 North, Condensed.
Information for Everybody.

The Sitka Alaskan says that J. D. Menack has bonded the GIadhow cop. per mine at Ellamar, Virgin Bay, Prince William Sound, and has shipped sev- eraI tons of ore to Tacoma for mill test. He has about twenty men at work at the mine and in the spring ex- poets to put up a large mill to work the, ore.
 W. H. Moffet, who has been connect ed with the Dominion Telegraph com pany for two years, and assisted in building the line from Ashcroft, is wintering in Skagway He has been en- gagged by the electric light company for the winter. He knows nothing of the reported paralleling of the lines and says that it was understood when they quit that the work would be resumed in January.
 More than two thirds of the white, creole and native population of Kodiak and Wood island have signed a remon- strance against granting a license for the continuance of the saloon at Kodi- ak. The liquor law has been so openly and fagrantly violated that the resi- dents of those places wish to be rid of the saloon. Wood Island being within two miles of the saloon the citizens had a right to sign the petition.
 The Juneau Record Miner says that Alexander A. Whyte, who for the past nine years has been in the employ of the Appollo mine at Unga, and for four years has had entire charge of the 40- stamp mill, is in Juneau and for the past week or two has been visiting the mills in this vicinity. He recently re- turned from Snettisham and reports that the mill now under construction will be the finest ever built in Alaska, and is by far the best designed and con- structed quartz mill he had ever seen. The Skagway Alaskan says away back east in Nangatuck, Conn, princely legacy awaits Thomas Conran, who was i in Skagway recently but is now suppos- ed to have gone to theinterior in search of golden wealth, unknowingly leaving an unclaimed fortune at his former home. Thomas Conran is the son of a prosperous merchant in Nangatuck, and when the first news of the great Klondike strike reached there, he start ed for the north. Like thousands of othere he did not meet with success. At first letters were received from him regularly but they gradually grew less and less, the last one being received last summer dated at Skagway and it chronicled his intended departure for Dawson. His father was taken sick shortly afterward but although many letters were sent to the wandering son, no news was received from him and the father died without seeing him, leaving his entire fortune to the only son. Steps were taken immediately to learn his whereabouts. Postmaster Simpson

received letter from M. W. HaIlorn, a manufacturer of monuments in New Britain, Conn, who is in charge of the estate until young Conran can be locat- ed, asking for any clew to the where abouts of the young man.
 J.P. Whitney, of the firm of Whitney & Pedlar, White Horse, reports that clay bank has been discovered near that city and brick yard is to be establish ed there this winter Sand brick has been manufactured near White Horse for some time but these brick will be made from a first class clay. There is large brick making plant at White Horse which is to be placed in position and the company expect large busi ness at White Horse as we'll as at lower river points.
 Messrs. Leach, McConnaghy and Woodin, all interested in the Mckinley Creek Mining company, operating and owning a number of claims in the Por- cupine district, are visiting Juneau af- ter a successful summer, says the Rec ord. Miner. They have with them some fine nuggets as a result of their last cleau up. The company constructed during the summer over four miles of Hume and were not able to mine on large scale until near the close of the season. They expect that next sum. mer will be a very productive one for them.
 M. Zalansoff, a creole, living at Little Afognak, was shot by Arthur Rohgen, his step-father, Oct. 14th, and died in 8 few hours. Zalansof had been drink ing 0sour dough" all day and was in a quarrelsome and abusive mood when shot. He had handled his step-father and mother quite roughly and was warned to go home and not cause any disturbance. At last he started for home and said that he would come back and "fx" the old man. Be re- turned in a short time and grabbing hold of Rohgen tried to pull him out of his house. The old man grabbed his rifle and in the scuffIe that ensued Za- lansof was shot.
 The Dawson Nugget is making a timely fight against the wholesale slaughter of big game. It says the hunters are killing moose and caribou in the northwest territories just for the fun of the thing, leaving their carcass ses to rot in the forest. This causes a Skagway exchange to remark that now is the time to take steps to protect the game of the north. It will be we'll to profit from the experience of the states west of the Rocky mountains. The peo- pie of the Pacific coast and Rocky mountain states did not awake to the danger of the eXtermlnatlon of the but- faIo, elk and deer until it was too late. In few years more it will be too late in Alaska. The way to protect the game is to commence when there is plenty of it. One of the greatest att fractions in Alaska and the Northwest Territory is the abundance of large game. While no one will object to the prospector and pioneer killing all the game necessary for his own use or for the market in limited quantities, it should be some ones duty to prosecute any one who wantonly kills game in or der to satisfy an unnatural thirst for .lood.

Populists in the State who will support

there are few now and then. who. like
thousands of Democrats. are either
densely ignorant or act upon their pas

with the Democrats and Will vote the
Republican ticket for spite Others
are looking for Federal patronage and
will vote for Mckinley for revenue
only, while others arc so ignorant they
have never known what Populism is
they are as ignorant OF the science of

the adverse decision Of the authorities

as accurate the statement from Peklng
that the basis OF the aglee1aent Is to be
