Plumb After the >calp Of the Alaska
Commercial Company.
WASHINGTON, January 13.-In the Sem
ate today the resolution heretofore
offered by Plumb, respecting the lease
of the islands of st. Paul and St. George
to the Alaska Commercial Company,
was AIKEN up, and Plumb proceeded to
address the Senate. He said the time
for proposals for a new lease was too
short, and the proposition limiting to
80, 900 the number of seals to be taken
the first ye ar, if not extraordinary,
opened up a wide field of conjecture.
Hs spoke of the preference shown the
Alaska Company, and said certain
Louis Goldstone had made higher bid,
and also offered to pay 621a cents skin
more than the Alaska Commercial Com
pany, and 55 cents gallon for
all seal oil extracted. The Alaska Com
mercial Company assumed that the offer
from itself got the lease and agreed to pay
$65, 1000 per annum during the entire
term of the contract; to pay 50 621a per
skin for all skins it would take, and to
pay fitty-five cents gallon for all oil.
The first year the Department, instead
of exacting the payment of the $65 900,
accepted $4,000 and remitted the re-.
msinder of the payment. He said that
more than two-thirds, or perhaps three
fourths. of all the seals taken in the
world are taken from the Alaskan islands
and vicinity. These seal skins were sold
at public auction in London, in the raw
state, at an average of about $40 apiece
One hundred thousand skins at $l9 9
piece amounted to $1,90O,0O0. He went
back in his statement to mention the
fact that in the operation of the lease the
Treasury Department remitted all pay
ments on account of oil, 30 that not a
dollar had been paid during those years
on that account. He said Goldstone
calculated in making his bid that each
seal would produce Two gallons of oil,
and on that calculation 100000 seals a
year would, at 55 cents gallon for oil,
have produced $4,000 year, or $2,.
100000 for the twenty years of the lease.
But the Treasury Department never
profted by that clause in the lease.
He did not believe such lease should
be made to any one for any term
whatever He believed the Government
should get it's fair share of the enormous
revenue derived from the lucrative trade
in fur seals. He had no doubt the profitf
of the company had ON an average far
exceeded 81 ,0OO, 900 year since it had
the lease. He would not be surprised il
it's profits averaged 100000 year
Congress should do something adequate
to the situation, and not allow the mat
ter to 60 on in such slipshod way.
Messrs. Dawes, Mcpherson and
Stewart defended the Alaska company
and the resolution was referred to the
Committee on Finance. The action O
the House upon the death of Repre-
sentative Kelley was announced, where
upon the Senate adjourned.

Plumb,s Fur seal Bill.

WASHINGTON, January 13.-Senator
Plumb today introduced a bill to repeal
80 much of the act of July, 1870, as au.
thorizes the leasing OF the rights to en-
gage in taking fur seals from the islands
Of ST. Paul and St. George, Alaska. The
bill provides that all authority heretofore
conferred upon the Secretary OF the
Treasury to lease the rights OF seal
fisheries to any company be repealed,
and the lease existing between the
Alaska Commercial Company and
the Government be terminated.
The bill also requires the Sec
retary to promulgate regulations
prohibiting the taking and killing OF
seals or other fur animals by any but
natives, and prescribing the number to
be taken each year. The bill proposes
to continue ell other restrictions now IN

force, but provides that all skins taken
hereafter shall be transported annually
to San Francisco, to be sold there IN
open market to the highest bidder. All
money derived from these sales is to be
paid into the treasury and set apart tor
the education of the natives of Alaska.

The Beef Market.

From Hon. T. B. Hickey, who came
up from below this morning, the Ga
zette learns that the beef market is
no market at all, 80 to speak. Every
old Cow in the State Of California is
being driven into San Francisco as
"beef," and the butchers do not seem
to pay any attention to quality. Mr..
Hickey fears that feeders in this Sec
ton will not see any better market
than the present this Winter. 1t is
poor encouragement to feed prime
steers and get them rolling fat, and
then have to compete with California
cow beef, and poor COW beef at that
Reno Gazette.

A Draft of Thirty Miners.

Monday morning the Yuba knocked
off about 15 miners and about the
same number were laid off at the
Jackrabbit mines. The cause of the
draft we were unable to learn, but
enough miners were retained to take
out sufficient ore to keep the smelter
running, and all coal and ore teams
are still on. We do not believe this
will last long and that the full force
will be put on again very shortly. A
shut down at this time of the year
would give the camp black eye and
one from which it would take some
time to recover Phoebe Record.
