' - DRUDGING CLAIMS Dawson.���������-Not since the days of,I ho wild stampede of 1897 and 1S!)8, has the. Klondike known such excitement as prevails today. The phenomenal success of the two Mg dredges on the Klondike river has given a marvelous impetus to the staking of all low-lying bottoms for dredge purposes. Scores of streams, have boon staked in eveiy quarter, and scores of applications are being made for submerged river gravels. All .the land along the shore of the Yukon within live miles of Dawson, noith and south, is token up, wand the river bottom along the same sUetch is applied for. for dredging. The Mazie May is among the latest streams to be stampeded for drodge purposes. R. Pa tion and ������������������;- sociates staked the first claims on the creek, and h.ive applied for the grants to the ground. They were accompanied by vi'uiLe a number of men. Patton creek, a tubulary to the Ma/.ie May, also was staked. The Afiazie Way is a tributary of the Stewart, forty miles above its mouth. Tbe staging on Mazie was begun at a point fourteen miles above its mouth. Thc,Mazie May was staked several years ago for ordinary placer purposes. At that time -a. number of ] fine nuggets were: secured on the,'i creek, and it promised to become a producer, but water and other .troubles discouraged the miners.

She will commence her duties on Tuesday morning, Monday being a holiday. Miss Mebius is to receive $C0 per month for her work. Trustee Carroll, of the management! committee, reported that during ths past week he had installed Miss M. Glenn in the primary department until such time as a teacher should bo employed.

He mentioned several whom he 'had noticed looking after cows', instead of being' in. school, as they should be, and iii Mr. Rummdng's opinion, something should be done in the ,matter. Trustee Greaves was . also of this opinion, and suggested that the truant ofti- * cer should look after the children. Air. Runimings stated that he had spoken to Air.

SUPERINTENDENT. COMMON SENSE AND GOOD ADVICE It is encouraging to read in the "St. Louis Medical and Surgical Journal," one of the leading medical journals of the United States, the following arguments regarding medicine: "No sane physician will condemn a drug or medicine because an overdose results unfavorably, for if we did we might better quit the practice of medicine than to treat patients with drugs so inert that overdoses will-never do harm. Any drug or medicine which is safe if taken according to the directions on the package, is a1 safe remedy in the sense in which the word "safe" is used in medicine." That is the only safeguard for either the doctor's prescription or the patent medicine; to be safe it must be taken according to directions. THE COMFORTABLE WAY.
