No Fakes Wanted.

Ever since the beginning of the great rush to Alaska certain interruptions papers have from time to time come out with faring headlines announcing that wonderful discoveries had been made and the story has generally been told so glibly that the unsophisticated were often deceived into believing that all the prospector had to do was to get on the ground and his fortune was assured. These announcements have been repeated so often that every new discovery reported is received not as the truth, but as possible fabrication for business purposes. This probably, is the only safe plan, for if half that is told in these articles was believed, many Alaskan villages would be re- peatedIy depopulated, and disappoint- ment and suffering would be the inevi- table outcome But, after a few such cases as the Copper River venture, the miner becomes more cautious and in Vestigates more thoroughly before he starts on a mad rush to a country of which he knows nothing. It is to be hoped that the papers of Alaska will eschew, in the future, the publication of these boom stories, to the credit of the Alaska press. Let the papers of other sections publish what they will; may it be said of Alaska publications that they tell the truth. The truth about Alaska is a wonderful tale when we'll told.

blew one whistle to the New York. The New
York answered. Shortly after the Dolphin
