the host of Paul and Silas, but we

themselves, they wished to take refuge
in the mob. Iniquity which would be
impossible to one man or a few men
becomes easy for a crowd.
And when they found them not.
They identified Jason with the Christ-
ian cause, since he had sheltered the
Christian missionaries, and, not be-
ing able to find the apostles, who
were probably at work elsewhere, they
were ready to wreck their wrath on
any of their followers, What an hon-

that has such tendency to turn the
world upside down, as our glorious
Christianity. The fact is, that

of His final triumph and of the king-

The town of Wrangell, superbly situated o__
coast of South -Eastern" Alaska, is the centre of
unusual interest this season, as the base from which
prospectors are going in large numbers up the Stikine
River into the Cassias and Dease Lake Districts of
Northern British Columbia. While the Gold Rush
seems not so universal as was at first predicted—
during the Winter months a stampede only compar-
able to the rush of '98 into the Yukon was very gen-
erally foretold—it is in all likelihood a more healthy
influx of practical mining men from, whose explora-
tions in these richly mineralized districts much good
may be axpected.'
It was the GoId Rush of '98 that made of Wrangell
the town that it is to -day, though it is one of the oldest
settlements in Alaska. Its foundation dates back to
1830 when Baron Wrangell was Governor of Alaska,
and a trading post was - established there. This was
later leased by the Hudson's Bay Co. It was thought
that Wrangell via the Stikine River would, be the most
direct route into the Yukon, but the building of the
White Pass and Yukon R.R. destroyed such hopes.
The industries of Wrangell are fishing and lum-
bering. Six canneries look to Wrangell as the source
of their supplies, and the saw -mill furnishes a large
part of. the salmon boxes used in S.E. Alaska.

The journey up the Stikine River to the old Hud-
son's Bay town of Glenora, and to Telegraph Creek
is one fraught with beauty. Awe inspiring mountains
of great height, swiftly flowing waters, mammoth
glaciers, and deeply rugged canyons being encoun-
tered in making the ascent of the river, in;a small gas
boat. ,
About nine miles from the town of Wrangell and at
the mouth of the Stikine River, is Farm Island where
the Wrangell Indians lived perhaps five hundred years,
ago, and on this Island is the aviation field where the
New. York to Nome aeroplanes made the first landing
in Alaska. This exploit was as • dangerous as the first
trips across. the, Atlantic for their flight bore them,
over deep canyons,, dense forests, rugged mountain
peaks and glaciers, in a country uninhabited by white
or Indian. -
Twenty miles up the river, having passed the fam-
ous Popoff Glacier and -Shakes' Mineral Springs --a
stream of water gushing from a granite mountain;
and of such great heat as easily to boil an egg—the
boundary between the United States and Canada is
reached, and the first branch of the Stikine River;
leads off to the right. This is the Iskoot and it waters
a region famous for its scenery,big game, and min-
eral prospects. The whole journey occupies four days.'
The way into the Gassier and Dease Lake countries
is made by pack train from Telegraph Creek and for
the benefit of prospectors going in during this season'
