LETTER FROM ALASKA.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazette.
Juneau, Alaska, March Is My last
letter written in Juneau on my way
from Skaguay to Seattle on the Pacific
coast steamship Cottage City, told you
of the heavy storms of wind and suow
then existing in this part of the world,
and at this date, writing on board of
the same steamer as we lay 10 the Ju-
neau docks, on our course from Seattle
to Skaguay, can now tell you of calm
seas, bright sunshine and balmy wealth
or, the most remarkable FIR this season
OF he year, and in wonderful contrast
20 ny outward voyage in January. In
deed the entire trip from the time we
left Seattle on Sunday night al O'Clock
up to this writing Thursday nighi) was
like delightful picnic, the weather
jus. bracing enough to make IL charm
log, with clear sky and bright warm
sua. From Seattle to Victoria with q
fivC hour stop at Oyster Bay to take on
coal, and then outwards through the
straits and across the sounds reaching
the Alaskan boundary and stopping at
the u. s. customs station TO leave mail,
no. even rough enough on Queen Char
lo,te sound to make you seaslck, and
scarcely more than stiff breeze all the
wsy.
Tnen we steamed smoothly along be-
tween the islands, reaching Ketchikan.
wi ich is now the centre of au ex.en-
sivs mining district which is attrac ing
vile attention, and l noticed that the
,oGn had doubled in size since my last
viz it there in May, 1899, with bright
prospect ahead. Leaving Katchiksn
We had q seven hours run to Fort
Wrangle where the steamers laid over
all night so as to have daylight to run
through the Wrsugle Narrows, as the
passage is very dangerous one and
O ly safe by day. From Fort WranSle
to juneau il a DAVIS run, and we reach
ed here about dark this evening, the
scenery Cd the way being very grand
ara attractive. broad bays closed 10 by
nen yily timbered mountains, backed BY
high peaks, white and icy, pointing to
the sky, with here and there a huge
glacier lying with its blue and jagged
edges between the mountain slopes
stopping up the head of some deep
car yon, the bright sun, magnificent
weather and smooth waters all daz-
zirg the eye and impressing the
grandeur upon the mind.
From Juneau we enter the Lynn Ca
nal and sail about 100 miles to it's head.
where the new city of Skaguay is To-
caied-the famous gateway to the Yu
kon gold fields. Travel is all heading
north now and many are coming this
wsy and will start from Skagusy by
,hs route OF the White Pass and Yukon
Railfoad, via Bennett and the lakes, to
the Yukon river, using horses and dogs
with sleds after leaving the railroad at
Lake Bennett. Numbers are taking
this route for Nome, first going to Daw-
son, to be ready to 20 down the river
when the ice breaks up and get In
ahead of the steamers from Seattle to
St Micbael's. l learn from Dawson
miners that the gold output from the
creeks near that town will continue TO
pay we'll for some years to come.

Southern Pacific Plans.

1t is stated that the real intent of
the Lake cutoff of the Southern Pa
cifc is to reach Salt Lake City and
there make connections with the
Burlington. 1t is also stated as the
intention of the Southern Pacific to
entirely ignore the Union Pacific, the
relations between the two becoming
more strained. In the determination
to bring about an Eastern connection
at Salt Lake, the Southern Pacific
will ignore Ogden. However, in los
ing the Southern Pacific Ogden will
gain the Burlington, although the
terminals of both lines will be at
Salt Lake. -SiLUer State.

Give To Contract.

The Comstock Pumping Associa-
ton held meeting in San Francisco
Monday and the Risdon Iron Works
notified the association that they had
decided to give up the contract which
they entered into some time ago to
lower the water in the G. & G. shaft
500 feet. The Risdon Company has
been paid the sums stipulated in the
contract and it seems strange that
they should go back on their agree.
ment. The Risdon people, however,
have agreed to supply the Pumping
Association with pipes and nozzles
for year. In the meantime some
other ami more successful method OF
pumping the water will no doubt be
adopted .-Enterbrtse.

Dividend &C mpany Operations.

Superintendent Rae came down
from Como Thursday and reports
that work is progressing nicely at
the Dividend Company's plant. A
test of low grade ore has been made
by plate amalgamation and concen-
trating and the result shows saw
ing of S. per ton on the plates and
Sc. so per ton on the concentration, or
total $II.5o. Better results are ex-
pected after the mill and machinery
are thoroughly adjusted. 1t was
found that in order to effect larger
saving the capacity of the concen-
trating plant will have to be increas-
ed. A small batch of higher grade
ore was also tested by concentration,
and the concentrates averaged over
$500 per ton, while the concentrates
run from 3 to S per cent, or from 8
to tons for each 100 tons of ore
worked.
AS soon as all parts of the mill are
thoroughly adjusted, the concentra-
ting plant enlarged 80 as to effect as
large saving as possible, the mill
will be started on the higher grade
ore. The ore has a value of from $50
to 500 per ton. The mill was shut
down on the 27th for the purpose of
adjusting different parts and will
start up next Monday or Tuesday
for a continuous run.
The cost of operating the mill as it
now stands is SAYS per ton, and this
cost can be reduced to $I.75 by doub-
ling the capacity of the mill, which
the company proposes to do as soon
as possible.

The FOote Case.

The case of the Cosmopolitan Min
ing Company VS.. the Badger claim,
owned by the Messrs. Foote, of Sill
ver City, has occupied the attention
of the U. S. Circuit Court at Carson
the most of the week. The point at
issue is the apex of ledge running
along the immediate boundary line
between the two claims. The Co.'S
mopolitan Co. claims that the ledge
is part of the main ledge within
its grounds, while the Badger people
claim the ledge to be a separate and
distinct Ledge, the apex of which is
wholly within the boundaries of the
Badger claim. The introduction of
the evidence in chief was finished
