We learn that quite a little
scene took place at the N &. S.
depot Monday afternoon. 1t
seems that Mr.. Williams, the
driver of the Arlington hotel
hack, took stranger over to the
depot, and upon demanding his
fare, was cursed and abused by
the gentleman (7) who absolute
ly refused to pay him cent.
Mr.. Williams then threatened
to call an officer, which only in
furiated the man, who dehed ar
rest, boastlng that he was not
afraid OF all the officers put to-
gether. We do not intend to
dictate to our city officers. but
does it not seem little odd that
a boy is arrested and fined for
swearing on the street, while
the man, simply because he is a
stranger, is allowed to use the
very worst kind of language in

weeks, God in his wisdom saw

TOOK HIM AT HIS WORD.

The telegraph operator, who always
means to tell the truth, even II he
sometimes does fail. says a writer in
the Lewiston Journal, tells me this:
Teller was walking along the street
hanging onto his head and feeling his
brains "sloppin' up against the rafters.' -
as Bill Nye once so soulfully remarked.
Teller groaneL and finally remarked to
himself:
ooh, Lord, wish I were dead!"
He was passing a four-story brick
building that was in process of con-
struction. A mason way up aIoft
dropped a brick accidentally. 1t
swooshed down through the air and
struck Teller on the top of the koko. 1t
didn't kill him-but near it, very
near it.
To say the least, the Teller was real
provoked.
He looked up at the sky-not at the
mason. Cant We take a joker" says
he.

 The Indian murderers recently taken from Skagway to McNeu's Island to serve out the sentences imposed on them are greatly tickled with their prison uniforms and seem to thiHk they are basking in the sunshine of per- petual holiday.
 The reported quartz strike of fabu- ! Ious richness on the Indian river, in the Klondike district, has not proven as rich as supposed. The outcroppings do not show much value and no idea of the depth or permanency of the lead can be determined. The outcroppings, however, have been traced a distance of two miles.
 The various transportation compa- nies operating on the Yukon are just now engaged in little bushwhacking among themselves. Passenger and freight rates are demoralized and the travelling public are picking up some rare snaps at the bargain counter. Low fares from Skagway to Dawson are the order and one is permitted to name his own price.

 Gold was discovered on the shores ot Yakutat bay, in southeastern Alaska, 1T 1880, and the deposits are reported te be locally rich enough for exploitation This gold, as we'll as the associated black sand, is said to have been concen trated by surf action from moraini' material. At Anchor point, on Kena peninsula, workable beach placers have been found, which are said to hav' yielded S7 day to the man. On th' southern shores of Kadiak island tn, beach gravels carry light gold. Tn, gold is very fine and as yet the exploit ation of these deposits has not proved commercial success.

country before. Many simply thought that all they would have to do would be to go down to the beach and pan out gold. Now they find that the gold is harder to get than they supposed; sick ness breaks out in the camp; they have no money to live on, many of them sleeping on the ground, and, as is usual in such case, out pops the "hard luck" man with his tales of starvation, trouble and no gold. Where the gold is concentrated on the beach it will pay well with power sluicing. It was generally understood that one gasoline outfit which was at work one mile and a half above Suake river was cleaning up 31O0O a day.
 c. H. Bridges, of Everett, Wash, re- plying to the question: "What is the
 source of the rich plac- SOURCE OF CTS in AIaska?" says; ALASKA'S l believe the following PLACERS to be partial solution
 of the source of the gold found. would take the richer part Of the Klondike as an example. That it is simply the weathering down of hun dreds of feet of soft schistose rock, where the gold is found. Where the pay streak is narrow, the schists stood nearly vertical; where at varying an gle, the pay streak would be wide, as on Eldorado creek and the bench claims adjoining, where tho pay streak is wide. My reasons are that the gold found there, and elsewhere, is dattened as coming from laminated rock, like slate, shale or schist; the absence of any amount of gravel; the finding of nuggets of gold sticking to pieces of clear, crystalline quartz; and quartz that looks as though freshly broken, showing no sign of movement by water or of ice; and the finding of this crys- talline rock in place in the soft schist- ose rocks there, from the thickness of paper to some inches in thickness. Al so finding gold in place in two places widely separated. And my advice to men going to prospect, from the Cues nelle river to Point Barrow, that know nothing of mines, would be to hunt for the soft schists and slates that will be found on either side of the belt of granite, the softly rounded hills and cream-colored dirt as found on the Klondike; and my belief is that gold will be found in hundreds of new places and it seems to me there are big chanc- es for capital to prospect, if done intel ligently.
 The completion of the survey and demarkation of the provisional bound
 ary line in the Porcu- PROVISIONAL pine district, showing BOUNDARY that nearly one-half of LINE that district together
 with much of the Dal- ton toll road leading to Porcupine City now lies within Canadian territory, has stirred the American miners in that district to protest in writing to the president. The protest is signed by l 146 miners and is an eloquent presenta- tion of the extent of the American surrender and an impassioned appeal for the correction of the costly and unwarranted mistake of the United States in consentihg to the modus vi, veni. The petitioners represent that The modus vivendi has permitted the British to seize acres of the public do
