into a condition of abject imbecility. He says he is in favor of placing the boundary line back where it belongs even if this country has to invite a scrap in order to do it. All of which indicates that he is a man of sound sense.
 c. A. Sinclair, whose nickname is "Caribou," from all information is a real hero, says the Skagway Budget. He was on the Florence s. when she was wrecked in Thirty Mile river, and performed heroic feats in saving life and property. When the wreck occur red he lowed an upturned boat ashore, and with only one oar paddled around and picked up people who were strug- gling in the water. He could only take ashore three at a time, but he finally succeeded in getting every one out of the river. He then went down the riv- CT and rescued those who were floating away on the deck house. After that he rescued the chief engineer and a little son of Capt. Russell. Sinclair's many acts of heroism cannot be too highly praised
 E. Otis Smith, president and mana ger of the Providence and Sitka Gold Mining company, tells the Sitka Alas kan that he will immediately begin op- erations on the Lucky Chance mining property at the head of Silver bay. This property is situated in the noun tains about miles from tide water at the southern point of Silver bay and already has good road from the beach to the property. There has been about SlO,OOO already expended in developing this ledge and all that will be necessa' " before beginning operations will be to construct an aerial tram to carry the ore from the ledge to the mill, which is already on the ground. This tram, ac cordiug to estimates made by MT. Geo Garside of Juneau, will be 4O9O feet ir length, and will be operated by water power, of which there is an abundance The ore from this ledge mills about S25 to the ton and is free milling.
 l.. H. Griffith, manager of the Sunrise Hydraulic Syndicate of Atlin, arrived in Skagway on business yesterday, says the Alaskan. He reports Atlin as pros porous. All the hydraulic plants which are being operated are proving to be good investments and the quartz prop critics are showing favorable prospects "Hydraulic companies are now operat ing" said Mir. Griffith, Ion Pine, Will low, Birch, Wright and Mckee creeks and all are paying we'll. am inform ed that the Mckee creek hydraulic plant is paying big. Our company is operating on Pine creek. We are as yet working claims for individual own CTS on the per centage and have not touched our own large grants. We have every reason to be encouraged While we have the largest plant by far in Atlin there are years of work ahead of us. Atlin will be great producer for many years to come. Quartz mines of great richness will surely be devel oped in that country, too"
 The oldest man, beyond question, ii is claimed, who ever entered the Klon dike, was in Skagway, this week and left for his home in Seattle on the Clutch, says the Alaskan. Jesse F Cochran is the name of the notable pi oneer. MT. Cochran is in his eighty
Douglas Island news., 1900-08-08

ninth year. He crossed the Chilkoot pass in the great rush of 1897 and car ried his own outfit over the trail. Since then he has made three trips to the interior. During the winter of 1898 Mir. Cochran made the perilous trip from Circle to Dawson with only one companion, and that without dogs. Their food supply ran short and they lived for ten days on mush. They were out forty-twc days all told. Mr. Coch- ran has made Seattle his home since 1863. He has mining interests in the interior but of late has been engaged at his old trade of sign writing. Pros pecting has held one of the greatest charms for MT. Cochran throughout life, and he has been in many camps along the coast.
 On Wednesday afternoon, says the Sitka Alaskan, reporter of this paper accompanied the indefatigable Sailor Bill on a tour of inspection to his quartz locations, Gold No. l, Gold No. and the Sydney. These are all in a line and are situated about one and half miles north of town, overlooking the blue waters of the lake. We found considerable work done, the ledge be- ing trenched and picked up in many places. On Gold No. ? a 12x12 shaft is down 20 feet and shows strong ledge of highly mineralized quartz about s feet across, packed between walls near Iy perfect. We did not see any gold with the naked eye, but the ore looks good enough for anything, and late tests prove it is all right in this re- spect. The ledge has been opened up at intervals for distance of about two miles, showing up steadily and true in every instance. On the north end, two claims owned by MT. Donovan, have shown good assays, and many hand some free gold specimens have been obtained. The situation all along the big ledge is an ideal one for mining, as mills can be put up on the lake front and ore shot down to them at trifing cost.
 The Nome News of July 7th proposes the following conundrum: How will hundreds of men who are in this coun- try without means and no hope of se- curing them be enabled to leave this country? This is question which is exercising the minds of not few peo- pie. It seems to be taken for granted that many men must leave the shores of Boring sea before navigation closes. It is claimed that there is not employ ment for them here and that unless aid is given them they are likely to become public charges next winter and the lat ter contingency is not to be thought of for moment. If it be taken for grant ed that there are many men who can not obtain work or who cannot find homestake in the beach sands or who have no disposition to help themselves some action should be taken to the end that they be assisted to leave the coun- try. But we hold that there is no need of man in good health to ask assist ance. If he is industrious and sober there is opportunity for him to make his fare to the Pacific coast. If big wages cannot he made rocking beach sands, with properly directed effort any man can rock out the price of ticket. It would seem to be only fair, however, that the transportation companies should give cheap rate to those desir- ing to avail themselves of an opportu- nity to return to their former homes.

