Special Dispatch to The Call.

TACOMA, Jan. g. Southeastern Alaska towns, including Wrangel and Juneau, are greatly interested in what are described as mountains of gold ores found on the Gravina, Annette and Revillagigedeo islands of the Alaskan coast. Immense lodges of copper and gold ore have been uncov- cred on these islands. Some locations have been made, but enough territory remains where the foot of white man has never trodden, to Keep hundreds of prospectorS busy for many years. Soils Cohen, who has returned to WrangeI from a cruise among these islands, de- clareS that fortunes beyond the wild est dreams of avarice await their prac- tical and intelligent development Co., hen says:
 Tt seems extravagant to speak of mountains of ore, but that is exactly what describes these as well as the Prince of Wales and Mary's islands. Hundreds of thousands of tons of ore are practically ready for smelterS or stamp mills and may be shipped with out putting a pick beneath ground Ledges ten to fifty feet wide, extend from the beach to the base of the mountains several miles inland, rising in places in fantastic shapes like ruins of ancient castles. other lodges ex- tend beneath the salt water and may be stripped at low tide"
 Cohen's party blasted open several iedges, finding gold mixed with white quartz in each instance. They believe values will increase with depth, which is proven by development work done on number of Gravina Island claims, all of which show up we'll in free gold. Cohen says these lodges are compara- lively easy of access, being near land locked harbors having seven fathoms of water, with ideal mill sites and numerous waterfalls which will fur nish power for stamp mills. Yellow cedar is abundant for fuel. On Revil- lagigedeo, about Georges Inlet and Helen Bay, very rich free milling lodges have lately been located Gra- vina, the richest island. is thirty miles long and sixteen wide, lying along Nicholas Passage and Tongas Mar rows, from four miles opposite New Metlakahtla to sixteen miles above Ret chikan.

 Now comes the final move, the de- nouement of the quiet play that has been made from both sides of the con- tinent at the same time Captains Marchand and Baratin, with a number of other officers and a well-equipped es- cort of white and native troops, setting out last spring, secretly, as itWere, have pushed their way up through the Congo country via Bangui, Ahiras and Semio, over the divide to the head waters of the Bahr- l-Ghazil, floating down which in a, vessel which they have car ried with them in parts, and set up on Its banks, have, 1t is said, reached Fashoda, on the White Nile. A little later in the spring M. Bouchamps, who went with Ambassador Legarde to Abyssinia, with the favor and assist ance of Negus Menelik, set out from Djibouti, the French port on the Gulf of Alden, and made his way via Harar and Groa westward to the Nile, and meeting the Marchand. party at Fa- shOda raised the French standard and proclaimed the sovereignty of France over the whole region traversed from sea to sea.
 All this has been done so quietly that not even the subordinate officials of the French Government were aware of the plans, and while Sir Hubert Kitchener, with his Egyptian army has been lying practically idle at Berber, 300 miles from Khartoum, where the Mahdi holds his seat of government
 The control of the Egyptian Soudan down to the lakes and the establish ment of connections from Cairo via Khartoum and Victoria Nyanza to Mombasa on the Indian Ocean, has long been the aim of England To achieve it she has from first to last spent much blood and nearly Z 200, ,000,- 900. The French, by winning Emperor Menelik on the one side and a we'll timed, a well conducted dash from the other, have planted themselves on the ground, and everything indicates that they mean to hold their position Large stores and war supplies have been accumulated at Djibouti and a railroad put under construction via Harar toward Fashoda- A Frenchman, M. Lioutiff, has been placed by Meme lik in the governorship of Southwest Abyssinia, fronting the British on the south.
 Menelik has before measured swords with England and come off with honor In securing his alliance France not only gets short access from the sea to the Nile, but ready and strong arm as well. She has completely outgener- latter withdraw from the field? The question will soon be answered. AL ready the word has gone forth and Sirdor Kitchener's columns are run ming their advance southward toward khartoum. Should they find the French there before them the clash will surely come
