KING OF{LAYS AN.
Capt. Spencer and the Isle Over Which

Capt. Spencer and the Isle Over Which
He Rules. ~. ~ =.
The king Of sLaysan island is in,
Honolulu with his wife, having arrived
on the bark Ceylon on visit for the
benefit of the health of her majesty,
the queen, says the . Chicago News.
The king is Capt. J. R. Spencer, we'll
known as shipmaster for nearly fifty
years. For the last few years he has
made his home on Laysan island,
where he looks after the interests Of
Hackfeld & Co., owners of the island,
in the loading of vessels sent there for
fertilizer. Since his taking up resi-
dence on Laysan the captain has been
called king of the island by those who
know him, as he is in supreme au-
thority on the little, isle from which
Hawaii has secured so much sugar
producing fertilizer, says the Homo
lulu Star. Va
Capt. Spencer lives in comfortable
four-room cottage on Laysan island,
which, he says, is a very nice little
spot, with climate a bit cooler than
Honolulu. There are three other white
men on the island, luna, a carpenter
and an engineer. Thirty Japanese Ia
borers, Capt. Spencer and Mrs. Spen-
Ger make up the rest of the population.
There is nothing for the king to do
Co. send from Honolulu are loaded
with all possible dispatch, and to re-
ceive and look after the supplies sent
to him. Laysan island is about eight
miles in circumference. It was quite
uninhabited, though fertile, until the
haole of Hawaii found that there was
good fertilizer in it's soil, and then
workmen were sent there and the ves-
sells began to call and take away as
much Of the island as they could car
ry. This was ten years ago, and since
then many shiploads of guano have
come to Honolulu from Laysan. There
are no courts, no judges, no police on
Laysan island-only Capt. Spencer,
who is master just as if he were on a
ship, a state of affairs to which he is
quite accustomed. In a few years the
fertilizer will be gone from Laysan.
Then it will be deserted, the cozy
home of Capt. Spencer will fall in
ruins and the birds will have the lit
tie spot all to themselves again. 1t
is estimated that there is enough fer
tilizer left for two or three years more
Of the quality used in the past. Capt
Spencer says that there may be great
deal more Of inferior grade.

 return of c. Racine, who started out from that place not long ago with h. dian guides and dogs to blaze an over land trail to the Big Salmon country. The White Horse people believe that such trail is practicable and think that Racine would have reached the Big Salmon before travelling sixty miles. If Mir. Racine brings favorable report and a trail is cut through, it will bring the Big Salmon country three days journey nearer Skagway.
 It is not generally known that the Eskimos have from earliest times been acquainted with a primitive form of lamp. Some authorities regard it as an independent invention. The rudest form consists of stones collected on the beach with natural cavities into which oil or fat can be poured, and the wick laid at the side. In other forms the cavities are artifcially produced. At St. Lawrence island pottery lamps pre- vail, and the size and shape bear so re- markable relation to the isothermal lines that it is possible by compari- son to assign it's geographic position to any specimen. With one doubtful ex- ception, no lamp of ancient form exist ed in America south of the Eskimos.
 A special to the Skagway Alaskan from Dawson says that Harold Stokes, formerly of the Pacific hotel at Skag- way, found the body of an unknown man at Kirkman. The body was terri bly, mangled. It had actually been dis membered and torn limb from limb. Either dogs or wild animals had feast ed upon it. The man had evidently been prospecting and had been dead several days Kirkman is 100 miles above Dawson. Later the body was identified as that of an old man named Atchesou, and was buried by the mount ed police. The theory has been ad- yanced that he committed suicide. The reason for this conclusion is that a rifle with an empty shell in the barrel was found by his side. The body was too nearly destroyed to disclose bullet wounds. He might have been using the gun for signal of distress.
 Dr. s. M. Fraser, who has charge of the N. w. M. P. on the Dalton trail, be- lieves the future of the Porcupine min ing district will be unexcelled by that of any district in the north, not except ing the Klondike. lie regards Porcu- pine creek itself as rich as Eldorado in the Klondike, and be says the creeks on the Canadian side of the line are prob ably as rich as Porcupine. To an Alas kan reporter he said: "No one, except those who have been privileged to see for themselves, realizes the immense wealth of the Porcupine country. Of course, in a general way, it is known that Porcupine creek and some of it's tributaries are rich, but that it is actu- ally as rich as Eldorado or any of the great Klondike creeks is not generally understood. The few claims which were actually worked last summer demonstrated that richer dirt was nev- CT discovered any place than on Porcu pine creek. Thousands of dollars have been taken out of pieces of ground only yard or two square on bed rock.

