On June 29th Thomas McCord lost his life at Windy Arm by the capsizing of 8 Peterboro canoe. He swan long distance after the accident but sudden, ly disappeared and was seen no more. 1 D. W. Small started out 13 pack ani- mals from Skagway last week in charge of three men, going to Bennett thence down the river to Koyukuk. Mr. Small accompanied by F. J. Dynan left on Monday to join the party.
 1 MIL. Sherpy, of Skagway, has sue ceeded in cuItivating the strawberry and bringing it to high state of per lection Now let some one experiment with the banana and prove that Alaska is right under the equator.
 An unsuccessful attempt was made last week to recover the body of Shock, one of the men drowned in Lake Ben nett some time ago by the capsizing of Peterboro canoe. Shock had $500 on his person when he went down.
 C.J. Dumbolton arrived in Skagway on the evening of July 4th from Van couver with live stock for Dawson. He left Dawson, went to Vancouver, bought his stock and got back to Skagway in the short space of seventeen days.
 Work of development on the Ana conda group of mines in the White Horse district is showing up valuable ore in considerable quantities. Assays recently made in Skagway give a return of S235.6O in copper, S1O.8O in gold and S142O in silver.
 The body of John Benlin, a miner from Boise, Idaho, was found in the bay at Ketchikan one day last week Around his neck was rope with rock weighing 75 pounds. At the inquest it developed that it was case of suicide, and not one of foul play as at first sup posed.
 Skagway, by a vote of 246 to 60, has decided in favor of incorporation. The following couucilmen were elected: E. o. Sylvester, L. Mayer, J. Hislop, 10. R. Peoples, Lee Guthrie, w. L. Green, J. Laumeister. J. M. Winslow, 1. N. Will coxen and c. Ford were elected school directors.
 Capt. Abercrombie, who has charge of the government operations in the Copper river district, has succeeded in stirring up considerable excitement and feeling in Valdez by unloading all government supplies at a point about three miles distant from that town and by ordering the barracks and military post erected on the newly selected site. He claims in justification that Valdez harbor does not give sufficient protec- tion from the wind and ice to make it a desirable place for shipping and transportation business.

A number of young men bound for Nome on scow put ashore about five miles below Hootalinqua, and one of the party going further up the bank than the others found mail sack which was evidently torn open and the strap cut but the contents were intact. It is the bag lost by Corporal Richardson in the fall of 1898, and which contained only police and bank matter. It also contained a draft of $500 from Colonel s. B. Steele.
 A friend, writing from Nome under date of May 27th, to o. w. Dunbar of Skagway, touches up the experiences of a former Skagwayan as follows: There were about 900 people who came over the ice from Dawson, among them was T. A. PIedger, the Hot Cake Kid, who left Skagway last fall. At Dawson in January he made a 5000 winning at ia TO bank, and coming here over the ice, won between four and five thousand more. He bought property with it and in three weeks doubled his money on the sale of it. Ten days ago he was shot through the shoulderin in a row over a woman, but was not seriously hurt.
 The Alaskan says that the City of Se- attle is fast boat, but it is not fast enough to meet the desires of rapid travel that one John Hilditch has in his restless breast. John came out of Daw- son with S9OOO in dust. He had part ner with him who also had some dust. They placed it in a stateroom of the Clutch and locked the door Then John came up town and by some chance bought ticket on the Danube instead of the Clutch, and meeting another John whose second name begins with B, he managed to get to the wharf minute or two after the Danube left. On We'd nesday he was one of the three hund- red and forty passengers on the City of Seattle, in the hope of overtaking his gold.
 The Skagway Alaskan of June 27th says that the train arriving last evening
 brought, perhaps,a a mil
 A .TIILLION lion dollars worth of
 DOLLARS Klondike gold. The
 bulk of it comprised a shipment of 31OO pounds, probably the largest which every came this way. It arrived in charge of Mcdonald Potts, general manager of the Klondike Cor poration, who will take it through to on the steamer City of Seattle, leaving here today. This shipment be- longs to the Canadian Bank of Com merce and alone is worth the snug for tune of three-quarters of a million dol lars. It is packed in nine iron boxes, each about the size of ordinary kero. sene cans. Two strong men had all they could do to lift anyone of the box es last night when they were taken from the train. On each end of each box were two good handles, so the men could take hold of them with both hands. Even with the two men each lifting with both hands they labored hard, and were barely able to walk a few feet with the precious load It would be Sandow or a Sampson who could carry away one of the boxes alone. A man of common strength would never be able to steal such a treasure whole. This shipment was stored last night in the vault of the new railroad headquarters building, This shipment came up the river on the Ora.

