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. Brief Mention.

Dick. erman, the druggist, : if . two thousand men worked in this strip 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 You ought Just to See The Low Pricés ° Weare Selling KAimoges French China Just Come to Look.

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. —_—————___~+-e@e->— Heard From.
