THEY USE SILVER
BULLETS.
Indians Who Possess Valuable
of Silver and Copper.
On tho headwaters of
river, Alaska, about two hundred
miles from the sea coast,
a white man has never been
allowed to visit, dwells
strange and peculiarly
race of Indians. In recent years,
through some unknown means, they
acquired possession of a few
and now when they come down to tho
trading posts on river, at the
head of Cook's inlet, they often bring
bullets molded out of silver and other
metals. The Alaska Commercial
company's agent, three years ago.
obtained several of these bullets and
sent them to San to be
assayed, and the returns indicated
sixty-five per cent, was silver, the
remainder being copper and lead
with a slight trace of gold.
The Indians have a great many
primitive weapons and
all of which are rudely though
skillfully made out of pure copper.
They have frequently Informed the
white traders that silver and copper
abound in immense quantities at the
base of a certain peak, back of Spirit
mountain, which Is now reckoned
s being the highest
In North America by
and engineers who have
it from a distance. It is
known that these Indiana have no
means or knowledge of reducing ore,
and It seems almost certain that
they must be telling a true story
about silver and copper being found
in almost pure quantities In its
state.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
ARTIFICIAL PERFUMES.
Most or the Natural Odors Can B
Imitated.
The natural perfumes are nearly
all of vegetable origin, derived from
flowers and fruits, musk being the
only animal perfume of importance.
The odors of fruits, however, have
been long imitated with tho
and ethers of fatty acids.
Mixtures of these give the odors of
strawberries, raspberries, apples,
pears, etc. The aroma of rum and

How about prices this season,

to sell for. We can only draw
conclusions experience, and-
if we are to be governed by the
past, it stand i to reason that the
better grades of tobacco will sell
at good prices- While the mar
of the world are now full of
nondescript stuff and as a matter
of course, such grades of tobacco
will necessarily remain low with
but little demand for them.
Several more buyers are expect-
ed to locate in Greenville the

several large dealers in reference
to tho crop outlook, and the prob-
ability of getting prize houses

All of September the hurricane
was more severe than any of the
previous days, and the seas rose
most like mountains. During the
height of the tempest the midship
wheel rudder chain parted. At the
same time the relieving tackles
parted again, and the rudder was
almost useless. Nothing could

storm lasted, and in that time she
got broadside to the seas. At times
It seemed that the vessel would roll
completely over. Then the cargo
began to move to starboard, and by
the time the rudder chains were
temporarily repaired the vessel had
a list. It was impossible to
gel the steering gear in repair so
that it could be depended and
the vessel was headed for the Falk-
land islands.
It took her nearly five months at
Stanley to make repairs, and on
February last she sailed again.
She had fair but variable weather
until within five hundred miles of
port, when a streak of calms was en-
counter, and it took her twenty-
two days to make port. She sailed

of his discovery, out
that It was generally m it by
geologists that the continent of
North America Immediately before
the glacial period stood at a much
higher elevation than the present
time, amounting lo, perhaps, be-
tween two and thousand feet.
Tho Inevitable result of this must
have been to change the river sys-
from what I hey now are, and
to create in the north a gigantic
river draining an area of over one-
third of the entire continent of
North America, and forming
drainage basin seven times as large
as that of the St. Lawrence.
The portion of the great
river was the middle of what is now
Hudson bay, as proved by tho ex-
depressions of land in the
north of Canada and the great
depth of the center of bay.
Its part discharged through
what is now Hudson straits into
