Siberian Gold Fields.

The prospect of great gold discover ies on the Siberian side of the Bering Sea is being entertained at present by people all over the country. The some what indefinite but alluring reports of finds already made has had the effect of starting up number of proposed expeditions this spring. Hundreds of men, when they reach Cape York this summer, will, it is believed, makea eff fort to reach the other side of the strait to prospect for part of the open sea- son. Several parties now in this city are reported to be organizing for Si- beria.
 The railroad advertising departments throughout the East are detecting a marked call for reading matter that will enlighten one on the possibilities of mining on the Russian side. Some of the far seeing railroad men believe the next rush heard of will be to new gold discoveries on the Siberian shore. Seattle Times.

New Strikes.

Southeastern Alaska is without doubt, destined to be known in time as the richest quartz region on the conti- nent. Signs to prove this are constan- tly multiplying. It has recently been announced that the stope on the end of the 5000 foot tunnel on the old Sum- dun Chief, 1000 feet below the surface, will pay the stockholders over S500,OO0 in dividends. And now comes pros pector, at present in Seattle, who. states that he has found both free milling quartz and rich placer in the neighbor- hood of Ketchikan in quantities suttic- iert to make even the case hardened old timer prick up his ears.

short distance from the shore at this point, and Hanson and another Indian went up towards it to make inquiries of it's occupants. Horton, whose tent it was, saw them coming, leveled his gun, and ordered them to halt. Han son, evidently taking this to be hos tile demonstration that needed prompt action, immediately fired and killed him. Mrs. Horton, on hearing the shot, came to the door of the tent, and Han sons companion shot her, wounding her in the jaw, and third Indian then rushed forward and cut her throat. They then carried the bodies few hundred feet away and buried them in a shallow grave, first placing blanket and piece of canvass over the re- mains. They then gathered up the eff fects of their victims, placed them in their boat, turned it adrift, and depart from the scene of blood.
 In his confession, Hanson implicated a number of Indians, and the following are now under arrest at Skagway await ing trial: Kitchikoo, Mark Clanet, Dave CIanet, James Tuckelin, Kakone, Quauish and Jim Hanson.

q should not advise anyone, not even my own brother, to go to Nome. Thousands of people will be there and more than supply the demand for la Dor. It will be a cheap camp. Not, withstanding that MT. McRae and 1 shall return. We have Nome properties but they are not developed. Nome may be a good field for the trader"
 MT. McRae says there are plenty of supplies on the river route for all now going in from Dawson.

DIRECT FROM NOTE.
Two Prospectors Arrive in Skagway March 10th inst With Latest News From
 The New EldoradO.

R. M. McRae and F. H. Nagel arrived in Skagway March 18th direct from Nome, having made the trip with a team of six malamute dogs in forty-siN days. They left immediately for San Francisco to deliver the engineers re- port on the proposed railway line from Port Safety to Cape York, an enterprise inaugurated and fostered by San Fran cisco capitalists.
 These gentlemen made the trip from Dawson to Skagway in twelve days and considering the fact that they had but one team on the entire journey, the time is remarkable.
 In regard to the climate at Nome, they say that up to the time they left 30 degrees below zero was the coldest weather experienced, and that the greater portion of the time the mercury lowered about the zero point. There was little wind and no great inconven- fence was experienced by the inhabi- tants.
 They met many people bound for the new mecca, and estimate that the num- Der probably exceeded 700, quite few of whom were women. The latter were showing the effects of the hardships encountered, and MT. McRae says it would be a good thing if women were prohibited from attempting the trip.
 Ofcourse, upon their arrival at Skag- way, Messrs McRae and Nagel were inn mediately set upon by the reporters, and to a pen pusher of the Daily Alas kan MT. McRae talked entertainingly of affairs in the new district.
 He says the Nome country is plaster ed with location notices in every direc- tion, and that men have been engaged all winter stalking everything stakable. "We met stampeders 200 miles from Nome, away down the coast in the vic inity of Unalalllik. Every little stream was reported to have good prospects, but it remained to prove the reports true. The tundra was prospected just back of the Alaska Commercial Com pany's store at Nome. At depth of IS feet it yielded 32 cents to the pan. No work is being done on the creeks, but some are washing the beach dust. They take it into cabins and thaw it out, and use one can of water for washing a great deal of earth. Some of those washing have rich streak of earth, and want to work it out before the rushers come in the spring.
 "The people of Nome eXpecta a rush, but they do not suspect it will be any thing like we have heard lately that it is to be. The only people who have ar rived in Nome during the winter up to the time we left were those who had started down the Yukon on boats that were caught in the ice before they got through.
 "But little selling of claims has been made. Those having good claims do not want to sell.
 "Provisions are no higher at Nome than in Dawson. Flour is worth S5 and bacon B cents. There was a shortage of cream and such luxuries for while but mushers went to St. Michael for goods not in the Nome market.

A MYSTERY NO MORE.
The Mystery of the Fate of Bert Horton and Wife Cleared Up by the Confession
 of an Indian.

Jim Hanson, the Indian who recently confessed to his complicity in the mur- der of Mir. and Mrs. Bert Horton on Oct. 24th. near Haines Mission, accom- panied the officers from Skagway to the scene of the crime and disclosed to them the place of burial. Snow covered the ground to the depth of five or six feet, effacing many familiar land marks, but this did not deter him from going at once almost to the exact location, and after three or rfourunsuccessful at tempts, the grave was located and the bodies eXhumed.
 Mir. Horton was found buried face downward, while the remains of bis wife were by bis side, with her face to the sky. The custom of burying per son face downward is always resorted to by the Nez Perce and Snake Indians of Idaho, when an enemy falls victim to their prowess. In addition to this mode of procedure, heavy stone is always placed upon the back of the head in order to prevent, as these Indians be- Iieve. the spirit of the dead from aris- ing and molesting their departed friends in the happy hunting grounds. Possibly this custom, to some extent, is practiced among some of the Alaska Indians, and may thus explain why MT. Horton was buried in the position in which he was found.
 The remains of MT. Horton and his wife were taken to Skagway on the steamer Alert, and were buried on the 18th inst, the beautiful and impressive services of the Episcopal church, of which Mrs Horton was a member, be- ing conducted. Mr. Horton was mem- Der in good standing of the Woodmen of the World, Knights of Pythias, and Odd Fellows, and these fraternities were fully represented at the funeral and assisted in the ceremonies.
 Bert Horton and wife were a popular young married couple of Skagway, who, during the month of October last, sail ed from that place in small boat for brief outing among the adjacent islands and along the mainland. No trace of them was ever found, nor word receiv- ed. from the day of their departure to the time the conscience-ridden Indian led the officers of the law to their rest ing place beneath the snow, beside the shores of Lynn canal, and their disap- pearance was one of the many myster- ies which hedge about this far north country. And it would always have remained a mystery, in all probability, had not this Indian, Jim Hanson, be- come a convert to christianity through the instrumentaIity of the Salvation Army, and thereby felt impelled to un- burden his soul of it's weight of sin and confess his complicity in and lnowl- edge of their untimely end.
 At the time of the tragedy, Hanson's brother, and his brother's wife and child, had been missing for two weeks and Hanson, in company with several other Indians, was searching for them. At a point opposite Sullivan Island they found on the beach paddle, which was recognized as the property of the lost brother. A tent was seen a
