EARTH GIVES UP HER GOLD.
\ Rich Placer Discovery Between
 Lakes Tagish and Teslin.
THE LATEST RICH DISCOVERY

sksguay and Dyes do Wild With Excitement.
 A Pleasant Outing. Curious Watches.
 Wanted A Help Lady In A Nnt-sheIl.
 AlaSkA's Interests. =church Calender.
 Every issue of the News has contain cd more or less mining news from the country surrounding Fort Wrangel and the editors have always contended that there was an abundance of gold, much nearer than the klondike, and that its discovery depended only on good pa tient work on the part of the many prospectors who are out in great num- bers with their picks and shoyels.
 A few weeks ago we reported a splen- did strike, only 20 miles from ketehi- kan, of free milling ore that would as say from fifty to seventy-fiy thousand dollars to the ton. So many of the samples of ore have been seen that there is no doubt concerning the al leged discovery and, in fact, fine, rich ore is daily exhibited in this city that is brought in by some hardy prospect or, and the surrounding country is sim ply proving to be what we have always claimed, one of the finest mineral belts in the world.
 The latest extraordinary find was re gently made between Lake Tagish and Lake Teslin. The truth of the discov- cry has been confirmed by a numbe of passengers who came down on the Cot tage City last Thursday. This strike is d placer discovery-the poor mans gold mine, and Skaguay and Dyea have, if we are correctly informed, simply gone wild, and we are told that there are not more than three able bodied men left in Dyea, all the balance hay ing gone out on the stampede, while Skaguay is a close second in the grand rush. The men who got in on the ground floor are making from 5000 to 5000 per man per day.
 This new discovery means much for this part of Alaska Not only that a new field has been discovered, but it demonstrates that the precious metal can be found in any and every part of the great district, and the good work will go on until every one may get it, and as Mrs. Meems said, ''git plenty"

Aiaska's Interests.

Gov. Brady left on the last steamer for two months trip to the Westward. He will go as far as the Seal islands and possibly to St. Michaels.
 The law makes it his duty to report on the condition of the islands and it is for this purpose, principally, that he makes the trip. He will also examine into the condition of affairs to the Westward. So many conflicting reports have been made in regard to the Yaku- tat and Copper River country that it is to be hoped that he will be able to look over this portion of Alaska and in his forthcoming annual report make cor rect statement as to how matters really are.
 It is the Governors desire to visit all parts of Alaska and examine into af- fairs, so as to be able to do his full duty. Gov. Brady is to be highly com mended upon the course he is pursuing -Sitka Alaskan.

HRANGEL BEAR HUNTERS.
Game on the Stikeen Which Was
 Not Brought to Town.
HUNTING IN ALASKA.

The Stikeen river k the hunters par adise and game of all kinds is quite plentiful. Hunting parties are ire quently formed for the fun of shoot ing deer, grouse and other small game, but it takes nerve to go in search of bear, and not all of those who leave town with guns put in much time after the king of the Alaska forests.
 Last Saturday three of our residents concluded they would take chances on old bruin, however, and having made preparations for several days stay started out in canoe for the hunting grounds up the Stikeen. They were Judge Jackson, Capt. Eldridge, MT. S. S. Crittenden and an Indian guide, named Stikeen Jim. They went up the river some eighteen miles to Salmon creek and followed up the latter for some distance. where salmon fish were running in great numbers and bear tracks were no less plentiful. The party early in the evening separated, each taking place that furnished a good and unobstructed view of the stream, and patiently waited for MT. or Mrs. Bear, as the case might be, to appear. While in these positions and as the daylight was gradually fading away, MT. Crittenden observed an enormous brown bear about fifty yards away in plain view, and he immediately sent fl caliber ball into him, which he thought went clear through the brute. It takes considerable lead to kill bear and no less than four bull lets were put into the carcass of the fleeing monster, who, however, made good his escape. The bear was esti- mated as weighing from ten to twelve hundred pounds and must have been a big fellow.
 In hunting expeditions some mem bers of the party are more fortunate than others and so it was in this in stance for the Judge and Captain Ed ridge did not get shot at Mr. Bear, but the party, however, returned with porcupine and number of ducks, which, though disappointing, was not an entire Scoop"

A Pleasant Outing.

The wife and daughter of the senior editor are indebted to Mrs. Thwing for a delightful excursion on the steamer Alaska, last Thursday. The journey was made most enjoyable by the genial Capt. Bell, who entertained the guests in royal manner.
 The trip was made to Bennett's camp and landing made there, where an hour or more was spent in gathering berries, picking up shells and enjoying the shade and the wide, sandy beach at that point The return trip was made in the cool evening, which was relieved from any monotony by slight disturb ance of the water occasioned by the approach of a storm. The following were guests of the Captain: Mrs. c. Thwing James Thwing, Mrs. Palmer, Mrs. A. G. Mcbride, May Mcbride and Capt. McBrierty. We must not forget to return thanks to MT. and Mrs. Dan forth for their kindness and efforts to make the trip a pleasant one. Mrs. Danforth provided sumptuous lunch at noon time, which was most heartily enjoyed and in many ways added to the comfort and happiness of the guests.

Curious Watches.

Among the watches owned by Mary Stuart was a coffin shaped watch in case of crystal. Probably the most re- markable one in her collection was the one which was bequeathed to Mary Seaton, her maid of honor. It was in the form of skull. On the forehead of the skull was the symbol of death, the scythe and the hour glass. At the back of the skull was Time, and at the top of the head was the Garden of Eden and the Crucifixion, The watch was opened by reversing the skull. Inside was representation of the Holy Fami- ly, surrounded by angels, while the shepherds and their flocks were wor- shipping the new born Christ. The works formed the brains, while the dial plate was the palate. She also possessed an- other skull shaped watch, but it is not known what became of it. Ladies' Home Journal.

A Brilliant Record.

Captain Schley commanded the third expedition for the relief of the Arctic traveller, Greedy, and his companions, and in June, 1883, effected the rescue of seven survivors at Cape Sabine, in Grinnell Land. He showed great en- ergy in getting them and had he been forty eight hours later not one would have been found alive. Congress re- warded Schley by bestowing upon him a gold medal. He was also selected to command the Baltimore when that yes sel was used to convey back to Sweden from America the remains of Capt. John Ericsson, the inventor of the monitor. Schley later visited Chile in the same ship and brought about an amicable settlement of a dispute between that country and the United States.
