THE Philadelphia Record believes
that the census system is the hot

used in that city to further Republi-
can interests. 1t says:
1.-THE new census is valuable aid TO
the study Of the Republican Machine
naddinQ of the registers OF voters. This
fraudulent registration is the basis upon
which the ballot.box suffer and his
brother in crime. the lightning calcula'
tor, operate.
This is rather a strong charge, and
the fact that it emanates from Dem
ocratic organ should cause it te be
viewed with considerable allowance.
The fact remains, however, that ten
years ago there was general dissatis-
faction throughout the country, and
there was more than one evidence
that the returns we're incorrect, most
ly in respect to incompleteness. tits
quite too early just yet to express
more than local opinions upon the
present years. census'taking, but
there is every reason to believe that
it will be more satisfactory than the
last one, as the Bureau has made
every effort to have it done in q non
partisan and thorough manner.

TIE movement looking to the es'
tablishment of I'D industrial school In
King George for colored people, when
began some years ago and was sus-
peuded through lack Of funds, we are
informed, is again taking on tangible
form. A seventeen acre tract OF land
near Port Conway, with good build
iues upon it, has been purchased for
the purpose, and Rev. q. D. GainOr'
ths resident colored Baptist preacher,
who is also president Of the board OF
managers Of the proposed enterprise,
saws that the property will be at once
put in shape so that the session OF the
school may begin sometime during
October next. We are safe in saying
that the negro can do nothing which
will tend to elevate him more and
make of him q desirable citizen than
the furthersnce Of such plans as the
one the King George people have
adopted. Furthermore, his position
in the eyes of the white people will be
considerably elevated when he demon
strates his willingness to advance IN
progress and knowledge. Wherever
such schools have been established
they have had q salutary effect upon
the everything race problem, and We
congratulate both races Of the county
Of King George upon this innovation.

NEW ARCTIC MINING
 DISTRICT DISCOVERED
Coarse Gold Found by Men
 Staked by Capt. Healy.
RICH COPPER IS STRUCK
Another Camp that May Spring Up to Rival Nome--Sizs of Discovery Claim in Klondilks Enlarged. Lioenss Limitation Extended.

Capt. J. ]. Healev, Of the N. A. T. & T. Co.,, has received a letter by the last mall brought up the Yukon over the Ice stating that a new mining district has been discovered north of Nome and east of Cap. Prince of Wales. IL Is called the Kanewgok mining district. The rivers and streams flow into the Berlng sea. says the Dawson News
 Eight claims were staked on Bituk creek, which flows lnto Port Clarence, by men grubstaked by Capt. Healey last fall. The letter states coarse gold was found In the gravel bed of the creek.
 Further north, on Buck creek, which flows into Kotzebue sound, a specimen of pure copper was tound weighing seven ounces. lt Is believed by the prospecting party that the range of hills extending east and west from Cape Prince of Wales has rich mineral belt containing perma- nent copper and gold lodges.
 In the event the lodges prove rich, it Is said. another camp will spring up between Golovln bay and Kotzebue sound that will rival Nome City.
 The Klondlke gold commissioner has re- eelved orders to the effect that the placer mining laws have been modified so that hereafter free miners certificates may be obtained for five years instead of one, as The new law also provides that dlscoverers may stake larger claims and discovery claims shall be free from royalty.
 Maj. Perry. with Northwest Mounted Police as enumerators, will begin taking the census of Yukon Territory at once. Thirty days are allowed to complete the work. Classification Is to be made of all residents of the territory as to age. sex. al legianee. religion, occupation and length of- residence.

 Messrs. Herdmsn, Domville and Stew art came out on bikes, leaving Dawson on April I, and moving by easv stages. Mr. Herdman's wheel gave out at Hootalnoua.
 "The trail," says Mr. Herdman, Is no longer fit for wheels, and 1t IS dangerous to cross the Ice of the Yukon in any way. Many places the river lee has given away In spots half mile long. have seen the Ice go from such places in half an hour. It sinks beneath the other ice and Is ground up. The trail Is good from Dawson to Big Four.
