AT A SEAL RooKERY.

Thousands of Seals in Bunch
Which Are Very Fearless.
The captain and some of the officers
were not allowed to go near the rock
cries for fear of disturbing the seals
From the ship, however, we got a
very good view of the groups and as
the morning warmed up they became
quite restless. The females seemed to
want to get away, but each old male
kept circling around his group and
kept his wives all huddled in. Some of
the groups had as many as thirty or
forty, while others had only two or
three. Those with the small harems
were comparatively quiet, while the
others were having a hard time. Some
aged males were off on one side by
themselves, and they seemed to be en-
joying life because they could have an
undisturbed sleep. The males are much
larger than the females, and from a
distance look black, while the females
are a dirty yellowish gray. In the
water they all appear nearly black
and their heads have quite a human
appearance. They have no fear of us
and play close around the ship. The
young of each family are off on one
side of the group of females and look
like a lot of black pigs.
One -rOokery contains several thous-
and seals and they keep up a constant
bleating, like a flock of sheep.
The North American Commercial
company has the exclusive right to kill
seals on the islands, and it is allowed
to kill only $500 a year. for which it
pays the government $40 a piece. A
few years ago when the Alaska Com
mereial company had the contract it
was allowed to kill 100000 a year.-New

Its mines that are now being operated

When silver dropped so low, the at

that were located, many old mines
that have already yielded millions of

COMMISSION MERCHANTS FAIL.
San Francisco. Jan. 10.

w. F. Beck & Co, commission mer-
chants handling chiefly salmon and can
ned and drief fruits, have failed. The
liabilities are estimated at three-quarters
of a million. Beck says the individual
members of the firm will sacrifice their
fortunes and will pay up in full. The
failure is due practically to the collapse
of the raisin market, the low price of
salmon and the inability to dispose of
large quantities of canned goods in the
store. The firm had made heavy advances
to farmers and orchardists and had been
unable to sell the fruit crops. They did
a very extensive business having branch
es in large cities in this country and Eu-
rope. Wells-Fargo bank is the heaviest
creditor, having a secured claim of S104, 600
The company recently lost $4,000 through
