Douglas Island news. [volume] (Douglas City, Alaska) 1898-1921, 1901-05-08

Capt. Sam Waltz, who has been run
ming the freighter L. j. Perry at Val
dez, says the Copper river country is
now pretty quiet, but erybody is
hopeful of a good season this year.
Most of the residents base their hope
for good times on the prospective rail
road in to Eagle. The Valdezites are
thoroughly enthused on the subject.
Recent reports from the outside were
to the effect that the money for the
All-American line had been promised
and that the actual issuance of bonds
was only matter of short time.
The White Horse Star says Mr.. H. G.
Dickson, G. E., has just completed
survey of the coal mines owned by Mr..
Robert Lowe and others. The total
area covered by the survey will COM
prise in the neighborhood of 1900 acres
and covers a distance of about four
miles in length, along which the vein
crops up the entire way. At Discovery
60-foot tunnel with 21-foot cross-cut
has already been run, and vein of
clean, solid coal of an anthracite char
acter, % feet in width, struck, with ev-
cry Indication of permanency and inn
provement as greater depth is attained.
The officers on the American side be-
low Dawson are hunting for man
named Powell. 1t is believed that Kid
West, now in Dawson to testify against
O'Brien for completely in the Clayson-
Relfe Olsen murders, has told the offic'
ials that this man Powell knows some
thing about or was connected with the
murders and that the vigorous efforts
now being put forth to trail him down
are because he is believed to have been
connected with the killing. At any
rate he is being hunted very industri-
ously and is wanted for some serious
offense no doubt. A reward of $4,000 is
offered for his capture.
One of the biggest pieces of prepara-
tory work ever undertaken in the Yu-
kon country in connection with mining
has just been completed on Forty Mile
river by Peterson Bros. They have cut
canal across the neck of big loop in
the river and arranged to divert the
water of the river to the canal and
leave two and half miles of the origi-
nal bed dry. The scheme now is to
wash the sands of the original bed with
hydraulic apparatus. The place cut off
is known colloquially as "the kink."
The news of the finishing of the cutting
of the canal is brought by G. A. Wood
ruff, who has been mining on the head
waters of Forty Mile river this winter
and who arrived in Skagway few days
ago, says the News.
supt. McCaughey and his corps Of
mechanics at the railway shops are
building the first passenger railway
coach ever under construction in Alas
ka, says the Skagway Alaskan. When
finished it will be as complete and ar
tistic as any car of similar grade turn
ed out in the states. It is being built
for the use of officers of the road and
all of the material and workmanship
entering into its construction are of
the very best. The interior finish will
be exceptionally fine. Numerous fat
and box cars have been built at the
shops but this is the first time any
thing in the passenger line has been
attempted and the superintendent
feels much pride in the satisfactory re-
suits he and his men are producing.

One of the most curious memorials
of the eighteenth century to be found
in London, the St. Marylebone court
house, will soon pass from view, as
it stands in the way of the modern
Improvements now going on in the
worlds metropolis. From an architee-
tural point of view, there is little to
say for the gloomy looking structure,
the front of which dates from the first
quarter of the nineteenth century,
though there are portions of the build
ing which are of considerably earlier
date, and may possibly have formed
part o. the original building erected in
1929. Beneath the wing which forms
the southern extremity of the building
are to be found series of the most
gloomy looking cells that are to be
seen anywhere. They are approached
from an area by going down steps and
are all below the level of the present

comparatively a young man and has
for long time been closely assoc atsd
with the Diaz government. He is also
thorough believer in the so-called
Diaz policy, which is that of afford1ng
every protection and encouragement to
foreign investors in Mexico. The
strength and permanency of President
Diaz's government is largely due to the
fact that he has always had the sup
port of the foreign interests, which are
enormous, and the same support Will,
doubtless, be given Senior Limonour
while he occupies the position OF CHER
power. Senior Limontour is also ex-
tremely popular with the people OF
Mexico. A short time ago he visit d
all principal cities of the republic and
was everywhere received with great de-
monstrations of pleasure. When he
took the place of minister of finance he

vative basis.

For Brides Of fbe Hour.

Some recent weddings in Chicago
have been remarkable among other
things for the gorgeousness of the
brides cakes, which were works OF
fanciful architecture in sugar. This
fashion originated in Europe and was
adopted in New York, where it Is being
carried to a costly extreme. At the
wedding of Miss Elsie French and Mr..
Vanderbilt the wedding cake measured
four and one-half feet from the base to
the topmost flower, which was one CT
its most interesting features.
The queen of Holland has broken
the record of the New York bride by
ordering a wedding cake foot higher.
For one gorgeous cake, designed and
executed by a Chicago firm, $500 was
paid, and this did not include it's trans
portation to its destination, under the
