FACTS ABOUT ALASKA
GOVERNOR BRADY SUBMITS HIS RE-
PORT TO SECRETARY BLISS.
Settlers i'm Need of Land Laws-The
Rich in Yellow Nuggets.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22-The report Of
John G.. Brady, Governor of Alaska for the
past fiscal year has been submitted to the
secretary of the interior 1t estimates the
present population at 1000 natives and TO-,
600 whites; predicts that with reindeer
transportation mails can be sent all over
Alaska during the winter, and recommends
that SlO0, 900 be appropriated for government
buildings and $4,000 for schools. 1t says
nothing has so retarded Alaskas substan-
tial growth as the helplessness of settlers to
obtain titles to their homes, on account of
the failure of Congress to extend the general
land laws, and urges Congress to create a
commission of five, one senator, one repre-
sentative and three bona fide Alaska resi-
dents to codify the laws for Alaska. The
secretary of the treasury is urged to con-
fine the hunting Of sea offers to the ma
tives, for 'if the white man is not shut off
at once the Aleuts will have to be cared
for by the government"
Reviewing sold operations, Governor
Brady says: "Shipload after shipload of
gold seekers and their freight has been
rushed to the extreme limit of salt water
navigation 0ynn canaD, and there they
have been literally dumped on the beach,
some above high water land many below
as they learned to their sorrow when the
water covered them as they slept. The
gold seekers have had a terrible time, but
they are brave, and started out to endure
hardships. AS class they rank far above
the average manhood of the country. Ska
quay is being built up rapidly. Lumber is
in demand, and lots are selling high as
1,500 Americans are anxious to secure q
route to the Yukon which shall be entirely
on United States territory. Different par
ties are now out, and are carefully examin-
ing the mountains between Yakutat and
Cook inlet. This is the third season of the
work in Cook inlet. The excitement over
the Klondike has drawn amany away from
that district; nevertheless, the output Of
gold this year will be no mean sum. The
possibilities of the whole region bordering
upon this inlet and the Prince William
sound will draw crowds of adventurers in
the near future"

ARTIST DEMENTED.
Leo w. We'll. Magazine Illustrator and
photographer, Temporarily Insane.

CHICAGO, Oct 22.-Christian science is
said to have unbalanced the mind of Leo
w. We'll. whose transfer to the detention
hospital was noted last night. We'll gained
a wide reputation for his discoveries in
photography and as a magazine illustrator
1t was his desire to visit Kansas City to
see Miss Judson, Christian scientist, that
brought him into the hands of the police
He visited a loan office to secure money for
that purpose and became involved in a fight
with the pawnbroker The reason for his
intense interest in the subject he declared
was that his life was saved by the applIca-
ton of the science This his friends deny
saying that his enthusiasm arises out OF
continuous association with believers in the
cult. LII is believed that the aliiicton he is
suffering will prove a temporary derange-
ment
We'll has enjoyed association with Presi-
dent McKinley's family, and while delirious
he insisted that they be notified of his con-
ditiOn. We'll was for some time connected
with the Cosmopolitan Magazine and his
pictures are familiar to magazine readers
He upset the theory that the subject should
visit the studio of the photographer, and
was the originator of the idea that the best
work could be procured by taking picture
amid the customary surroundings of the
subject. He has done much to perfect
fiash-light photography. and, following his
favorite theory, never had a studio. Presi-
dent Mckinley was so pleased with his
work that he gave him copyright privileges
of pictures of himself and family.

ANOTHER RICH FIELD.
The MinOOk River Valley May Prove
to BE a. bonanza


SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 22.-James Deit-
rick, a miner of experience in California,
South America and South Africa, has just
returned from Alaska, where he spent some
time in the Minook river valley. He says:
While there have been three hundred
claims staked out on the streams at Mi
nook, Hunter, Hosier Miller and Chapman,
there is little known about any but Little
Minook. On the Little Minook the mile
of claims which have been opened have
proved very rich. The pay streak is from
eight to twenty feet wide and six to twenty
feet deep. 1t is all gravel wash. That is
an evidence to me that the quartz will be
seam or pocket With the Birch and Mi
nook districts filed the prospectors will
have to get into the rush to the Drekel
creek and Koyukuk river district. The lat
ter valley is LOCO miles long, and rich ter
ritory is found some distance up the
stream. This is now reached by tramping
over the mountains from Northampton, a
distance of $50 miles across two mountain
ranges. With three sledges and seven dogs,
two men can only take in one sledgeload
of provisions, the other two being required
to carry food for the dogs This prac-
tcally keeps all men out of the district.
A letter from Rampant City, Alaska, the
center Of the Mnook district says: Dep
uty Collector Ross, of Circle City, had
made investments in the new fields. d. F.
Baxter and O. c. Johnson have purchased
No. II on Minook. James ID. Booge, of
Sioux City, and II. E. Hubbard, of Chicago,
bought the Discovery claim for 5000. BaX-
ter has also purchased a half interest in
Hunter. No. g. on Minook, is the claim
out Of which, it is asserted, 122 ounces were
taken in thirty working days. The owners
have refused $4,000 for this claim, but will

