The N. w. M. police at Big Salmon station have moved into winter quart CTS on the c. D. Go. cutoff between La Barge and Minto. The murder which took place on this portion of the trail last winter is probably responsible for the move, says the Alaskan. Last win ter their were no police at all on this eighty odd miles of trail. This year it is to be patrolled the same as the other portions of the winter trail.
 The Sitka Alaskan says that one by one the old Russian landmarks of Sit ka are passing from sight. The next to go will be the old Club House which has for some time been considered as menace to the safety of the town be- cause of its infamable condition. This building was at one time the headquar- ters of the "Elite" club of the Russian nobility, and could it talk would un- doubtedly tell many tale of pomp and splendor.
 A new strike is reported in what has been named Chicken creek, near Daw- son, and according to John Campbell, who recently returned to Dawson from the creek, yields pay as high as 75 cents to the pan. About three monts ago this creek was stampeded for quartz, but Campbell says it has never even been prospected for placer before and that hole he put down six feet is the only one to be seen thereabouts. Chick en creek lies between Dawson and Forty Mile.
 News was received by wire at Skag, way Nov. 1st from Dawson that the riv- CT had frozen over at Forty Mile. There is a large bar just below Forty Mile City and the ice from Forty Mile river and the floating ice in the Yukon form ed a jam at the bar and the river froze almost immediately. Up to F o'clock that night the river at Dawson was op- en, although it was running full of ice and jam was momentarily expected. Shore ice was forming all along the Upper Yukon and the river is expected to close for it's entire length before the end of the week. The temperature was then IT below zero and rapidly lowering.
 The place of the new placer strike be- low Dawson is on a plateau or bench running back from the river just below Moosehide. It is on the same side of the river as Moosehide and between Moosehide creek and another creek flowing into the river little farther down. In going back from the river one first goes over low bench, then up an inclined bluff or hill, then over the
 brow of the hill and straight back. The distance over the low level up the bill and back to discovery is probably 3O0C feet. The bench or plateau back of the
 brow of the hill and the same on which discovery is staked extends back from the brow probably three miles. There is plenty of room for stalking yet. A similar plain lies just beyond the creek
 below. Many miners believe that the discovery made opposite Moosehide or
 the left limit benches of the Yukon i: simply a section of the Bonanza creek white channel. They argue that ac cording to the direction and trend ot the white channel from French hill down as far as traced it must cross the Klondike, and cutting through the
 hills back of Flagstaff, strike the first

. A. Andrews, who owns number of copper properties in the vicinity of White Horse, has uncovered an ore body at depth of forty-seven feet that justifes him in the belief that he has property worth million. His latest assay shows S223 in copper, S18.50 in gold and S9.45 in silver.
 The Alaskan says that Skagway dem ocrats will present W. J. Bryan with a souvenir of the election just held in Skagway. It is proposed to mount a silver loving cup with Porcupine mug get and appropriately engrave the cup, reciting the events of the election and setting forth the result.
 The Skagway Alaskan says that W. H. Walraph, a logger employed by Dal- ton mill, who had his ear torn off by falling tree near Porcupine City, ar rived in that city Nov. 1st to receive medical aid. The tree struck him on the left side of the face tearing off bis ear and scraping the flesh off his cheek bone. His right hand was also badly injured.
 The White Horse Tribune says that Dr. Sippreli, the dentist, has couple of peculiar looking birds which he bag ped last Tuesday. They are species of grouse, but peculiarly different in some parts from the ordinary bird of that species. The doctor intends sending them to Forest and Stream to allow the ornithological editor of that magazine figure them out.

 The Canadian government has decid- ed to hold no more auctions of Klon- dike claims. In the future claims which may, for misrepresentation or other reasons become abandoned, will remain common domain, subject to location by anyone who may desire to stake the property.

