A Bri f Outline of the Country’ Where There is a Rush. A glance at the map will show that Cape Nome is a point on the eastern shore of Bebring Sea, or the Western coast of Alaska, abont:2,680 miles in a direct line northwest of San Francisco. “The particular part of Alaska on which the now gold fields are situated is the southern promontory of a large peninsila séparating Behring Sea from the Artic Ocean. The Cape is forty miles north of the 64th parallel of latitude, and within 150 miles of the Artic Circle. By steamer route it is nearly 2,700 miles from Seattle, which is the starting point of the majority of goldseekers. The geographical position of the new region makes it sterile and barren in the extreme. The promontory is drear and treeless, cold, biting Winds sweep its sandy stretches, and during many months‘ of the year itis locked in ice and exposed to the rigors of an Artic winter. .The summer is short, chill, and wet, and in this period myriads of mosquitoes render life almost intolerable. There is no vegetation except .a green and gray colored moss, peculiat to the Artic, which grows everywhere almost from the water’s edge back through the hills and ravines. It is called tundra, and is three feet thick in some places and exceedingly tough. The gold-washing district extends along the base and sides of'a range of hills or promontories that. skirt the southern side of Cape Nome, and also for miles up and down the sandy beach. 1t is this latter that has made Nome famous throughout the world, In the experience of all the old-time goldminers nothing like it has ever before been discovered. The town of Nome extends a mile or 80.along the beach. There are no piers and everything and everybody arriving by ship must be landed in lighters.: In appearance the place is like the average mining camp. The winding lane like thoroughfares and flanked by rude and hastily constructed buildings of rough pine boards, canvas houses, dirty weather-beaten tents, and cabins built in the most primitive way, with rusty, battered stovepipes sticking at all angles through side walls and roof.’ A score of cheap saloons, half as‘many gam bling-hells, five or six dance-places, and a very crude apology for a hotel, constitute the principal buildings. Prices are high, and will continue to be so for many months to come, Last October coal sold quickly at $70 a ton, and wood for building purposes was scarce at $250 the thousand feet. Articles of clothing such as rubber boots, which are absolutely necessary in the work, sell for many times their value. Provisions are equally dear. The housekeeper in Nome City pays during the winter season one dollar for a pound of sugar. A little marketing at the store means a long purse, with ordinary fresh beef worth $1.60 a pound, flour fifty cents a pound, and small hams $10 and $12 each. The boarding house proprietors of whom there are a few, doa thriving business, and manage to make a little money by charging $8 for a rude, home-cooked breakfast or dinner. On some of the shanties and even tents crudely painted signs testify that lodgings can be found within. The wayfarer, on entering, learns that he can have a cot without blankets for $1 a night, buat if he desires covering he must double the amount. In the hotel the lowest price is $10 for a six-by-nine room. Beer is valued at fifty cents a glass, and very rank whisky costs $8 a bottle. The value of real estate affords one of the most astonishing comparisons. In the latter part: of, 1897 the whole promontory, if put up, would not have found a purchaser at $100; but less than two years later an ordinary-sized building lot in one little spot had reached a value of $1,000, and ‘twice that amount if it carried with it any kind of a wooden shanty. On Anvil street in this new town one rough board building, with the ground on which it: stood, was sold for. $3,500. Nome is an organized city, with a Mayor anda Council. There is a City Marshal, but, strange to say, his duties are light. Unlike the mining towns of the Western States, this Alaskan prototype is decidedly orderly. The rig-. orous climate and the hard labor of gold-mining renders every one too tired for deviltry. The chill, damp winds and the pestering mosquitoes of the summer months keep the streets deserted at night,and during the winter the almost daily biizzards, aided by a temperature 50 degrees below zero, have a like effect. The health record of the town is vot of the highest; Malarial fevers pre-. . vail because of unsanitary conditions, and on several occasions typhoid has made its appearance. This is due to the bad state of the water, and to the fact that for miles around the land is fow and marshy. The isolated territory in which Nome js situated forms one of its greatest drawbacks. During eight months of the year it is practically cut off from the rest of the world. ee = Foresters of America. The members of Court Garfield, F. of A., had a grand time last evening at the conclusion of their lodge business, in honor of the return of their delegates from the Grand Oourt. There was a collation served and Wm. Sandow acted as toast master. The following program was rendered: 3h Overture by the Court’s orchestra, H. L. Sweéney, A. C, Renfree and D. A. Dailey; song, W. J.

A Question of Interest to All Careful Parsons, The arguments on food are interesting. Many persons adopt a vegetation diet on the ground that they do not like te feel that life has been taken to feed them, nor do they fancy the thought of eating dead meat. On the other hand, too great consumption of partly cooked, starchy oats and wheat, or bread pastry, etc, produces serious bowel troubles, because the bowel digestive organs, (where starclpshould be digested), are overtaxed and the food ferments, }roducing gas,:and microbes generate in the decayed food, frequently bringing on peritonitis and appendicitis. Starchy food is absolutely essential to the human body. Its best form is shown in the food “Grape-Nuts,” where the starch is changed into grape sugar during the process of its manufacture In this way the required food is presented to the system ina pre-digested form and is immediately made into blood and tissue, without taxing the digestive organs. A remarkable result in nourishment is gained ; the person using Grape-Nuts gains quickly in physicial and mental strength. Why in mental? Because . the food contains delicate particles of Phosphate of Postah obtained from the grains. This unites with the albumen of all food and the combination is what nature uses to rebuild worn out cells in the brain. This is a scientific fact that can be easily proven by ten days’ use of Grape-Nuts, Never eat beyond three or four heaping teaspo onfuls at a meal. Sanitarians Meet.
