Sources, Concerning the Great
North, Condensed.
Information for Everybody.

Skagway fremen will don their new
uniforms July 4th. On that day they
expect to make the Juneau team
which is to compete in the tournament
to be held there-look like bar of
soap after hard days washing.
Charles Rule has uncovered an enor-
nous body of sulphide ere on his
Boulder Bay property, in the Prince
William Sound country. This proper
ty is presumably upon the Gladhough
ledge and was located by Rule last
year.
The Juneau Journal says that there
are at present about 100 men employed
on the Porcupine. Men seeking en-
ployment are advised to stay away for
at least three weeks longer, for they
will undergo expensive delay if they so
in now.
A census recently taken in Juneau to
determine the population, as basis for
fixing the amount to be paid for liquor
licenses for the ensuing year, shows a
bona fide population OF 11O8. The pop
ulation in 1900, by the U. S. census, was
over 1900.
Ellamer, the town on Virgin Bay, is
increasing in population, and numer-
Gus frame buildings are being erected.
This town has good future. It's ad-
vantageous position, situated near to
deep water, and its close proximity to
paying property, will ultimately make
it thriving business center for the
Sound.
The Juneau Record Miner says that
Geo. Bach returned from Snettisham
bay on theSeaolin, where he has force
of men at work on the Mammoth
group, promising quartz property.
He now has a tunnel in ITO feet and will
continue active work on this property
all summer.
The Skagway Guide says that Sam
Roberts has received from friend in
Atlin a slug or nugget which is the
largest that ever came out of the inte-
rior. He uses it for watch charm but
he has to wear leather belt around his
waist in order to hold it up. Pat Rem
wick's nugget watch chain pales into
insignifcance along side of Sans gold
flat iron.
The News says that Mr. Millard of
Valdez received a letter from one of his
grub .staked men who is now at Copper
Center, which stated that he and 9th
ers had been prospecting on Excelsior
creek, tributary of the Gokona, and
that good prospects had been found.
Another of Mr.. Millard's men had pros
pected this creek before and located
several claims, which fact Mr.. Millard
learned by the records, so he sent an
other man in to verify the report that
paying diggings had been found there.

panyEis organized under the laws Of
West Virginia and has ample capital.
This is the only working of any extent
in this district, but all the claims of
Chesna creek are taken up and are now
awaiting the results of the work being
done by the Chesna Mining and I'm
provement company. Slate creek in
this district is said to be very rich and
considerable shoveling is being done
there. About $4,000 has been brought
out from Slate creek and good results
are believed to be assured. The gold
is high grade, averaging $3.50 per
ounce.
The Valdez News says that Lieut.. G.
G. Burnell has received valuable in
crease to his pack train. The steamer
Thomson brought 81 head of stock and
six men. Among the men were Isaac
Gardner, packmaster from the Phil
ippenes. Mr.. Gardner is we'll known
here, as he was a soldier here in '98 and
a packer in 80. With him he has Mr..
Porter and T. McNeiblas, both from
San Francisco. There is blacksmith
and saddler, and the most valuable
addition is veterinary surgeon in the
person of DR.. w. j. Seaman, late of Ma
Mia, P. [. Mr. Seaman has made a
transport record in taking stock from
the United States to Manila.
The Ketchikan Journal says that the
Alaska Packers Association have made
all the necessary arrangements for the
establishment of salmon hatchery at
the head of the third lake, about nine
miles inland from Loring. The plan
embraces a log building 24X100 feet,
and such other small buildings as are
necessary to a complete plant of the
kind, the lumber for which will have to
be whipsawed, owing to the impractical
bility, if not absolute impossibility, of
taking it in from tide water. The
udOCnGIy Will bdbO a SdDeSlOJ VI IOA4
million fry, and if successful will solve
for all time the question of supply for
the Associations cannery at Loring.
The Valdez News says that Mrs. De-
lander possesses what is commonly
known as "grit" in sufficient quantities
was demonstrated recently, when at 2
o'clock in the morning she started for
the third bench of the glacier to rescue
dog which had been left there by par
ties bringing it from the inside for her.
The dog had given out on the trail and
was left on the glacier to starve or
freeze. Mrs. Delander, however, heard
about it, and at o'clock in the morn
ing started with dog and sled for the
relief of the suffering animal. She
found the dog but he was not able to
walk, so she placed him on the sled and
brought him to town.

