The baslness of the Alnskn-Klondykc Gold
Mining Coniiftny will be to run a linrjof stosnv
era on the Yukon River, and between Seattle
and the different parts of Alaska, open supply
stores at the different camps, do a geneial
transportation, commercial and banking bu
iness, and, in addition, deal In Mining Claims,
and work the mines already owned and that
may hereafter he aoqulred by the Company.
The Company controls the following
properties:
Eight Cold Placer Claims ngirregHtlng IfO
Acres in Extent, located on Forty Mile Creek
under Untied States mining laws. Development
has proved the pay streak lo be five feet thick
and has yielded-placer dirt that pans from $10
to 115 to the pan. Five Gold Placer Claims, ag
aregaling 100 Acres In extent, on Porcupine
River, tliat pans from 23 cents to $10 to a pau.
Ten Gold Placer Claims, aggregating MO acres
on the Tanna River, panning from 110 to "0 a
yard.
A fine gold quarts lode In Alaska, which as
says from $13 to IVJO per ton. The lode show
an enormous outcrop of free milling ore, vein
at surface being 12 feet thick : on this property
have made 12 locations of 1300 feel by U00 feet,
equaling 120 acres. We don't claim that it Is
the mother lode, but we do know It is without
an equal for prospective vulues.
The estimates and statement above are of
necessity based upon information obtained
from our Superintendent, and are believed and
accepted by the company.
This company having acquired extensive
holdings of rich placer and gold quarts proper
ties, caimlile of earning large dividends on its
stock-, offers to investors advantages that in
suielargo and profitable returns.
Mr. George W. Morgan, our Superintendent,
has been on the Yukon for the pa-it yer work
ing In the interest of this company. Therefore,
we are: not asking any one to contribute to a
project unplanned, but to one thoroughly ma
tured. This company, with Its able aids, ex
tensive knowledge, and great resources, is cer
tain to become nno of the rioilest companies op
erating la Alaska.

Samuel xlr, 4t, 1 did but taata a lit
tit honey with tha and of tha rod that
waa In my hand, and lo, I must die."
Tha honeybaa la a moat lngtntoua
architect, a Christopher Wren among
Insects, geometer drawing hexagona
and penUgona, freebooter robbing
the fields of pollen and aroma, won
drous creature of God whose biogra
phy, written by Huber and Swammer
dam, la an enchantment for any lover
of nature. Virgil celebrated the bee
In his fable of Arlstaeui, and Moaea
and Samuel and David and Solomon
and Jeremiah and .Exeklel and St
John used the delicacies of bee manu
facture aa a Bible aymbol. A miracle
of formation la tha bee. Five eyes,
two tongues, the outer having a
heath of protection, hairs on all aides
of its tiny body to brush up the par
ticles of flowers, its flight so straight
that all the world knows of the bee
line. The honeycomb is a palace
such as no one but God could plan
and the honeybee construct; ita cells
sometimes a dormitory and sometimes
a storehouse and sometimes a ceme
tery. These winged tollers first make
eight strips .of wax and by their an
tennae, which are to them hammer
and chisel and square and plumb line,
fashion them for use. Two and two
these workers shape the wall. If an
accident happens, they put up but
tresses of extra beams to remedy the
damage.
Do you know that the swarming of
the bees Is divinely directed? The
mother bee starts for - a new home,
and because of this the other bees of
the hive get into an excitement which
ralaea the heat of the hive some four
degrees, and they must die unless they
leave their heated apartments, and
they follow the mother bite and alight
on the branch of a tree, and cling to
each other and hold on until a com
mittee of two or three bees has ex
plored the region and found the hol
low of a tree or rock. not tar bit from
a stream of water, and they her set
np a new-colony and ply their aromat
ic Industries and glre themselves to
the manufacture of tha saccharine ed
ible. Bnt who can tell the chemistry
of that mixture of sweetness, part of
it the Tery life of tha bee and part of
it the Ufa of tha fields?
Plenty of this luscioua product waa
hanging in tha woods of Bethaven
during the time of Saul and Jonathan.
Their army waa in pursuit of an ene
my that by God's command moat be
exterminated. Tha soldiery were pos
itively forbidden to stop to eat any
thing until tha work waa done. It
they disobeyed they were accursed.
Coming through the woods they found
a place where the bees had been busy
great honey manufactory. Honey
gathered in the hollow of the trees
until it had overflowed upon the
ground In great profusion of sweet
ness. All the army obeyed orders
and touched it not save Jonathan,
and he, not knowing the military or
der about abstinence,- dipped tha end
of a atlck ha had in hia band into the
candled liquid, and as yellow and
tempting it glowed on the end of the
stick he put it to his mouth and ate
the honey. Judgment fell upon him
and but for special intervention he
would have been slain. In my text
Jonathan announces his awful mis
take, "I did but taste a little honey
with the end of tha rod that was In
my hand, and, lo, I must die." Alas,
what multitudes of people In all ages
have been damaged by forbidden hon
ey, by which I mean temptation, de
licious and attractive, but damaging
and destructive!
Corrupt literature, fascinating but
deathful, comes In this category.
Where one good honest, healthful book
Is read now there Is a hundred
made up of rhetorical trash consumed
with avidity. When the boys on the
cars come through with a pile of pub
lications, look over the titles and no
tice that nine out of ten of the books'
are Injurious. All the way from here
to Chicago or New Orleans notice that
objectionable books dominate. Taste
for pure literature la poisoned by this
scum of the publishing house. Every
book In which sin triumphs over vir
tue, or in which a glamor Is thrown
over dissipation, or which leaves you
at its last line T"lth less respect for
the marriage Institution and less ab
horence for the paramour Is a de
pression of your own moral charac
ter. The bookblndery may be attrac
tive, and the plot dramatic and start
ling, and tho style of writing sweet as
tho honey that Jonathan took up with
his rod, but your bcBt Interests forbid
It your moral safety forbids It,
your Cod forbids. It, and one
tuate of It may lead to such
bud results that you may have to say i
at the close of the experiment or at I
the close of a mlslmproved lifetime, "I '
did but tasto a little honey with tho
rod that wna la my hand, and, lo, I
must die." i
I.lfo is so short and your time for !
improvement so abbreviated that, you (
cannot afford to fill up with husk and '
cinders and debrlB. In the .interstices
of biiHlnesa that young man Is rtmllns ;
that which will prepare him to bo a'
merchant prince, and that younc wo

