terday he drove down to the wharf
jn Blum & Company's delivery
wagon arrayed in his overhalls
and jumper, when, picking up a
suit case be dashed aboard tho
waiting steamer and disappeared
inlo a stale room. lie confident
ially tohl a friend or two that he
was going out to take dancing
lessons, as he proposed to reach
out for the next fir«t prize of
fered for the best waltzor. Those
who are familiar with Sully's Jay
dreams insist that he is going to
get married, be that as it may,
Sully can't do better than learn
to dance.

GLACIER LEAVES
OLD MOORINGS
More than half a mile of the
big glacier at Thomas bay, South
eastern Alaska, took a slide into
the later last week. It made the
water in Cleveland pass so muddy
that it drove the 11 sh down deep
and the (rollers could not catch
any for several days. After the
slide one man went up with a
shovel and panned out some of
the new ground and succeeded in
gelling a fi»w colors.
A good many men and women
left Petersburg with picks, shov
els and pans, and by las.L accounts
have located all the ground where
the glacier laid. They are busy
washing the gravel, but it is not
known whether they are taking
out any gold or not. The gravel
at. the foot of the glacier has al
ways prospected a few colors to
the pan. but not enough to jus
tify putting in any expense to J
work it.

II i a fact that Valdez beer i.s a food and not a Ionic.
A>k any doctor yon know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
il a few times with your meals and you'll find we're right.
If you drink L«'er you should use Vnldez beer in preference to

Second, because it is a home product; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
