THE GOLD FIELDS.

From the many reports that have reached us concerning the recent dis covery of gold on the Hootalinqua river, we are convinced that the prec- ious metal has been found in abun- dance, and a rush to the new Eldorado will certainly be made There have also been some discoveries made up the Stikeen river, on the American side, and men are working for good wages there now. Reports reach us from every direction concerning placer and quartz propositions, and with the amount of prospecting that is being done, we look for a good, healthy mining boom for Fort Wrangel and the surrounding country in the near future. The coun- try around Dawson was prospected for years before the rich discoveries were made. The gold is in the hills and streams, and will be discovered. It is only a question of time.

FORT WRANdEL.
What We Eat, Drink and Burn.


 How little the people of the East know about Fort Wrangel and South eastern Alaska. If those in the middle and western states were told that it is not near so cold in the winter, or so hot in the summer in Fort Wrangcl as it is in Ohio, Illinois, Kansas or Nebraska, they would not believe you, and yet such k the case. There are few other things that will be news to our eastern readers. We have uo horses in the town and all draying is done with two wheel carts, drawn by hand. The reason for this is, that We have no streets The town has been building for twenty-five years, and not until within the past six months has survey been made of the town site. We have but few wells in the place, and people get water from springs, which is as soft as rain water Tine town has dairy, and we get the best milk on earth, the grass being fine. The whole country is covered with tim Der, and wood is the principal fuel There is no coal mined in Alaska. Game is abundant, especially deer Wild ducks, geese and grouse are plentiful Crows and eagles are seen everywhere, but we don't eat them. Clans are the finest to be found any where. Crabs are of the best quality. As to fish, why, we are right '.in ltn Just think of a halibut steak off of d fish that weighs 125 pounds. No bones to monkey" with, and the meat as white as snow. Salmon, smelts, cod, herring, founders, mack erel and sole-you can have to your hearts content.
 The rise and fall of the tide is from twentytwo to twenty-eight feet, and the old pond is the finest kind of a place to dump garbage in.
 One thing we boast of in particular, and that is that Fort Wrangel is one of the healthiest places on earth, and es- pecially so for weak, scrawny, worn out women. You ought to see some of these eastern women when they come here, and then take look at them a few months later We have one in mind now. She came here completely played out. No appetite for either eating or sleeping, as thin as rail and fifteen inch belt was not too tight for her. Within three days after arriving in the town she commenced to eat and her ap- petite within q month was one of the wonders of the world. She slept four teen hours day, and now, after three months residence, she is we'll and hearty, and has a waist on her like a work OK. The writer has lived in this place little less than a year, and we can truthfully say, that for both men and women, it is one of the healthiest places that can be found.

PR AIsE FOR TIE NEWS.

\ friend of the News. who resides in this city, paid years subscription and ordered it sent to relative in the east, received letter from him last week iu which the appearance of this paper was spoken of in a very complimentary manner The question was also asked. "How We could publish such good pa per iu Fort Wraugcl" Well, the busi ness men in this city are showing their appreciation of the News by giving it all the patronage they can afford to, and the News is not going back on them. eyenif there is no remuueration for our work. but Fort Nrargel will commence booming one of these days, and then we will be in it. 'ort Wrangel is q good town and is entitled to one good paper. and we arc going to give it to them.

Those Beans.

Our readers will remember that some time ago Messrs Case S Wilson adver- tised in the News that they had sealed up glass jar of beans and that the person guessing nearest the number would be entitled to prize, which was a beautiful center table worth about thirty dollars. The beans were count ed and the guesses invoiced last week and Mrs. Murphy, of the Cottage bak- cry, was the lucky winner. The table is still on exhibition at the store and is d beauty.

WHAT WE THINK OF HIM.

