help Teller an iota. There is no room for "knockers' in any coun- try, and more especially in coun- try such as this. Let the News and the people of Teller get in and hustle; build up their town and develop their adjacent territory, and they will find no time to be- little or deride a friendly neighbor. When newspaper, a man or . community indulges in the "knock- ing" habit, it is an unmistakable indication that they have little else to do. Therefore, instead of ''knock ing" "get in and drill"

The death of GenrCe Dean

The death of George Dean by starvation at the mouth of the Agiapuk river and the narrow escape of his two companions, Thierry and Houston, from the same fate, makes a strange story. Without wishing to criticise the survivors, it looks as if they did not make that hustle for life which men should. They were so near the course of navigation that they could hear the voices of men as they passed up and down the river. But it's strange country, and strange things happen in it.

 We had hoped that congress could have spared a few paltry hundreds of dollars to purchase a life gun, a life boat and other necessary paraphernalia to start a modest little life-saving station at Nome. Nome has hardy sons who often risk their lives to save their fellow men from death in the surf. But congress is too parsimonious, niggardly and neglectful to expend a few dollars to enable them to do so with some safety to their own lives.

Fred T, Fischer, who few days ago returned from tri to the left fork of Iron creek, says that that section is a promising one. He was somewhat dis gusted, however, to find that a claim which he owns on the left fork was still covered with ice to the depth of several feet. He is satisfied, however. that the creek is good one.

NOME, ALASKA, JULY 30, 1901.
AS TO .kNOCkER Sa"

There has been trGnspl4nted to this section branch of the society called the Ancient and Exalted Fraternity of Knockers. The rami- tications of this society. are wide and deep. Its tentacles take hold with devil-fish pertinacity, and no opportunityto register a ''knock" is overlooked by its members. Any excuse will do. Perhaps it is the climate that is not to their liking, or perhaps it rains when these knockers think there should be sunshine, It may be that the grasses which grow on the tundra are not garnished with golden tili- gree work, or that the sands in the creeks are not all golden like those of "Atric's sunny fountains.' But all the time have we observed that the "knockerD is a man of ready resources, and once he turns him self loose black eyes" are abund- ant.
 Just now we hear the voices of knockers abroad in the land. Some of them have mushed out to new districts. and when they have not found creeks lined with sluice boxes and men busy making clean ups that run into the thousands every few hours they conclude that the district is a "dead one" And yet so late was the season that it is only now that work is actually commencing on many creeks in the various districts.
 These modern Jeremiahs raise their voices in doleful lamenta- tions. They cry aloud and spare not; on the streets and in public places they lift up their voices in denunciations like trumpets. Why? Because they. themselves have been disappointed, perhaps; be- cause they have not found things according to- the mental pictures they had drawn; but mostly be- cause they are ignorant and inex- perienced ip all matters relating to what constitutes a mining country.
 Given a district that was only discovered last year, is it reason able to expect that streams of gold are running through thousands of sluice boxes this early? And if the paystreak is not located in the first hole that is sul.k to bedrock. should the whole creek or section be condemned? We trow not. And yet this is what is taking place every day, and men. shake their heads and says, "There's nothing here nor there"
 It is absurd thus to- reason; in fact, there is.little reason brought to bear in arriving at these deduc- tions. They are intolerably. silly and without warrant. We remem- Der when Hunker, and Dominion, and. Sulphur and other creeks were decreid as blanks. And yet these same streams have since produced millions upon millions of goldy In deed, this fact is already being demonstrated, and creeks which last year; were pronounced worth less are now justifying the faith that was then placed in them by those who knew whereon their faith !, vas based.
 This country, taken as a whole, has scarcely been scratched over; only it's possibilities are known, and these are sufficient for those who are miners and who, do not expect to find pots of twenty-dollar gold pieces, freshly mintad, lying under the surface sod of the first

REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE.


 tirelv overlooked us. It may be that we are of so little importance that we have. been entirely for gotten in the many demands that have been made upon the govern ment of late years. Our new policy of territorial expansion seems to have acted adversely to the inter- ests of those portions of the United States that have place upon the American continent.
 Judging by the indifference and neglect with which we in Alaska are treated by congress and the federal government, we might req sonably suppose that if we were to ''secede" and set up a little repub- lie of our own Uncle sam would think 1t no serious matter. Perhaps he would be glad to turn us loose and see Us run.
 But, seriously speaking, it is no small or insignificant matter this patrolling of the American coast of Bering sea during the season of open navigation. It is a neglect that the government should not permit to exist. There are enough revenue cutters in the service to permit of two or three or four to be assigned to this coast for a few brief months of the year. It is neglect inexcusable, and it should not be permitted without a, vigor- ous protest. Vessels are frequently wrecked in these northern waters, and this year, in the many wrecks that have occurred, if no lives were loot it has been by the merest good fortune.
 Not long since the whaler Ba- laena was wrecked near the Si- berian coast. Her crew might have perished had another whaler not gone to the rescue of the men. The steamer Ruth suffered an accident a short time ago, and might have sunk with all on board while com ing up the coast had not a passing steamer seen her plight and brought her to port. The steamship Roa- noke, on her first trip to Nome this spring, was caught in all ice pack, and 1t was fortunate for the vessel and her human cargo that nothing ill befell the ship. The bark Oak land was wrecked a few days ago near Teller, and if no lives were lost it was not because of any care or attention of the government for the protection of those who go down to the sea in ships.
 The steamship Lane was wrecked on the night of July 13 off Nuni- yak island. And not revenue cutter within hundreds of miles to render assistance when it was badly needed! Fortunate. indeed, it was that no lives were lost.
 Whatever may be the cause of this cold neglect, whatever may be the reasons which the department may assign, we feel that none will be sufficient to convince the people of this section that indifference to our welfare is mainly the true cause. We do not wish to be con- tinually y pointing to the laches, of congress and the government, but we propose to at least show both that we are keenly alive to-, the kind of treatment Alaska has ie- ceived for many years at the hands of successive congresses and admin istrations.

RECORD THRICE BROKEN.
(Continued from First Page.)

(Continued from First Page.) by Tim Cheney, of the Orford club and one of the we'll known family of that name, c, H. Seeley the young eX- pert from the Wee Burn club, and Ralph Carroll, of the Fairfield club In the qualifying ound the course rec ord was reduced to 79 by Cheney and Carroll and in the first round Seeley made the same score, the play in all three cases being almost perfect. In the qualifying round Cheney and Seeley were pitted against each other and their play was watched by large gallery. Seeley succeeded in equalling the record with a score of S0 so one of the pair broke the record and the other equalled it. Carroll had for his oppo- nent in the qualifying round J. r. Cheney, who went around in S6. Car roll and Seeley made remarkable drives during their tour over the links and the accurate putting and approaching or Cheney made it possible for him to make the record score. One of his puts coming in in the qualifying round was over eighteen feet of turf and was the best of the day.
 The players were careful in every swing and it wouldn't be surprise II the record of 79 were lowered stroke or two before the tournament ends. The following are the cards of Cheney and Carroll in the qualifying round: Cheney
 Out ... ...3 5 5 5 4 6 5-41 In .... ....4 6 4.3 3 6 5-3S
 79 Carroll
