Mckinley as ~ Messenger Only.
New York Daily News.
The Tribune of this city is I'M
doubtedly right when It says that
the United States Government did
not ask Great Britain to accept it's
meditation, "nor anything of the
kind" on behalf of the Boer re-
publics. President Mckinley neg
looted the opportunity which was
before him of helping brave and
struggling people and contented
himself with appearing in the char
aoter of a mere messenger with not
enough spirit in him to even say
why he had undertaken the GRAND
on which he came.
Our contemporary also comedies
that the Transvaal asked the United
States Government to offer its med
itation, so there can be no disput-
ing the fact that President McKin-
Icy failed to do that which he was
requested to do by the Beers, who
evidently did not quite comprehend
the extent to which this Admins
tration is tied up to the British
monarchy
Mckinley has deliberately re-
fused to speak for the Beers, as he
was asked to do by them, and as the
American people wished and OK
pected him to do. He has once
again shown that the English alb
ance has papalyzed him to such an
extent that he cannot even find his
tongue to speak on behalf of the
South African republicans further
than to say that they were ready
for peace under certain conditions.
He neglected to make any plea for
them whate yer, and in this he has
sadly disappointed them as we'll as
Inundated his own country.

The Presidents assurance that
there is going to be no imperialism
has not had the effect of convinc-
ing great many people that their
fears on this subject are ground
less. This is doubtless due to the
fact that public confidence in the
Presidents utterances has been
weakened by his tendency to say
one thing to-day and another and
directly opposite thing tomorrow.
He has been here and there on
most public questions, and nobody
looks for the maintenance of any
position he may take, because he
has reversed himself so often as to
justify the belief that instability is
one of his characteristics
The Presidents assurance has
failed also to reassure also for the
reason that Congress is Just now
at work on an imperialistic policy
for one of our new island possess
ions, and with the consent of the
President, although only three
months ago he opposed this policy.
The fact is that the Presidents de-
claration that there will be no i'm
perialism is exactly as if it had not
been made Not only is there recog-
milton of his want of authority
to say what the future will bring
forth in this regard, but there is
serious doubt that the President is
qualified to speak for himself, to
the extent, that is, of saying what
his position will be next year, or
next month, or next week,

HISTORY OF THf ROAD
Told i'm Pictures and in Engineer's Figures. All Engaged in the Work Signed the Roll and the Whole Was Elegantly Bound.

One of the most pleasing incidents of the Heney dinner on Thursday evening, and which took place after the representa> tive of the DAILY ALASKAN had left the festive board, was the presentation to Mr. Heney of one of the most remarkable books that has ever been produced in Alaska.
 In the first place it was all written by the pen, and it was illustrated by pen sketches an1 many photographs. Its frontiSpiece was tloriated tribute to MT, l1eney in which the dear little shamrock" was the basis of devotion.
 Then there was page giving engineer ing figure of His Work" with d peach at the bottom of 1t, and there were pages devoted to "Their Work" the engineers and others, and the whcle thing was in terspersed with photographs and pictures bearing cut the text No such work has ever been produced in Alaska, and Capt Stretch has the hearty commendation of everyone who has seen 1t.
 There is originality in the manner of its production, and there is also much orig inaItv in the poems that Capt. Stretch has written for 1t, In short 1t is one of the most artistic souvenirs that have ever been produced here, and the reproduction of part of it given to the diners on Thursday evening, did great credit to Photographer Barley.

Big Salmon a District With
 Great Prospects.
GROUND IS VERY RICH
Taking Out One Hundred Dollars Day to the Man On Living stone Crock Discovery Creek is All Staked and Each Claim Is Represented--Crow Claims Sold High-Four Other Good Creeks.

One of the mining camps of great prom ise in the north that has been largely over looked is the Big Salmon. Not only has the Big Salmon a prospective value, but according to George F. Pope Livingstone creek miner. 1t is now a good camp and one that will rapidly improve.
 Mir. Pope is on his way south to nego- tlate for hydraulic machinery to use next year on Livingstone creek, and in speak ing of the camp said
 The claims that are being worked on Livingstone creek are paving well, On discovery claim they have been taking out $Ioo a day to the man. The claim is owned by J, E. Peters, Ben Cavanaugh and Sam Lough, all of Seattle. They are mining on ted rock which is exposed The creek at this point runs in a canyon, the walls being high and perpendicular. A large Hume has been built and the water carried therein several feet above the heads of the miners. The pay extends down two feet into the bed rock.
 Livingstone creek is tributary of the South fork of the Big Salmon and is all staked. The upper portion of the creek is quite deep, In places we have to go thirty to forty feet to get bed rock, but no man has vet gotten down without finding pay.
 "The crown claims have all been sold, and the assessment work has been done on them aIl In fact there was not claim on the creek unrepresented this year. The assessment work for anothe. is now being done. The bunch of ten crown claims ad- joining and just below discovery claim, sold at auction for $Is,ooo. The ten claims commencing at No. 10 above dis covery sold to Ben Lowrie for sI5oo, and he IS now taking out good money. The Grown sold 100 more claims on the creek but they were sold cheap. Oneach bunch however, pay has been struck.
 "There are four other creeks all parall- cling Livingstone, all of which prospect well, and on some good pay has been found. The creeks are Martin, May, Men docino on the east of Livingstone and Cottoneva on the west. Cottoneva is all staked and several claims are being worked. About one fourth of the claims on Martin have been located and good pay has been discovered.
 May creek was all staked by one man, who came out and got men to go in to represent them at & per day, This man is Nova Scotan and there is great feeling against him in the country.

and while l was doing that the entire party skipped" "There was only one man at my place" " said Mr. Kirmse, 'and he appeared to be drunk. He claimed that he oniv wanted to sell enough to get down to the Sound He had quite sack, and said it contained SII6.
 "l turned some of the gold out as we were dickering over the price and was at once struck by its peculiar appearance. When referred to it he said Oh that's all right. it's only the last run of the sea son; that's what makes it look light.
 ''l then knew that something was wrong, and was about to apply the acid to the stuff, when the man stopped me and took hls sack and went out"
 F. T. Keear says he did not have much of talk with the man at all. as he detec- ted the nature of the alleged gold at a glance.
 "lt is what is called fried filings" said Mr. Keeler. "lt is shaved brass which was put in a pan and fried over the fire until 1t rolled up, so as to present the ap- pearance of fine gold"
 A. P. Bell, in the Canadian Bank of Commerce, says he detected the fraud by the weight.
 "He only wanted to sell little," said Mr. Bell, 'so 1 turned out of we'll filled black poke what thought was three ounces, and 1t only weighed little more than an ounce, so knew it contained something besides gold. tested it with acid and it burned"
 ''l beleVe the man to be honest" said Mr. Weiss at P. E. kern's yesterday. "He came into our place in the morning, and asked me to test some gold. He said he had sold some to the bank, but others had questioned its genuineness, tested it and told him that it was not pure gold He did not ask me to buy any but thanked me and went out"
 Marshal Tanner has some of the filings secured from Jacob Perl. To the inexper> fenced eye it might be taken for fine gold, but its light weight and bright color tells the tale to those who are familiar with gold dust.

"Pav has been discovered in several places on Mendocino creek though there are only two or three locations on it as vet.
 Tn addition to these creeks there is a dry gulch between Cottoneva and Living stone, which are about six miles apart, which contains six claims. They are be- ing worked and pay two ounces per day to the man.
 There is no fine gold In the country, the small pieces averaging $2 or 8. There are many nuggets taken out the largest two being valued at Sos and $2o4. The lowest assay so tar had from the country was $I8.Io per ounce"