burst of flame from the top of the heap chorus of "Ha-ha! Ugh-ha. ha! He-e-em prolonged, is set up by the men about the cedar planking, they keeping time with the alder sticks, rapping on the boards. The dancers then appear, and for hours, in fact until exhausted, they will prance around, suffering the swell tering heat of the fire. So soon as one falls prostrated another takes his place and thus the danceis kept up night and day. At Taku in 1883 two dancers, weighted with special load of sorrow, kept up their movements for 36 hours without intermission.

 SHOOTING says: Quite ripple of
 WHITE excitement was created
 HORSE today when it became
 known that the steam CT s. s. Bailey was to shoot the cele brated White Horse rapids. She was to attempt this hazardous feat at o'clock in the evening, but did not ap- pear around the bend until near seven. Long before that hour quite crowd of sight-seers, kodak fiends and tourists had gathered at the foot of the rapids to witness the daring undertaking. Considerable anxiety was felt for her safety, for the water was low, leaving her but one swift, narrow and treacher ous channel. As the time drew near there was a perceptible change in the manner of the crowd; camera cranks peered anxiously through their ma chimes, to be sure that they afforded the best possible view, others fought the dogged mosquito, and all showed signs of impatience. Just then large column of dense black smoke rolled up on the clear blue sky from behind the hill, immediately above the approach to the rapids. Everyone knew what that meant The next moment the Bailey glided out from behind the hill like beautiful white swan in the bright sunlight. As she rounded the turn she strengthened herself, deliberately, as if human, to look her enemy square in the face. Then she headed directly for the rapids. The excitement became in- tense. Nervous women forget them selves and snapped their cameras at random, when the Bailey struck the canyon and looked entirely too large to ever get through. The crowd is awe stricken. Down she shoots! The double crew of men on the lower deck struggle with the sweeps to keep her head on. The pilot is tugging at the wheel, and she is barely grazing the rocks at speed as if shot from can non. Everybody is wondering if she will ever get through, or land on the rocks, a 5000 pile of rubbish. In an other instant she shot out into the broad open water; her whistle scream ing triumphantly, and the crowd takes a good long breath of relief.

An interesting story, says the Alas kan, is brought down from Klukwan,
 the capital city of all
 LAND the Klukwans, by Judge ] GRABBERS Malony, of Juneau, of 1 WARNED the loyalty of the h.
 dians to Uncle Sam and their hatred of the British. When the surveyors of the provisional boundary line commenced work in the neighbor- hood of Klukwan, the Indians were much interested to know what it was all about. They were finally informed that the men were engaged in marking the line between theresp pective domains of the Boston men and the King George men. Now, these Indians have for many years had only one position on the boundary question-they have been Americans to the core, and are yet Americans. To them there is only one line beyond which the Briton reigns. That line is where American maps have shown it since the United States ac- quired Alaska. It troubled these sim pie natives of the forest and sea that half dozen Canuks could come up into their country and by such simple pro- cess remove the boundary line so many miles nearer the water. A consultation amongst all the braves resulted. They decided not to permit such high hand ed proceedings. They appointed del egation which awaited on the grasping Canadian land grabbers and notified them in very solemn language to re- frain from driving any more stakes. "We want no King George men around here" said the chief They were final ly persuaded to permit the work to continue, by the promise that the King George policemen would remain over the divide on the Dalton trail where they now are stationed.

 estness with which the performers-as the dancers may be named-go into their task that it can not but impress. The Indians are griev ing for their dead. Whether deceased has been on his funeral pyre one year or 100 years does not imply. The Alaska Siwash believes in the transmigration of the soul, and does not know but what his ancestors spirit, instead of taking body in an elk, moose or bear, will possibly come on earth again as snarling wolf. Therefore the Siwash is in sorrow. But he has a relief in the firm belief that by incantations, feast ing and much burning of high built pyres, he may so placate the "Sahalee Tyee" (Great Spirit as to tend to the removal of the soul he sorrows for from it's possibly poor encasement to the body of some large and noble animal Arriving at the "Sorrow" dance the Si- wash who has been selected as dancer is provided with wooden mask, if he has not brought one.
