“Mv wife 1ms queer Mens some
times” said Caspv. “I took her to
Tew Bros.’ store to get an outfit for
dinner a few days ago. The first
thing she asked the elerk for was
desecrated codfish.”
“ ‘Ycs’um’ he answered, ‘how
many?’
“ ‘Oh, al**ut two |a>und ten’ she
said
“ ‘Anything else?’
“ ‘Yes, I want some graduated
sugar, twenty-five cents worth of
smokeless herring and a 1m>x of
self-rising yeast.’”
“That reminds me” said Hooli
gan. “of a woman I heard”—
“I never got on the trail of one
who eouldn’t t>c heard.” grunted
Casey.
“I was engaged to lie married to
a woman last summer,” said the
lawyer, “hut now no girl has any
cinch on me. Every one in town
thought that girl and I would get
married. But we won’t. No sir.
The match is out of the Isix. She
struck me as no good and 1 lit out.
I’ve found out her shortcomings.
She is false hearted, false headed
and she has false teeth. Her heart
isn’t as hig as a mustard seed.
Sojne girls are like dice, they are
no good until you shake ’em. I
shook her.”
“Well sir,” said Hooligan, “that
reminds me of”—
“Have a drink,” said Casey hur
riedly. “You have a licautiful
memory for anything except facts.”
“Yes,” said Hooligan, “this was
no fact, it was a dream I had once.
1 thought 1 was in a hoat on the
hay with two girls. One of them
1 loved distractedly, the other one
was merely a friend of mine. A
storm came up and killipied the
hoat and I could only save one of
those girls. What do vou suppose
1 did?”
“You let them laitli drown and
looked after yourself as usual, 1
suppose,” sneered Casey.
“Judging from your previous
conduct” said the lawyer, “1 would
say that you shook your hest girl
and swam ashore with your merely
friend.”
“No,” said Hooligan, “I didn.t.”
“Then” said the lawer, “accord
ing to the latest rules governing
such circumstances, you saved the
one you loved liest.”
“No J didn’t,” said Hooligan, "I
woke up.”
Low Grade Mine Pays Well.
The 11th annual report of the
Alaska Treadwell Gobi Mining
Company once more emphasizes
the great value of a low grade, free
milling gold property, when the
plant upon it is sufficiently large
to handle the ore in large quanti
ties. The report for Jtlie last year
is as follows: There were 457.802
tons of ore crushed, an average of
1,254 tons every 24 hours. The
average yield of the ore was $1.88
per ton, making the total product
$860,737. The total working ex
penses, including office expenses,
amounted to $545,068, leaving a
net profit of $352,559.. The cost
jwr ton of ore, including every ex
pense of mining, milling,office,etc.,
amounted to $1.1906. There have
been extracted since operations be
gan, 3,802,132 tons of ore, yielding
an aggregate value of $18,581,627,
an average of $2.79 per ton. The
total expenses were $4,979,061, an
average of $1.31 jrt ton, leaving
the total profits $5,600,666.

VALDEZ IS T PLACE
To Outfit for the Interior or the
Sound. No Chance of
1,098.
It has lx*en the custom with the
people leaving the States for Alas
ka to stop at Seattle. Portland or
San Francisco to purchase their
outfits. They were advised to do
it. and the merchants issued price
lists of the many articles they,
claimed were absolutely necessary
for the trip. The men who made
the lists never saw Alaska, but the
unsuspecting would-l»e-muxhertnnk!
their word for it. and as a conse
quence, many tons of useless stuff
have been brought into the coun
try, only to lx- thrown away on
the trail. In the lists mention is
made of Dawson prices, giving the
public the impression that the;
same high prices prevail all through
Alaska. This is a delusion and'
intended to induce the people to
buy lx-fore leaving Seattle.
In each issue of the I’uosckctoh
we publish a market price list,
showing the prices of the staple
articles, and anyone intending to
come to this section will do well to
compare this list with the prices
at Seattle or other coast cities.
Taking the expense of freight and
insurance and the chances of loss
if not insured, into consideration,
it will he found much cheaper to
purchase here than elsewhere.
A man left New York early this
year to send an expedition into the
interior hv way of Valdez. He
required twelve tons of provisions
and submitted his list to mer
chants of Seattle and Tacoma and
also to the representatives of two
of the mercantile houses of Valdez,
who happened to Ih> in Seattle at
the time. On comparing the esti
mates he found that the outfit
would cost only eighteen dollars
more here than in Seattle, so the
provisions were purchased at this
place, thereby saving all unneces
sary worry or chance of loss.
The merchants here are fully
equipped for this trade and know
just what the traveler needs. Our
advertising columns present a list
of the most reputable houses here
where fair dealing and courteous
treatment is given to all. If bids
are required they will cheerfully
answer all communications.
