The weather on the inside is begin ming to have a wintry flavor. Zero was registered at White Horse the other day. Of course he just blew into town as a transient, but he promised to re- turn shortly with his friend Jack Frost and do little landscape painting.
 One of the original Panama locators, just out from that district, says it is a mistaken idea that that country is plastered over with power of attorney locations. He says the miners upon the organization of that district made special provisions to guard against that evil.
 It will not be matter of surprise to people of these parts who have kept measurably we'll posted on its affairs, to learn another year that the Porcu- pine is the richest district in Alaska 5000 from two feet of bed rock is cer- tainly an indication that such may be the case.
 Chas. Lind, of Skagway, was awarded S25OO damages against the Pacific Con, tract company for the loss of an arm. The company now demands new trial on the ground of misconduct of the jury, alleging that they were allowed to separate and converse with those not of the jury.
 A recent Ottawa dispatch says that the Dominion government has official Iy announced that the Yukon placer mining regulation providing that every alternate claim shall be reserved for the government, has been rescinded and these claims are now thrown open to the public.
 Jacob Salamon, a business man of Skagway, was burned to death in his store on Sept. 30th The explosion of kettle of tar set fire to the building and Salamon perished while endeavor- ing to arrest the progress of the flames He leaves a wife and two children in San Francisco.

"There are four creeks and bars in the Koyukuk that yield fair pay, no matter what people may tell you who rushed in as far as Battles and then rushed out again. These are Myrtle, Tramway bar, Gold bar and Emma creek, and on half a dozen of the streams colors are found, though the pay streak in them has not been located. On Tram way bar perhaps the best pay is being taken out, because it is the best pros pected, but think Gold bar will event ualIy discount it in actual yield per men employed. Some of the Myrtle claims are doing better than wages, but the great fault of this creek is that it is spotted. You will be in pay one day and out of it the next. Emma creek is yielding at least 82O per day to the shovel. Yes, I am going back there just as soon as I arrange some business affairs that brought me out to Daw- son. The country isn't dead by any means"
 Martin Donohue, of Seattle, arrived from Panama yesterday, says the Skag- way Alaskan of Oct. 1st, with mag nificent specimen of caribou antlers, in velvet, that he had carefully carried on his arm for over 100 miles. He has not high opinion of the Tanana country, so far as his experience is concerned, but was careful to say that others might find it more encouraging than he had, and possibly would do so. He went in on the first stampede, stay ed in five or six weeks, and returned to Circle. A short time afterward he went to upper Panama, and came out at Forty Mile, having found nothing par ticularly encouraging, certainly not enough to lead him to go back to the district. He left on the Dolphin.
 News has reached Dawson of the dis covery of a new placer district near the Tillawalla river, 125 miles from the Tanana and about 250 miles from Cir cle City. The find was made in August by Abe Spring, Tom Dolan and three other men. They were camped for din- ner at small creek when Spring, who is former Seattle newspaper man, tried pan of top gravel and found colors. Four holes were sunk to bed rock, distance of twenty-four feet, and as high as S1 pan was obtained. The stream was called Davis creek and the TiIlawalla district organized by the discoverer, who also prospected four other creeks in that vicinity and found gold. As near as can be ascertained the Tillawalla lies in direction almost due northwest from Tanana.
 Prof. R. G. Mcconnell, of Ottawa, connected with the geological de- partment of Canada, arrived in White Horse Thursday of last week, says the Star, from the Stewart rlVer, where ne has been engaged during the past sum- mer in scientific work for the depart ment. Prof. Mcconnell is now making an examination of the geological form ation of the country in the vicinity of the copper properties near White Horse and his reports will be looked forward to with much interest. Prof. McCon- nell while in the Stewart river country discovered the petrifed head of an i'm mense buffalo bull in an almost perfect state of preservation. According to the professors calculations at least 200o years must have elapsed since this

monarch of the plains roamed in the wilds of Stewart river The head is now at the office of MT. J. T. Bethune and has been viewed with much curios- ity and interest by large number of people.
 The Dawson Nugget of Sept. 18th says that the order received by Assist ant Gold Commissioner Bell from Ot- tawa on Sunday, as published in yes terday's Nugget, is of more sweeping nature than was at first supposed, as the order empowers the putting up at public auction everything in the way of mining claim or mining prospect not otherwise owned than by the gov ernment, and if such property is not sold at the regular monthly auction day in November, which is the second of that month, it will all be open to To- cation by duly accredited miners, those having regularly acquired licenses. In this list will be included all those claims and fractions on Bonanza, Eldo. rado and Hunker which were advertis- ed some months ago to be sold at auc- tion but were withdrawn just before the day of sale.
 It is too soon to judge as to the mer- it's of Panama as a mining camp is the  verdict of B. Austin, William Lessman and George Trinier, trio of miners from the district which is now attract ing the attention of prospectors, says the Skagway Alaskan. These gentle men have all spent full year in the district and are in position to speak by the card. They say that encouraging prospects have been found but so far as known the country is spotted and all the ground will not pay with the present high cost of transportation. They all agree that there will be many miners in the country this winter and they are coming back from the south to go in again. The country that has been prospected where favorable indi cations have been found is about forty miles in diameter, though so far the only portions that have been thorough ly prospected are, Deep, Faith and Homestake creeks. These flow into the Chataneka river, a stream about 250 miles long, and which is one of the branches of the Tillawalla river. The Tillawalla river flows into the Tanana about 90 miles from it's confluence with the Yukon. It will be about May or June next before the true worth of the district will be known. The camp is summer proposition. The ground is not frozen on bed rock which is from five to eight feet deep. But it is hard camp to work on account of water which is present on bed rock winter and summer. There has been consid- erable work done on Faith, Deep and Homestake creeks, and at times during the summer it seemed as if many were going to make big money, but at the close of the season it could not be said that money was made on account of the crude way no doubt of handling dirt and the great expense of getting into the country. No one should go into the Tanana without sufficient money to stay long enough to develop property, as there is no prospect at this time that there will be large demand for labor for year or more.

