Daring the ten months of the current fiscal year ending with April =,
our exports were $185,948,857 greater
value than in the corresponding
months a year ago. 2
In April we exported $43,459,765 more
than ‘we imported, and we exported
$30,130,000 more of American products
and manufactures than in April, 1899.
Expansion still continues.
Representative Fitzgerald, of Boston
will find it difficult to explain to the
shipbuilders of his district what interest
they have in the purchase of ships
built in Great Britain, which is the
plan by which he would build up the
American merchant marine in the
foreign trade. "
While interested in watching the
contest between the two German steamship lines as to which shall build the
biggest and the fastest steamship for
thelr trade with the United States, the
American people should not forget that
they are paying the bills. If we did
our duty to our country we would be
building those ships in the United
States, and manning them’ with-our
own citizens, as the shipping bill, still
unacted upon in Congress provides.
At last the truth is out. K private
letter fzom Porto Rico says that everybody. there is pleased with the new
tariff except one man, That man is
the British consul at San Juan, Mr.
Finley, who had bought up all the
sugar. and. tobacco in sight, anticipating its free entry into the United States
No wonder the Democrats in Congress
were so anxious fora free trade with
Porto Rico! They were up to their old
tricks of trying to fling the benefits of
the American market into the laps of
the British, just. as they did by the
Wilson bill.

CAPE NOMBRUSH:
From Forty to Fifty Thousand People
Going There.
The rash of gold seekers to the new
Eldorado, Cape Nome, Alaska, has
commenced, and estimates of the number of persons willbe camped upon
that bleak strip of Behring Sea beach
before the brief Arctic sammer of 1900
is over vary from forty to fifty thousand. They will gather from nearly all
over the civilized world, though chiefly
from American, and some will be
miners of ex bat most of them
will be “tenderfeet”; and the necessary
hardships which both classes must
undergo in their search for gold will be
many, but the unnecessary hardships
which the “greenhorns”. will invite’ by
reason of their “greenness” would be
materially. lessened if before setting
out they would take time to study: a
pamphlet just issued by the Depart-/
menfé of the Interior.
“This pamphlet contains a primary
report on the Cape. Nome gold region
by Frank C. Schrader’and “H. Brooks,
assistant geologists on the staff of the
United States Geological Survey.Its
value is enhanced by maps and illustrations, the whole being based upon
personal observations by these geologists in a brief visit to that region last
October. *It ‘answers many ofthe
puzzling questions which almost every
intending prospector asks before he
sets out, and many which he might
not be wise enough to ask before it
was to late for the answers to do him
any good.
One of the first queries likely to
crop up in the mind of a man eager to
dig his fortane out of the Oape Nome
earth is, “Will there be any claims left
by the time I get there, or will I find
all the gold bearing lands already
taken up?” To such the report says
that nearly all the gold so far taken
out of Cape Nome has been found in,
placers on gulches, bars, benches and
on the beach, froma point abont a
mile east of the town westward for
some.ten or fifteen miles. No claims
were allowed to be staked out last
year-within a stip of ground running
along the beach sixty feet in width and
measured from high tide limit. Within this reserved area all had a equal
right to dig and .wash gravel. About
last summer, and took out about $1,000,000 in gold. A large number of
men find room for their activities on
this strip of beach this summer if it
continues tobe withheld from private
ownership; ‘but even then it should be
remembered that beach placers are not
inexhaustible and the gold bearing
gravel does not occur in paying quantities in one continuous streak along
this fifteen miles of beach. The line is
broken and erratic; rich here, moderate
there and wortbless.in another spot
close by. © Sk
Just back of this unstaked strip of sea
beach the newcomer will find all the
known gold bearing land—the gulch,
river, Greek, bar and bench placers—
claimed; but while the staking of new
placer claims in the Nome beactrregion
is probably nearly a thing of the past,
those having capital to invest will no
doubt find plenty of claims for sale.
“Those who lack knowledge of mining
matters” says the report, “should invest their money very cauticusly, for
there isa vast army of speculators at
Nome, who endured the rigors of the
Arctic winter there just on purpose to
be ready to ‘unload’ when~the first
steamer load of ‘tenderfeet’ arrives. It
would be very wise for all inexperienced newcomers to put by enough
money for the return passage.”
This statement of the case would
seem rather discouraging, especially to
those who have no capital to invest,
but want to stake out new claims for
themselves. The report, however,
gives these people some ground for

hope when it comes to speak of the
region lying farther inland'from the
‘beach. The beach rises gradually to
a sharply. cut bench a hundred or two
handred yatds from the surf.~ From
the edge of this terrace which is about
twenty feet high, a moss covered tundra extends inland, rising’ about two
hundred feet in four or five miles, when
it merges into the highland belt.. Itis
the: opinion that gold underlies this
tundra, but whether in commercial
quantity or not can only be ascertained
by sinking shafts; these, -of-course,
must be deeper than the little ones
which suffice to bear the gold bearing
gravel under the sandy beach. :
Again the experts. declare this gold
which is found on the beach, has not
been washed up. from the sea, as has
often been declared, but'has most certainly come from the rocky hills in the
interior. On this point the report
says: ‘
No bed rock mining has yet been
done. Our theories lead us to believe
that the higher benches and_territories are worthy of investigation by prospectors. There is at least a possibility
that workable mineral veins. will eventually be found. Should subsequent
developments show that the gold said
to be discovered in several other districts of the Seward Peninsuls is de-:
rived from the same series of rocks,
this gold mining region will embrace
an area of at least five thousand or six
tuousand square miles. :
Surely there would be room enough
and to spare in that area for all miners
who might care to try their luck for
luck would still be a large factor, because it would not by any means follow that the entire peninsula, of which
Cape Nome is a small part, would contain workable deposits of gold, but gold
might rather be expected to be confined
to certain zones extending throughout
that area, ,
‘atin:
Too Muchee High.
The sewer-pipe which. was laid high
up on the embankment of Deer Creek,
below the Broad street bridge, won’t
work in that position. . Instead of the
water, refase, etc, running down the
creek, it was found to be coming back
to town to fillup any old ‘hole it came
across. In“order to checkmate any
farther proceedifigs in that line a gang
of men are now at work in bringing the
pipe down on a grade where the stuff
will be forced to run downwards instead of upwards.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way tocure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When the tube gets
inflamed you have arumbling sound
or inperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine ~ cases out of
ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
Wewill give One Hundred Dollars

catarrh) that can not becured by
