Looking on the Bright Side.
The habit of looking on the brigln
side of things is a. good one, and is
worth a great dea1"to each one who
cultivates it. Certainly one should not
cultivate the habit of looking on the.
dark side, especially when he must
"' draw on his forebodings and appre-
hensions for a victim of that dark side,
and thus see not only what does not
exist but what may never exist. God
promises grace for each time of need,
but not for each time of worry and
anxiety. He promises to be with His
people when they pass through the fire,
but He does not promise to extinguish
the fire before it has been lighted. He
says that when His people miss thrOugh
the waters they shall not overflow
them, and we ought to be satisfied with
that. If we trust in God the discs-
tez's we dread most will never come,
or if they do He will change the dis-
{aster into benediction.

one of the committee of three appoint-
ed-by the Miners' Association to go to
Ottawa to endeavor to secure a modi-
fication of, the mining laws, passed
through this city yesterday. He said
this winter’s gold output would not
exceed $6, 000, 000. In answer to the
question whether any new Strikes had
been made, he said:
None. Next to nothing is known of

as gold mines. ”

able claims on Bonanza Creek. They

He said that since the two safes of the
AlaSka. Commercial Company had been

Rush Has Begun Early.
Portland, Ore., Jan.25.—The steamer
Oregon has sailed for Alaska with 450
passengers and 1,250 tons of general
merchandise and baggage. Fifty head
of live stock are also part of the cargo.
Three hundred persons who applied for
passage were refused, and hundreds
of tons of freight are lying on the
docks awaiting transportation to the
gold fields. The rush to the Yukon
from every port in the Southwest has
begun earlier than was anticipated by
the transportation companies, and
every steamer that leaves is compelled
to refuse both passengers and freight.
The demand for lumber in Alaska is
enormous, but steamships refuse to
'carry it, preferring to take less bulky
freight and leaving the lumber for sail-
lng vessels.
Twenty-five \Voman Passengers.

schooner Noye sailed for Alaska car-
rying 180 passengers and 175 tons of'

dle 500 tons of freight daily, taking
boats and all.

New York, Jan. 25.—-—The largest ex-
pedition of fortune—hunters ever to
leave this city for the Klondike, and
the first to undertake the journey by

young men from the cities and large
towns of Connecticut, and is known as
the Connecticut-Alaska Mining Com-
pany. It is headed by Henry M. Tal—
bot, a gray-haired mining expert,
whose experience runs as far back as
1859, The party numbered about 75,
and included several New Yorkers.
The party expects to reach Seattle
next Saturday, After a stay of a week
they will board the schoonei Moonlight
on Feb. 4 for Copper River. The Moon-
light will remain at anchor and will be
used as a base of supplies for the party.
, The operations of the company are
to be conducted on the co-operatlve
plan. _Each member has contributed
an equal amount, and all hands will
share equally in the proceeds. They
expect to come home Within two 01-

The llIaryland Senatorship.
:Annapolis, Md., Jan. 25.—The ninth

ing the joint convention, Delegates

Washington, Jan. 25,—Republic-ans
are watching the contest going on in
Maryland with much solicitude. and
are fearful lest the deadlock, may con-
tinue the entire length of the session
of the Legislature, which would give
German an opportunity to succeed him-
self. Several Maryland politicians in
Washington express the opinion that
the endwill come this week. Most of
them predict the election of Judge Mc-
Comas, who is regarded as the Admlrw
lstration candidate.
