The statesman ignored bis com
panion left him to take care of him
selfintroduced him to nobody treat
ed him without any consideration.
"Once when they were riding in a
buggy through the country they stop
ped at a spring. The statesman cooled
a bottle of wine in the spring and dsank
it all, without offering the journalist a
drop.
"Then he helped himselt to a oigar
from tbe valise, and resumed hia seat
in the bnggy.
" 'Drive onl'he said.
"Tbe newspaper man hated and de
spised tbe cold-blooded politician, but
he had his work to do. -
"He reported the tpeeches and cam
paign incidents, but in a quiet way be
knifed the statesman. The big man
read the reports.and waa oonsoious that
something wa lacking, but he could
not tell what.
"The newspaper man simply stuck
to the faots and damned the candidate
with taint praise. He left out the ele
ment of enthusiasm. He waa dull.and
deliberately to.
"Tbe candidate waa defeated, and he
never knew bow much the newspaper
man had to do with it.
"Of course he did not dream that his
own conduct had injured him. No
mean man ever make th discovery
that he i mean."
Opportunity of Trouble.
The testa of life are to make, not
break u. Trouble may demolish a
man' business but build up hia char
acter. Tbe blow at the outward man
may be the greatest blessing to the in
ner man. If God. then, puta or per
mits anything bard in our Uvea, be sure
that the real peril, the real trouble, ia
what we shall lose if we flinch or rebel.

Fro.perlty Hard to Bear.
There ia one bard thing to bear in
thia world, and that ia prosperity. The
fact that we do not feel it as a burden
doea not affeot the truth that it ia hard
to carry it and yet stand upright. To
be honest, generous, considerate, fair,
magnanimous, in "prosperity" ah I
that Is not easy. Yet this ia what it
means to stand upright. Under world
ly prosperity one ia in great danger of
getting spiritually stoop-shouldered
and weak-kneed. Pray tor the proa,
