rio yesterday. Benham bought a pet fox on Saturday and had him in a small cage. Sometime on Sunday he escaped, but the boys finding it out got Benham to lead party of ladies out to the cage to see the fox. There was nothing there but a few gray hairs on the slats to show where he had squeezed through, and a thorough search of the wood yard failed to show him up. So if any one has a pet fox on hand that they can't find an owner for he belongs to the Curio, corner Second avenue and Jefferson street.

English Boats, Keep of.

The Queen City, small steare er that halls from Vancouver, and is ohed by an English company and manne by Canadian or English crew, mad her initial trip to this country last week. She had small passenger list, aId, we understand, can only accommodate 8 few. Whether the passengers wce>fed on rotten fish and second class grub, which is the usual fare on Eglish boats, we don't know, but we will wager good hat that Americans will fae ten times as we'll on straight AmSican ship. A few months ago, an EIklish vessel landed at Fort Wrangel oI her way down and the passengers wen to the town restaurants and paid pr square meal. We forget the nam of the boat. She was fine looking ves- sel and that is what fools so many beo- pie. If you are going to the Sound ake Pacific Coast Steamship Go. steamer, or that of some other American Inc, and you will get good quarters md first class meals.

Always Solemn.

Every race of beings has it's pecul- iarities and the most striking of the Alaska Indian, is solemnity. Wher- ever you find the Indian you will ob- serve that same grave expression on his countenance. We have seen him at the dance where ''joy was uncontined," with the feathers flying in every direc- ton and the dancers jumping, kicking and putting in such manner as to sat isfy the desire of the most enthusiastic and ardent spectator, but rot smile was visible. We have seen him by the side of coffin that held that which is supposed to be nearest and dearest to humanity, civilized or uncivilized, and yet the same pensive look was upon his face that we observed at the dance. We have seen him at the grave, and as the dull, heavy thud of the clods of earth covered the remains of wife or child, his solemnity seemed no more appar ent than when he was roaming through the forest in search of game.
 We saw young Indian and his wife coming towards us on the sidwealk the other day. Just ahead of them was their little two and half year old babe which was slowly toddling along. They were both intently watching the child. It was their first They were well dressed and among the brightest of

 They are a sorrowful appearing race and if you ever observe an expression of mirthfulness on their countenances it is the exception and not the rule.

Deputy Collector Thomas Back. His Talk with
 the News Man.

Deputy Collector Thomas Back His Talk with
 the News Man.
 MT. w. c. Thomas, a resident of Alaska for the past twenty years, and his most estimable wife, returned to this part of Alaska recently. Mrs. Thomas had gone from Fort Wrangel to Juneau to meet her husband. MT. Thomas is direct from Kodiak where he was deputy collector, having also served in the same capacity in other portions of Alaska Mir. Thomas was seen at his residence at Wrangel by a News man, and when asked concerning some of his Alaska experiences said:
 "I went to the Sand Point custom house on Popof island, in May, 1894, and remained there until May, 1896, at which time the custom house was changed to Unga, on Unga island. In May, 1896, I was transferred to Kodiak island, the distance between the two being about 300 miles,"
 "That must be great country up there" suggested the writer.
 "Yes, Unga and Popoff islands are treeless. The country is low and there are no impediments to check the wind. Goldfish are in abundance and two cur ing stations have been there for years. The Appollo mine is located about four miles from Unga with forty stamps and good output"
 "rhat must be a great place for thought and reflection. How terribly lonesome you must have been up there" said the News man.
 "No, not near so much as one would imagine. One becomes accustomed to it and the time flies as rapidly as any where. We had quite little town at Kodiak and, strange to say, there never has been saloon there. The people supported me in keeping the liquor business out of the town. At Kodiak, the climate is about the same as it is in Fort Wrangel. l wish to tell you also about some tree culture up in Un- alaska. Twenty years ago some one planted three trees at that place and they are all alive, but have not grown a particle. The place where the trees are planted is called the grove.'"
 Mr. and Mrs. Thomas showed the writer beautiful collection of pho to- graphic views taken in that part of Alaska. MT Thomas has kindly con- sented to give the News another inter- view concerning that country which we know will interest our readers.

McGINTY IN SIGHT.
Narrow Escape of the Utopia on Her last UD Trip. Tied Up at the Wharf. Did She
 Violate the Law.


