Tacoma, WASH, Dec. 2. Further in
formation Of the active volcano dis
covered in the Attn gold district of
British Columbia rs to the effect that
the volcano furnishes the miners q
light by which to. work their claims
during the long darkness of Arctic
winters. The glare from the spouting
lava, reflected against the sky, gives an
almost continuous twilight to the upper
end of the Atlin district.
All the passengers OF the steamer
Cottage City, just arrived from Alaska,
have stories to tell of the volcano, but
from DIR. w. b. Kinslowe, who has
been making an examination of the
Atlin country, comes the best and APP
parently most authentic desert ption Of
the Alaskan Vesnyius.
1.-The mountain in eruption" says
DIR. Kinslowe, sis the second in tho
range Of four towering peaks about 80
miles due south of Lake Gladies and a
slightly shorter distance from Atlin
City. These mountains are all Of at
least IA, 900 feet altitude, the crater
resting a trifle below its three brother
peaks. 1t was in the early part OF
October that the smoke was first seen
issuing from the mountain With the
thought of a volcano furthest from
their minds, the miners attributed
these first signs of eruption to clouds
hanging about the peak. So constant,
however, was the cloud that it became
an object of daily observation from
Atlin City. Then, on November 8th,
the mountain burst forth in flames.
Through the smoke cloud, there shot a
stream of molten lava, boulders and
ashes that frightened the sky for a
radius Of nearly 40 miles, and sent its
reflected light through the darkness.
down upon the men working on Birch,
Discovery, Mckee. Pine and Other
creeks, the sides Of whose banks face
towards the volcano. A panic ensuet
among the miners when the ashes be
gan falling down upon them. The
ashes fell to depth of several inches
and the stream down the mountain
side increased in magnitude. The fal
of ashes stopped, and the men returned
to work. When we left, the miner.

Summary Of the Annual Report OF Gov
ernor Brady.


ernor Brady.
Washington, Dec. 1.-The annual re-
port of Gov. Brady of Alaska summar-
lied in Secretary Bliss report, was
made public today.
1t makes a strong plea for Congress
sional action on Alaska's needs, and
begs Congress to treat Alaskans as
American citizens, and not to classify
them with Kanakas, Filipinos and
Cubans. 1t points out that Alaska is
ID times larger than Cuba, and has
been in our possession for 81 years, and
its value has been unknown and unap-
preciated.
Gov. Brady declares that sit would
seem as impossible to prevent SNUG.
Cling Of liquor into Alaska as it would
be to prevent the clouds from rolling
by, or the tide from ebbing or flow
ing" though the support of the col
lector of internal revenue by three or
four revenue cutters and number of
steam launches, to patrol Southeastern
Alaska, would largely check the evil.
