Two parties OF railroad surveyors, ag-
on the mountain passes on the coast OF
alaska making preliminary surveys for
q railroad to the headwascrs OF the Yu-
kon river. They have been sent out
within the last six weeks by company
formed through the efforts OF the finan-
cial firm Of Close Bros. & Co.. of London
and Chicago. While the promoters OF
the enterprise have not as yet determined
the route they will follow in crossing the
coast range to the lakes. they have gone
so far as to purchase 1000 tons of stee,
rails and large quantity OF ties. which
are now awaiting shipment to the north.
Three weeks ago the Post-Yntelligencer
told Of the visit to Seattle Of Sir Thomas
Tancred. an eminent Eng;isn civil engi-
neer, and E. C. Hawkins, of Denver, we'll
known in the West as railroad builder
and a mining engineer. sir Thomas and
Mr.. Hawkins spent two weeks in invest:-
eating the merits of the White and Chill
koot passes with reference to railroad
building in Alaska. They kept their
opinions to themselves, and when they
returned they declined to make any state
ments whatever 10 newspaper men.
1t has developed within the last few
days that the enterprise IN which Sir
Thomas Tancred and Mr.. Hawkins are
engaged is backed by English capital, and
hal he In, no Gal4
with view of ascertaining the best route
for building railroad into the Yukon
country, and the probable cost. No ship
ment of the rails has yet been made. but
Ii is understood that they can be reached
readily and quickly when they are needed.
Mr.. Hawkins. who is general manager of
the company, arrived from Chicago Mon
day night, and is registered at the Raj.
n!er-Grand. A Post-Intelligencer reporter
asked Mr.. Hawkins last night for a state
which he is identified, and its intentions.
He said:
Without wishing to be tiiscourteous, I
must decline to make any statement what
ever for publication at this time. The
company with which, am connected is
not seeking any newspaper notoriety Our
plans have not yet been matured. and we
have nothing to make public at this time.
1t Is true that we have surveying parties
In the field. but no definite decision has
been reached as 10 the route to be follow
ed in case it is decided to build a rail-
road In Alaska. There is absolutely moth
ing to say at this time"
Mr.. Hawkins was very genial and ac-
commodating, but he was firm In declining
to supplement his statement with any fur
Their information. Tile Post-Intelligsncer
has learned, howevsr. that the company
Is perfecting plans TO build across either
the White or Chilkoot pass to the lakes
during the present season. The road will
be narrow gauge. Whether Dyea or Skag-
way will be chosen as the terminus OF the
line has not yet been determined, but 1t
will probably be the latter. II the Chill
koot route Is adopted the company will
build a tunnel through the mountains.
1t can be definitely stated that the oper-
atoms of the company will be directed en-
tirely from Seattle. After a weeks stay
here Mr.. Hawkins will go north.

A LARGE
CONTRACT.
Breckenridge County Flour Being
Shipped to Porto Rico.
Star r Her Mills, of this City, Sup
plying That rIarI<et.

Cloverport is enjoying the benefits Of
expansion. The acquisition of Porto
Rico has opened up a new market for
flour made in Cloverport. H. A. Oelze &
Bros, proprietors Of the Star Roller Mills,
OF this city, shipped carload of their
-four to Atlanta, this week, from where
it will be shipped to Pensacola to be
loaded on vessels and transported to
Porto Rico,
This is one OF series of consignments
that will be made during the coming
winter.
The Porto Ricsns use all grades of
-four and, there is demand for all the
brands turned out by the Star Mills.
The flour is shipped in huge burlap bags,
made especially for this use. The bags
will hold $50 and $50 pounds each Of the
''staff of life," and are similar to those
used for shipping wool, the difference
being in the fact that the meshes OF the
-four sacks are much more finely woven
and prevent the -four from sitting out.
The prospects are that the Porto Rician
demand for Breckenridge county -four
will increase as the market develops.
All the local product destined for ship.
ment to the Antilles will go by way oil
Atlanta, which promises, under the new
order OF things, to become one of the
largest exporting cities in the United
States.

The Only Boy In the World Who

A STUDENT OF THE HEAVENS

Breckenridge county has many bright
youths, but one, il he lives, will eclipse
them all as a scientist.
He is Isaac Whitworth, who lives at
Garfield, q little town on the branch
road, near Hardinsbuig. in this county.
Isaac is the editor, illustrator and
printer of a monthly paper called the
illustrated Monthly Weather Observ-
err" treating on astronomy, meteorolo gy
and the physical features Of the earth.
A copy OF this wonderful paper is now
in the possession Of the BRECKENRIDGE

Speaking OF Isaac Whitworth, the
Courier Journal says:
To boys owning printing presses it
may not seem very wonderful to edit

he does all the work with a steel pen.

Lawrence lived before the age OF print

He Has Indian Blood In Him, and
Knows All About "Varmints." =

One of Cloverport's most peculiar char
acters is Henry Fisher, half negro, half
Indian. Henry is very proud of the fact
that he has aboriginal blood in his veins,
and points with pride to his Cherokee
ancestors.
Fisher makes his living by doing odd
jobs about town, and by hunting and
fishing during the seasons.
Now that the cool frosty mornings
have made their appearance, Henry
can be seen trudging home from the
woods loaded down with opossums and
rabbits. He rarely uses a rifle, depend.
ing upon his snares, Ratchet, and his
knowledge OF woodcraft to bag his game.
The opossum crop is unusually large
this year, and, as the persimmons are as
thick as huckleberries in the forest, the
animals are feasting on them. They are
as fat as young shoats and their diet gives
their flesh a remarkably fine flavor.
Henry says they approach his ideal OF
perfection. During the course of the
year he traIs from 800 to 1000 rabbits
and opossums. He sells them to local
consumers, aud sometimes makes ship.
