IS NOT THEIR FAULT,
That the Street and sidewalk Grades DO

pirate $3.50 for the regarding Of that
portion of the street. SO that they may
comply with the ordinance directing
them to lay sidewalks.
When the city engineer gave sidewalk
lines IL was found that the grade Of the
street was 50 high that the laying Of
walks would be useless expenditure of
money. The property holders have al
ready paid for grading the street once

Gold Mining In the Territory
Promises Big Returns

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-James Sheakley.
governor of Alaska. in his annual report to
the secretary Of the interior, says
mere is great encouragement in the out
look for the Alaskan gold mines During the
year ending the first of this month 81 800 900
In gold bullion has been taken from the
mines, the greater part being the product Of
iow-grade ores, much of which yielded less
tnan % per ton Almost any grade Of gold
ores now can be worked at a profit there
Confidence in Alaska as a gold producing
country increases with the development Of
her resources. number Of gold -bearing
quartz lodges and placer deposits have been
discovered in the Sitka district and several
The gold placers of the Yukon region con-
tinue to attract attention of gold miners and
fortune-seekers, but no rich discoveries have
been reported from there.
Several wild reports, the governor says
have started rushes of several thousand seek
ers to the Cook inlet gold field during the
summer, but only to meet disappointment and
hardship, and the people are getting back out
OF the district. The governor believes, how
ever, that there are paying gold deposits
there. The reports make plea for the re-
peal Of the present liquor prohibition law
which has been demoralizing in it's effects
and is violated in every community and
urges the enactment Of a high license law, with
suitable safeguards. On the subject Of the
FUR seal agreement the governor says:
The concurrent regulations, agreed upon by
a majority of the tribunal of arbitration for
the protection OF the fur seal in Boring sea
have entirely failed to afford the intended
protection or to prevent the destruction of
these animals. Pelagtc sealing in any way
will result in the determination of the entire
race within few years"
The governor deprecates the cost of the
expensive and burdensome patrollng now
necessary as exceeding all the net profits of
pelagie sealing, even if the latter were harm
less.

Superior Board of Trade Kicking
ON Inspection.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Oct. 23.-The
kick against the very Indifferent man
ner in which the provisions of the
treaty" entered into when the Super
Tor board OF trade withdrew the Wis
ccnsin system of weighing and inspect
ing wheat and consented to again al
lew the representatives Of the Minns-
sofa railroad and warehouse commits
sion to do business on this side of the
bay, Is becoming very general in grain
circles. The man who says IT told you
SO" is making his appearance, and
there are some who already advocate
another whfrl at Wisconsin inspection
or favor the Superior board of trade at
least taking some action which will
bring the outside grain and elevator
men to q realization that the Wiscon-
sin warehouse law is still on the stat
ute books and can be placed back into
effect whenever the board of trade
here desires 1t.
The principal protest entered Is that
the elevators and mills are not giving To
the local board Of trade the promised
support. 1t was agreed that if the Su-
perior board OF trade would restore the
Minnesota grades In this city, the ele-
vators would open offices on the Su-
perior board and maintain at all times
a representative who would buy wheat
offered by the local commission men.
The mills also were to give the Su-
perior board Of trade the preference in
the matter of buying wheat for their
own consumption, but with the excep-
ton Of one or two mills the Superior
board is ignored entirely
This is making several classes of
citizens very hot, but as yet no definite
steps have been made to pull the
string which President Kennedy, of
the board, said when the settlement

Area and Seem to Live Happily.
Harper's Magazine
Inhabitants? Indians, coyotes, rattlesnakes
rabbits, prairie dogs and Mormons in the
heart Of it; while along its borders and in
the valleys where water Is or can be brought
are ranchmen with stout hearts-as need there
is to wiring livelihood from this desolate
frontier. Villages there are in favored places,
and a few towns, with faces firmly toward
the twentieth century to the utilities
while the amenities are but ftfully in evil
dence.
The Indians who inhabit this region are of
two types. In the upper. middle portions are
the Utes and Navajoes, the relics of nomadic
tribes, but wandering legally no longer, save
within the confines of their reservations.
More scattered are the Pueblos or Village
Indians, living much as they did when the
Spaniards found them, centuries ago, in
their great communal storied houses of stone
or adobe. OF these Pueblo Indians, the Mo
quis, far away from anywhere" in the
heart Of the land of which l write, are the
tons; while the Zunis Acomas, Lagunans
and Isletans, to the south and east, and q
dozen or so fading remnants Of once powerful
groups strung along the upper reaches Of
the Rio Grande, are variously and frequently
viciously tinged with ways and folies of the
white man.
All over this great stretch of country so
hot In its untempered summer sunshine that
you wish you had not come, bewitching in
It's skies and clouds and atmosphere and hills
that not for worlds would you have stayed
away are the ruined homes Of the forgotten
people. You will find them at the doors OF
Navajo wickiups, deep in the wilderness,
where old women sit weaving blankets in the
SUM- You will find them hundreds of miles
from the white mans dwellings the red
mans haunts. Sometimes on high plateaus,
sometimes in broad valleys sometimes hung
along the crags of well-nigh inaccessible can
yons, or perched, It may be, in dizzy security
atop some gigantic rock, which rises sheer
and solitary above the plain, over which 1t
has kept so long unheeded vigil.