There are a mum Der of such claims now held by the gov ernment, and these were sold on No vember 5, and after that date no more auctions will be held.
 H. IT. Hildreth, the census man, says that Valdez, or rather the Copper river country is going to be one of the great est mining countries in the world. Il is simply marvellous the amount of cop
 per to be found in that district. There has never been anything like it in the
 world. Very rich placer diggings have
 also been discovered. Of the forty mer who started in there last February

series of benches of the Yukon, where the discovery is reported to have been made. If their reasoning is true, then the white channel also exists on the right side of the river, somewhere near Moosehide, and will also eventually be located at the point where it ittransverse- ly crosses the Klondike and enters the high benches.
 J. w. Smith came in on the Alert with a very heavy satchel which some people thought must be the cleanup of his two Porcupine claims says the Skagway Alaskan. When the satchel was opened, however, it was found to contain only specimens of copper and gold bearing quartz from eight claims he worked on during the summer in Rainy Hollow. These claims are group ed under the name of the Le Roi Min ing Co.,, limited, and only development work has so far been done on them. The average assays so far obtained run in values from S45 to $50 per ton.
 The fact of the matter is that big fizzle has been made of the job and a serious reflection is cast on the compe- tency of the responsible parties, says the White Horse Tribune in discussing the failure to complete the Atlin-Ash- croft telegraph line. Had they been working intelligently the line would have been up and in operating order several weeks ago. The men from one end or the other got away out of their course with the result that the wires have passed distance of one hundred miles and at no place in all that space are the parallel lines nearer than sixty miles apart.
 Note the diversity of talent of Mir. 1 Edward Chamberlain, who modestly announces in the columns of the Sitka Alaskan his long list of accomplish ments, as follows: "Draws up Powers of Attorney, Leases and all kinds of Deeds; Amanuensis; Mechanical, Ar chitectual and Free-Hand Draughts man; Expert Book-keeper, Painter in Oil and Water Colors; Sign Painter and Letterer; Photographic; Job Prin- ter and Practices in U. s. Commission CTS Court. N. B. Lessons in Elocu tion." He is a second cousin to Cham berIain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, who also performs many won ders.
 H. H. Hildreth writing to the Sitka Alaskan, under date of Sept. 29th, says: Nothing in California can compare with the scene as it is in Cook Inlet today. The water is as smooth as mill pond. The sun shines bright and there is hap piness everywhere. The lower hills and mountains are mixture of green and brown while the high mountains are beautiful and grand in their lovely new dress of white. Mount Iliamma and Redoubt are burning and smoking making striking contrast with their surroundings of snow and glaciers. In the distance can be distinctly seen the great and noblest of all mountains, Mt. Mckinley, with it's rugged peak-forev- CT covered with snow

GREAT DAM GAVE WAY.
Eight Men and Boys CauEh, i'm the
Flood. and Only One of Them
Made His Escape.

Austin, TeX.,, April 7.-The great
dam across the Colorado river. which
was constructed seven years ago at
cost of an even million dollars, was
swept away Saturday by an pnpre-
cedented flood in that river. The
break occurred at 11:15 o'clock, caus-
ing an instant rise of fully so feet in
the river below the dam. This tor
rent of water swept down upon the
broad valley below in all of it's force,
leaving death and destruction in it's
wake.
The power house, municipal water,
electric light and power plant stu
ated Immediately below the dam, was
flooded Immediately, and eight per-
sons, men and boys, We're caught in
the power room, and all except one
were drowned like rats in a trap.
Those who drowned in the power
room were: John Baiz, Walter Bios
som, Frank Pinget, Thomas Kirkpat-
rick and "Old Dan," colored, all en-
ployes, and three boys who were
watching the food from the power
house windows.
Frank Jones, an engineer, miracu-
lously escaped by grabbing belt
and hauling himself out hand over
hand through an opening in the roof
of the building before the water
reached him.
Reports from the neighboring coun-
try are to the effec, that everything is
under water. In Williamson county
north of here, railroad bridges and
trackage have been laid waste and all
trains have stopped running. Hun
dreds of head of cattle have been
drowned and miles of fencing torn
down and washed sway. In Bastrop
county and in the southern portion
of this county similar conditions pre-
vail, everything being under water,
and much loss of property is report
ed. The country tributary to the Col
orado river all the way down it's
course is being inundated, and while
it is believed the worst IS over, the
loss as estimated will exceed some
$3,OOO,OOO, counting Austin as the larg-
est loser.