The Atlin Claim says that the Pen Dugwig Hydraulic Syndicate during the week has been advertising for men at s4.5O per day of eight hours. As re- gards working time, this goes to estab- fish a good precedent, which we hope to see generally followed.
 The U. s. lighthouse ship Columbine is cruising in Alaskan waters. As we all know, Alaska is attached to the U. s. government,-not in the sense of love and afFection,-but for the purpose of extorting revenue for the support of political parasites with abnormal appe- tites for pie, pelf and plunder. In or der to guard against the possibility of our people knocking down cent for their own support, it is necessary to occasionally send a government boat to spy out the situation.
 The Atlin Claim says that MT. Wm. Brown, the surveyor, whilst out lately in the vicinity of Sucker lake, was at tracted by something snow white on an open space of ground. Having an ever vigilant eye for quartz he advanc- ed to the spot and found a human skull. It bears every evidence of long exposure, being bleached quite white. ] No other remains were found in the vii cinity, and how the skull got there is a mystery. It is apparently that of an adult female of the Indian type.
 Jack Dalton says that at cost of S4OOO or S5OOO trail can be construct ed from Mukwan to Porcupine all within American territory, and that if the Canadian authorities make any trouble for American miners or traders he will put the road in It is rough country and will be difficult piece of work to construct, but it can and will be done if necessary. Dalton says he is disgusted with the way our country has backed down on the boundary question, as it has certainly surrender ed the greater part of the Porcupine district.
 According to correspondent of the Sitka Alaskan, work is progressing very nicely in the Sunrise district this season, although the water has been very high at times. Canyon creek was so high at one time as to wash out ev- cry one on the stream. Mills creek is paying S2O per day to the man. Mr. Weibel, who has hydraulic proposi- tion on Six Mile, has reached bed rock at 40 feet and is we'll pleased with the result. Fred Smith, who has hydrau' lie plant in operation on Lynx creek is taking out some gold and expects to strike it rich when he reaches bedrock which will be in the near future. Mir H. Blackwell is progressing very nice. ly with the work on his claims on In. dian creek and will soon be ready to wash out some gold. All these men employ from to 30 men each and pay good wages.