minute her or there every day, rise

lounger who read nothing, or read
that which bedwarfs. See all the for
ests or good American literature drip

honeycombs that have in them t'..
fiery bees which will sting you w:ih
an eternal poison while you taste U?
On book may for you or me decldo
everything for this world and tho
next It waa a turning point with me
when In a bookstore In Syracuse oaa
day I picked up a book called "Ths
Beautlea of Ruakln." It waa only a
book of extracts, but It waa all pure
honey, and I was not satisfied until I
purchased all his works, at that time
expensive beyond an easy capacity to
own them, and with what delight I
went through reading hla "Seven
Lamps of Architecture" and his
"Stones of Venice" It is impossible for
me to describe except by saying that
It gave me a rapture for good boo!:)

authors and authoresses from wh.so

very nectar of heaven, and why will
you thrust your rod of lnqulsitlvcnc;?
Into the deathful saccharine of perdi
tion. Stimulating liquids also come into
the category of temptation delicto is.
but deathful. You say, "I cannot bli
the taste of intoxicating liquor, ar.J
how any man can like It la to me an
amazement" Well, then, it Is no
credit to you that you do not take It.
Do not brag about your total absti
nence, because It Is not from any
principle that you reject alcoholism,
but for the reason that you reject ooi
tain styles of food you simply don't
like the taste of them. But miilll
tudea of people have a natural fond
ness for all klnda of intoxicants. They
like it so much that it makes them
smack their Up to look at It They
are dyspeptic, and they like to aid di
gestion; or they are annoyed by In
somnia, and they take It to produce
aleep; or they ar troubled, and they
take It to make them oblivious; or
they feel happy, and they muat cele
brate their hilarity. They begin with
mint Julep sucked through two straws
on the Long Branch plassa and end In
the ditch, taking from a Jug a liquid
half kerosene and half whisky. They
not only like it. hut it is an all con
suming passion of the body, mind and
soul, and after awhile have it they
will, though one wineglass of it should
coat the temporal and eternal destruc
tion of themselves and all their fam
ilies and the whole human race. This
Infatuation of strong drink Is so
mighty in many a man that, though
his fortunes are crashing, and his
health Is crashing, and his domestic
Interests are crashing, and we hand
him a long scroll containing the
names of perils that await him, he
goes straight on to physical and men
tal and moral assassination. In pro
portion as any style of alcoholism Is
pleasant to your taste and stimulating
to your nerves and for a time delight
ful to all your physical and mental
constitution Is the peril awful. Re
member Jonathan and the forbidden
honey In the woods at Bethaven.
Furthermore, the gamester's indul
gence must be put In the Hat of temp
tations delicious but destructive. You
who have crossed the ocean many
times have noticed that always one of
the best rooms has, from morning un
til late at night, been given up to
gambling practices. I beard of men
who went on board with enough mon
ey for a European excursion who
landed without money to get their
baggage up to the hotel or railroad
station. To many there is a complete
fascination In games of hazard or the
risking of money on possibilities. It
seems as natural for them to bet as
to eat. Indeed the hunger for food
is often overpowered by the hunger
for wagers. It Is absurd for those of
us who have never felt the fascination
of the wager to speak slightingly of
the temptation. It has slain a multi
tude of Intellectual and moral giants,
men and women stronger than you
tr I. Down under its power went
glorious Oliver Goldsmith, and Gib
bon, the famous historian, and Charles
Fox, the renowned statesman, and
lu olden times Senators of the United
States, who used to be as regularly at
the gambling house all night as they
were In the halls of legislation by
day. Oh, the tragedies of the faro
table! I know persons who began
with a slight stake In a Indies' parlor
and ended with the suicide's pintol at
Monte Carlo. They played with the
square pieces of bone with black
marks on them, not knowing that i a-
tnu was playing for their bonus lit tliu j
same time, and was sure to sweep all