 Violate the Law.
 The little Sound steamer Utopia came near, awful near, going to see Nc Ginty at the bottom of the sea on her last trip up and that she escaped the misfortune, borders closely on the mi raculous. She made the trip up with out mishap until she reached a place about twelve miles this side of Cape Fanshaw, at which place, where the channel is very wide, lamp upset in the captains cabin, which set the bed clothes on fra, which spread very rap idly and soon burned the ropes of the steering gear. There being no other provision on the boat for steering, she rolled heiplessly in the sea.
 The confusion was intense among the passengers, but the officers finally launched the life raft which was at once pounded to pieces by the waves. A boat was next lowered and passen- ger jumped into it, but the waves dash ed it to pieces and there was one less of the passengers. By this time the crew got the hose coupled on and the pumps into action and the fire was speedily eXtinguished and order was restored. The steering ropes were re- paired and the plucky little boat made another start for this place, but luck was still against her, and when she reached Taku inlet, about fifteen miles from this city and while in a place of shelter, her wheel struck something and off went two of her propeller blades, and within a few minutes off went the third blade and then she was in fix; she commenced drifting towards the rocky beach, but as good fortune would have it, the Farallon happened to- be coming along and she took the disa. bled boat in tow and safely brought her to Juneau, where she now lies help less and forlorn.
 If our understanding of the United States laws is correct, every boat, and especially that class which carry pas sengerS, is required to be provided with relieving tackle, that is tackle which can be attached to the rudder lever so that in case the ropes are part. ed or destroyed, the boat may still be steered by this extra gear We under stand the Utopia is running without this relieving tackle and if so, why? Perhaps the Seattle inspectors, who frequently do some very careless work, can explain the matter. If, as we are informed, the Utopia has been violat- ing the law, in the manner indicated. the cause for being allowed to do so should be made known.

Her Troubles Ended.

Some months ago the little steamer Diana was libeled at Fort Wrangel at the instance of party named Barclay. Artwick Dahl is master of the vessel and he contested the action for all he is worth. The facts of the case were that the boat was chartered for prospecting purposes and in this enterprise Bar clay the plaintiff was interested as a partner. Judge Sundmacher, of Fort Wrangel, was appointed by Judge Johnson to take the evidence and sub init findings, which was done, resulting in recommendation that the action be dismissed, which was confirmed by Judge Johnson, last Monday.
 Capt. Dahl, when seen by a News man was very jubilant over the result of the action, and is especially pleased with the work in getting this ground less, though vexatious suit, dismissed.

Where Is It?

Douglas City is located on Douglas island and joins the town of Treadwell, where the greatest stamp mill in the world is operated. The towns of Doug las City and Treadweu have all the branches of trade represented within their limits and every dealer is doing prosperous business. The population is between 25OO and 5000 people, and the pay roll at the mines reaches close to 800 men, which, however will be in creased to 1900 or 2OO0 within the next six months. There is one wharf at Douglas City and one at Treadwell. These towns are two and one half miles from Juneau and ferry boat plies between the towns making five trips day, but which will soon be in creased. New buildings are going up in every direction and there is not an empty store room or dwelling in town. Rents are reasonable. The supply of carpenters seems to be inadequate to the demand. The business men are all live, prosperous men and here to stay. Money for any public enterprise is lib- erally supplied. A new $500 church is now in course of construction. If you want to come to Alaska, come to the future great town of the district, Douglas City and Treadwell.

IL Blew.

4 severe wind storm has prevailed in these parts for the past week, and it made things howl. The News office opened for business in new building with an uncompleted chimney, and for two days and a half we were smoked out of house and home. A galvanized extension was put up by contractor Boyce last Sunday afternoon but at about Il o'clock that night it blew down and scared three hours of sleep and seven brilliant ideas out of the senior editor. A coal famine has also prevailed in the city and the wood we were able to get was too wet to burn. But this did not end our trouble; OUT foreman spent an hour trying to find a clean spot on our office towel and We lost that time also. Considering the difficulties encountered, we feel thankful that we have been able to is sue this number before the holidays.
 The Al-Ki was in port last week and brought up full cargo of freight. She did not go any further north than this place. She had her whistle with her and believed and bawled around the four wharves nearby for three or four days and then slid out for Seattle.
