Alaska Mum mics.

-Four Alaskan mummies were brought down
from Alaska by the schooner Kodiak on her
last trip. Three 90 TO Berlin and one to the
Smithsonian Institution. The bodies are
wonderfully preserved, even to the skins in
which they are wrapped being intact. One
mummy, evidently that of n woman, is now
in the possession of the Alaska Fur company
and is in a state Of almost perfect preserva-
ton. The mummies were secured by A.
jacobson, who has been over two years in
the country collection for the Royal Museum
of Berlin. He is of the opinion that the
mummies at least two hundred years old,
all evidence obtainable pointing to that fact.
The Esquimaux formerly preserved the
bodies of their dead shamnians or medicine
men, and those of their chiefs and their
wives and children in this manner. After
death the viscera were removed from the in
terror of the body through the pelvis, and
the limbs being pressed close to the body, the
legs well up under the chin, and dried and
encased in skins and then placed in some
cave or rock shelter which was free from
water moisture. Here they remained for
hundreds of year, and were reverenccd by
the living. To them were offered part of the
results of their fishing and hunting cxcur-
sions, if they were successful for they judged
success to be due to the spirits of those whose
bodies were preserved. The mummies just
brought down are in wonderful state of pre-
servation, considering the rude means en-
ployed. In the ease of one that has been
opened, the skin appears to remain intact
and the limbs are movable.

The Hartland Ditch.

This ditch starts out of the north side of
the Gunnison river, about two miles from
Delta, just where the bluffs end, and runs in
a westernly direction. The ditch is ten feet
wide at the bottom, and two and a half feet
deep on an average. 1t was calculated to
carry three thousand inches of water, but will
carry between four and five thousand inches
without trouble. The total cost of the ditch
up to date has been about 50 200, or less than
a dollar an inch. The head of the ditch is
on a level with the bottom of the river, thus
insuring plenty of water at all times. This
season the headgate was raised only four or
five inches and it gave all the water that
could be used. The coming winter the ditch
will probably be enlarged by sinking it a foot
and extending it to the Roubdeau and COW
ering all the best land on the north side of
the river between this point and Roubideau.
When this is done there will be no longer
complaints of high water bitches and failure
of crops. When the ditch is extended it will
cover about twenty full ranches. Among
those who have located under the Hartland
ditch are Messrs. Rollins, Wilson, Sparr,
johnson, Howard, Bond, Diamond, Copy,
Castle, Stanton, Simpson, Cole, Kelso, Sni-
der, Hutchison and Wilson.

Trout striped with Gold.

Virginia City (NevJ Enterprlsc,
W. s. Bender, chief clerk of the Ophin
company, who has just returned from Inyo,
says that in some of the lakes situated well
up toward the summit of Mt. Whitney, are
found trout that have along their sides
golden stripe. No such trout are found in
any other place in the known world. They
are found from ten to eighteen inches in
length, and those who bave seen them say
they are the most beautiful fish they have
ever seen in any part of the world. After
the ffsh have been out of the water for
time and have become dry and shrivcled,
the brightness fades out of the golden stripes
to n considerable extent. These beautiful
trout are found in chain of lakes lying in a
deep canon. Recently, n fishing party went
up from Independence and caught two hun
dred Of these trout. Without much trouble
they might be planted in many places in the
lakes and streams of the Sierras.

There are twelve hundred Mormons in
Conejos county. They have constantly set
up the representation when attention has
been directed to them, that while they were
Mormons and accepted polygamy as a part of
their religion, they were bowling to the laws
of the State in which they live, and refrain
ing altogether from bgamous practices. 1t
now appears that an investigation Of the So
cial life of a school teacher of the Mormon
faith has led to the discovery that he is the
proud head of family of two bran ches and
the husband of two wives. How many 9TH
ers there are in the community who are SINH
larly situated is not known, but ii strikes us
that this is an exceptionally good time to set
inquiry on foot. The work properly belongs
to the district attorney and the grand jury.
If there are Mormons living in polygamy in
Colorado this State should set Utah a lesson
in dealing with them.-Denrer Times.

Episcopal Church of St. Matthew, most gen
orally known rs Addisons chapel. 1t was
built some hundred years ago, and still retains
tho old fashioned pews common to that age
The late venerable Bishop Pinckncy was
rector of this church and parish for over
twenty years. In its quiet and beautiful
churchyard, under the shade Of the ancient
and widespreading oaks rcposo the remains of
his wife and her father, and here surely is n
fitting spot for the remains of tho good bishop
to be deposited. The members of the parish
are greatly and naturally exercised over the
proposition of Mr.. Corcoran TO remove Mrs.
PinCkney's remains to Washington, and de-
posit them and those of the bishop in Oak
Hill cemetery. Why not bring the remains
of the bishop here and deposit them by the
side of his wife, and build on tho spot where
the best and happiest labOrs of his long and
eventful life were spent n monument worthy
of this good man? Inc parisnlOners Will
present petition to Mr.. Corcoran to take
this course, and the reasons are so strong for
il. that it can scarcely be doubted that Mr..
Corcoran will consent, and add another to the
many good deeds he has done.
Both political parties in this country have
nominated their candidates for county officers,
and the political pot is boiling even to the
running over point. Unfortunately the excite
ment over these nominations has been in
creased by the revival of old feuds, and some
of the better and more conservative citizen
members of both parties have fears of vio-
lence to persons and property. It is to be
hoped that the better feeling will prevail.
The old war feeling on both sides seems slower
to die out here than in the more southern
states, where nearly all of the male popula-
tion were actors in the unhappy struggle
Crops Of potatoes and corn in this neighbor-
hood are very good, and this vicinity is noted
