amined by the government commission
and every clue mentioned by the menu
bers OF that expedition will be carefully
investigated. If gold is there it will be
found.
AT the same time another company is
being formed in New York to search for
the long lost treasure of ancient Panama,
sacked by the buccaneers of the Carib-
bean sea in 1871. For some reason the
directors of this company, every one of
which is a thorough business man, are
OF the opinion that his treasure is hidden
on the islands of Cayo Romano and Cayo
cruz, of the coast of Cuba. and they have
been purchased outright from their
French and Spanish owners.
This, however, does not begin to enum-
crate all the concerns that have recently
been organized with this object in view.
Nearly a dozen such companies have
been formed within the past few months
and the fields of their explorations are
widely separated. A few are to search
IN foreign lands, but nearly all have Sc
lected points of operation somewhere in
the United States. OF course. it is pos
slble that some of them may be success
ful, but the majority are probably to be
rewarded only with disappointment. for
the past few years have resulted in no
inventions that may be used by the seek
ers OF treasure on land as the diving bell
and the submarine boat may vet be made
to assist those who are seeking for the
wealth hidden beneath the waves"

CAPTAIN S. F.. BROWNS EXPLOIT.

1T is no always best to bury the
Ratchet. especially if it is an historical!
one. Accordingly, at Gettysburg. the
new statue of Captain stephens F.
Brown, which is a part of the monu-
ment marking the spot where the Thir-
tesnth Vermont infantry stood on the
battlefield. will give it particular promi-
hence. The reason is that Captain
Brown heroically led his company with
a hatchet into the battle until ha wrested
from a rebel officer a sword and pistol.
The Ratchet in the statue rests near
the captains right foot. The presence
of the Ratchet in any position naturally
suggests inquiry. II that is just why
the Nermonters wanted it there. Every
cemetery guide will know the story of
Captain Brown and his hatchet. visitors
will tell it to their children and it will
become history.
At the battle of Gettysburg the Thir-
teenth Vermont was a part of General
~Stannard's Vermont command, The Sec
ond Vermont brigade had been left on
outpost duty in Virginia until the third
day after the Army of the Potomac had
passed it IN pursuit of Lees troops into
Maryland and Pennsylvania. Then the
brigade got orders to proceed by forced
marches to Join the Army of the Poto-
mac. The latter was also on forced
march, but IN six days time the Ver-
monters a O%vertaken the main body.
Just before the first days battle Captain
Browns came up to a well at
which was an armed guard.
You can't get water here said the
guard. "'Gainst orders"
Dbl your orders.' said Captain
Brown.
And then, with all the canteens of the
men, and with only one one man to help
him., he thrust the guard aside and filled
the canteenS.
His arrest followed and he was de
prived of his sword.
The history-making battle began with
Captain Brown a prisoner. He begged
for a chance to rejoin his company and
was allowed to go. He picked up a camp
Ratchet and ran to the firing line, rushed
into the fray and singing out a rebel
officer so yards away, penetrated the
rebel ranks, collared the officer. wresat-
ing from him his sword and pistol, after
which he dropped his hatchet. while his
men cheered him amid the storm of bull
lets and smoke.
Such, in brief, was Captain Browns
exploit.

The POrcuplne District.

A number of persons return from the Porcupine every week and the reports they bring out are very conflicting. Some will tell you the district is worth less as a gold producer, and others will say the country is rich in mineral and that miners are doing we'll How to get at the truth from this distance is certainly mystery to the news gather CT. A few weeks ago, a friend of the writer, an acquaintance for years, a reliable, honorable gentleman, stated to the editor that the Porcupine dis trict was an absolute failure. He had just come from there and had been in the district some three months. That same week Mir. George Bach, whom everybody knows to be all right, also came out and his statement was that the district was gold producer, and he demonstrated his belief by return iug within few days and takinga good outfit and two men with him. Tn the language of Solomon, we are led to eX- claim, "Oh, where can truth be found, and where is the place of understand ing?"

A Joke on Perkins.

