Placer Mines of POrCupin0
A Summary of the Chief Natural Characteristics
 of the District Carefully Prepared.

SCSosCrS-SJ v V W " V ' ''
 There appeared in the Skagway Bud get on March 2Sth an exhaustive and very complete description of the Porcupine district, in which many of our people are interested and which is now attracting considerable attention from the outside. Thinking it will prove interesting to many of our read CTS, we herewith reproduce the most salient feature of the article:
 The Porcupine district is in reality but a part of the Harris district, and embraces that territory lying north of the Mission and adjacent to the Chil, kat River and it's tributaries. Ascend inc the Chilkat, the first stream of i'm portance is the Kicking Horse, which empties into the Chilkat about seven miles above the Mission. This stream is on the left bank of the Chilkat and is easy. of access. Last year it's two principal creeks, Eldorado and Bonan ga. were located, but no work of satisfactory nature was done or attemP- ted. and it offers field for energetic prospectors, both in quartz and in placer.
 Following up the Chilkat on the left bank the Takhin is encountered, a stream of about twenty miles in length, and one of the coming centers of in terest. This stream runs through a sec tion that permits the construction of a wagon road at little cost. It is navi- gable for canoes for F or l5 miles, al though it has a heavy fall and carries a large volume of water On this stream coarse gold may be found by simple banning. and the sand is full of crush ed rubies and garnets. Goat and GIa- cier creeks have been but little pros pected. Marble creek has shown up in a satisfactory manner, although the work of sluicing was carried on in a limited manner and confined practic- ally to one claim. Wolf creek prospects fairly we'll, and lies on the right bank of this stream and comes in at point opposite Marble. The land along the banks of this stream, with the except ion of a few miles on the right bank, is composed of a series of gentle rising benches which extend to the mount, tains, which rise more or less percipit- ouslv. These mountains are scanned with quartz, and several ledges have been discovered, running high in gold silver, zinc, copper and lead. This sec tion is we'll timbered, and its water power is wonderful and easily handle ed. All that is needed here to bring il to keep it there is for some knowing miner to go to bedrock. For the quartz miner it is certainly worthy of atten
 tion.
 The next stream is the Big Salmon
 with it's several creeks coming in oppo site Kuckwan Crown One) at a poinr
 20 odd miles from the Mission. Ascend
 ing the river is not an easy task unless | l. it is in winter or before the July fresh

have their attention called to the grow inc evil of toll roads. The Dalton road company has established, at great cost. too. a road from the harbor to Porcupine and thence to the interior, but the government officials were either asleep or negligent when the right-of way was granted. Certain it is that 1t is a source of much discontent and should be looked after sharply, and If the facts as represented to the depart ment and upon which the charter was issued, were not in accord with the truth, the department should be called upon to rescind the privilege.
 The modus vivendi boundary line is way inside the old line and much val uable territory property belonging to the government is thus thrown within Canadian dominion. There never has been any question as to the old line here, but until the commissioners, who are expected in May, settle this mat ter it will remain a cause for friction. The police post itself lies we'll within Canadian soil and if any doubt was raised as to this fact it would be re- moved even to Rainy Hollow.
 Prospectors going into either the Big Salmon or Porcupine sections, looking for placer locations, will find but little encouragement, for as l have stated, this section is practically located and until the locations now made lapse by limitation there is no opportunity to stake, and any attempt to do so must only result in trouble. The Takhin and the Kicking Horse are not so sit uated. Of course, quartz miners will find this whole section worthy of care ful attention. This season will see the beginning of what will prove to be one of the best mining towns in Alaska.

