The bout with Gotch was, he admits, the
hardest he ever had in his life and his

 The first shipment of ordnance for Point Wilson was made from Colum- bus, Ohio, Dec, consisting of eight cars containing four carriages for as many 12-inch breech-loading mortars.
 This shipment should arrive about the 3rd ofJanuary.
 Alarge force of men has been kept busily engaged making preparations for the reception of these monster guns, and many of the gun pits are al- most completed. The construction of a modern fort is no easy piece of work when it is taken into consideration that for nearly two years past a force of from 100 to 2OOmen have been contin- ually employed at Point Wilson and that it will yet require more than year before the work is complete and the outlay of an immense amount of money.
 The work on Forts Flaglar and Casey was commenced some months before that on Point Wilson and yet those two defenses will require considerable time before they will be completed, and after which, the invasion of Puget Sound by the combined naval fleets of the world will be impossible.

A Beautiful Paper.

We have received a copy of the holi- day edition of the Seattle Argus and it is beautiful issue. Aside from thenu- merous cuts of Seattle and her business men, the paper contains an excellent re- view of Seattle's history for the past year. We must say of this paper, that editorialIy and mechanically, it is in- deed work of art. The fact is that the Argus is never dull-there are always lots of good things in it.

The Beach Mining Claims At Nome, Alaska.

The Beach Mining Claims At Nome, Alaska.
 A question of much locaIimportance has just been decided by Commissioner Herman of the General Land Office, re- garding placer mining on the beach of the Behring Sea off the coast of Alaska at and near Cape Nome, the new gold field. The decision affects mining and locations embracing tide lands below the line of ordinary high tide. Numer Ous applications are pending before the Interior Department as to locations on such lands, which has been demonstra- ted to contain gold.
 Individuals or associations of per sons, and incorporated mining com panies are seeking concessions from the Government, by which they may acquire exclusive mining rights and privileges pertaining to such tide lands.
 The commissioner decides that tide lands in the District of Alaska are not public lands subject to disposal to in- diyiduals under any of the existing land laws of the United States, and that the department has no statutory au thority to make concessions to individ uals of any mining rights pertaining to such tide lands.
 A citation is made by the commission CT to the case of Shiveley vs. Bowlby, decided by the United States Supreme Court, in which it was held that the United States on acquiring territory, whether by cession from one of the States, or by treaty with a foreign country, or by discovery and settle ment, takes the title and the dominion of lands below high water mark of tide waters for the benefit of the whole peo- pie and in trust for the future States to be created out of the territory, and it was further held that Congress has not undertaken, by the general laws, to dis pose of lands below high water mark of tide-waters in territory, but in case of some international duty or public exig- ency, has left the administration and disposition of the sovereign rights in such waters and lands to the control of the States, respectively, when admitted into the Union.
 This decision leaves the beach miners at Nome and vicinity in the same posi- tions they now hold. They can work the claims only so long as they are in actual occupation. So far there has been a general agreement among the miners which seems to have worked very we'll; especially as the gold bearing sands are of small depth and it does not take long to work out claim. It is easy to see, however, that dissensions aud se- rious trouble might arise over the pos session of claim.
 A decision will also prevent the hold ing of any large section of the beach by 8 company, and will very probably pre- vent the use of machinery for working on large scale, since there will be hesitation about spending large sums for machinery when the possession of a large territory is doubtful. It will probably leave the beach mines open to individual prospectors and miners, as now.
 Of course an appeal may be taken from the Commissioners decisions, but it seems to be founded on law, and will probably stand unless Congress should take some special action in the matter Engineering and Mining Journal.