1t is not denied that Senator Perkins, of California, secured the enactment of the recent license law for Alaska. It is the same Perkins whose name ap- pears in the firm of GoodalI, Perkins & Co.,, agents for the Pacific Coast Steam ship Go. at San Francisco. When the Queen came up few days ago, it was for the purpose of making three trips only, while the Cottage City was being overhauled, and then it dawned on the Alaska representatives of the company that the law demanded of it the pay ment of one dollar per ton net tonnage, which for the Queen would amount to some sixteen hundred dollars, provided she did local business. Supt. Robin son and Judge Vim, counsel, con cluded to run the risk and the boat did some local business, and now the com pany will fight the payment of the tax.
 It's a good joke on Perkins.
 If the senator, who is a wealthy man, could only be compelled to pay the whole amount out of his own pocket, Alaskans in general would relish the joke much more.

JUDGE MALCOLM.
Please Stand Up and Answer few Interroga- tories that the News PrOpOunds.


 tories that the News Propounds.
 On the l4 day of May, 1898, an act of congress, entitled an act extending the homestead laws and providing the right of way for railroads in the dis trict of Alaska and for other purposes, was approved
 Sec. l3 of said act reads as follows:
 That natiHe3born citizens of the Do- minion of Canada shall be accorded in said District of Alaska the same mining rights and privileges accorded to citizens of the United States in British Columbia and the Northwest Territory by the laws of the Dominion of Canada or the local laws, rules and regulations; but no greater right shall be thus accorded than citizens of the United States or persons who have de- clared their intention to become such. may enjoy in said District of Alaska; and the seCretcry of the interior shall from time to time promulgate and en- force rules and regulations to carry this provision into effect,
 The secretary of the interior on June s, 1898, approved circular of the com missioner of the general land office, in which said section is held to be inoper- ative. Such being the case, Canadians are therefore excluded from locating mining claims in any mining district in Alaska.
 As recorder, we desire to know if Canadians are locating or have located mining claims in the Porcupine dis trict?
 If such locations are made, we desire to know under what law and by what authority the location notices are re- corded?
 Americans are not only excluded from British Columbia territory, but the Canadian government is withdraw ing mineral lands from location i'll the Klondike, which is no doubt for the purpose of preventing Americans from holding what has been located, and from making any further locations.
 We believe i'll retaliation.
 Not Canadian should be permitted to hold mining claim on American soil. Under the law and rulings of the departments they cannot do so. Is it not, Judge Malcolm, your duty to refuse to record any location notices of Canadian subjects?
 Please stand up and answer this question.

Political.

The Seattle Daily Times, an ably edited paper, in an issue of recent date, constructs few blanks to put into a platform for MT. Bryan to run on. They are as follows:
 (1) The re-establishment ofthe dou- ble standard of money, according to Mir. Brran's well-known theory.
 (2.O The enactment of most strin- gent laws against the combination of capital for the sole purpose of control ling the necessaries of life, and the en- richment of the few at the expense and impOverishment of the many.
 (3.) The enactment of a "constitu- tional" income tax law, either by an amendment of the Magma Charta itself by the people, or the revolution of the Supreme Court, so that the enormous incomes of the millionaires and multi millionaires of the nation may be made to contribute to the support of the general government, which is now all contributed by direct tax upon fixed property.
 (4) Trial by jury for all persons charged with crime in times of peace, and by court martial only in times of war, and never by injunction" with out jury.
 (5.) The retention of every foot of land obtained from old Spain, wherever situated, as the result of awar brought on by the most diabolical crimes ever committed by criminal nation.

A NEW COMMANDER.
Capt. Thompson No Longer In Command of the
 Topeka.
Manufacturer of and
 Dealer in

Capt. Thompson No Longer In Command Of the
 Topeka.
 The Topeka arrived at Juneau last Thursday afternoon. Of course she carried our mail by and it was brought from Juneau in a row boat three or four hours after the arrival of the ship. Good old Capt. Thompson was not on the bridge, he has been laid off and he is now in San Francisco trying to fix matters up. We did not find out the cause of the trouble between the Captain and the Pacific Coast Steam ship Co.,, but it is probably on account of the accident that befel the Topeka in the narrOws last spring.
 Thomas is the name of the new com mander of the Topeka. He was cap tain of the PuebIa, while she was used as a transport, and made several trips to Manila. He has been in the employ of the Pacific Coast people for long time. He was in command of the Mex ico, one of the best boats on the Pacific coast, at the time she went onto West Devils rock at the mouth of DiXon's entrance on the morning of August 4, 1897, and went to the bottom two hours later. The Topeka also has two of the MeXico's walters on board. They are Jas. McPhail and Jas. Derbyshire. The pilot who was on watch when the Mex leo went down was Capt. Cornell, who is now the captain of the City of Seat tie. He was tried by the board of local inspectors at Seattle and deprived of his license, but, on appeal, the findings were sci aside bDT the OueStiOn of neg ligence was not consideerd on appeal.
 Capt. Thompson did not have an ac- cident for some P years prior to the time the Topeka went on the rocks in the narrows. He may not have been en- tirely blameless, but that he has been a prudent, careful officer is certain,and this one mistake, if such it be, we do not believe to be sufficient to cause his discharge The people of Alaska like Capt. Thompson and his hosts of friends join the News in hoping that he will soon be reinstated.