R. E. West, the Skagway newspaper dealer aud northern agent for the Sea tie Daily Times, who mushed into Daw- son last month, had one of his legs frozen on the trip.
 White Horse business men have be- gun to take active steps toward build ing cutoff trail from that city to the new diggiugs on the Big Salmon and Livingstone creek.
 Editor Dunbar, of the Travellers Guide at Skagway, has just been put through the libel mill for referring to a man as Ia bread and butter promoter and willy hypnotist."
 The Dominion government Is putting the finishing touches on a cutoff on the lake trail between Caribou and Atlin. The new trail starts in at Tagish and by cutting off a wide detour by the lakes shortens the distance over eight miles. The trail is over comparatively ] level ground.
 { John Irving has made application to the Legislative Assembly of the Prov enco of British Columbia for permis- sion to incorporate company with | power to construct, equip and operate railway, beginning at the junction of | the Chilkat and Klaheena rivers thence in northerly direction along the Dal- ton trail to a point not less than five miles from the provincial boundary, in the Cassiar district
 The Skagway News says that in front of the Astor House on Sixth avenue lies a pile of rough hewn timbers which are more or less rapidly being convert ed into frewood. The timber at one time formed part of the decking of Dyea's long wharf, now dlsmantled and all but transformed into ragged line of toredo eaten piles. Moralizers can choose between the sentiments, "How are the mighty fallen" and "To what base uses" etc.
 The Alaska Commercial company contemplates the establishment of large machine shops at Dawson in the near future. The plant will excel any thing in the Klondike and will give en- pIoyment to 150 men in the winter time. Manager Wilson who is now on the outside has strongly recommended the work. His principal object is to arrange for the repair of the company's numerous river steamers that are being operated from Dawson on the lower river and the new ones that it will have in the future. During the past season the A. c. company operated on the low CT river the paIatial steamers Susie, Sa- rah and Hanah, besides the Louise and Alice, also fine steamers. They have also the pilot boat Victoria, and con template building other craft. While the machine shops will be built partic- ularIy for the use of the A. c. company in it's own business it will do general work for miners and others.

The White Horse Star says that Cap tain Scarth, of the Northwest Mounted Police, has returned to Dawson from Clear creek in the Stewart river dis trict. He says there is already quite settlement, and that more than six hundred claims have been located and recorded. The average pay so far has been about 9 cents to the pan, which is regarded as very rich for surface prospecting. There are three branches which promise great results.
 A Dawson special to the skagway News says that the trail between Daw- son and Selllirll is in better condition than it has been for years and is yer itable boulevard in comparison with that of last year at this time The fact that so many scows were stranded iu the vicinity of Selkirk and a few miles above there makes it particularly fort unate, as the delayed stuff may now be sIedded into town at an advantage. The amount of northbound travel is unusually large,
 A tremendous sensation was sprung in Dawson Nov. 17th, by the arrest of several prominent merchants for offer ing impure foods for sale. Many tons of spoiled and condemned provisions were seized by thepolice officers, which merchants were offering for sale as pure foods. The seizures include thir ry-five tons of bacon, thirty tons of but ter and ten tons of ham. The stuff seized had been condemned and sold by the Alaska Commercial Go. some time ago for dog food.
 The White Pass R. R. has provided free of charge for the Railroad Elm pIoyes Association of Skagway two story athletic club house, 29x98, fitted up in first class style with reading room, billiard room and a gymnasium with all the modern appliances for the development of the physical man and the advancement of the mental. The Club will be formally opened on Dec. IS, and preparations for the "most original and unique affair in the social history of Skagway" are being made.
 Chas. Kounce, night operator at the railroad office, has received encourag- ing news from Tanana that influences him to believe that certain of his prop critics in that country will turn out amazingly rich next year, says the Skagway Alaskan. Jack Carr, the pio- neer mail carrier, according to the let ter, has a fortune in sight. The fact that Carr is wintering in the Tanana looks good for the country, as he is a veteran prospector and hardly ever winters where there are no prospects. J.R.Montgomery, one of the last men to come out from that country said that there were hardly any provisions in the country and no one could winter out on the creeks. There is a scarcity of pro visions for the prospectors at Circle, otherwise there would be much pros pecting done in the Tanana this winter. For days and some times weeks it is so cold that travelling is impossible and it requires quite lot of provisions to make camp for that length of time and it will be spring before one could get enough supplies into the interior to make it safe toremain there any length of time. The supplies will go in this winter and next summer and winter ac- tual work will be done and l anticipate big rush there next season.
