FAR OFF ALASKA.
An Arizona Miner off for the Gold
Fields on the Yukon.

Fields on the Yukon.
The following letter is from David W.
Neil, well known all over Arizona as a
miner and prospector. In the seventies
he worked in Mohsve county where the
writer first knew him, but of later years
he mined and prospected in the neigh
borhood Of Harshaw and Tombstone.
He also worked for year or more in the
Southern Pacific shops. He left here
two months ago for Alaska and by this
time is evidently far on his way to the
head waters of the Yukon. His letter is
dated at Juneau, April s, and Gays in
part
have arrived so far on my trip and
before plurging into the snow and ice
and leaving civilization behind, iDdeti-
nately, thought would drop you a
line.
From Frisco to Juneau is the most
pleasant trip Imaginable, but from Ju-
neau to the headwaters of the Yukon my
picnic has ended and now for knockout
blows.
Juneau ls the best and cheapest place
to outfit for any point in Alaska. Prices
are about the same as in Frisco Mer-
chants here know exactly what is need
eo and have everything in stock.
JuEesu is never trou bled with dust or
dry streets. Snow and ice at the present
writing, are piled up from two to four
feet when shoveled off of side walks.
The streets are a sheet of ice, snow,
mud and water, but for all this it's not
cold and with rubbers over boots or
shoes 1t is not unpleasant walking
around.
To all aboard for Yukon, l will say
| au revoir.

HERBERT BROWN. Manages.
APREM1uM ON ASSASSINATION.

The Spanish merchants of the city OF
Havana have, says the San Francisco
Bulletin, su bscribed fund of $4,000
which has been offered, With the sp-
proval of Gen. Weyier, in two prizes to
be won by asssssins. The fund is di-
vided into one sum of $4,000, which is
to be paid to the man Tor the family OF a
man if he fails to escape with his lte)
who assRssinates the patriot Gen.
Gomez; and into another prize OF $50, =
600, to be given under the same condi-
ticns for the assassination OF Gen.
Meceo.
This is a sample of Spanish methods
of warfare. We do not dwell upon the
sction of the men who have subscribed
to this fund. They deserve only to be
pitied. The suggestion doubtless emsn-
sted from the palace. Even il it did
not once the thing was on foot, who
ever its originator may have been, no
man approached would dare refuse to
indorse it, or be would be put on the
list OF suspected enemies of Spain,"
which Weylor keeps at the palace.
But there need be no fear OF this cow-
srdly plot being successful. Gomez ard
Msoeo know the enemy they are fight
ing. They have already lost three most
valuable officers at the hands of assas-
sins sent into their ranks by the Span
ish government, and extraordinary pre-
lection has been thrown around them.
Furthermore, they doubtless heard OF
this new offer for their own death be-
fore the news of 1t reached the United
States. The terrible death inflicted
upon the assassins who were successful
will be warning also to the other MUIR
derers Spain mas in her employ.
Gomez has already been killed five
times ia the Spanish official reports.
Maceo is a little ahead in the record,
having been killed eight times; but this
has been offset by Gomez having con-
sumption, pareeie, cancer and general
debility from old age, from each Of
which be is with more or less repuls-
rity given but months lease OF life
After all this it will be hard to believe
that either Gomez or Maceo is dead,
until he admits it himself.
These things have been harmless and
amusing, but the last effort to put these
patriots out of the way, assassination!

A FRENCH writer, who shows an exten
Give knowledge Of naval affairs, says the
great battle ships of England LOOK more
formidable than they are, and that their
training crews are insufficient in num-
bers and training. II all this is true it
applies equally to French ships. The
memory of Trafalgar and Nelson will
serve France wiser purpose than eny
disparagement of the enormous fleets of
Britannia, even if they have been un-
tried for years.

Ex-PREsIDENT HARRISON is still in
the ring of presidential possibilities.
He is not q seeker after the Office, but
il the Office seeks him-snd that is not
unlikely-he will accept it like a good
citizen with its burdensome responsible
lities. Indiana, it is certain, will press
his claims before the convention. In
disposition he is said to be cold and un-
sympathetic, but be made one of the
very best presidents the country ever
had.

A WASHINGTON letter says: 1t seems
difficult to believe that any man OF even
ordinary common sense would endorse
the scheme which is heralded as the one
upon which the democratic party hopes
to elect PRESIDENT this year. but such
men as Senator Harris, of Tenn, and
ex-Speaker Crisp, OF Ga, have been
publicly spoken of as endorsing it and
no denias have been made. So it is
presumed that they and the other demo-
Gratis mentioned in the same connection
do endorse the scheme, which is several
points worse than its very worst demo-
cratic predecessor. According to the
scheme, the democrats are to keep up
their present fight among themselves
over silver, and the majority OF the
Chicago convention ie to decide whether
a gold or silver candidate and platform
shall be set up. Whichever way the
convention goes the minority is to bolt
and put out a ticket and platform IN
accordance with its views. Then there
will be two democratic national tickets
in the field, one for silver and one for
gold, and just here the fine work of the
scheme is to begin. Only one set OF
democratic presider tial electors are to
be run in each state, the silver ticket to
have q clear field in those states in
which the silver sentiment IS be-
lieved to be dominant and the gold
ticket in those states where a mslo-
rity are likely to be for gold.
The originators of this scheme have such
a poor opinion Of the Intelligence of the
voters that they believe, or say they do,
that enough states can be carried by the
two democratic tickets combined to
make q majority in the electoral college,
snd they propose that they shall all be
cast for the ticket which has majority
of them. Now isn't that scheme
worthy of the party which has stood for
about every imaginable side of every
public question, and which has invaria-
bIy adopted a national platform that
ceuId be interpreted to represent the
views of voters radically opposed to each
other? Playing the voters for fools is a
old democratic g8me-nothing else kept
the south solid for years; but let them
try this double ticket game and the
democratic party will never have apoth-
er national ticket.
