Information for Everybody.

A passenger on the Cottage City had a choice selection of frozen frog legs for the Dawson market.
 A high wind on the 18th inst. tore off | a section of the roof on the Klondike Trading Company's building at Skag- way.
 For the week preceding January 18th the thermometer at Skagway registered from fourteen to ninteen degrees below zero.
 Skagway nearly experienced a coal famine during the recent cold spell, and was compelled to forage on the R. R. Co.'s supply.
 The Skagway Daily Alaskan has at tained that degree of prosperity which permits thepurchase of Merganthaler nneotype machine. It will be installed shortly.
 The Skagway Alaskan says that John Mclean, who works at the shops, was picked up on Sixth avenue on the even ing of January l7th with his hands bad | ly frozen.
 A small fire occurred at the Daily News office in Dawson on the 10th inst. Good work by the fire depart ment saved the building, which was slightly damaged.
 The Cottage City on her last trip up north unloaded sixteen head of horses at Skagway for W. F. Matlock, who will put them on the trail between White Horse and Dawson in the freighting business.
 Grave fears are now entertained for the safety of Milo Kelly, of Douglas, who mysteriously disappeared on the Yukon last fall just before the freeze up. Repeated inquiries at different points along the river have been fruit less.
 An Everett, Wash, man has the jaw of an Alaska mastadon that measures 37 inches from point to point. The jaw contains two gigantic teeth 9 inches in length and embedded 6 inches deep in the bone. The jaw is petrifed and vreiobe eO ,,O7pde
 skagway postof8ce officials have made provisions for sending the Daw- son mail to White Horse by dog teams, and it is quite probable that this mode of conveyance will have to be resorted to for some time to come, as the White Pass road is now most effectually block aded
 The first actual tie up of the season on the White Pass R. R. took place on January 10th. On that date the morn ing train from Skagway was stalled two and half miles from Fraser. The snow drifted so badly that the engine and coaches were completely covered over. A large gang of shovelers had to be sent to the rescue.
Douglas Island news., 1901-01-23

Max R. Hirschberg, proprietor of the Flag Roadhouse on the Dominion di- vide in the Klondike district. was a passenger north on the Cottage City. He had with him two hundred dozen eggs, packed in sawdust and wrapped in paper to keep from freezing, to be used on his tables.
 The White Eagle Mining company is at work on the Mark Fleming claims on Kasaan bay, Prince of Wales Island. About 12 men are employed and the outlook is very encouraging, says the Ketchikan Mining Journal. Jim Ward ner, the we'll known mining man, is promoting the enterprise.
 The steamer Viva Rial has been en- gagged for the Skagway- -Haines run, and the Skagway Chamber of Commerce has contributed S70O as an inducement to it's owners to undertake the contract Passenger rates between the two points will be S2 one way, or S3 for round trip, and freight is carried at g per ton.
 Peter Mcdonald, a Yukon pioneer, died recently at Dawson, and there is a contest on before the courts for the position of administrator to his estate which is valued at from 515,OOO to S25,- GOO. The applicants are Frank Barteau, the dead mans business partner, and Collin Mcdonald, bis brother-in-law. The direct heirs are in San Francisco.
 The Ketchikan Mining Journal says that H. r. Rowell, superintendent of the saw mill at Smiths Cove, has been in the city the past week looking after the reshipment of machinery. Unfort- unately the scow upon which it was loaded from the wharf sprung leak and sank before it could be lowed to the nearest beach, and it's recovery was no easy job. Mir. Rowell says he will have the mill in full running order within month, and that it will give employment to twenty men exclusive of loggers.
 Postmaster Sampson, says the skag- way Alaskan, has prepared compara- tive statement of the amount of mails arriving and departing to and from skagway from portions of 1899 and 1900. Mr. Sampson has selected as suitable periods of comparison the six weeks between July 15 and September 1 of each year for the summer and those between November and Decem- Der 15 for the winter. According to MT. Sampson's statement there were received from the interior between July 15 and September l at the Skagway postofice 227 sacks of mail for the United States. For the same period of 1900 the mail receipts were 286 sacks. During the same period of 1899 there were shipped to Dawson 293 sacks of U. S. mail from Skagway to the Yukon while in 1900 for the period mentioned the shipments from Skagway to the Yu kon were T81 sacks. Thus it will be ob- served that the gain in receipts was more than 26 per cent and that in ship ments nearly 167 per cent.