ct. It winds it's way in and out of the mountains and it is no child's play to ford it or handle a boat on it. Coming into it near the mouth is Jechko or Lake creek, a stream that affords Chil, kat lake an outlet. This creek has shown up fairly well, as have Birch and Clear creeks, which feed this lake from point farther up.
 The next stream is the Little Salmon. On this tributary a great deal of hard work has been done, and the results are far from discouraging,, hut like many other streams, bedrock has not been touched, This stream flows through one of the finest timber belts in Alaska, and it's mountains are full of quartz.
 Summit creek has shown good re- turns to the pan, and this season will show some good substantial work upon it.
 The land lies well and has the advan- tage of natural drainage, thus bringing the water percolation down to minimum, and causing but little trouble in sinking or drifting.
 The next creek is Nugget; here vast amount of work has been expended and the results obtained are far in excess of the fondest dream. The creek has a fall of over l, 1000 feet and the water may be easily handled and conducted any place desired.
 The creek is throughly and accurate Iy staked, and there is absolatly no ground open to location on it or adia- cent to it.
 Across from Nugget creek a large area of land has also proven very val uabIe, and like Nugget creek, is not for sale nor open for location.
 Above Nugget is Cottonwood. But little work has been done aside from sinking prospect holes. Yet the creek is most promising. Lying between Nugget and Cottonwood a bench-or series of benches-is found, where much work has been done. The gravel lies fully 90 feet deep in many places and one can make wages by means of ground sluice. The average depth of I this section is from 20 to 9 feet, with but little top dirt to remove, and prac. ticalIy no timber to cut. The only dis, advantage is the prevalence of boulders and without the aid of powder and der rick one can accomplish little.
 Double Cross comes next, but be- yond banning nothing has been done Canyon creek follows, this has prov ed all that could be expected under the conditions under which it was pros pected. Several quartz lodes have beer found in the Salmon section, and while the owners are reticent as to its value the ore is known to assay well and it is of easy access. The Salmon is navi cable for canoes for 20 miles above Walkers from June until December.
 Rock and Boulder contains bott quartz and placer, but nothing is knowr

ofits worth; nothing has been done to demonstrate that it goes lc to the pan let alone soc as has been enormously stated. Herriman creek, with it's trib- utary, Spruce, has prospected we'll, but beyond that nothing has been accomp- lished. Lying at the head of Spruce, little to the southwest, is Walkers lake, with EIdorado and Bonanza creeks. This country needs thorough syste- matic prospecting, and good results await such efforts.
 The next stream is the famous Por- cupine. The best way to judge of the results of the work done here, and es- peciaIIy during the winter, is to try to buy claim.
 Mckinley is a close second. The great disadvantage of these places lies in the expense attendant upon handl- ing water-both from the stream and for piping.
 Glacier creek above is all in Cana dian territory, and it too has proven very rich.
 This summary covers the prime ipal creeks of this section. Now, let us look at the country as offering inducements to the average miner. Is it poor mans country. or not? On Porcupine and on Glacier, with Mckinley and other trib- utary creeks of this particular section, you may find some claims being worked by pick and shovel; that is the miners are simply running their dirt through sIuice boxes set in the creek, and this is only possible on creek claims. Just so long as they keep above creek level they can drift, but to go down to bed rock requires a pump. Supposing wages can be made working in this way, how far can you afford to carry your dirt to your boxes before the wages become too low to work it in that manner? Is such such a proposition pick and shovel one? think not. However one may procure a primitive hydraulic plant, fire hose and nozzle, and do good work, if he can get water, and that article, though plentiful, is very expen- sive to handle in this section.
 On Big Salmon there are essentially no pick and shovel propositions, al though on Nugget and on ground across the river one could do a great deal for two or three seasons in this way. Big Salmon is a typical hydraul, ic proposition and is far the best of any other section, because it has area, depth to bedrock, water power, dump, and costs about one-third less than other creeks to get the gold out. This is also true of the Takhin section, which is easily reached by crossing the low di- vide near Glacier.
 Above and below Haines ore has been found running heavy in gold, silver zinc, lead and copper, and development is being pushed rapidly. Just outside of Haines and up the Chilkat good copper ledge has been opened, and talk ing into consideration the Porcupinf district is by far the best field for in vestigation, investment and business enterprise.
 Business men should look into this matter carefully and offer better in ducements for trading. Transports tion facilities on the canal are below the standard. Many are quitting at Juneau because they can buy at more reasonable figures.

A FEAST OF HUMAN FLESH.

