Notes on Dawson and Cape Nome.
Secretary.

Business in Dawson this season
has been very quiet, chiefly be-
cause the population is nearly
oooo less than last year. Prices,
however, remain firm, and an in
quiry at several of the leading
stores shows the following per-
centages of profit still obtaining:
On drugs and medicines, 900 per
cent; books and stationary, 500
per cent; boots and shoes, $50
per cent; clothing, 50 per cent;
groceries, 200 per cent; hardware,
400 per cent. Champagne, any
brand, sells at $24o per case of I
dozen quarts; beer, in barrels
containing s dozen bottles, $1oo
per barrel; whiskey, SIS to $45
per case of I dozen bottles, or
$40 to 500 per gallon.
In addition to the duty on IL
quors, there is a further tax of S.
per imperial gallon, called the
"federal tax" Saloon licenses
are worth S., 800 per annum. A
singular feature in connection
with these is charge of $50 for
an application for a license. If
the application is denied, the $50
is not returned to the applicant.
The revenue estimated by the
finance committee of the Yukon
council from liquor permits for
the fiscal year ending June 80,
1900, is $500, 900; for licenses,
100000.
The flooding of many of the
mines On the various creeks, as a
result of the continuation of the
mild weather early in the season,
may have an effect upon the out
put for the year. 1t is still rather
early to venture on a forecast;
but, taking into consideration the
improved methods now employed,
a conservative estimate places the
figures at from $25,ooo, 900 to
$35,ooo,ooo. ..-...

horsefIesh In America.

Certain butchers in San Fran
cisco have been detected in using
horseflesh as a substitute for beef
in sausages, Hamburg steaks,
etc, owing to the cheapness of
the equine flesh. The local
Board of health carefully investi-
gated samples and has brought
the offenders to justice. The
flesh of horses selected with prop
er care and killed under proper
conditions is by no means an I'M
wholesome article of diet, says
the New York Medical Journal,
but there is no excuse for foisting
1t under false pretences upon GUS
toners in place of more expensive
beef and other meats. If intend
ed to be used as a food it should
be sold openly, so that those who
partake of it may know exactly
what they are to consume and
get the benefit of the difference
in price.
In France, Germany, Austria,
Belgium and other countries
there are nipple butchers who
make speciality of this food, and,
as is well known in Paris, the
sale of horsef1esh is very consid-
cradle. The butchers, however,
are licensed, and the. animals are
licensed, and the animals are
slaughtered with as much atten-
ton to sanitation as are beeves.
Fortunately, it is very easy to de-
tect the presence of horsemeat
even in as small percentages as
five per cent. Twenty grammes
of sausage finely minced are
boiled from a half hour to an
hour in 100 cubic centimeters of
water. The volume of wafer is
then reduced by evaporation to
thirty cubic centimeters, then the
liquid is cooled and filtered.
About ten cubic centimeters are
tested with a !sw drops of COM
pound iodine solution Zone part
of iodine and twelve parts Of po-
tassium iodie in 100 parts of wa
ter). A fugitive reddish violet
celebration indicates the presence
of horsemeat. The re-agent
must be added carefully, so that
no excess is added, as this is apt
to change the color to reddish
brown. 1t is probable, as Our
medical contemporary hints, that
a little investigation in various
cities will bring to light the mys-
terious hidden ways of the saus-
age vender.-Sciemtt1fc american.

in the Secretary Of the Interior by
the act Of March 3, 1891 nc
Stat, 1899, the following rules
and regulations are hereby pre-
scribed:
I. The act, so far as it relates
to timber on public lands, as ex-
tended by the act Of February 70,
1898 (27 Stat, 444l, applies only
to the States of Colorado, Mon
tana, Idaho, North Dakota, South
Dakota, Wyoming, Nevada and
Utah, and the Territories Of Ar
iona and New Mexico. The act
originally extended to the Dis
trict of Alaska, but in that respect
it has been superseded by section
II Of the act Of May Il, 1898 (3o
Stat, 4o9), under which other
and separate regulations are pre-
scribed for the district Of Alaska.
2. The intention of the act OF
March 3, 1891, is TO enable set
tiers upon public lands and other
residents within the States and
Territories above named to secure
from public timber lands timber
or lumber for agricultural, mining,
manufacturing, or domestic pur-
poses, for use in the State or Ter
ritory where obtained, under
rules and regulations to be made
and. prescribed by the Secretary
of the Interior.
3. Settlers upon public lands
and other residents of the States
and Territories above named may
procure timber free of charge
from unoccupied, unreserved,
nonmineral public lands within
said States and Territories, strict
ly for their own use for fireWood,
fencing, building, or other agri-
cultural mining, manufacturing
or domestic purposes, but not for
sale Or disposal nor for use by
other persons, nor for export from
the state&or Territory where pro-
cured: The cutting or. removal
of timber or lumber to an amount
exceeding in stumpage value $50
in any one year will not be per-
mitted, except upon application to
the Secretary of the Interior, and
after. the granting of a special
permit. Except as above pro-
vided, it is not necessary for act
ual residents to secure permission
to take timber from public lands
in said States and Territories for
the purposes aforesaid, The ex-,
ercise of such privilege is, how
ever, subject at all times to super
vision by the Department with
view to such restriction as may
be deemnd necessary.
4. In cases where qualified per-
sons are not in position to pro-
cure timber from the public lands
themselves, it is allowable for
them to secure the cutting, re-
moving, saving, Or other manu-
facture of the timber through the
medium of others upon an agree
ment with the parties thus acting
as their agents that they shall be
paid a: sufficient amount only to
cover their time, labor and ether
legitimate expenses incurred in
connection herewith, exclusive of
any charge for the timber itself;
but=po person, whether acting for
himself, as an agent for another,
or otherwise, will be permitted to
cut or aemove n'any one year

ual operators especially are opposed TO
tying themselves up TO any agreement.
One operator said the only way the
strike can he settled Is for the strikers
TO accept the ten per cent. without any
provisions.
