STRANGE ALASKA INDIANS.
Their Bullets and Domestic Utensils

Their Bullets and Domestic Utensils
Made of silver and Pure Copper.
From the St. Louis GioDe-Democrat.
on the headwaters of the Copper river,
Alaska, about 200 miles from the sea
coast, where a white man has never been
allowed to visit, dwells a strange and pc
culiarIy mysterious race of Indians. In
recent years, through some unknown
means, they. acquired possession Of a few
guns, and now when they come down to
the trading posts on Knock river, at the
head Of Cooks inlet, they often bring
bullets nodded out of silver and, other
metals. The Alaska commercial compa-
nyIs agent, three years ago, obtained sew
eral Of these bullets and sent them to
San Francisco to be assayed, and the re-
turns indicated that 60 per cent was sill
yer, the remainder being copper and lead,
with a slight trace of gold. The Indians
have a great many primitive weapons
and cooking utensils, all of which are
rudely, though skillfully, made out Of
pure copper They have frequently in
formed the white traders that silver ami
copper abound in immense quantities ut
the base of a certain peak, back of Spirit
mountain, which is now reckoned as the
highest mountain In North America by
surveyors and engineers who have viewed
it from a distance. 1t Is known that
these Indians have no means or knowl-
edge Of reducing ore, and it seems almost
certain that they must be telling a true
story about silver and copper being found
In almost pure quantities in it's native
state The winter is the only time the
Indians visit the coast for trading pur-
poses. In the summer the post on Kneek
river is abandoned on account of the "a
pacious appetite Of the mosquitoes, it be-
ing Impossible for a human person to sur
vlve their attacks. Several instances are
known where they have killed and de-
voured Indian dogs. The natives, for that
reason, give the coast a wide berth in the
summer.
They are shrewd and very active traders.

a Crazed Lumberman Snntched From
His Turning House.

Crazed Lumberman Snntched From
His Burning House.
Atlanta, Ga. April 1.-THE residence of
J. c. t. Baker the lumber merchant
who lives at NIason's, a small station just
beyond Edgewood, was burned yester-
day afternoon at 1880 O'Clock.
While the fire was raging, Baker be-
came suddenly demented and rushed
madly into the midst of the flames, He
remained there until the building fell
and was pulled out unconscious and half
dead. His rescue was an act of heroism
unparalleled in history ana an instance
of gratitude without equal.
just as the structure crumbled and
flames were still in their fury, a ragged
tramp who only a few minutes before
had been fed from the hand of the I'M
fortunate man, dashed through the dazed
crowd snatched up the charred body Of
his benefactor and brought him out 20
life. When the ragged hero had placed
his burning burden safely down, he Slip
ped modestly through the crowd and
again disappeared.
The lumberman was severely burned,
and his recovery is doubtful.
Baker is the same man who has been
the subject of a series of sensations re-
Gently. Because of former skull injuries
the least excitement produces temporary
insanity and his acts while in that CON
dition are wholly without reason. Several
weeks ago he appointed a certain hour
to commit suicide. 1t was his intention
TO kill himself on the minute and with
this idea, with watch and pistol in hand,
he placed himself before a mirror prepar-
ed for self-dest ruetion, but Just as he was
in the act of firing, police officers rushed
in and conquered him after a desperate
struggle

The 226 miles between Washington and

must be deducted time lost IN five stops,
including ferriage at Baltimore, which
absOrbs about twenty minutes, and delays

spite Of which an average OF nearly forty
seven miles an hour is maintained for the
whole distance-which means an actual
running speed much Of the time Of more

even more. The stretch of 90.2 miles Of

Speaking OF railway projects. says the
Railway Age. it may be incidentally men
toned that the Inter Ocean Electric Rail-
way Company, capital stock $500 900. 900,
has been incorporated in Illinois, with the
ambitious purpose of building an elevated
electric railway from New York via Chi
cago TO San Francisco. The names of the
three incorporators are not familiar In the
financial or Industrial world but as the
idea Is the invention OF a lady. and as the
projectors assert that the plan is prac-
ttcahle, the minor work of placing the
two hundred million of stock will doubtless
be pushed with much energy. As, however,
one of the promoters frankly says that
at least three years will be required to
organize the company and secure the
necessary charters from the states ira
versed," the humiliation OF existing rail-
ways by this hundred -mile-an-hour com
petition win not Immediately commence.
A neat point in railway ethics and prac-
tice is covered by a decision just made
by the chairman of the Western Passen-
ger Association. The distance between ST.
Paul and Kansas City by the Chicago
Great Western route, 5i2 miles. which has
been used as the basing distance Is some
miles shorter than the distance over the
route operated by the combined lines Of
the Omaha and Burlington companies. but
these roads can show a possible route only
5l5 miles long, and on this mileage, there
fore, they have been basng reduced rate
The ruling is to the effect that rates must
be based upon the mileage over which
through cars actually run.

Washington and New York, are space an