Three chiefs of the Allen bay Indians have been arrested and taken to Van couver, B. C., to be tried for their lives for practising canibalism. The ofense was committed three weeks ago at potlatch given by Chunk, an Indian who made a fortune in the Klondike by packing. Volunteers were first called for to deliver up their carcasess as dainty morsels upon which these lovers of human flesh might german dize. Two young bucks and buxom young squaw responded to the patriotic call and in nature's garb stood forth as toothsome temptations. They were inn mediately bounced upon by these hu- man wolves, who sank their fangs in their quivering and living flesh, tearing it from the bones and savagely tapping at the warm blood as it trickled from the wounds made by their teeth. This first course in the epicurean spread not appeasing their appetites, three bodies of recently deceased Indians were dug up from their graves, placed upon fire and roasted and then eaten with every possible manifestation of ghoulish glee. And for this the Canadian authorities propose to condemn them to mingle with the shades of their forefathers.

TOO MUCH GALLERY.
Commercial Club Will Ask For
Change in Auditorium Plans.

The Grand Rapids School Furniture
company of Grand Rayids, Mich, will
furnish the chairs for the Topeka audi
torium They will be of birch wood,
light enough to be easily movable, and
will cost S1.O3 each. The chairs will be
placed in the auditorium not later thar
September q.
This was decided at the special meet
ing of the Topeka Commercial club last
night. The committee appointed to look
after the seating of the auditorium. Of
which Mr.. George w. Crane is chair
man. made a report recommending the
Grand Rayids 81 03 chair After an ex-
animation of the samples brought into
the club room by Mr.. Crane the club
unanimously adopted the recommended
ton of the committee.
The committee further recommended
that the gallery Immediately over the
in the plans, be not built. Mr.. Crane
and Mr.. Holman explained that the con-
struction of the gallery would seriously
interfere with the acoustic properties of
the building. It was shown that its
abandonment would do away with less
than 200 seats and Architect Holland
stated that il would in no way injure
the details of the interior. The recon-
mendation was adopted and the Com
mercial club will ask the city council
to see that the gallery is not built
The expenses incidental to the open
ing of the auditorium will be paid out

There are a good many sidewalks in

Talk Of a bridge between Oakland

During the week OF the street fair It
was in a state of suspended animation
It is now revived But talk doesn't

call a public meeting and talk there,
and get committees to work and see
what can be done?
North Topeka readers will remember
the bitter opposition made a few sears

All kinds Of evil predictions were made

and has now been in operation for six
months. None Of the predictions have

Hodge. the Rev. and Mrs. Suncox and
the Rev and Mrs. J. A. Miller. In one
of the letters. dated April IS. the writer
refers to the boxer movement and
praises the magistrate of Pao Ting Flu
for the friendly reception he gave the
missionaries. The letter reads in part:
THE magistrate of the place said that
ne had posted proclamation fun Of
threats to the boxers. He sent ten sold
iers to watch the chapel the first part of
the night and ten others the last part
He also sent messenger out here 0he

patrolled the locality all night Today
the boxers put up a poster saying that
the god Of war had come down to ex-
terminate the foreign devils. The
drought throws many out of employ
ment. Nothing is being done in the
uelds because the earth is so dry"
The other letter is dated April 27. and
tells of a fight between Roman Cath

CHINESE Will FIGHT
Rather Than Submit to San Francisco
Health Board.

San Francisco. June 5.-Chinese Con-
sui General Ho Vow says:
My people will never submit to the
detention camp scheme. We will take
the matter to the courts. but fear that
even if we are beaten there the Chinese
viii fight before allowing themselves to
be herded over to Mission Rock by the
board Of health's inspectors.
The feeling among the Chinese is
such that they would prefer to risk
their lives rather than be compelled to
remain in the power Of the American
physicians for an indefinite period.
our physicians VIII take samples of
the blood of all sick Chinese who cannot
possibly recover AS soon as all hope is
gone inclsiOns will be made and a vial
Of blood taken so that our doctors will
be able to determine the cause of death
This course has been forced upon US
by the board Of health's action in re-
fusing to allow our physicians within
the lines where they can keep a watch
on the work of the city's doctors. They
cannot prevent US from taking material
for tests before the man is dead"
