Navy slang. which is said to be very
nearly. if not quite. the hardest to I'M
derstand, greets the ear at every turn
in the service. and is totally unintelIi-
gible to the average Iandsman. Here
are definitions for some of the phrases.
which show no little genius in their
origination.
To be asked by messmate to pass
the lighthouse" it is explained. is
simply a request for the pepper box:
a similar request for a 'gibby" means
a spoon.
A man breaking his leave is said to
be stretching it," and it, after punish
ment. he is heard to upbraid himself
for his folly. he IS said TO be 'hogging
the cat. Long may your jib draw"
conveys to mesSmate all the possible
good you can wish him; while "III
stretch you along like a Yankee main
tack has a far different meaning.
To be told you look like billy goat
in stays is not a compliment.
To spin a cuf' is to tell a story.
and to be told to "cut" the latter sig
nifies you are to stop and generally to
go on with the job in hand.
The order to "heave round" Took
slippery" or shake a leg means you
are to make haste.
To top your boom" or shove off, is
to leave the company you may be con-
versing with.
While the modern expression, well
you take the cake" is now often used.
its equivalent, well, you paul my
capstan." still may be heard
To be told TO buck up and take A
chilly" is an intimation for you to
shake yourself together. especially so
if the person in question has had a
cooking day''-a drop too much. The
sun is said to be "over the foreyard'
when referring to anyone not sober.
and to hear of So-and-so having rolled
up" means that he is dead.
''Raggle" doesn't sound very select,
but such is the expression used on the
lower deck. Once a man takes a great
er liking to one man more than the re-
mainder of the ships company, they
at once became known as "Raggles.'
Naval proverbs are interesting. but
not very excessive to the uninitiated.
For instance. First on the topsail and
last in the beef-skid," is the express
sion made concerning a smart seaman
Pick him up and pipeclay him and
he'll do again." is often used to express
that marine has slipped down lad
der leading to the lower deck.

THE MINES WERE "sALTED."
Another Story of Outrage Comes
From Kotzebue Sound.

Seattle, Wash. June 29.-The latest
advices from Kotzebue sound. Alaska,
are given in a letter from Albert C.
Thees. formerly of this city, who writes
under take of Jan. 9, that not bit of
gold has been found where he wintered
on the Ku-Buck river. and the question
with the miners there is how to get
away.
There were in camp twenty-three
white and twenty-eight natives, oppo-
site the mouth of Hunt river. Not
cent of gold, says Thees, has been taken
out of the whole country, and they
consider they are entirely out of the
mineral belt. One man was drowned,
having broken through the ice while
hauling mail into the country from the
coast. a good deal of sailing had
been done that caused more or less ex-
citement.
Thees says the miners there expect
to get out on the revenue cutter Bear.
There are, he thinks. 700 people in the
Kotzebue, fifty on Wick river and 125
on the Notark.
The health of the whites has been
good, but the natives have died in large
numbers.

Tale of Privations Coming From
Kotzebue Sound, Where Hundreds
of Men Were Induced to Go Upon
Representations Made by Trans
portation Companies-No Gold.

San Francisco, June 29.-The Asso-
ciated Press has received a letter from
DR.. ]. S. Stone, formerly a well-known
physician of this city. telling of the sit
uation in the Kotzebue country. The
letter is dated Kowak river, Alaska,
mouth of Maune Luck river, Jan. l,
1899
DIR. Stone says that 1900 men paid
5000 passage money TO KotZebue, be-
sides buying provisions, clothing, min
ing tools, etc, on the strength of circu-
lars issued by certain transportation
companies. announcing the richest
gold fields in Alaska" and offering
other inducements to secure travel on
their lines.
THE circulars" writes DR.. Stone,
were malicious lies, made out of whole
cloth. and no gold has been found on
Kotzebue sound or either the Kowak,
Notoark or Selawik rivers, which flow
into Hotham inlet. a part of the sound,
or any of their tributaries in anything
like paying quantities up to date. Other
large rivers have been prOspected with
no result. One thousand holes were
sunk this winter, some of them thirty
five feet deep, with no bedrock or color
being struck.
About the LIST of November a rush
was started for the Allashook, a tribu-
tary of the Koyoukuk. on reports being
received that gold was being found in
enormous quantities. The hopeful pros
pectors, after journeying for sixteen
days. cutting trails, dragging heavily
loaded sledS, with the thermometer
from Az to 60 degrees below
zero. reached Beaver City, q, settlement
consisting of seven cabins. only to find
the reports absolutely false. The report
had been started by a merchant who
had supplies to sell and by the recorder
