Prof. Dall, of the United States Coast Survey, who has traversed much of the United States gold country and speaks with professional knowledge, i. a “For those who may conte:oplate invest- “ing in permanent works, such as roads “acro-s the portages, a warning is in order. . “The average lite of the placer district of “the Northwest Territory has been about “three years. The gold-beariug streams “being narrow, their pay streak is eoon “worked out, though fora time it pro- ‘duces abundantly. These considerations “should not ve neglected in weighing the “possible profits to be derived from con— “structions of a@ permanent nature in a “region dependent solely upon its miner.” Three years, it will be confessed, is a very short life for a go'dfield; but, remem- bering the history of otber diggings, it may represent the full period of its wealth giving. so far asthe work of individvals with pick and pan is concerned. Dr. Dawson, the head of the Geological Sur- vey, has, however, pointed out that the greatest wealth of the district may come, not from the placer operations, but from quartz mining. Dr. Dawson has expressed the view that there is gold-bearing quartz not far from the scene of the placer operations. The gold found in the river beds is in nuggets, or larze coarse grains, and is rough, sometimes having bits of its original quartz rock still at- tached to it. Comparatively little of the gold is fiae or “ flour ” gold, as it is called, such a+ can only be recovered by the use of quicksilver, The movement of this “ heavy” gold is necessarily slow, and it would not be carried yery far from its natura! matrix of quartz, while its rough condition indicates that it was not exposed to the action of water for any great length of time betore being deposited where it has now been found. Itis not at all likely that the gold tound in the Klondyke and its tributaries has been carried more than a few milvs from its natural matrix, and the wountains back of the creeks running into thatriver are the most likely places in whiich to seareh for the quartz veins from which the gold mustcome. Should this theory prove correct, and there will certainly be a great deal of prospecting done_to test it, the K'ondike may yield a gold supply for many years, and, in spite of the rigors of its climate, be the seat of a considerable industrious population. 2+6<-s vororo paper in the Forum, says; Says the Montreal Gazette:—An impu- dent attempt is being made by Libealr newspapers to make the late Conservative Government responsible for the deficit of half a million forthe year ending 30th June last. It is eaidin the Herald and the G.obe that the Laurier Government was ouly responsible forten anda half months of the twelve. The Lautier Gov- ernment.was responsible for every month of the year. The financial year begins on the Istof July. When it began in 1896 sumer Were DO supplies grented, and the Conservative Government could have spent po money even if it desired to. It held office for seven days of the year. Sir Wilfrid Laurier became premier on the 8th of July, and the first money spent for the administrative services was on the author- ity of the Governor-General’s warrants which he advised issue of. From the 8th of July the Liberal minisiers were respon- sible for all the expenditure’and all tke deficit. The assertion that the Conser- vative ministers, who went out on the first day of the second week of July, con- trolled the expenditure tothe middle of August, made by 89 many Government papers at once, can only be calleda concerted, cowardly and impertinent attempt io relieve a discredited ministry of its just responsibility for failure to redeem the pledges made by its members in Opposition. It is simply the promulgation of a deliberately conceived lie. Ricuisvero, N.

It's a fact, too—-nt least no one has come forward with his own head to disprove the claim When Fitzgerald was a common policeman, none of the Lawrenceville tonghs ever thought of hitting him on the head when resisting arrest. They always sought a vital spet. There is only one head splitting weapon that heeyer dodged, and that was some years ago, when a no- torious bad man who hung out at Four- teenth street and Penn avenue aimed a blow at him with a baseball bat. Fitz- ducked on that occasion and butted his opponer nsensibility. Che other nightu policeman walked inte headquarters and preduced a new hand billy, the finest, he said, ever made. Fitz- gerald reached for it, rapped it on the top uf his head five times, burst the leather knob and sent the shot with which it was loaded flying all over the room. Three other policemen, who declared that it was a put up job and that the weapcn had been doctored, had to buy new hand bil- lies, for Fitzgerald took every one as fast as presented and broke them on his skull. Matt Weiss, a Smithfield street saloon keeper noted for his hard head, became jealous some time ago of Fitzgerald’s rep- utation and challenged him toa head test- ing match. The two men grasped each other by the wrists and indulged in a but- ting set to. For a minute or two there was a sound as of a husky woodman cut- ting down heavy timber, and Weiss keeled over, vanquished. It’s remarkable, too, that both men are of gentle disposition. Their skulls, though hard, are packed with gray matter, as their success in their occu- pations proves. Matt Weiss has become rich keeping a saloon, and Fitzgerald is considered one of the most intelligent de- tectives on the force.-— Pittsburg Letter in New York Sun. +3 geraida t into It is altogether admirable when a man, by dint of sheer will, wrings a for- tune from niggardly ‘or The worl is full yo of instances wiere men have done tkis, but never in “w& history was this accomplished ib by a weak and unhealthy man. lil-health not only weakens every physical function but ev- ery mental fac- ulty and every moral quality.

The blood is the life-stream. When it is full of foul poisons, it carries and deposits them in every organ and tis- sue of the body.

