A big strike in the Sea Level mines is reported. The Sea Level shows two lodges on the surface which are eviden- tly dipping towards each other The owners expect to strike the combined ledge at a depth of fifty feet. When their shaft reached d depth of thirty five feet the other ledge came in. This gives the Sea Level an immense body of free-milliny ore.
 On the southern end of Gravna is land W. II. Gilmore struck d ledge of 70 per cent copper ore almost on the shore. It is over nine feet wide and gives evidence of being d bonanza. Mr. Gilmore was formally manager of the Gipsy Queen mines.

The Gold property has proven to be fabulously rich and the fact that the ledge has, been struck so far away caused great excitement. Free gold in large quantities was found in a good sized vein on a direct line with the ledge from which Dyer x Johnson have taken so much gold. The property was immediately bonded to Seattle syndicate. It was named the Gold Coin group.

X DuStardiV Crime.

The following is taken from the Alaskan Miner at Juneau:-S time ago we published the fact that what was believed to be a continuation of the Ready Bullion vein had been dlscov- cred and located across tine channel and immediately adjoining the townsite of Juneau. The discovers and owners of the property were not men of su ficl- ent means to embark in the purchase of expensive machinery. they there fore made arrangements with Wm. II. Ebner by which he was to provide suit able means for developing and explor- ing the property.
 Mr. Ebner arranged for certain ma chinery, consisting. among other things of hoisting plant, compressor and boil CT to be shipped up here.
 This machinery was on the Topeka and much delay was occasoned in get teng it to town. After it's arrival it was taken to the mines. with the eX- cepton of the boiler. This was in pro gress of transportation, and had been moved over the brow of the hill behind town, and within d quarter of d mile of the mine. The contractor. who was moving it, left everything secure for the night the rollers had been remov- ed from the heavy sils and as d pre- caution a heavy rope was attached to the boiler and attached to "a tree stump.
 About midnight Wednesday the cit izens of Juneau were startled by a loud metallic report. some thought powder house had blown np and others. that an explosion had occurred at frcadwell $
 Nobody thought it worth while invcs- tigating the cause of the noise and it was not until work tilne next morning that the nefarious deed was discovered.
 It would appear that the intention was to let the boiler run down into the basin beneath. the rope which held it was severed all but one strand. This proving unavailing. powder or dynam- ite was placed in the tubes over the fire box with the result that half a dozen of them were torn or twisted out of shape. the iron supports shattered and the cap of the boiler was blown out and dropped in the road two hundred yards away, a shapeless mass.
 Nobody offers any explanation of the affair and no credible theory has been advanced to account for such wanton distraction of property. As we write this the Chamber of Commerce is about to meet to deal with the matter and powerful resolutions will doubtless be passed.

BOmbarded with Gold.

At the bottom of d fabulously rich shaft on Thorn Arm. near Ketchikan. two men had wonderful escape from death last week. A blast exploded and peices of gold ribbed ore flew around the narrow shaft in every direction. cutting and brusing the two miners terribly.
 The men were employed by the S7a Level Mining Company and the eXplo- sion occurred in shaft that is being sunk on this rich property. As a result of the explosion Lee Williams is lying ill Seattle hospital with one eyeball cut in two by a sharp peice of rock, and numerous other injuries.
 Mr. Williams was taken to Seattle on the Laurada, and was taken at once to the hospital. He will undoubtedly lose the sight of one eye.
 The men had drilled one hole. which failed to explode. They took out as much of the powder as possible and started to drill another hole. There was some powder left in the dead hole, however, and the friction of drilling the new hole discharged it. The men do not know how they escaped being blown to peices.

Big Fire at Circle City.

