COAL AT WHITE HoHSE.
Mine Has Been Struck Within 12
 Miles of Town.

A coal mine has been discovered and is to be opened up right at the do r White Horse.
 There are three veins. the main one be- ing thirteen feet and exposed on both sides of the canyon. To tap this tunnel Iso feet deep from the surface will be sunk.
 The discovery was made some time ago and tests were conducted in a quiet way till the owners were convinced that they had the real thing and then they made the announcement.
 A straight road from White Horse to the mines would be twele miles long, but the road by whichit is now reached Is twenty two miles, says the White Horse Tribune. Twelve miles of this, however Is over the White Pass X Yukon route to Dugdale station and from there in an easterIy drec- ton trail can easily be cut over the other ten miles.

BUSINESS DEMANDS II
New Steamer Will Cost S9,OOO and Work on Its Construction Will Commence This Winter It Is Be- lieved That the River Will Re- maiu Navigable From June Until September.

There will he steamer 10 ply on the ChiIkat river from Haines to Klukwan and on up to Bear creek. J,ck Dalton, the pioneer trail builder and Porcupine miner and trader. has decided to build steamer especiiil for the traffic.
 "The river steamer will necessarily have to be small" said Mr. Dalton, "but its dimensions have not been decided upon. We will commence work on it this writer and have it ready by the time navigation commences.
 'l think the Chilkat river can be nav- gated from earl? in June until late in Sep tember. The question will not be one of open water, but of high water. It will be some time in June before there vii be suf- fcent water to float steamer.
 "The trade will demand river naviga- tlon next year. There has been much bus ness with that country this year and it is bound to increase.
 We belive the proposition to operate a stern wheel steamer to be feasible. Any how we will put S8ooo or Soooo into one,
 "There should be a daily mail from Skagwav to Haines. and that of course means daily boat.
 Did you say boat or telephone?" "l would like to see both. and believe that there would be business for both if the telephone system were extended Into the interior But there must be boat. That Is a necessity"

INCOMPETENT ENGINEERS.
Said To Be Cause of the Failure to
 Connect Telegraph Line.

The sensational charge has been made that the failure to complete the Dominion telegraph line from Quesnelle to Attn failed on account of incompetence of the engineers. In com menting on the story given in the DAILY ALASKAN by A. p. Charleson. lEe White Horse Tribune say:
 There is another story to be told about the failure to connect the through line. It is to be told officially and will not look we'll for the people in charge of the co ii struction when told. It will be better explanation than MT. Chareson's story to the SkagWav Alaskan.
 The fact of the matter Is that a big lizZle has been made of the job and ser ious reflection is cast on the competency of the responsible parties. Had they been working ntelligentIy the line would have been up and in operating order several weeks ago. The men from one end or the other got away out of their course with the result that the wires have passed dis tance of one hundred miles and at no pl ace in all that space are the parallel lines nearer than sixty miles apart.

Returned From Haines on
 the Alert Last Night.
INDIANS WIRE QUIET
Lieut.. Raines Says the Presence of Troops Was Needed-Rough Day Coming Up the Cnnal--Tndians Leaving Klukwan.

Lieut. k Riines, who has been stationed at Haines and Pyramid Harbor since the 10th with seventeen men to be on hand should any trouble ensue from the potlatch at Kluokwan returned on the Alert lat night.
 In speaking of the trir4last evening. he said:
 "There IS a great difference between campaigning in Alaska and in the Philipp- Ines and don't know but that prefer the latter for when the cold north wind strikes one if is worse than the heat.
 ''I left on the roth with seventeen men and stayed at Haines until the goth, then moved over ty Pyr mid Harbor
 "As soon as we arrived at Hilnes the Indians who had become quite restless inn mediatelv quieted down and stopped drinking. think our presence had a great deal to do with the law abiding manner In which the festivities were con ducted and had we not been within few hours marching distance trouble might have broken out
 At Pyramid Harbor we were quartered in the rear of Dalton's warehouse and had a warm place to sleep in.
 'l never went out to the scene of the dances but heard wonderful tales from there.
 "Ghe nces were to have lasted sev- eral days longer but the cold weather put a stop to the festivities.
 Coming up the canal this afternoon we had very rough trip, bucklng head wind all the way. We left there at eight o'clock yesterday morning and arrived about last night.
 "The small boat belonging to the war department which we had with us and which was in tow filled with water sh.rt distance from Halnes and the weight parted the line and 1t went adrift.
 The Sitka Indians are leaving for home and the ChiIkats are returning to Haines."