the stakes off on his side of tho ta
ble. State legislatures have n:t!n and !
again sanctioned tho mighty evil by
pusslng laws lu dofense of rare tracks, i
and many young men have lo: t r.ll
tholr wages at such so called "meet-
lngs." Every man who voted for
such Infamous bills has on his hautls j
and forehead the blood of these souls, j
But In this connection bouio young
converts say to me: "Is it rteht to
play cards? Ia thoro nny harm in a
game of whist or euchre?" Well, I
know good men who play whiat niul
euchre and other stylea of games with
out any wagers. I had a friend who
played cards with his wife and cull-
dra aad thest a ta doe said.
"Com, bow, let ns have prayer.' I
will not Judg other men's conscience.
nt I tell yon that cards ar ia my
mind ao associated .with the temporal
and spiritual rula of splendid young
men that I would aa soon say to my
family. "Come, let us have a game
of cards," aa I would go Into a men
ageri and aay, "Come, let ua have a
game of rattlesnakes." or into a cem
etery and sitting down by a marble
Blab say to ths graTe&ggors, "Came,
let us have a gam at akulla."
Stock gambling cornea Into the same
catalogue. It must be very exhilar
ating to go t the stock market and de
positing small sum of money run the
chance of taking out a fortune. Many
men are doing an honest and safe bus
iness in the stock market and you are
an Ignoramus If you do not know that
it la Juat as legitimate to deal In stocks
aa it is to deal In coffee or sugar or
flour. But nearly all the outsiders
who go there on a financial excuVslon
lose all. The old spiders eat up the
unsuspecting files. I had a friend who
put hia hand on his hip pocket and
said in substance, "I have there the
value of 1250,000." His borne Is to
day penniless. What was the matter?
Stock gambling. Of the vast majority
who are victimized you hear not a
word. One great stock firm goes
down and whole columns of newspa
pers discuss their fraud or their dis
aster, and we are presented with their
features and their biography. But
where one such famous firm sinks 500
unknown men sink with Jthem. The
great steamer goes down and all the
little boats are swallowed In the same
engulfment.
Gambling la gambling, whether In
stocks or breadstuffs or dice or race
horse betting. Exhilaration at the
start, but a raving brain and a shat
tered nervous system and a sacrificed
property and a destroyed soul at the
last. Young men, buy no lottery tick
ets, purchase no prize packages, bet
on no baseball games or yacht racing,
have no faith In luck, answer no mys
terious circulars proposing great In
come for small Investment, drive
away the buzzards that hover around
our hotels trying to entrap strangers.
Go out and make an honest living.
Have God on your side and be a can
didate for heaven. Remember all the
paths of sin are banked with flowers
at the start, and there ar plenty of
helpful hands to fetch the gsy charger
to your door and hold tat stirrup
while you mount -. But farther on the
horses plunges to th bit In a slough
Inextricable.
The best honey I as . Uk that
which Jonathan took on the end of
the rod and brought to his Hps, but
that which God put on the banquet
ing table of mercy, at which we are
all Invited to alt. I was reading of a
boy among the mountains of Switzer
land ascending a dangerous place with
his 'father and th guides. The boy
stopped on the edge of the cliff and
said, "There Is a flower I mean to"
get" "Come away from there," said
the father. "You will fall off." "No."
said he. "I must get that beautiful
flower." And the guides rushed to
ward him to pull him back when, Just
as they heard him aay, "I almost have
it," he fell 2,000 feet. Birds of prey
were seen a few days after circling
through the air and lowering gradu
ally to the place where the corpse lay.
Why seek flowers off the edge of a
precipice when you can walk knee
deep amid the full blooms pf the par
adise of God? When a man may sit
at the king's banquet, why will he go
down the steps and contend for the re
fuse and bones of a hound's kennel?
"Sweeter than honey and th honey
comb," says David, ia tk trxth of
God. "With honey Jt of th rock

The poet Heslod tells of an ambro

would make men live forever, and one
sip of the honey from the eternal rock
will give you eternal life with God.