Shortly after II o'clock Saturday morning, January Huh. the town of Circle City was called out to see the largest dwelling house of the Alaska Commercial Company on fire.
 It is stated to have been about l0:oI o'clock when Miss Anna Odtand the cook while up stairS performing her houshOld duties. noticed smoke in the house. She went downstairs and en- quircd of Nelson. an employee about the place. who had recently made ire in her room. He thought nothing of the matter. but Miss Odland satisfied that there was a fire somewhere. soon discovered smoke coming from her room. and on opening the door saw a large body of flame issuing from about toe place where the stovepipe went through the partition. Immediately giving the alarm at the store. the clerks headed by Mr. Wheaton, who was in charge. rushed to the scene. and began vigorous work to put out the fire. for their all. trinkets beyond valuation Were in their rooms. which by this time could not be approached on account of the flames which swept through the building.
 The fire bell and the bugle call at the barracks soon brought to the scene of action the fire department and the sol dier boys under Cart. Richardson. The crews of the Sovereign and Victor ia were also on the spot. and gave every assistance in their power. The enthu- siatic manner in which the men attack ed the fire and the apparent oheyancc of the flames at one time, gave hope that the building might be saved. But unfortunately the fire gained headway on account of the intlamahie nature of the partition and lining of the walls and soon broke out through the upper story. Being no longer able to con!ii'u the fire to any part of the building. it was evidently useless to attempt any further the saving of the dwelling. Then. very wisely, every effort was made to battle the flames with view of saving the surrounding buildings Mr. Wheaton gave orders to remove all goods from the warehouse adjoining, which was in immediate danger The men worked like beavers and the end of the building nearest the fire was soon empty of goods; then snow and water directed against thestructure n- side and out, kept it cool. In the mean time, the roof of the dwelling having fallen in, the burning building was pulled apart. It was hard and steady fight and resulted in the victory of the men being able to confine the flames to any part of the building and without injury whatever to the immediate buildings. During the fire Mrs. Crane put notice on the door of her resd- encc, opposite the fire. inviting all those engaged in fighting the flames to enter and have hot coffee and luncheon.
 Mrs Crane was kept busy for half a day serving those who entered cold and hungry. Judge Crane who was affect ed by the sight of many with wet feet and clothing, battling against the an- gry flames, came out with bucket as the boys expressed it land passed around the dipper."

The Protection of Austin.

1t is possible that when Queen Victoria
bestowed upon Alfred Austin the title OF
poet laureate, she did not quite under
stand how his performances would be re-
ceived by the general public. The Queen.
while unquestionably the most popular of
the European sovereigns of the present
day, has never been considered exactly an
authority on matters OF literature. as may
be indicated by the fact that she has pro-
ing novelists. That she should select for
the high office of laureate a gentleman
who may fairly be considered a male Cor
ELI is, therefore, not surprising But it
would be too much to expect that people
who know poetry when they see it should
fall down and worship Mr.. Austin every
time he opens his mouth to pipe a little
lay. and apparently Her Majesty is nov
discovering that they do not.
In a recent number OF the Court Jour
nall this paragraph appears:
II seems to have become recognized thing that
whenever Mr.. Alfred Austin writes ia his capac-
ity Of laureate an-attempt to pick his to
pieces should be made; and the sooner the fact
but disrespectful 10 Her Majesty. the better will
those who recognize the poet llureates position
be pleased.
AS the Queen is practically the editor
in-chief OF the Court Journal, " this seems
to be an official expression OF her opinion
on Mr.. Austins embarrassing situation.
We have here presented the spectacle OF
the Queen of England mildly but firmly iu-
forming the public that they must cease
throwing boouacks and cabbages and
crockery at her pet poet when he takes It
into his head officially TO sing
One might explain the matter to the
Queen in rather fiattering way by saying
that the general derision OF Austin is a
tribute to the dignity OF his Office. and
that so far from being any disrespect to
the Queen 1t is simply an expression OF
sorrow that she should be so awkwardly
praised. But this would be fragrant eu-
phemism. The fact is that the Office OF

and the common dogs are going to try

verses as purely private amusement for

into the world as poetry, they are eriti-

THE LOUISIANA TERRITORY.
Centennial Anniversary of the Pur-
chase to BE Celebrated.

st. Louis, June 1O-The st. Louis people
are pushing with much energy their ambi-
tious project for great Worlds Fair. to
be held in their city in 1903 The date
selected is the centennial anniversary of
Jenersons purchase from Napoleon OF the
Louisiana territory, out of which thirteen
states and four Territories, have been
created. A fund OF 5000, 900 has already
been subscribed by citizens and corpora
tons in st. Louis, and the further financial
plan is to raise another So, ,090, 900 by NUM-
cipal loan, and to appeal TO Congress to
make national loan of still another
S5.O0OO00, secured by first7lien upon the
receipts and assets of the exhibition. This
viii give a total fund of $50, 100000 with
which it is believed an exhibition can be
created that VIII rival in beauty and in
terest the one, held in Chicago in 1893
The special feature of the St. Louis fair is
to be very thorough presentation of the
resources and achievements of the States
and Territories included in the Louisiana
purchase, SO that these communities can
say to the world, Come and see what we
have accomplished in one hundred years" s"
The diligence and self-reliance displayed
by st. Louis in launching IT'S exhibition
project merit much praise, and If there is
any drawback to the complete success of
the enterprise, 1t would seem to lie in the
almost unbearable summer climate Of the
great city on the Mississippi River.