OFFERS AID TO BONUS
James Carroll & Go. Will Give Ten Per Cent. of First Months Con- tribution to n Daily or Tri-Week- ly Service to Haines--Telephone Will Follow a Boat.

Laramie Mayer, manager for James Car rol X Co.,, and one of the enter rising cit izens who comprise the committee that has been canVassing for subscriptions to the bonus for telephone line to Haines, thinks Skagway business men should at once make arrangements for a boat to Haines. He favors daily service, but ln- sists that it be not less than three times week. MT. Mayer makes his proposition definite, and makes substantial offer of assistance. He says:
 ''I am in favor of both, and in time both will come, but it seems to me what We need first is a boat, running regularly, daily if possible, and certainly tri-weekly. We can get along with a boat, without a telephone line, but telephone line with out boat would De useless.
 "Let the citizens of Skagwav act at once, this week. by entering into an arrange ment with Capt. Campbell whereby he will start from Skdgway November Ist, making tri-weekly trips to Haines and re- urn, at a stipulated bonus anl co ltrAct for one month.
 Jas. Carroll & Go. will subscribe ten per cent of the bonus for one months trial. The bonus to be arrived at by a committee of three appointed by the presi- dent of the Skagway oh mber of tonmtre. who will Derfect such an arranpemen with Capt Campbell of the Alert. And this committee can also arrange the details of freight and wharfage ch rgei so as to se- cure rate that will easily let Skagway merchants into that field for it properly belongs to us

Although t was nearly noon before the baIloting commenced In the presidential contest yesterday, there was much interest manifested and 7I votes were polIsd.
 Mckinley took the lead, receiving 3S votes to Brvan's 26. Seven ballots were rejected because the voter neglected to sign them.
 The republican ticket had maJorities at KelIv's, Brtt's and Wilson's drug stores, while Bryan had majority of the votes in the ballot boxes at the Broadway Phar- macy and at the DAILY ALASKAN office. Kelly's was the banner republican box, while the Broadway Pharmacy gave Brv an hIs largest vote.
 Those favoring territorial form of gov ernment scored a whitewash, every vote that was boiled being in favor of the prop osition. Several did not vote on the ques- tion at all.
 Of the seven votes rejected, four were for Mckinley and three for Bryan. Five we for territorial form of government and one against it while one expressed no pref erente. It is necessary that each ticket be signed for the purpose of showing good faith, and to provide against tepe ting.
 The vote at the different billing places was as follows:
 KelIy's drugstore-MckinIey I2; Bryan 4; for territorial form of government 10.
 Wilson's drugstore-McKinley 2; Bryan 5; for territorial form of government, 10
 B!il;'s phaimaov--McKinev 2; Biyai 5; for territorial form of government, l2.
 Broadway pharmacy - Mckinley 5; Bryan 8; for territorial form of govern ment I2.
 DAILY ALASKAN-McKinlev 2; Bryan 4; for territorial form of government 5.
 The vote was counted by the judges at 6 o'clock last night at the office of the DAILY ALASKAN, and the ballot box 8 were promptly replaced at the various polling places and balloting recommended.
 The polls will be open each day until Tuesday evening, Nov. 6.

 Hon. WE. Matlock who returned home on the Al-ki and who had many converse. tions on the steamer with Mr. Moore, says;
 "Mr. Moore Is, l think, representing the Western Union Telegraph company as he has been in their employ a number of years and Is a thoroughly competent man having been In charge of similar enter prises.
 He said that it was the present inten- tion to build line along the shore where they could and lay cable around all capes where it would not be advantageous to string the line on poles.
 "He saId that all material for the line had been ordered and would arrive in Ju neau in short time. Whether he would work from just one end or start men from both ends he did not know until he had gone over the route and visited Sk4gway.
 "As soon as boat can be procured he will leave Juneau with ships log in tow so as to figure the distance of the wile. This work may take him some time as he is ilso going to make survey of the shore line at the same time and may stop off at the Mission for d few divs.
 "The present intention of the company is to run line into the Porcupine country and to connect with the Dominion tele- neau to Skagwav wilt be completed first.

Glacier Creek Also Good.

Alfred Monk, well-known prospector, came out on the Alert yesterday from Glacier creek, where he has been prospect ing and doing his assessment work during the summer He sees no reason why future development work should not show this creek to be the equal of Porcuplne, and is much encouraged with the pros poets he met with in his assessment work on four claims there.
