Wednesday, July as, 1886.

SPEAKING of the proposed expedi-
tion to Alaska, the Denver Tribune
Republican says: There are several
expeditions which either will go or
have already gone to Alaska during
the year to explore that distant part
of the national domain. Something
is known of the coast region of Alaska
but very little is known of its interior.
1t contains within its boundaries an
area equal to one-sixth that of the re-
mainder of the territory of the Union.
Although it is probable that an ex-
ploration Of its interior would reveal
very little that would be of value to
the general public. the desire is strong
in Americans to explore our north
western possessions and see what they
consist of, whether they be valuable
or otherwise. 1t is altogether among
the possibilities that gold may be
found there in paying quantities. 1t
was found in California and the state
was soon swarming with prospectors.
Alaska may be considered as having
the same formation and mountain sys-
tenn as California and therefore gold
may be looked for there. The exis-
tence of mineral in any locality has
nothing to do nor is affected by the
latitude, and therefore although
Alaska may seem very far off, 1t does
not follow that il is not rich in
mineral

SOME of the decisions of the English
courts read very funny. One of the
late ones is to the effect that after a
man is permanently dead-say for
some months-it is useless for him to
try and be divorced from his wife.
Any man who would carry his ami
mostly to the sweet hereafter in this
viDdictive fashion deserves to have
his memory and his petition sat upon