BY A BANKER. Itis a wel!—known tact that if the forests are cut down and every tree felled over a considrable track of country, the rainfall in that district is very material y dimin- ished, and if, from any cauee, vot only the trees and shrubs, but alsu all herbage and’ Other vegetation are destroyed, the rain fal! practically ceases, and An arid desert re- sults. Examples of this may be+een in the Libyan Desert, the Sahara, and other rainless districts. Although the evaporation from the ocean is of course a great source of rain, yet the tran-portation of vegetation must furuish a very high propurtion of the annual rain tall, eapecially in the inland districts of large continents. In order to form some idea of the amount of water transpired by vegetation, itis only necessary to observe the grass on ap autumnal morning after a clear aud cloudiess night, when it is found to be completely loaded with moisture, many blades perhaps supporting a quantity of water «qual to their own; weight. It is generaliy supposed that this *dew” is distilled from the atmosphere this, however, appears to be an aliogetber erroneous supposition for experiment has proved thatthe water resting upon the leaves Las been transpired through the pores in the invisiable vapour, which under the infl €.ce of the dry cola early worning air, bas veen condensed inio water, which agaip, as the air becomes warmer, is ab- sorbed by the atmosphere, to be once more precipitated to the earth in the form of rain. In order to prove the correciness of this theory it is only necessary to place a sheet of lead around the stem of a plant, hermetically fixing a bel! glass over it; it wiil be found that not only the leaves of the plant, butalso the lead and the interior of the glass are covered with a copious supply of water. A sunflower treated in this way has been found to transpire in twenty four hours no less than twenty ounces of water, while the famous weeping tree of the Canary Islands, joes alpinia pluviasa, is said to discharge sufficient water to form quite a pool beneath it. The statement that the inhabitants in the vincinity provided themselves with water from this source is, however, probably an exaggeration. The amount of water and nutrimeat ab- sorbed and assimilated by piants is as- toundicg. For instance, a single gigantic orange tree at St. Michael’s is siated to have produced in ove season 2,900 oranges, in addition to vast numbers of leaves and branches ; a single potato has been known to produce sixty-eight pounds weight in a few months, whils. inth ane short time a diminutive mangold peed extracts from the earth aud air sufficient water, carbon, nitrogen, and otherchem cal constitutents, to form an enormous bulk of nutritive cattle-food. Surely none but an omniscient Creator could have invented euch marvellous and diversified apparatus for extracting and assimilating the nutrient properties of the earth ; one transforming them into a mag- nificent and stately Wellingtonian, which year after year continues to draw out more and more nourishment, enabling it to climb bigher and higher towards the clouds, uatil, under favourable ¢ onditions, after a life of 1500 or 1600 yeara it has reached the height of 400 feet or more; another moulding, those same particles into the perfumed and handsome r.s-; another transforming them into the golden grain which formsthe ind.epensable steff of life; while yet another metamorphoses them into that strange aod gigantic flower the Raffi-sia Arnoldi, its @ircum ference ten feet, and the central | depression, whence the lobes emanate, sufficiently capacious to hold a d« ze, pints of fluid. And yet that Omnipotent Being who greated al} there wonders is willing to be the Friend of every child of man who will but do His will and eomply with His cotmtnandinénts, as set out in Hie Word. Andtruly those who have the Omnipotent Creator as their friend raust be better off than those who are at enmity. with Him, or who care not whether they please Him or whether they do not.

JOY VicToRIA CAFE Gt George St...-. peas The Land of Golden nuggets OSEPH LADUE, Saeciekd erent Sak ce ‘cm His book reads like “ The Arabian Nights” BUT Joseph Ladue KNOWS whereof be writes. He was the first man on the spot when the first gold was discovere ' last August, 1896, He located one rich claim, and immediately purchased twelve others at a low price before their value was known. He has refused $100,000 for any ONE of these claims, as they are rich with virgin gold nuggets beyond the dreams of avarice. Joseph Ladue then | Established Dawson City, lat the mouth of the Klondyke and Yukon Rivers, by erecting ' the first house in the region in September, one month after the gold was first discovered. He bought 178 »cres from the | government on the city site where his town lots, 150x50, me now selling for $5,000 each. Mr. Ladue was fortunate enough to be successful in his trading post investments to have on hand ample capital to carry out his plans. and there is no man living who is better posted on Alaska and the great North West Territories than Mr. Joseph Ladue. He has just returned from that country to his. old home in Schuyler Falls, N. Y., where he passd a large portion of his boyhood and early manhood. Mr. Ladue left. his home nearly twenty years ago to seek his tortune in the West, going first to the Black Hills, where he was successful in gold mining, thence to Arizona and the Pacific Coast, and finally located in Alaska and the North West, where he has covered almost the entire country since 1852. Mr. Ladue is a typical pioneer; strong, hardy ana resoluve—a man of iron as one must needs to be to go through the hardships he has and come out with a constitution unbroken and unimpaired at the age of about forty-three. Mr. Ladue has not only worked his muscies to good advantage to himself with the result of an abundance of the world’s goods far beyond the dreams of men, but he has evidently all his time been closely observing the conditions of that strange country—the Yukon Valley— which has so suddenly become one cf the great centres upon which human interest throughout the world is focussed. When the wonderful stories began to come down trom the Yukon country it was naturally concluded that it was at least half exaggeration. That any such amount o1 gold could be taken in so short a time from a country like that under the most unfavorable conditions was held to be incredible. But when the great bags of virgin’ gold began to be poured out upon mint counters in San Francisco under the eyes of the whole world (for modern journalism dves this, annihilating time and spece), people began to wonder, and the wonder grew day by day as the real facts were disclosed, and now people who are well informed as to the facts declare that half the truth has not been told of the golden treasures of the Yukon Valley. Aa we have already said, there is no man alive to-day who knows more about this wonderful country than does Mr. Ladue. What makes his talk of it especially interesting and reliable is the fact that his knowledge of it is practical. It has not been gained from hearsay nor from desolutory visits made now and then at certain favorable seasons of the year, but from steady living there through the long summer days and the long winter nights year in and year out for 15 years, where he now owns the best min ng claims on the Klondyke aud its tributa~ies: In presenting his book to the public we do so knowing that it is by an authority on the subject of which he writes.
