Clarence Berry has purchased No. IL
on Eldorado for S125,0O0. This claim
was located in 1896 by "French Joe"
Costello, who sold it to jim Hall and
N. Picotte for 5000. 1t has already pro-
duced $4,000. When Hall and Pi-
cote found out how rich the claim was
they gave Costello a 75-foot fraction,
which he afterwards sold for big fig
ure.
The Ketchikan Mining Journal says
that Mrs. Mertie Hart and children ar
rived on the last Al-Ki, and has gone to
join her husband, Mr. Jas. A. Hart, su-
perintendent of the Lookout mines, at
Niblack Anchorage. In the years to
come she will enjoy the distinction of
having been the first white woman to
settle in one of the greatest gold and
copper mining camps in this or any
other country.
Mr.. Jerry Doody of skagway was in
Dawson the first of the month, when
one of the greatest stampedes known
in the history of the camp occurred.
1t was to the Montana, tributary of
Indian river, about % miles above
Dawson. He did not come in direct
contact with anybody from the new
Bonanza, but the reports brought in
were very fattering, and everybody
seemed to think it was the coming
creek.
A Special to the Skagway Alaskan
from Dawson, under date of April 9th,
says that the Board of Trade today at a
largely attended meeting decided to
urge the discontinuance of gold dust
as legal tender. In trade it takes a
needless amount of time weighing it,
and besides so many people claim to
have slight pokes' after buying that
the practice of offering dust in ex-
change for purchases has become more
than troublesome.
Travellers just out from Katmai, the
first to arrive this season, tell that
Sttka miner named Knutson, according
to reports circulated by the Indians, be-
came insane at New Wayland, Iliamna
bay, on Christmas day, and disappear
ed from his tent after stripping him
self nude. 1t was said that Knutson
had considerable money with him. His
property was confscated by two In
dians. Knutson may have met with
foul play, color being lent to this view
of his disappearance by the fact that a
prospector reported native had offer
ed to sell money belt similar to Knut-
sons.
The Skagway News says that Comp
troller Lithgow, who has returned from
a trip to Selkirk, brings news of placer
mining activity on various creeks be-
tween Dawson and that point. He also
states that report exists at Selkirk
and along the roadhouses in that vicin-
ity that gold has been struck some
where up the Pelly river, which branch
es off from the Yukon short distance
from Selkirk, and leads toward the
east. The news of the Pelly strike is
not definite, but there is feeling of
encouragement among some who have
been interested in the reports and a
hope that the stream may yet prove a
producer. Some gold has been brought
down from the Pelly, but none, SO far
as known, of any considerable value.

Three carloads of specimens of Alas
ka's animal life, tusks, skulls and bones
of mastadons, and multitude of other
relics of the glacial age, Indian curios
and rare old pieces of native workman
ship and skill almost without number
are now on the way to the Pan-Ameri-
ican exposition, says the Alaskan. The
collection, which is owned by Richard
Crane, one of the best known hunters
and traders in Alaska, is pronounced
by scientists to be one of the most
complete that has ever come out of the
far north. 1t is valued at $4,000.
Mrs. Mcconnell has appealed to the
U. S. consul at Dawson against the re-
cent indignities of the yellow-legged Of
fcers. She was confined to her bed
suffering from long illness, and when
the case was called against her for
criminal libel, wherein the officials were
prosecutors, her attorneys appeared
and filed the necessary and customary
physicians affidavit stating that she
was too i'll to appear. Notwithstand-
ing this fact, delegation of officials
battered her door down with their mus
kets and rushed in. They had their
own physicians hold consultation
while the unfortunate woman was in
Mysteries, and they reported to the
court that she was too i'll to be remov-
ed. A guard was left in her cabin,
however, to further worry the enfee-
bled woman with their presence. The
Skagway Alaskan, in editorially COM
menting on this case, says: at is
about time that the United States
would make the Canadians understand
that defenseless women and American
citizens must be respected" Quite
correct.
A special to the Skagway Alaskan
says that the remains of the unfortu
nate long lost DR.. Bettinger have been
found on White river. first it was
supposed that he had been murdered
but upon an examination of his re-
mains it was soon seen that he lost his
life from exposure. 1t is thought that
he dropped the trail and wandered
around, until overcome by exhaustion
he threw himself down in his tracks
and froze. His watch, money and pa
pers were found on his person. He left
Dawson on foot Dec 9Th, and his wife
followed on the 18th in stage. 1t had
been arranged that he was to leave word
at all the road houses as to how he was
getting along, and at White Horse
would leave word at the hotel where he
would stop in Skagway. Young and
athletic, he left Dawson and made good
time to OgiIvie, but had not been seen
or heard from since A week later his
wife arrived at Ogilvie, having received
news at other stations on the trail, and
was in good spirits. Her husband had
left there very lame from walking, but
said that he would walk it off in few
days. AS roadhouse after roadhouse
was passed she grew worried at receiv-
ing no news. She notified the police.
They went to work, but without avail,
and when she arrived at White Horse
the mysterious disappearance of her
husband was still unsolved, and the po-
lice have since been working on the
case with no further news of the miss
ing man.
