ALASKA'S GREAT WEALTH.
Official Examination of The Gold and
Coal Fields.

DR.. George F. Becker, geologist
in charge of this division of the
United States geological survey, has
returned from Alaska, where he has
been making survey of the gold
and coal fields along the shore line.
He was accompanied by DR.. Will
liam H. Dahl, who went to make a
special report on the coal fields.
This is the first work that has ever
been done by the United States
geological survey in Alaska. He
says there is no doubt that Alaska
is going to be an active mining
region, but he does not believe it
will rival the California mining belt.
The veins are not so large and we'll
defined as they are in this state.
There has been quite an excite
ment this summer about the placer
at the head of Cooks inlet. The
amount of success thus far achieved
hardly warrants the amount of inter
est exhibited. The profitable wash
ings are confined to few miles on
Bear creek, which empty into Turn
again arm.
AS to the coal deposits the only
coal found that seems likely to be Of
any commercial value was at Cooks
inlet. The coal is present in large
quantities. Its heating effect i:
comparatively slight, so that it take:
about two tons to do the work o.
one ton of Vancouver island coal
He believed the coal might be econ
omically mined if the mining was
carried out on large scale and will

Pennsylvania are worked.

said test of the possibility and
feasibility of electric locomotives is

A HoOsier Tragedy.

Tom Rocker, an iron moulder,
his wife Tuesday by cut
ting her throat. He also attempted
to kill Mrs. Emma Pees, Of No. 8
Rhode Island street, indianapolis,
Ind, slashing her about the head and
face with razor, making wounds
from which it is believed she will
not recover. Rocker made an at
tempt to escape and stepped to the
front door with the bloody razor in
his hand. Seeing that it would be
impossible to do so on account of the
crowd of excited men who had gath
cred, he made some remark about
killing tho first man who attempted
to lay hands on him, and then cut
his own throat. The act was wit
messed by "A number of people. The
blood spurtcd from the wound, and
the man, after staggering about for
a few moments, fell. The crowd
started for him but he arose and held
them at bay with the razor. He then
left the house and ran three squares
followed by "A large crowd. When
Elizabeth street was reached, he got
on street car when he was caught
by Patrolman Balan. Jealousy was
the cause of the tragedy.

Poor Wild Things"

MlSSOula SliNerlte: 11eckler "
Siegel, proprietors of the Montana
hotel, have two bear cubs, one of
which is black and the other brown,
black bear, however, being the
mother of both. They were cap
tured last spring by a rancher on
Grant creek, who wounded the mo-
ther which escaped. The antics of
the cubs which have become quite
tame, are ending source of
delight to persons who visit the no.
tel. Last Thursday the cubs were
chained in front of the hotel and Mr.
Siegel was amusing himself and the
crowl near by by giving first one
and then the other drink of soda
pop from a bottle. Intensely jeal-
Gus of each other, when the bottle
was transferred, the waiting animal
would scream with rage. Attracted
by the screams probably, fine look
ing Indian pushed his way inside
the little ring, looked at the strug-
CLING bears for an instant, and, ut
tering an exclamation which seemed
to have a note of defiance in it, drew
from the folds of his blanket some
Jumps of maple sugar and threw
them in front of the bears, which
Immediately began eating them.
A softened look stole into the
stern features of the Indian; his eyes
lost the savage glitter they had worn.
Folding his arms across his breast,
the savage, seemingly unconscious
of others near him began a chant,
which was roughly interpreted to a
Silverite reporter by halfbreed
who heard it.. The translation, put
into shape, is as follows:
"Poor wild things! Chained! You
were not made for chains. Where
is your mother, where is your father?
Others of your kind, where are they?
Dead. That is not bad. Better a
cut throat than strangled heart.
The red man kills, the white man
makes wild things eat their own
hearts. Berries are ripe on the hills
and in the valleys. They are thick
along the streams. They make fat
for winter. They are pleasant to a
bears belly. Your hearts are sad.
You should he on the hills, in the
valleys and along the streams. You
do not see the water run. You can
not hear the trees talk, the grass
whisper. The heart of the white
man is bad when he catches wild
things and tries to tame them. Poor
wild things! Where is your mother:
Where is your father? Dead!"
The last word was spoken with a
rising infection, dying away in pc
culiarly mournful manner. Without
casting look upon the astonished
whites, who knew that he was labor
ing under strong excitement, but un-
able to understand what he was say
ing, the Indian gathered his blanket
about him and strobe away.

Glasgow Gazette: There are peo-

Choteau Montanian: Now r.. X,
you shouldn't get to feeling bad
over that. You know well enough
that no one blames you for having
been born here, no matter how much
they may depIore it. You'll get

Townsend Messenger: Messrs.
Spriggs and Meloy returned from
Neihart on Tuesday night where
they had been attending the exer-
cises at that place on Labor day, and
incidentally renewing old acquain-
tances and greeting old friends.
They report large turnout of citi-
zens and a very pleasant time. Nei-
hart is of course dull, yet proud Of
its existence. The recent fight Of
the people against corporation
that sought to own its laborers, and
its victory has placed our neiehbor-
ing town prominently before the
public. When silver gets its rights
when the people get sense enough
to know what is hurting them; then
Neihart will boom with a growth
that will be permanent and surpris-
ing.

Cholera Report Exaggerated.

The steamship Tacoma has arrived
from the orient bringing $500 tons

DURRANT Is EASY.
The Defense Proposes to Spring "a
Surprise.

Surprise.
An evening paper prints sensa-
tional story about the defense which
will be offered in the trial of Theo-
dore Durrant. The statement cred
tied to a person connected with the
defense is as follows: "The alibi
will be strong, but the defense has
witnesses to show that Durrant not
only did not commit the murder, but
will Indicate who did. Witnesses
will testify that they saw the girl
enter the church Oh the fatal after
noon with certain man, and that at
that time second man was in the
church. There the defense will rest
its inquiry. 1t will not attempt to
prove that these parties did commit
the murder. The statements as to
this are so direct that they will leave
no ground ior the prosecution tc
stand on so far as Durrant is con
ccrned."
