THE FASTEST STEAMER
To Be Put on By tho Alaska Steam-
 ship Company.

The Alaska Steamship Company has advised Frank E. Burns, general agent at this port, that it has purchased the fleet and elegant Long Island steamer Dolphin, and will put her on the Seat tle.Skagway route. Capt. o.Brien, master of the steamer Rosalie, has gone to New York to bring the Dolphin to the coast. It is expected to have the ship here about July lst.
 The Dolphin has a speed of IS knots, is 22O feet long, 10 foot beam, and Is propelled by tripple screws driven by tripple expansion engines. She will be by all odds the fastest ship in Alaskan waters, and the Alaska Steamship com pany hope to gain big share of travel with the greyhound. She has freight capacity of 700 tons.

The Claims That Have Been

HAYNES. April ?. 1900.


 The trail uPthe Chilkat river is still good. and freighting on the ice and the Dalton trail to Porcupine city and other points in that district will con- tinue three weeks longer. Five hun dred tons of freight have gone up the river since the first of the year, and 800 more will go up before the ice breaks. Hanley and Dalton are moving most of the freight.
 Placer claims in the Porcupine dis trict have been worked extensively this winter until late, and some on Porcu- pine creek are still being worked. The fact Is learned here that the gold Is generally distributed on the creeks tributary to the Pcrcupine, particularly on Klahena and Big Salmon. A great deal of fine mining machinery is being taken into the district for use in hy- draulic work. Among the companies preparing to do work in the district are the following. backed chiefly by eastern capitalists and Juneau men: Wiley, Mix X Co.,, Findley Mining O., Porcu- pine Mining Company, Van Wrinkle Mining Company, Porcupine Trading X Mining Company, Caledonia Mining Company and the Mckinley Creek Gold Mining Company. Nearly all oi these companies are taking in mining machinery.
 It is impossible to estimate the out put of the Porcupine mining district the coming season because of the depth to bed rock. However, there are good properties in the district, and it is known s20,OO0 was taken from discov- cry on Porcupine creek last season.

Dividing the Responsibility.

When a serious mishap OF any sort
occurs we naturally look about for the
person who should be hanged. In the
case Of q railway accident especially
the public expects that responsibility
shall be fixed on someone. But the
responsibility for the collision at WI
velsfeld, England. is SO distributed and
frittered away by the verdict of the
coronsr's jury that no one can say
what was its cause or to whose default
It was really due. We are told that
tho engine driver was partly respon-
sible." but that he was not guilty Of
gross negligence; the station master
was responsible by custom" to do
something which he omitted. but that
Ibis culpability was not gross: the
signalman was negligent, "but such
negligence was due to ignorance OF q
rule" and finally that mo other per-
son was responsible" Thus each OF
those four oflcials did that which he
should not have done. or left undone
that which he ought to have done. The
result of all these contributions OF neg
ligence was q serious accident causing
loss of life. but all the miserable sim
ners are supplied by the jury with ex-
cuses for their faults.

'.In past years there has been no such
mortality among the Eskimos. since they
were well protected in winter by furs and
warm houses. In the last two years they
have lost what are to them actual neces-
stiles by trades with white people. The
latter have found Ii easy to get the very
clothes on an Indians back In exchange
for some useless trinket or worse than
useless liquor. As result the Eskimos
have been unprepared for the cold OF win
ter and are so debased physically and NOR
ally that when spring comes they are uns
fitted for even the simple work Of fish,
ance among these unfortunate people this
spring and starvation completes the raw
ages begun by disease.
AT Port Safety eighteen Eskimos have
died and were not buried, and ten were
buried by their own people. At Sinrock
there had been six deaths. The Meteor
brought twelve from there. At Penny
river six deaths were reported. OF twelve
natives there. only one, a woman, was sick
enough to require immediate attention.
