Career and Character of Abraham Lincoln. 



An address by Joseph Choate, Ambassador to Great 

 Britain, on the career and character of Abraham Lin- 

 coln — his early life — his earlv struggles with the world 

 — his character as devel ped in the later years of his 

 life and his administration, which placed his nanje 

 so high on the world's roll of honor and fame, has 

 been published bv the Chicago, Milwaukee, & St. 

 Paul Railway, and may be had by sending six (6) 

 cents in postage to F. A. Miller, General Passenger 

 Agent, Chicago, 111. 



TWENTY MILLIONS IN GOLD FROM ALASKA 

 DURING THE YEAR 1900. 



Five millions of this came from the Nome district. 

 Government officials estimate the output from the 

 Nome district will be doubled the coming season. 

 The Bluestone, Kougarok, and Pilgrim Rivers have 

 been found very rich. There is hardly a creek from 

 Port Clarence to Norton Sound in which the precious 

 metal is not found, and hundreds of creeks unpros- 

 pected. A rich strike has been made on the Yellow 

 River, a tributary of the Kuskokwim. 



For full information regarding routes, steamship 

 accommodations, and rates to all points in Alaska, ad- 

 dre.ss C. N. .Souther, General Agent, Passenger Depart- 

 ment, C. M. ^! St. P. R'y. 9.5 Adams St., Chicago.
