Our previous articles, especially that of
April rs, from earlier advices to Messrs.
Denslow, Ward & Co. of The Alaska Gold
verified to the fullest extent by Mr.. Will
liam A. Steel Of the San Francisco Call,
secretary of the Washington Press Assoc
citation. He says:
II spent two weeks cruising on Cook S
Inlet, and, from careful examination of
the existing conditions and authenticated
reports of developments and finds along
numerous creeks, am firmly of the opinion
that the proper kind OF men hazard no
chance in casting their lines into the gold
en- waters that flow into the inlet. Every
creek and river shows traces of fine gold
which increases in coarseness as the
streams are assembled, while pieces of
gold bearing quartz are frequently found
in placers, demonstrating that further
back toward the mountains are mother
lodges. Aurferous deposits cover a ter
ritory of almost unknown extent, while
prospecting thus far has been compare
lively slight.
''At Sitka, Fort kenai Kussilof, Coal
Point and other places on the inlet | met
and talked with prospectors who have
claims ON the creeks and worked them

$50 day.
"PHobably 1000 men are now on the
inlet waiting to get to the creeks, and sew
er; | hundred more are distributed at other
ports of entry waiting for spring to open.
Representatives of the Boston Alaska
Company, numbering sixty, have taken
possession of Coal Point, strip five miles
| long, laid out streets and called the town
Homer. A petition for a post office for
the place has been sent to Washington. A
fine quality of Ignite coal is found in in
exhaustible quantities in the hills. The
company will build railroad and bunk
ers, from which coal will be shipped to
San Francisco
The Boston Alaska Company spoken of
is The Alaska Gold Syndicate Company,
of which Messrs. Denslow, Ward & Co.
are the fiscal agents, but whose actual
operations on the ground are much more
extensive than described by Mr.. Steel,
their coal lands alone embracing forty
miles in extent on the coast, and their
! placer mines some twenty miles square.

of being unwell and after the first act they
went home.
When they arrived home Mr.. Fletcher
found his home in the possession OF the
members of the Point Lobos Club, and his
wife was fully able to welcome and enter

a purpose-to get the president away from
the theater to meet his friends, who had a
surprise for him.
When Mr.. Fletcher had taken off his
hat he was usnered into his own parlor,
and there James II. Dever. chairman of a
comm mittee which had been appointed for
the purpose, presented him with mark
of the friendship and respect of the men,

called attention to the former prosperity
of the club under Mr.. Fletcher, the waning
interest when he resigned, and the revival
of progress and improvement when he was
once more prevailed upon to assume con-
troll.

responded in fitting language. He

THE SUPERVISORS
REFUSE TO AID
Will Not Build a Sewer
System at the County
Hospital.
No Funds Are Available for
Such a Purpose at the
Present Time.
Dr.. Stable Intimates That the Insti.
tuition May Be Closed to the
INDECENT Sick.

Chairman Taylor of the Finance Com
mittee of the Board of Supervi-
sors told DR.. Stable, superinten-
dent of the City and County Hos
pital, plainly yesterday that the City
could not and would not furnish the funds
for the new sewer system for the institu'
tion which the Board OF Health demands.
DR.. Stable appeared before the committee
with Chief Plum bing Inspector Sullivan
to urge that something be done at once to
better the sanitary condition of the hos
pital.
He said that an epidemic Of typhoid
fever or other contagious or infectious
diseases was liable to break out at
any moment, owing TO the mass OF
sewage and filth that the broken and dis
jointed pipes had allowed TO flow under the
building. In fact, cases of typhoid had
already developed and no one was safe
from disease. There were no funds avail
able for the purpose at his disposal, he
said, and the Supervisors must do some
thing. Supervisor Taylor answered that
there were absolutely no funds in the City
Treasury that could be used for the new
system. and that while there was no doubt
that the matter needed immediate atten-
ton there was no help for it.
WELL" said DR.. Stable. ''if an epidemic
breaks out the Supervisors will have TO
answer for it. The hospital in its present
condition is more likely to kill patients
that come out there than to cure them.
II suppose We shall have to notify the
people that they cannot be treated there,
for it would be unjust to take sick man
into the building. Unless you gentlemen
find some way to fix those sewers we
shall have to fill up the trenches we have
dug to expose the broken pipes, and the
hospital will be in as bad condition as it
ever was"
Cant help it," said Supervisor Taylor,
"may be our successors will find some way
to furnish you with the money. 1t seems
curious that the Board of Health, after all
the money it has received at the hands of
the board, cannot do the work"
The Board of Health condemned the
hospital as unsafe for the purpose for
which it is used and passed a resolution
calling on the Supervisors or Legislature
to erect new ana suitable building.
1t is probable that, in view of the de-.
plorable condition of the sewers at the
institution and the refusal of the Super
visors to do anything in the matter the
hospital will be closed until an appropria-
ton can be obtained or a new building
erected.
