Mr. Dana for his services during the civil war, he might often be in want even of the necessaries of life. He is by no means hermit, as some have called him, but is always ready with joke or aquip, and has kindly word for every one. Being aArarm advocate of free sil yer and Bryan, he has to stand a great deal of good-natured ehafiing from his republican neighbors. but it takes pretty quick-witted man to come out ahead of him in an argument
 For years the people hereabouts did not know how to take MT. Dana. He IS a man who enjoys converse ton, and his varied and eyentful career natural y furnished material for many an anecdote in which the narrator himself played an important part. Among his nelghbors, however, Mir. Dana's stories old not at first gain the credit to which Ihey were entitled. In fact, not until Lawyer J. II.

LINCOLN TERRITORY.
New Political Subdivision to be
Carved Ont of Alaska.

UNALASKA, September 30, via San Fran.
cisco, October 14.-Should the proposed ter.
ritory of Lincoln be created by the division
of Alaska, it will have as it's southeastern
boundary Mt. st. Elias. From that point
the eastern boundary will run directly
to the Arctic, which ocean will form the
northern boundary. The western boun-
dairy will likely run down the coast line
below St. Michael to the top of the di-
vide between the Yukon and continues to
Kokym river. The boundary on the south
will follow the cd parallel east to the
Copper river, where it will cut down to
St. Elias.
Should the division occur and the boun-
dary lines mentioned prevail, Alaska proper
would then include the Aleutian Islands,
the coaling stations of Dutch harbor and
Unalaska and the balance of the Alaskan
peninsula, the Island of Unga and its
quartz mines, Kodiak Island, Kanai PENN:
suIa and the placer mines of Cook Inlet,
Prince William sound and the placer mines
along the Copper river. the towns of Wran-
gel. Sitka, Juneau, Dyea, Skaguay and the
passes on the overland route to the Yukon.
With the new territory would be the ricer
placers of the Yukon as far east as the
boundary line. 1t would also include the
numerous settlements and trading posts
from st. Michael to Circle City, aggregating
a population at present Of over 1900 whites
and 5000 natives.

Capt. Herring Warns Intending Gold Seekers

SAN FRANCISCO, October 14.-Captain
Herring of the revenue cutter Thomas Cor
win states that many of the steamers &C.
ing up the Yukon are unseawcrthy. and ne
strongly advises prospectors, especially
those from the east, not to buy tickets on
any vessels until they are satisfied they
will be able to make the trip. When the
Ccrwin left St. Michael's, September
"a, the steamer Hamilton had started up
the Yukon. expecting to winter wherever
timber could be found. The Seattle, No.
l. was also going in, with Mayor Wood and
party She will also winter in the Yukon.
The w. r. Merwin, an old sidewheeler,
carrying 40 passengers. and the Mare
Island have started from Dutch Har5or for
winter quarters, but it is doubtful il they
will get further than st. Michaefs, as they
have sixty miles of rough water to cross,
and both are cranky river beats.
Quarrel Over Derths.
The steamer Eliza Anderson still remains
at Dutch Harbor, but her passengers have
gone on to St Michaers on the schooner Bar
onoff. They wanted to board the Merw!n,
but the captain declared he could not ac-
commodate them. They were persistent,
and wanted to draw lots with those al
ready on that vessel for the use OF sleep
iEg quarters. Upon the captain refusing
sengers became aggressive, and bloodshed
was only averted by the action OF CAPS
Herring who strongly advised all parties
against any breach OF the peace.
There is intense feeling against the pro-
moters of these winter expeditions to the
kiondike. and serious trouble may yet
occur.
Statements by Capt Herring regarding
the seaworthiness of the old river boats
sent to the Yukon are corroborated by Dr..
Sheldon Jackson.

from both north ard south. There are two
houses ready and another in course Of
construction, and food is said to be plenti-
full.
Steamer Portland Expected.
The steamer Portland may be expected
at Seattle about October 22. although the
Cleveland may come in her stead. as 1t is
doubtful which one will start first. The
steamer will bring the last batch of miners
who will leave the klondike for the winter
with the result of their seasons work. 1t
is possible that a large amount of treasure
may be brought. and the Bear has been Or
dered to act as the convoy to the first de-
parting treaSure-laden vessel from the

breaking up the gangs" into squads, and
then began a wild chase through the
streets and alleys, first one squad i'm pur-