We notice by the Seattle papers that Edward Cudihee will probably be a can didate for sheriff of that county. We have known Ed. in an official capacity for four years, during which time we worked together in the unpleasant task of running down criminals and con victing them, aud we believe we are competent to judge of his merits as d man and officer, and if he should be nominated the people ought to elect him regardless of what his politics may be. A better and more faithful officer never held place of trust, and as d man and citizen, there is no better. The fact is that Ed. always does what is right. He never stretches the truth, as many detectives do, to convict a man he has taken into custody, and during his long service on the police force of Seattle he has continuously maintained a reputation for honesty and fairness. From all we can learn Mr. Mover has been good officer and we are not in- tending to say anything against him, but if Ed. Cudihee receives the nomi- nation, we hope he will be elected, and if honesty, faithfulness and compe- tency counts with the voters of King county, he will be.

HAVE FOUND U.

j. k. Wilson. Wm. Bullock, R. C. Deihl and Ned Simpson left town the first part of the week. They knew just where they were going. for they had been there before. They will be gone about ten days, and when they come back they will have some gold. Where they are going We don't know, but it is not very far from Fort Wraugel. \ News man talked with some of the above named gentlemen, and this much we can say. they have made a good strike and no doubt it will make them all rich.

Got Mixed on C0rpses.

\ ludicrous, though shocking scene, occurred at Cincinnati, O., Saturday, when the remains of Mrs. Elizabeth Winkleman were to be lowered to the grave. Mrs. Winkleman died in New York and sister of the deceased, who had just arrived from another town, de- sired farewell glimpse of the remains The casket was opened, and instead of an aged lady in it, it was found to be the remains of an officer of the army. It was discovered that the baggage agent had made a mistake and sent the remains of Mrs. Winkleman on to Kan sas, and sent those of Captain w. D. Sherman, of Seneca, who was wounded at Santiago and who died in New York, to Ohio. The blunder was discovered soon enough to intercept the remains of the old lady on their way west, and prevent similar scene in Kansas. The remains of the old lady were being ac- companied on their journey to Kansas by Miss Wyer, who was engaged to marry Captain Sherman, and who reached his bedside few hours after he died.

IMPRESSIONS OF THE EAST.

A Salem Banker Talks Of Universal Big
Crops and Other Matters.
A. Bush. the Salem banker, is home
from two months sojourn ia. the
New England and Middle states.
In general conversation. with Mr.,
Bush following impressions we're OBJ
tained: He says tne war interferes
with all lines Of business. Manufact-
urers say they have not made any
money for three years, and many
factories are shut down. They say
there2is too much machinery. ImJ
Drovements made In the last few
years do away with more and more
hands. The manufacturers are ask .
ing for freer trade and an enlarged
market. The next move for tariff
revision will come along the line of
less restrictions on trade, and extern
sion OF trade. We cannot compete
with countries that do not tax raw
materials.
New York, Boston and Chicago all
complain OF dull times. IL was not
local but general. The wneat harvest
was fully on In western NewYork, and
L was surprised at the crop there. In
mop region 1t looked as II they had
more bare poles than anything else,
and the foliage is much lighter.
There Is no section we heard Of, from
Oregon to the Atlantic, where there
we're any short crops. In fact there
Is the greatest abundance of every
thing. We came through on the Great
Northern railroad and as tar as the
eye could see there was as fine stand
VI spring wheat as l eyer saw. Once
In a while field OF winter wheat was
harvested.
1t Is safe to say that no such crop of
grain was ever grown as will be pro-
duced this year all over our country.
Fhe hay crop in all the states is i'm
mense. What puzzled me most was,
where did they get the labor to put In
all these crops?
There Is more war feeling In the
west than In the east. We noticed a
d decline in the display of bunting
and war spirit as we went east of
Chicago.
The expressions of feeling are more
reserved in the East. There is some |
regret that the war was not aVerted. |

over the East. The State of Iowa

cannot see why this should be, be-

He says 1t is remarkable how BIZ

is sold all over the east for $50.

Mr.. Bush enjoys keenly being back

while away to modify his well-known
opinion that we have the finest sum