The Skagway Alaskan says that a
camp of the Arctic Brotherhood has re-
Gently been formed at Eagle City by
the Dawson camp. Steps have been
taken for the organization of camp at
Douglas City in the near future. The
orderis in very flourishing condition.
Reports continue to come to the camp
of increased activity and general pros
perity from all of the camps.
Information is wanted as to the
whereabouts of L. M. Atkins of Olym-
pia, Wash. He is supposed to have left
Douglas Island for Valdez about six
weeks ago. His mother has recently
died and his share of the estate is held
by the court until he can be heard
from. Any information will be thank
fully received by his brother, j. H. At
kins, Outlook, Yakima Co., Wash.
The Valdez News says that the Glad
hough mine at Virgin Bay is looking
up we'll. The last shipment of 400 tons
of ore per steamer Elihu Thomson net
ted S3S per ton, and they have another
400 tons ready for shipment by the
next boat. The lessee, Mr.. Menach, is
confident that this property is good,
and from expert estimates there is 81
100000 in sight at the present value of
the ore.
1t is understood that the A. c. Co. in
tends this year to operate the Lulu and
City of Paris on the Koyukuk and will
possibly make connection with one or
both of them early after the opening of
navigation with steamers of its fleet
now in Dawson, which will then go
down the river. 1t is also the inten-
ton of the owners of the freighting
steamer Clara, now on the Dawson
front, to enlarge the craft, and send her
up the Koyukuk.
The Alaska steamship companies are
experiencing considerable difficulty in
shipping crews, owing to the machin-
ists' strike and sympathetic strikes on
the Sound. 1t is reported that Japan
ese will be employed in the future as
stokers and deck hands, unless terms
can soon be made with white labor. A
prominent steamboat captain on one of
his last trips North said he was com
PEELED to leave Seattle with a crew of l
sailor and 20 farmers.
Michael King, general manager of the
Upper Yukon Consolidated Co., with
headquarters at Caribou Crossing, in
an interview with the Vancouver World,
says: "We have passed the boom stage
in the Upper Yukon country. The days
of the tenderfeet are over, and it proba-
bly, is just as well for the country, be-
cause now it's mineral resources will be
developed by experienced men. The
Big Salmon and Stewart river districts
are looking up we'll, and much develop
ment work will be done this year. l
know of several lots of machinery that
will be shipped in by operators in new
districts. The Atlin district never
looked so promising Every man in
Atlin made good money last year, and
the heavy operators are preparing to do
more work this year than in any season
in the past. The men who stick to
proposition in the Yukon country in
variably win out in the long run-at
least that is my experience and obser-
vation."

The Sitks Alaskan says that MIR. Son.

iole, who lately arrived there to super
intend the building of the overhead
tramway at the Lucky Chance mine,
expresses himself as we'll pleased with
the entire plant. Having all the latest
improvements it will be very easy
matter to put it into working order and
is in fact all that could be desired. AL
ready dozen men are hard at work.
There is every probability of stamp
mill being erected there this coming
summer.
The Skagway Guide says that Phil
Abrahams, the great steamboat hoo-doo,
who was wrecked on the Corona, wreck
ed on the Topeka, and quarantined on
the Senator, arrived on the State, some
what SCARED but still in the ring. Phil
made a sneak in on the boys or they
would have had him sure. Chief Lowe
had the hurry up wagon ready to throw
him in, but the time of arrival was too
early and the gang couldn't get their
eyes open in time. He got off easy this
time, but if he ever attempts to leave
town again it will go hard with him.
Hon. j. w. Leedy, ex-governor of the
state of Kansas, was among the arri-
walls on the Elihu Thomson, says the
Valdez News. Mr.. Leedy brought his
family with him and declared his in
tention of locating here. In regard as
to what brought him to the country and
his intentions for the future, Mr.. Leedy
said that he thought the corner stones
were perhaps not all laid in Alaska,
while they were in the States" Mr..
Leedy is building on the corner of 7th
street and Keystone avenue, where the
family will reside.
The Tacoma Ledger says no royalty
can be collected in Alaska on the fol-
lowing method of getting rid of stumps.
Those who wish to clean their lots
from stumps at a small expense should
try the following method: Bore an
inch augur hole in the stump near the
top to the depth of two or three in
cbes. put in the hole two or three
ounces of salt petre and water enough
to dissolve the mineral. At the end of
two or three months set fire to the
stump, and it will burn until entirely
consumed, roots and all, In Califor-
MIA redwood stumps are destroyed in
this manner.
About $50 miles inland from Valdez
is the Chesna mining district. Here the
Chesna Mining and Improvement COM
pany has invested about $4,000 in a
placer mining proposition and is en-
ploying quite number of men. 1t has
a saw mill, blacksmith shop and every
thing necessary for the thorough de-
velopment of their property. The dis
covery was made and the ground test
ed in 1899. 1t took all of that year to
get the plant in and the bitches run be-
fore the freeze-up. The ground runs
from so cents to s15 per cubic yard.
The company has thirty three 2o-acre
claims. 1t has also discovered coal and
located GAO acres of coal land. 1t is a
good quality for blacksmithing and
heating purposes, and is SO thoroughly
impregnated with oil that it can be