The White Horse Copper company has entered into an agreement with the British American corporation by which the latter agrees to expend S2O,000 in improving the property of the former during period to terminate in Novem- Der, 1901. The property is to then sur rendered to the White Horse company, or on the other hand company is to be foated with a capitalization of Sl,- 100000 to work the mines in which company the shareholders of the vend- ing company will receive a certain stipulated interest, says the Vancouver Province.
 E. G. Tennant, who has returned from Jack Wade creek, is highly enthusiastic over the prospects for that region, says the Alaskan. He thinks the gold out put will be large this year. All the claims owned by Mir. Tennant and c. N. Hansen are being worked and MT. Tennant expects to take out fortune this year. "We have twenty,siX men working on No. ' on Jack Wade creek" /" said Mir. Remnant. No. and No. ' are being worked on lays. Our spring cleanup, which was superintended by MT. Hansen, was very satisfactory. l think we will take out S1OO,0OO this summer"
 A correspondent of the Skagway News writing from Atlin says the re- ported placer find near Atlin City was a fake. Interest still holds, however, in tbe lost discovery near the south end of Atlin, lake. The original discov- erer has made two attempts to find it and failed. The creek, I believe, was discovered last winter and, owing to it's inaccessibility, the ediscoVerer left it un- til he had an opportunity to work it this summer, but so far has been una ble to find it again. It sound fishy, but it is generally considered to be the truth and to be the richest piece of ground in the country.
 D.H. Stevens, in taking the census of the Yakutat district, travelled some 800 miles by canoe. He found the pop ulation of Yakutat, 198 Indians and whites; of Dry Bay, 68 Indians, all liv- ing in two houses; of Nutchek, 130 h. dians and B whites; of Gotvana Bay, 13 Indians and 1 white. At Cardova Bay, Hawkins island, the party of sur veyors of the coast and geodetic sur vey was met with. At Eyak there were 90 natives, 54 Chinese and 200 whites. The Pacific Packers Association can nery will have an immense pack. Or ca gave a return of 175 whites, a few natives and 59 Chinese, the Pacific Steam Whaling Company's cannery running at full capacity and having ev- cry prospect of full pack.
 Senator Mason, of Illinois, who has been touring Alaska, is evidently an American. He says he believes the tax imposed on AIaskans is an outrage and that he proposes to work for its repeal. He is not one of those exalted, heaven inspired, muchly christtanized patriots who believes in acquiring territory by subiugating weak and balf civilized nations and at the same time meekly lying down and boring his head in the sand and surrendering every thing ask ed for when strong nation confronts it, as this country did on the boundary line question when Great Britain bluff ed the administration at Washington

DREAD
DISEASE OF SMALLPOX MAY RE-
QUiRE STRINGENT QUAR-
ANTINE.
Today-Dr. Miller Made a Hurried
Trip This Morning to Investigate
it-Dr. Stevens Says the Park
Cases are Well Watched Now.

Despite the fact hat the cases thus
far developed are mild in character
the smallpox outbreak in the North
parry will require close watching to
prevent the disease from spreading.
There is just a possibility that the in
lection has progressed a considerable
distance in this direction.
DR.. Miller was called this morning
to Woods Landing where it is report
el a cas- of smallpox has developed.
The person whose condition is the sub.
ject of suspicion is Shelly Woods. He
has symptoms like those in the North
park cases and these DR.. Stevens says
are unquestionably smallpox in a mild
form. Just how far along the case at
Woods has progressed will not be
known till the return of DR.. Miller
this evening. He went on a quick trip
in Elmer Lovejoy's automobile, realiz-
ing the urgency of the case.
In the park the most stringent
measures have been taken to guard
against a spread of the disease. DR..
Stevens says that DR.. Fisher there has
the cases well in hand and has enforc-
ed. with the aid of the authorities, a
severe quarantine against the houses
where the infection has developed.
The county commissioners of Albany
county are watching the situation very
closely and are prepared at the first
real sign of danger to take whatever
steps may be necessary to protect this
community.

A Case In Point.

This morning j. Murphy was in
Judge Hayford's court on the charge
or drunkenness. He was fined the
customary sum for that minor viola.
ton of the law. While on the witness
stand he told a story of robbery. He
had been drinking all evening and late
at night. he does not remember exact
ly at what hour, he was enticed into
a vacant lot back of one of the Front
street saloons. There he was sudden
ly attacked. One man grabbed him
by the neck and drew back his head
SO that he was almost strangled and
could not move. While in that posi-
ton a second man went through his
clothes and took all the money he had,
some 1924. Today an effort was made
to find the hold-ups but the effort was
in vain.
These instances multiply and scarce
" a night Masses that there Ia not a
