THE DOUGLAS CITY FIRE.
The Gem Restaurant On Fire-A Narrow Escape For The Town-Nobie Work of The Fire
 Department.

Last Thursday forenoon when the wind was blowing a perfect gale the fire bell in this city was sounded. But a few taps of the bell was given because the bell rope parted, but the alarm was sufficient to notify some of the fremen of the city and grand rush was made for the hose cart which is kept on the corner of Second and D streets. The run down D to First street was made in hurry for it was down grade and on Q street that had been used for coast ing. The hose was connected at Frank Bach's store and from the time the cart left the carthouse until the boys had water out of the nozzle it was just one minute and quarter. If any eX- pert firemen can beat that record we would like to know who and where they are.
 The fire was located in the front room of the second story of the Gem restaurant. The arrival and con- nection was so prompt that the fire had gained but little progress and was yet confined to the interior of the oneroom and a stream of water was played on the flames through the front window until it was extinguished.
 The fire department of this city went into a decline last summer, but it was reorganized last fall and set of new officers were elected who have so ably conducted its affairs that it now has a splendid hose cart,and an abundance of hose. Three new hydrants were purchas- ed and put in place and Douglas City can now boast of having the best fire department in Alaska. The member ship of the organization is large and was well represented at this event.
 Owing to the meagre alarm by the bell, the chief, Mir. Hoyt and ex-chief Mcdonald were not there. The former was peacefully saving wood while his co-members were completely covering themselves over with glory

Gold Bearing Tide Lands

The recent decision of the commis- sioner of the General Land Office that his department could grant no right to dig gold on the beach between ordinary low and high tide was based on decis- ion of the courts and the acts of con- gress. For the benefit of our readers we copy Sec. 2 of what is generally call, ed the Alaska Homestead law.
 Sec. 3 That the right of way through the lands of the Uuited States in the District of Alaska is hereby granted to any railroad company, duly organized under the laws of any state or territory or by the congress of the United States, which may hereafter file for record with the secretary of interior copy of it's articles of incorporation, and due proofs of its organization under the same, to the extent of one hundred feet on each side of the center line of said road; also the right to take from the lands of the United States adjacent to the line of

wharf but did not get near enough to make landing. She backed out to come up again and a gale struck her that lifted a fore quarter of beef up off the forward deck and threw it into the sea and otherwise disarranged some of the freight, but the boat was within a few feet of the wharf which she struck with hearty thud. The wind was high and the waves rolling and the bow of the boat was held up to the landing, but continuously bobbiDg up and down like acork. The passengers got out forward and as swell lifted the boat up and threw her closer to the wharf, man would jump off and each passenger had to catch swell to make his landing.
 But this did not end our trouble by any means. Thus far we had in fact been in no danger. We were walking along the approach to the landing with Capt. Tibbits innocently discussing the mutability of Alaska, weather when huge and powerful gust of wind blew us to the railing on the side and almost into the water, which was some twelve feet below us. Instantly it dawned on us both that assistance from each other was necessary and we finally reached terra ffrma locked in each others em- brace that would have done credit to the excited and affectionate emotion of David and Jonathan during the period of their greatest friendship.

The Taku.

