was washed away by the icy torrents of the same river. Below Woods canyon old man Lewis, the South American
 miner, is sleeping the long sleep, and
 on an island near by rests genial, kind
 hearted Ben McCulloch-H. G. Allice's
 best friend Further down, by the peninsula, side by side, sleep Nick Ur-

 under giant spruce. Down toward
 Missouri's camp Jack Hayden was laid to rest where he bade goodbye to the
 boys on that awful mid-winter trip to the coast. Following close upon Jacks death was Cushman's dying prayer for his old mother, and his solemn burial at the head of Grand Rapids-the rap ids in which that brave engineer went down to his death, meeting his fate with the coolness and nerve that is sec ond nature to the man who controls the locomotives throttle. And just be- low the great glaciers Dan Menard was lowered into his grave. Here at Aga nix the grave of poor Wesley Snedeker is marked by a white cross bearing his name. and somewhere in the quicksand of the Flats old man Wilhelm is wait ing for the judgment day. Many more were the deaths in the interior that fur nished material for journals and dia- ries, while from Alganik many boats left by way of Whiteshed for Orca that were never seen on the sound How many have thus been lost, and how many an aching heart awaits tidings from those lost ones only the great God knows.
 And now as to what we have found. Bonanza and Quartz creeks produce we'll and promise better There is good placer on Bremner and a world of the finest copper on the Chittyna. Many copper claims-not for sale-have been staked near Orca, and the gold of the AIganik mining district is a marvel in quantity and quality. This district lies on the west side of the Copper River delta and was passed over by every man who went up the river from Orca, Fax and Alganik Nine out of ten condemned it yet it is good enough to interest the Hursts, famed the world over for their successful mining enter prises. Over fifty quartz claims are staked here now and each and every one shows free gold The Bonanza as 1 sayed from Sl5 to 5l22 a ton and aver ages $50, and the Bonanza can't hold a candle to the Skuka or the Lucky mine, Truly it is destined to be rich camp, The camP-TecktelIa it is calIed-is most beautifully situated on the shores of Mckinley lake, under the shadow of Pyramid peak. Just now it is under a deeper shadow, for it is night. Still the settlement is not entirely hid, for looking across the lake one can see the lights gleaming cheerful!y from the half hidden cottages on the timbered slope.
 The Copper river country is not barren land; on the other hand it is very rich district, yet it would not be wise for one who has a comfortable living in southern California to give it up fo.. the life we lead in this land of icebergs and mosquitoes, which latter are (pardon the expression) thicker than fiddlers in hell

From the latest Sound papers we are unable to learn that Congress is paying any further attention to the needs of Alaska. This is the time when con gressmeu are most valiant in making spread eagle speeches for political eff feet and the fleeting moments of the last hours. of so much value to the na- ton, will be frittered away with useless party strife and political Irecrimnations and if anything is done for Alaska it will be the hurryinc through of a measure without due consideration It will ever be thus. If Alaska ever has any laws that even approach perfection it will be those made under a form of self-government, by representatives elected by our people. The United States is getting too many irons in the fire to pay much attention to this de, tached portion. 4 general sentiment in favor of territorial form of gov ernment prevails and the next session of the fffty-sixth congress should bring if ab0ut

A PROPHESYING "FELLER."

The editor of the Alaska Truth has exhibited a number of foibles as part of his peculiarly constructed make up, but his latest fad seems to be entirely different from them all For the last two or three weeks he has taken upon himself the disposal of things tempo raj. and with unswerving gall and little regard for the final result he prophe- sies right and left. His prognostica- tious include everything from the Boer war to the decisions to be handed down by the supreme court of the United States. In his paper of May 24, this astute foreteller of human events says: 'The sense of all political parties in Alaska has been and will be recorded against Bradyism."
 The prophetic individual undoubted- Iy expected that the democrats in con vention would follow the lead of the republicans. In fact it was to out do the democrats that the Alaska adher ents of the c. o. P. so eagerly took the stand that they did. But the represen- tatives of democracy who assembled in Juneau on the 2Sth of last month were men who realized that true politics consist in upholding principle and notiu giving vent to local spite and prejudice. And the democrats scorned the -straining, camel-swallowing policy of their political opponents, and it will ever be recorded to their credit that they did SO. "A Daniel come to judgmentr Our friend of the Truth is surely false prophet.

FIFTY PER CENT.

There seems to be a.misunderstand- ing in regard to the text of the Carter bill in that part which refers to the disposal of the license money. It reads in full as follows:
 "Provided, That fifty per cent of all license moneys provided for by Act of Congress approved March third, eight cen hundred and ninety-nine, entitled Act to define and punish crimes in the district of Alaska and to provide a code of civil procedure for said dis trict, and any amendments made thereto, required to be paid by any res ident, person or corporation for busi- ness carried on within said corpora tion, shall be paid over by the clerk of the United States district court re- ceiving the same to the treasurer of said corporation, upon taking his re- ceipt therefor in duplicate, one of which duplicate receipts shall be for warded to the Secretary of the Treas ury of the United States by the clerk as a voucher in lieu of cash, and the other receipt shall be retained by the clerk. The money received by the treasurer of the corporation shall be used, under the direction of the coun cil, for school purposes"
 IMPROVEMENTS AT TREADWELL.
 The amount of work to be performed in the old stamp mill at TreadwelI is enough to almost stagger the observer. A lazy man was heard to say the other day that it gave him a ''tired feeling" to look at it. Yet the men engaged are rapidly making progress and soon a section of the machinery will be re- placed upon a new foundation. The old timbers as they are taken out are burned and the ashes, together with the sulphurets between the old floor and bed rock, will net the company quite neat sum. The work is being done without disturbing the roof or walls of the structure, which makes it all the more difficult.

LITTLE JIMMIE's BOX WORK
MADE IT EASY FOR HELENA
TO WIN THE GAME.
GOT ELEVEN HITS
BEFORE SIXTH INNING.
Score Was 10 to 5-Great Falls Won
From Anaconda-Basebau
Gossip.

Little Jimmie st. vrain. who pitched
for Butte yesterday, was not in good
form, and Helena experienced no diff
Guilty in winning the opening game Of
the series. st. Vrain was not hard to
find, and after the Senators had made
IL hits Proctor was substituted. This
was the beginning of the sixth inning,
and the change came too late to be Of
any advantage.
Aside from weakness in the box the
Butte men put up a very good game,
fully in keeping with that Of the red
men from over the range, making only
four errors during the contest. On the
other hand, Salisbury had his playing
clothes on and was only found at times
when it did but little good.
Jack made his bow as an
umpire to the Butte public yesterday,
and the verdict last night was that he
understands his business. He has a
very impressive wayaUf calling a man
out, and there is but little questioning
as to his decisions. The only objection
to him is hat he is so wide That it is
hard for a wild ball to miss him.
