Cure For Lockjaw.
RIT
po
"*
oTo the Editor of The Atlanta
Journal : |
- Thaye noticed several deaths
from olock jaw� caused from a
nail stuck in the fvot. I have
often thought I would tell the
public of a seemingly strange
yemedy. Several years ago T had
in my servics a girl who stuck a
nail in her foot, It was very
much swollen and I knew nothing
to do. Some one told her to
smoke the wound with yarn. I
hed no faith whatever. My father
being a physician, I had been
taught fo look upon such a thing
as ridiculous, Simply to please
her 1 got the yarn and after burn-
ing it blew the blaze out and
smoked the wound. Wel!, while
Lheld the smoke she would say
phe felt it drawing. To my sur-
prise the swelling was gone next
morning and there was no more
trouble. I used it on another
occasion and the wound gaye no
trouble. 1 used it on another
occasion and the wound gave no
trouble. In this case they also
complained of the odrawing sen-
sation.� I think the prets would
do a kindness tocopy this reme
dy extensively. It may be the,
means of relieving some suffering
mortal. I ask every one who
may have occasion not to to
use this remedy. lt will be im-
possible to find one with jess
faith than myself before I used
it. Cet ty BEE.

Cupid Ends a Kentucky Fued.
Said a Kentucky trayeling
salesman, in speaking of Ken-
tucky fueds and a marriage that
had been reported as ending one
a few years since:
oT saw a marriage three weeks
ago in a North Carolina cross
roads village that ended what I
understood has been a bloody
fued between two old families. I
was told by a customer of ours
that one man on each sideT had
beer killed during the trouble,
which came up over a divisioa
fence. Butatruce was patched
up last spring, and since that
time the son of one of the fued
leaders andthe daughter of an-
other have been ~a-keeping com-
pany with each other.T This
friendship ripened into a love
watch, which culminated: in the
wedding. ~The participants in the
feudal fight that bad lived to en-
joy the mountain sconory were at
the marriage.
Oupin has done in this instance
that which bloody midnight
raids, assassinations, pitched
battles, the slug-stored shot*guni

Tho Life Saving Service during
the past year saved 3697 lives and
property valued at $5,108,895 in
the case of documented vessels
and 695 lives and property valued
at $182 280 in the case of undoc-
umented craft. This great work
of salvage was accomplished at a
total net expenditure of $1,473,-
943. The past year was excep-
tionally disastrous, the wrecks
baving been more numerous than
in any year preceding; buf the
service responded most credita-
tly to the severe test puc upon it
by the elements, and made a
record tor efficiency which will
be its own exemplar in the fu-
ture.

Frey has-sent several encouraging re-
ports to his colleagues in the metropo-
Hs by way of Sitka. and Seattle, and
has ordered large reinforcements to his
already good-sized forces. His staff of
{ mining and civil engineers, surveyors
and prospectors was chosen from
among the most experienced men in
the East and West,/and ft has already
achieved astonishing results. A strong
additional force of skilled ~and un-
skilled labor will be placed at his com-
mand as soon as the new men can be
transported to the Copper River, when
active work on the railroad and town
site will be begun at once. The ex-
pedition is already backed by a great
deal of capital, and the corporation
which it represents is still putting

; Daniel Sprague, who has just Jeft this
q town for the Copper River country, in
~the southern portion of Alaska, is au-
thority for the statement that survey-
ors are already at work on the line of
the proposed Alaskan trunk railway,
and that ground will be broken ere
many weeks. He says it will soon be
possible to board a train at or near
the mouth of the Copper River itself,
follow that mighty stream to its
source, and go thence without change
|of cars straight to Dawson City. Ii
| will be not half so difficult to build a
| through railroad to the Klondike, he
1 asserts, as it was to run a line across
the Adirondacks.
Capt. Sprague predicts that the Cop-
per River and Klondike Limited will
dash from one end to the other of this
vast gold-bearing territory long before
the existing trails can again be trav-
ersed, and that the much-needed rail-
way will prevent a recurrence of the
mad rush over the frightful crags of
Skaguay Pass. Moreover, to say no-
thing of the safety and immunity from
exposure, travel by rail to all the big
gold fields of the great Northwest will
be so much cheaper than any other
method"except, possibly, ~the voyage
on river steamers along the Copper,
Chillyna, White and Upper Yukon
rivers, which last will be slower"that
nobody will dream of attempting the
dreary and dangerous tramp over the
trails. The railroad will monopolize
the transportation of perishable freight
and will find favor in tMe eyes of mer-
chants for the carrying of most other
commodities, on account of the short-
ness of the route. It will make the
journey to the northernmost gold re-
gions as easy and almost as rapid as a
trip to the Maine woods.
As for its usefulness along other
lines, says the captain, it is the one
thing needful to the quick development
ment of the world at large in regard to
the vastness and variety of AlaskaTs
natural resources. When men of other
nations, he prophesies, really arrive at
an understanding of the enormous pos-
sibilities of sudden wealth that have
been locked so long in the broad bosom
of this land of gold, they will flock to
this country in small armies. Ameri-
cans, he says, will have to be prompt
if they wish to enjoy the first chance
to gather their own riches.
Gone to the Copper River.
The captain, who is a veteran Alas-
kan, having been a pioneer in the
-country along and far to the north of
Prince William Sound these past eight
years, has gone to the Copper River
investments, é

