HOW THEY BURY AT cLoNDvKg.

The News editor was travelling some
time ago with miner from Yuyon
and among other things, learned from
him the plan of burying the dead up at
the gold fields.
When miner dies his comrades cut
sepulchre in the ice and deposit the
remains; they next cover them with
the fragments of ice taken out in the
cutting and then pour water over
these which quickly freezes leaving
the dead encased in clear crystal cas-
ket. Every day the miners can look
upon their dead, and as the ice never
melts the generations to come can look
upon the remains of those buried cen
turtles BlackfoOt News.

San Francisco, Aug. 16.-Mr. Thomas

to reach his destination.
While the routes were we'll known.
the details and conditions to be met
with were not considered, most Of the
searchers for wealth hoping to settle
all doubts and uncertainties when they
reached Juneau. Instead, however,
further confusion was created by the
appalling statements that there were
only two routes, each of which neces-
STATED the encounter of apparently in
surmountable difficulties. There were
plenty of advocates for both routes at
Juneau, but most of them were found
to be interested parties. The two start
ing points, Dyea and Skaguway, are
separated by four miles of salt water.
The Dyea trail goes over the Chilkoot
pass, which involves a climb of $500
feet, while the other, which is not vet
completed, has 1920 foot climb over
the White pass, and besides being six
miles longer, is DOGGY in places.
The Indians, who are the sole pack.
ers, .all pack over the Chilkoot pass
from Dyea. Nearly 500 pack animals
are now en- route and on arrival will
be organized into regular back trains
which will remove the chief obstacle,
for the transport of supplies over the
80 miles of land is much more for.
midable than that over the 500 miles of
water on the other side of the pass.

The resignation of Mr.. Dexter S.

by Mayor Flower and the police
board. There has been complaint
for some time, alleging ine1fi cheney

Mr.. Caster doesn't want TO re-

Mr.. Casters record is not bad.
Here is what the Times SD en- D
crat says Of it:
Superintendent Caster became
connected with the police depart
ment Of this city in 1867. In that
year he was made a patrolman on
the Metropolitan police, and was
promoted to corporal and then
sergeant. He resigned from this
force, and remained Off until 1877,
when he was again appointed
patrolman under Chief Boylan,and
was detailed in the detective Office.
In a very short while he was made
a detective, and held that position
until made superintendent of po-
lice on January %, 1891. He
served under Badger, Boylan,
Rowley, Adams and Bachemin.

ILL HONOR TO THE JUDGE

cases where, as individuals, they
would, if necessary. take part in
forming Judge Lynch's court.

type Of hypocrisy to expect him 10

devotion to home and home re-
