CELL, Juneau, and Sitka, while tim
othy and red top grow to a height

ing cured for the winter. Cattle
few, but in the best possible condi-
ton.
The most important interest
after the fur trade is that Of mining.
The most complete reduction works
of any to be found on the Pacific
Slope are at Douglas Island, oppo-
site to Juneau. His description of
the coal, iron, copper and other
mineral regions of Alaska is inter
esting, but based, as he admits,
upon heresay. The waters of Alaska
swarm with food fishes, principal
among which are the cod, salmon
and halibut. The curing and can
ming of cod and salmon has as
sumed large proportions. There
are immense forests of spruce and
hemlock, with scattered groves of
yellow cedar, which last is very
valuable. He urges the necessity
of a more perfect form of civil
government for the Territory, and
gives reasons for allowing that Ter
ritory to send Delegate to Con
gress which / think are entitled to
grave considerations.

DISCOUNT ON SILVER.

1t appears that the California
banks are taking as decided stand
against silver ms those of New York
and Boston. In Sacramento they
have placed discount ofOne-fOurth
of one per cent. upon all silver
which they receive They argue
that silver accumulates so fast III
their vaults that they have to ship
the surplus frequently to other
places, and the discount is to cover
the expense of such shipments.
Congress ought to prevent, by leg
islation, national banks from dis
counting money which it has made
legal tender, for the purpose of
making it expensive for the people
to use it in preference to the bank
notes. There is no good reason
why banks should be permitted to
regulate the finances Ofthe country
and, by concerted action, nullify
the action of Congress.-Winne-
mucca Silver State.
During the absence of the editor
of the KEYSTONE we take the liberty
of suggesting 4 plan that will for
ever settle the finance problem, so
far as silver is concerned. The
people of the West are directly in
tcrested in having silver made a
permanent equal with the gold or
paper money issue of the country.
This can be done very easily if our
representative men in Congress,
who are not controlled by the
money kings and financial specula-
tors of the great money centers
o.! th- FuSt. can be induced to
work in unison for the passage of
one short bill through Congress.
That one bill should make it a
crime against the Government,
with severe penalties affixed, for a
citizen Of and within the jurisdic-
ton of the United States to offer
70 discount any of the monevissue
of the United States. With such a
law in full force and effect there
would be no complaint against
silver, or any of TIE Governments
money issue. Then it would make
no difference to the monica men
whittier the circulating medium
was silver, gold or paper, the OBJ
ject in view at present being to de-
preciate silver for the purpose of
speculation. While greenbacks
were fuctuating and offered a
means of speculation, silver was
unnoticed. Let Congress pass such
a law as above suggested and the
silver question will be permantly
settled. Then withdraw silver GER
tilicatcs and put silver coin in cir
culation. Tho working class OF
the whole country will be only too
glad to take it in payment for
their wages.

In the report just issued of the
Secretary Of the Interior for the
fiscal year ending June 80, 1885,
the following interesting account of
Alaska is found:
The present Governor Of Alaska
did not reach Sitka, the seat of
government, until the 18th Of Sep
TENDER last. Notwithstanding the
short period of fifteen days inter-
vening between the day of his ar
rival and that on which he is re-
quired to make his report, he has
with the most commemorate indus
try prepared and sent on a report
remarkable alike for the interesting
information it contains concerning
the population, resources, and gen.
eral condition of that remote dis
trict, and for the Importance of its
suggestions and recommenda-
tons respecting the administra-
ton Of its civil government. Hav-
ing received this report just as my
own was going to press, l must
postpone to n future occasion a
fuller discussion of the latter sub
ject.
He estimates the population of
Alaska, exclusive of the eastern
portion of the Territory, which has
not yet been reported on, at be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 inhabi-
tants, including Creoles, Aleuts,
whites and Indians. He states
that the native Alaskans are large.
ly educated in the elementary
branches Of a common school ed
ucation, and as rule are ;ndustri-
Gus, provident, living in pcrma
nept, substantial homes, and all
self-sustaining. Many Of them arc
members Of the different Christian
churcbcs-Greek, Presbyterian, and
Catholic.
He says that they belong to an
entirely different race from the
Indian tribes, and are capable OF
being educated up to tho standard
of good and intelligent citizenship,
and recommends that just in pro-
portion to their educational pro-
gress they should have the rights
and privileges conferred and the
duties and penalties of full citizen
ship imposed upon them.
On the 14th Of October last Gov
ernor Swincford states in private
letter, up to the date Of writing
that they had no frost at all, and
1 that last winter at Sitka the lowest
point reached by the thermomete1
was l406 deSsses shove zero.

A Curious Case.

A physician was recently called to
visit patient named Antonio Barra-
ia, living at Jackson Gate, Cal, He
is an Italian, about fifty years OF age,
and earned living by mining. He
was suffering from bleeding at the nose
to such an extent that all ordinary
remedies proved unavailing to stop it.
In order to prevent the patient from
bleeding to death it was found neces-
sary to plug the nostrils. Another
feature of his disease was the appear
ance of livid, purple blotches over the
hands and arms and other portions
of the body. Even the tongue ives al
fected in this way, and as far down the
throat as could be seen. These spots
were caused by the rupture of the
small, superficial veins, and the con-
sequent presence of stagnant blood
beneath the skin. It's not a common
malady. The victim will recover.

A Young Recruit.
From a Washington special.1

lFrom Washington Special
Il would like very much to haveyou
become my guardian" were the words
addressed to Campbell Darlington, a
member Of the bar, by a rather fine
looking, well built lad of Is who called
at his office.
In replyto questions the boy said:
"Both my parents are dead. / lived
in Liverpool, Eng. Ihaveno relations
and want to 60 into the United States
navy, but [ hear that at my age [ will
have to have the consent of a parent
or guardian"
"Well, my son, it will cost something
to get letters of guardianship" said
Mr.. Darlington.
"What is the loan of $40 to a boy
who will be an officer in the United
States army" asked the youth.
This confident way of looking the
matter settled the question with Mr..
Darlington, who at once sent the boy
with a note to recruiting officer,
when he was excepted conditionally
under the name of Fred. Turner, and
returned to Mr.. Darlington and the
latter gave him the money to pay for
his bed and board. Next day petit
ton was prepared, asking for the &C
ton OF the probate court and Mr.. Car,
rlngton was appointed guardian, and
Fred. Turner entered the service of his
adopted country.