journey by that gentiemanTs unvar-
nished account of the mineral wealth
of the Copper River country. Before
leaving Juneau, during an interview
at the Occidental Hotel in that city,
Capt. Sprague said, in answer to the
questions of your correspondent:
Easy Communication,
oCommunication can easily be had
with the Copper River from Prince
William Sound at the head of Valdes
Bay, where the Indians make a port-
age to the northward and strike the
Copper River above the Chillyna River
above the canon.�
oWhat are the possibilities of placer
mining along that route, captain?�
your correspondent asked.
oExcellent,�� answered the captain,
who has the reputation of being ultra
conservative in his statements. oGold
has been found around Valdes Bay and
north and northwest of Prince William
Sound, and on Turnagain Arm, CookTs
Inlet. Copper has been found in large
quantities at Teteluk, Prince William
Sound and near the entrance to Valdes
Bay, on the south side. The discoverers
offer of $135,000 for the prospect.�
oAre there many persons in that re-
gion as yet?TT queried your eorrespond-
ent.
oVery few, outside of Mr. Frey and
his men,� the captain replied. oAbout
manently. They are engaged in figh-
ing, fox-hunting and raising. Th
timber is not good on Valdes Bay;~and
has to be transported some twengy-fiv
miles, No good lumber trees arerfoyw
\there. They can, however, eag lye}
'taken from southeast Alaska of "tHe
|Sound. All the material for the fish
, houses was transported from the! as
(of Washington.� ee eae?
Good Climate, Too,
| oHow about the climate?� © . °°
ae
ee
oVery good. It is much milder than
ithat of ~the Klondike region. Snow
falls from six inches to four feet in
idepth; and usually lasts from about
I the beginning of December until May.
Rain falls in September,; October and
April. Absolutely clear weather is ex-
perienced most in May and June.�
oIs there plenty of timber along the
Copper River?�
oNot as much as I'd like fo see. There
are alder and cottonwood, and there is
also an abundance of,,gmall pines
eighty miles north of the thbiith, near
the river slopes. �T
oThe Copper, River ts navigable �*"

about a hundred miles up, the river is
not so wide. There are sand and gravel

oHow far up the Copper River have
you beeri, captain?� asked your corre-
spondent.
oAbout seventy miles above the
canon, The bottoms of the upper
river are of easy slopes, and can easily
be made Iirito a broad bed.�
/ A Land of Gold,
oWhat do you think of the country
generally?�
oT think,� said the captain, slowly,
as if weighing his words well, othat
Alaska is the richest mineral-produc-
ing territory in the world"one vast
gold bed, in fact"and that the Copper
River country is the richest region in
Alaska. Unless I am away off my
reckoning"and I have been pioneering
and prospecting nearly all my life"the
output of the Copper Region during |
the next year will far exceed that of
uny other gold bed in any portion of
the earthT If I had a million dollars,
and wanted more, ITd put every penny
of it into Alaskan investments. The
sincerity of my opinion is demonstrated
by the fact that I have refused several
flattering offers to go to the Klondike,
preferring to try my fortunes in Amer-
ican territory. I believe. Alaska two
years hence will outshine the Call-
fornia of foriy years before. We are
on the eve of a great gold-producing
era all over North and South America,
and the biggest bonanzas, f ~h'°«, wiil