A Midnight Escapade.

1t was midnight as a laundering
knock came at the door of room No. 4S
Phenix hotel
What is wanted?" asked the occu-
pant as he sat up in bed with furiously
beating heart.
I'VE want you! Open this door,
Never
Then take the consequences"
The man sprang out of bed and hur-
riedly dressed himself. His face was
pale and his hands trembled, but he
shut his lips with a determination to
sell his life dearly. He heard foot
steps moving in the hall, and presently
his door was burst from its hinges and
dozen men burst into the room. They
found him standing with a revolver in
each hand and the light of battle in his
eyes.
You may hang me-" he said in a low,
tense voice, but IL of you will go into
the other world before me-
"Who said anything about hanging"
inquired a voice.
But you have come for that. Twelve
years ago in this town l killed four
men. You have recognized me and
have come for revenge"
Not much, stranger. We don't know
anything about the four men and don't
want to. You live in Missouri, don't
you?"
81 do"
We'll, what we wanted to ask was
whether three of kind beat a straight
in yeur state"
They do not.'
''Then that's all. and you can go back
to your snooze. Sorry to have disturb
ed you, but we had n dispute and
wanted to settle it."-New York Sun.

Turkish Police Justice.

A trifing dispute between a Kurd
and an Armenian on q street in Con-
stantinople the other day led to an
amusing instance of justice as 1t is dis
pensed by the Turkish police.
A tobacco box was found on the pave
ment, as alleged, by a Kurd. An Ar
menian claimed the box as his own.
Neither would give in, and the dispute
waXed warm. From words they were
near coming to blows when a police
man came up, but he could not decide
the question of ownership.
AT last the Armenian suggested that
the policeman ask what was in the box.
Tobacco and cigarette paper" said
the Kurd promptly.
'SThe box contains nothing but 10
plasters," said the Armenian, smiling.
The officer opened the box and. find
ing the Armenian was right settled the
dispute by giving him the box.
THE Armenian is the owner of the
box" he said. The Kurd is a liar"
Here he smote the Kurd over the
head. Allah be praised! For my trout
BILE in deciding this complicated affair
I will keep the 10 piastres.'

RoCKEFELLERs ARE SAFE.
Texas Can't Get EN- as Long m They Stay
in New York.

Albany, \. Y, Oct. 12.-There was
quite a good deal of a mix-up here yes
terday over an attempt to straighten
out the position of the requisition Of
Governor Sayre, of Texas, for the per-
sons of William Rockefeller and other
members of the board of directors of
the Standard OIL company. Several
statement were given out, variouly al
leging that Governor Roosevelt or Act
ing Governor Woodruff had taken final
action in the matter, but last night it
was definitely ascertained that the only
action taken in the case was by Judge
Joyce, the governors pardon clerk, who
merely gave to Governor Sayre's coun-
sci an opinion that unless his papers
of requisition could state that the per-
sons wanted had been in the state of
Texas and had committed n crime
there they could not be taken from this
state.
This rule was observed in a similar
case by Governor Flower, and is based
on a decision of United States Supreme
Court Judge Harlan that person could
not be taken to state for trial unless
having committed a crime in that state
in person.

BLOOD

We live by our blood, and
on it. We thrive or starve, as
our blood is rich or poor.
There is nothing else to live
on or by.
When strength is full and
spirits high, we are being re.
freshed, bone muscle and brain,
in body and mind, with con-
tinual flow of rich blood. This
is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest
is not rest and sleep is not
sleep, we are starved; our blood
is poor; there is little nutri-
ment in it.
Back of the blood, is food, to
keep the blood rich. When it
fails. take SCOTS emulsion of
cod-liver oil. 1t sets the whole
body going again-man woman
and child.

IT'S THE RULER THEY WANT.
Anarchists Consider Kings Good as
Presidents Alleged Plots.

New York. Oct. PA dispatch to
The Journal and Advertiser from Rome
says: THE anarchist BertolanL ar
rested at Milan as q suspected accom-
plice of Bresci, has made confession
about anarchist plots. He said: AT
an anarchist meeting in Paterson, N.
J., seven men were selected to kill
kings and chiefs of states. One Of
them was allotted to kill Mckinley or
Bryan during the presidential cam
paign. 1 do not know the name of the
man who was assigned to this duty.
~ believe other plots having the
same object have been organized in
the United States. Anarchists have
killed kings and queens. Now they
should Kill a president of thVrepublic
to show the world that for anarchists
there are neither monarchies or repub-
lies, and that a king is as cheap as a
president"
