AN INTERESTING INTERVIEW
Explorations in Alaska.

SAN Francisco, October IL. - The
Chronicle will publish tomorrow an in.
tervlew with Assistant Engineer Lane,
who was with Lieutenant Stoney on his
exploring expedition of that portion of
Alaska north Of Yukon River, and Of
Putnam River, which was discovered
some two years ago by Stoney. Assist
ant Engineer Lane arrived here a few
few days ago in advance Of the rest of
the party, who are expected here on the
United States steamer Bear next Friday.
The exploring party left San Francisco
May 3, 1886. About December LIST,
Stoney and q party of sailors started for
NostOak River, about 40 miles north of
the Putnam. Soundings for the river
were made, as well as surveys of the
region through which 1t flows. En-
gineer Lane and several men then
started to explore the country in the
direction Of st. Michael's. That point
was reached after journey of twenty
eight days. A rough survey of the
country by compass bearings was made.
While Lane was away, Storey
went southwest, in the region of
Selenik lake and river of the same
name. He noted various small
lakes, rivers and mountain ranges. on
February 1st Stoney went eastward to
the headWaters of Putnam and Noalack
Rivers and was gone forty-fve days.
About those headwaters, he reached an
immense lake on the banks of which
natives from the region of PointBarrow,
the most northern point on the con-
tinent of North America, meet to trade
with the Indians of the Pueam Valley.
1t generally takes the natives TWO sea-
sons to make this trip, the severity of
the winter compelling them to remain |
in winter quarters near the lake. Sto- |
ney's intention was to make a trip |
to Point Barrow from this lake,
but an immense arid plain would have |
to be traYersed, which made it impos-
sible on account of the scarcity of dogs |
food. On April 18th, however Ensign |
and r. J. Price, sailor, started |
for Point Barrow and after great hard !
ships and privations, succeeded in
it on August 10Th, of the
present year, after a journey Of ninty-
six days. Oh June LIST, the breaking of |
the ice in the river enabled all Of the
party to pass down to its mouth. The
explorers gained many new facts

a distance of $50 miles, when rapids are
encountered. 1t drains large area Of

Katzebue Sound. Noatoak River is 120
miles north of Putnam, separated from
it by a range of mountains, shallow and
rocky. and flows east and west. There
is very little vegetation along its banks. |
It is about 400 miles long and empties |
into Katzebue Sound. South of Put
nam about three miles is Solenik Lake,
twenty miles in diameter and very
deep. SOlenik River is 200 miles long,
and flows east and west, It is divided |
into two branches, and flows into the |
lake. North of Noatoak River is
3 wide desert plain extending |
for $50 miles, and interpolated /
with many large and small streams. 1t |
extends clear to the Arctic Ocean. The
soil is very poor and never thaws but to
B depth of a few inches. and aside from
possible deposits of gold and silver and
the fur trade, the country is-not of any
practical value to white men.
Lieutenant Lane regards the report of
Schwatka's discovery of the so-calIed
Jones River as highly probable, for the
country is so little known and there are
10 many rivers, that it is not hard
task to discover q new stream in an ex
tended trip through the territory.

DEMOCRATIC RULE.

From the beginning of her grand ca
reer Montana has been under democrat
io rule. With the exception of one term
she has been constantly and ably rep
resented in congress by democrats her
legislatures have been democratic, saw
ing and excepting the last and memor-
able one, which was republican in the
lower branch; the several political di-
visions of the territory have in the
main been controlled by democrats
And what is the result? What other
territory can boast of such wise and
beneficial rule? Montana has no debt,
no legacies Of misrule; its fame has gone
abroad as the most prosperous OF the
territories, the best government and the
most inviting western field for invest
ment These are the achievements of
continued democratic supremacy and
the experiment of a change would not
be safe one. Two years ago the legis-
lature happened to berepublican in one
branch, and you are familiar with the
work of that body. It certainly was not
such as to encourage the voters to place
confidence in republican law makers
again. Almost every obnoxious and
sumptuary law that could be thought OF
was brought up for consideration and
passed, but the democratic council hap
PLY put a quietus on many OF them.
That small sample of republican rule
should be sufficient. to satisfy the people
of Montana for many years to come.

The Raiding Indians.

Mr.. G. E. Ingersoll returned from the
Judith country Wednesday. He Informed
our reporter that on the night of the 9th
inst, the Indians killed two cows belong
ing to Mr.. Redding, near Frank Bain's
ranch on Lone Tree creek. They packed
off all the meat and broke up the bones,
using enough of the hides to pack it. It
is supposed they went behind Wolf Butte
to dry the meat. On Saturday night they
sWpoped down on F. C. Poole's pasture
and attempted to rope a young horse, but
as the animal had never been broken they
failed in the attempt. The horse was
found the next morning with rope about
his neck. There were signs of Indians all
over the field. The Indians are supposed
to be the ones who made the clean up of
horses near Utica.
Mr.. John J. Davis gives us the follow
ing information of the stealing of horses
by Indians at Utica on the night of the
18th inst. After the raid the Indians went
in the direction of the High
wood mountains. Mr.. Hobbs, who was
interviewed by Mr. Davis, said they
passed between his place and the base of
the mountains ane from the trail they left
in the snow he judged there were more
than forty head Of mules and horses; many
Of the latter were shod. The impression
IS that they came over the mountains and
passed over the shonkin range, and struck
he river at some point below Benton, and
.re probably now beyond danger. A few
lays previous while in the vicinity Of the
Snowy mountains tle Indians came across
! cavalry scouting party who were in
amp, and stole four head of Uncle Sans
;avalry horses, and they are probably with
he balance of the stolen animals.