NOT ENOUGH FOOD.
Captain Hooper Says KIondiI<e Miners
May Starve This Winter.

May Starve This Winter.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Captain Hoop
er, commander of the Bering sea patrol
fleet, who has arrived in Washington to
attend the seal conference, said to-day that
the reports concerning the scarcity of food
in the Klondike region are not, in his judg-
ment exaggerated In the neighborhood of
Dawson City there are, he said, about 5000
miners. whose supply Of provisions for the
coming winter is no greater than barely
sufiiced for half that number during last
winter. Great suffering will be the in
evitable result of this scarcity of food AL
though some of the more vigorous among
the miners might attempt to get away on
the ice Of the Yukon, the chances were that
o considerable number of these would per-
ish from exposure. All of the passes were
practically closed some weeks ago, and
many hundreds of miners are now camping
along the different trails with little or no
shelter and with insufficient food supply.
Late reports, Captain Hooper said indi-
cate that rich discoveries have been made
on Minook creek, a tributary of the Yukon,
which empties into it about zoo or 500 miles
from it's mouth. If these new fields prove
as rich in gold as is anticipated, he thought
the congestion in the Klondilxe region
would be relieved as soon as spring opened.
M1noOk creek is comparatively within easy
reach of St. Michael'S, as steamers have
little difficulty in ascending the river to
that point, when navigation above it is i'm
possible on account of the low water 1t
was near Minook creek that the last Klon-
dixie steamer was compelled to unload her
cargo OF provisions, so that the miners in
that section are in little danger of the food
famine that threatens other camps.
Captain Hooper expects a great rush of
people into the gold region as soon as
tales told of the immense gold deposits will
be fully verified.

NAVAL Ordnnnce WnrI..

WASHINGTON, Oct 22-The annual re-
port of Captain Charles O'Neil, chief of the
naval ordinance bureau, shows that large
amount of work has been done by this
branch of the naval establishment
during the past year. Out of 735
great guns authorized by Congress, the
bureau up to date has finished 536 and has
1863 in process of manufacture. No change
has been made in the system of naval gun
construction during the year nor is any
recommended by Capt. Q'Neil, who points to
the fact that the guns in use have given
entire satisfaction. The conversion of the
ordinary six-inch guns into rapid-fire guns
has begun, eight have been completed and
nineteen more are in process of conversion.
The bureau has made a change in the ball
for the small rifle-the six millimeter gun
and instead of using a steel jacketed ball
one clad in timed copper is used This
change prolongs the life of the gun from
three to ten thousand rounds.
Under the head of armor Captain O'Neil
says that the government can purchase
arInor more cheaply than it can manufac-
ture it and regards the making OF armor
as a proper adjunct OF great commercial
steel plant.

every night Last Friday he arrived at
New Rochelle and knew that if he jumped
OF the train among the first he would reach

or him. Just as the train slowed up at
New Rochelle the comedian, laden down
with bundles like your true suburbanite
dashed out on the platform and down the
steps. At this moment Carl Eckert portly
trombonist, of Port Chester, in gorgeous
uniform, started to board the train. AS a
matter of course the comedian and the mu-
sician collided with some force. "Oh,
beg your pardon" said Mr.. Wilson, as he
continued on his course
You bet you'll beg my pardon" said Mr.
Eckert with emphasis, at the same time
giving Mr.. Wilson kick.
When Mr.. Wilson realized the awful in
dignity that had been heaped upon him he
dropped his bundles and drawing off landed
his right fist bang on Mr.. Eckert's nose.

pened- There was quite a commotion for
a few minutes but friends drew Mr. Eek
ert into the door, and Mr.. Wilson with a