The Taku wind which occasionally sweeps up the channal between Juneau and Douglas City is the dread of all the weather we experience in this part of Alaska. It is named Taku because it comes from the river that bears that name. We have had two Taku winds thus far this winter, the first one was tempered with mercy, but the latter was the genuine thing.
 The News man went to Juneau last Wednesday evening on the ! o'clock boat and though the sea was not rough, the wind was gradually raising and the writer concluded to remain in the Queen City for the night. The ferry boat made her first trip to Douglas City at in the morning and returned covered with ice. One look at the water toward Sheep Creek, Treadweu and Douglas satisfied one that trip across as a matter of business was all right, but if taken for pleasure would prove to be dead failure.
 "When will you make your next trip?" the News man asked of first off Cer Foster.
 q really can't say, we may not go over until afternoon" was the reply.
 About noon the News man again went down to the wharf where the Lone Fisherman was tied up, and he was iu- formed that the boat would leave in a very short time. At Juneau the water was not rough, but, looking across and down the channel, one could see the water raising in great sheets and the sea covered with white caps.
 Capt. Martin stepped into the en- zine room and enQuired of the engineer if he was ready to go and received a reply in the affirmative. The Captain did but little talking-he was appar- ently meditating and his right hand man, officer Foster, was no more com municative. Engineer Fast was calm, determined and composed.
 The let go whistle sounded, the bell in the engineers room gave three taps and the noble little craft commenced backing out into the channel. Soon the reverse order was given and the jingle bell, which means "let her go Gallager," was sounded and the Lone Fisherman struck diagonally out for the opposite shore. The wind was blowing perfect hurricane and as it struck the boat on the port side the Lone Fisherman would lean over onto the starboard that made "land lub- ber's," small intestines wind and un- wind two or three times every three quarters of minute.
 Capt. Tibbits was one of the passen- gers, but he was as calm and good na- tured as ever. Calmness is one of his virtues and of course the News man enquired of him as to the danger of the boat going turtle up"
 "The Lone Fisherman will remain right side up in this sea, ,"said the genial Captain, and then we knew that all was well.
 The whistle sounded for Douglas.
 The engines were in repose and the vessel was heading for the side of the

pLAcERs AT CAPE YORK.
Confirmation of Previous Favorable Reports
 From The District.


 Cape York placer district is daily at tracting increased attention. All favor able reports of the country are confirm ed by the last miners to leave the scene.
 There are a few who believe the camp is destined to rival Cape Nome.
 The find, which is officially known as the Konowgok mining district of Cape York, appears to have been made by Lieut.. Harry Hamblet, Of the revenue cutter Thetis, while travelling overland in that section looking after the govern ment's reindeer business. Anacovak river is the principal stream of the dis trict, though it is on it's numerous trib- utaries, notably Banner, Thetis, Left Fork, that the gold abounds.
 Dan Mcdonald, formely Indian in- terpreter on the revenue cutter Bear, arrived at Cape Nome from Cape York just before the last ship sailed. He gave glowing reports of the camp and said dirt giving 80 cents to the pan had been found practically at the grass roots on Banner. Thetis creek McDon- aid regarded as rich. He stated that w. T. Loop,long congregational mission ary at Cape York, has secured number of claims, some of which rivaled Anvil Creek in surface richness.
 McDonald's report and that of pre- vious arrivals resulted in small-sized stampede from Cape Nome to the new camp, which is 12O miles distant and within about forty miles from Port Clar- ence-Miner.

New Money Order Rule.

For the purpose of facilitating the
money order business the postoffice de-
partment proposes to print money order
application blanks, and has notified the
Denver department that it will so into
effect Monday, Jan. l.
In these blanks the names of the firms
or private individuals who do large
money order business will be printed by
the department free of charge.
Many orders are delayed every week
because of misspelling or the inelligibil-
ity of names, and if advantage is taken
of the departments offer, the nuisance
of correcting these mistakes will be OBJ,
waited and will do away with much an
noyance to the firms on account of care
'essness in mispelling. Requisition fol
the printing Of these blanks should bt
made through the local postoffice.

GOLD PRODUCTION or CALIFORNIA.
An Associated Press dispatch to the
Denver Evening Times from San Fran
cisco under date Of January l, 1900, says:
"Frank A. Leach, uperintendent, and
Charles G. Yale, statistician, of the
United States mint, have prepared pre-
liminary statement, based on receipts OF
the mint and other bullion repositories
on this coast, which show that California
produced in 1899 gold to the amount of
S15,0O0,OO0, and silver to s636OOO The
increase Of last year is 1861 ,40G in gold
and s220,6O6 in silver.
"An estimate by the same officials of
the output OF Alaskan mines during 1899
shows that the territory has doubled its
gold product over the previous year.
The record for 1899 is: Gold, s4,9l7, ,92l,
and silver, Ss2,6 $50, rs compared with an
output OF gold Of S2,517, ,l2l, and of silver
OF sio,152 in 1898. This shows an in
crease for the year of S2,40O,70O in gold
and S33, ,720 silver, or total OF s2,43i, ,i2S.
