Gel More and Vwi Gel Less Why is it every sarsaparilla which tries to sell itself, ranges itself against Ayer’s as the standard ? Why is it that all have to offer extra inducements —bigger bottles, fancy wrappers, cheaper price—'anything, everything, but the one inducement of quality ? Ayer’s Sarsaparilla has never been equaled by any cheap imitation of it, and quality tells, just as blood tells. It Is the Standard. “ I have sold Ayer’s Sarsaparilla for more than twenty-five years, and have never heard anything but words of praise from my customers ; not a single complaint has ever reached me. A preparation must possess great merit to maintain such a reputation. I believe your sarsaparilla to be the lust blood purifier that has ever been introduced to the general public. I often hear other manufacturers say that this is “as good as Ayer’s,” but no one ever yet heard it said that Ayer’s was “as good” as any other kind. They always set Ayer’s up as the standard of excellence.” —S. F. Boyce, Duluth, Minn.

FORTUNES fN SILVER. A Region of Alaska Where the Metal Abounds. On the head water of the Ooppe River, Alaska, about 200 miles from the sea eoast, where but one white man has ever succeeded in reaching, dwells a strange and peculiarly terious race of Indians. In recent years, through some tra<& era, they have acquired possession of a few guns, and now when they come down to the trading posts at the head of Cook’s inlet, they often bring bullet* moulded out of sliver and other metals. The Indians have a great many primitive weapons and cooking utensils, ab 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 peak back of Spirit mountain, which is now reckoned as being the highest mountain in North America by surveyors ant" engineers who have viewed It from r. distance. The winter is the only time the Indians visit the coast for trading purposes. In the summer the post on the Kueek River is abandoned on account of the rapacious appetite of the mosquitoes, it being impossible for a human being to survive their attacks. Several instances are known where they have killed and devoured Indlai dogs. The only • reason, apparently, why American prospectors have not visited the upper Copper River country is its almost complete inaccessibility. Several parties have attempted to ascend the river, but from the nature es the stream, being excessively swift and turbulent, one might as well try to climb Niagara Falls. The river Is lined on each side for miles and miles with nothing but glaciers, are perpendicular from the summit to an unknown depth below the water and whose every side Is seamed with crevices so deep as to be almost fathomless.