 That .stanch steamer, Dora, got in from the west last Thursday evening at 9 o'clock. She did not tarry very long and pulled out again at about: on Friday afternoon. Just little while before sailing, the News man happened down on the wharf and it wasn't long until we struck the first officer, MT. J' Howeth, who is never too busy to speak kindly to anyone who Is seeking after knowledge.
 The Dora is busy little body, and we made some enquiries about the crew and find that Capt. Johansenls Tn command; J. Howeth, first officer; John Johansen. second officer; Carey, chlef engineer; Fred Homer, purser; and A. Blum, steward. .-o,
 "WelI, what kind of trip?" was asked of first officer Howeth.
 "Very nice indeed. It was a nlce smooth trip, free from squalls and storms" IL
 "Who did you bring down from the upper coast?" was asked.
 i've brought down one man with a broken arm, one man with a broken leg and a dog, that was all there was left of a party of six persons. They were all frozen to death on a glacier near. Valdez and the faithful dog was found where the men perished. The party was composed of men from Ne" York"
 "What is your trip wost-where do M you go and what do you connect with!
 "Well, we make connections at Juneau with the Topeka. Whenever the Topeka comes, always be on the lookout for the Dora. From here we % to Sitka and from there to the places iii the order named: Sitka tc Latuya Bay, Yakatat, Kayak, Nutchlk Orcas, Land Locked Bay, Valdes, Port Dick, Saldovia, Homier, Kusselot, Lyo' nick, Kodiak. .,, :,
 "At Lyonic we also connect with the steamer Perry for Sunrise and Hope City. It takes us about two weeks to make the run and we are kept busy"
 The let go whistle sounded and we bade the genteel officer good bye, and away went the News man in search oi other conquests.

Mr. Kauf- man has been connected with the Juneau chamber of commerce ever since it's organization, and it is due greatly to his far.sightedness that this body has gained it's excellent reputa- tion. MT. Kaufman will leave this morning on the City of Seattle for a trip through the eastern states to pur- chase goods for the Skagway and Juneau houses.

 Judge Irving Proving Terror to AtIin Evil
 DOers.
 Daily (Slagway) Alaskan
 The first claim jumping case to come before the judge ill the court now con vened in Atlin for the purpose Of strengthening out the tangled mess of titles in that district, has resulted in a manner that must be most pleasing and satisfactory to all lovers of justice. 1t was, says the Bennett Sun, a case where Canadian had jumped an Americans claim, who was the original locator, To- eating prior to the passage of the alien act. The record was clear to the claims of the original locator, and the judge quickly decided in his favor, at the same time taking occasion to remark that he would in future "treat all such jumpers as common thieves" In this case the original locator had not the money to pay his court dues, so the judge said he would soon fix that, and immediately ordered all costs (S33) to be settled on the jumper. 1t is need less to say that there is COnsternatiOn in the camp of the jumpers. This rift in tbe ClOud-thiS breaking in of light through the dark shadow of doubt that has so long hung, like pail, over the Atliu gold fields comes as benizen to the weary miner, who has sacrificed so much of time and toll, of health and wealth, that the country might be de- VelOped.

IMPORTANT RULING.

In Superior Court this morning an
opinion was handed down in the case
Of John G. Robelings Sons and Com
pany VS.. William D. Mode The court.
in its opinion, gave Judgment on
demurrer in favor Of the defendant on
the ground that the action is an equi-
table and not a legal one, and there
fore did not come within it's jurlsdic-
tion. H. II. Ward, attorney for the
plaintiff, took exception 10 the rulings
of the court, and may carry it to the
Supreme Court. The ruling disposes
Of fifteen similar cases, of which this
was the test. This case involved the
authority and right OF directors OF a
corporation to declare dividends from
the capital stock Of said corporatin
when there are no net earnings from
which to draw from.
