Smith was also instructed to promise

There is considerable excitement on
the lower Yukon over reported strike
on the Tanana slope opposite Rampant.
A number of miners enroute from Daw-
son to Nome have quit the river and
stampeded to the new diggings. Little
can be learned of the extent or richness
of the reputed Eldorado.
Skagway society is strictly up to
date. at recent social, the Alaskan
says "the ladies were very dreams of
dainty, fluffy summer wear-gauzy as
the mist, sometimes beautiful with
dainty dentelle, often piquantly trans
parant." This leaves imagination moth
ing to suggest.
All the branch stores of the Alaska
Exploration and Alaska Commercial
companies at the various trading posts
along the Yukon river from Dawson to

concern and the stocks of goods at Ea'
gle and elsewhere are now all under
one roof.

The Ketchikan Journal says that Geo.

Patterson Island, was in town last Sat-

foxes, requiring about one ton of fish

The big legal battle against crown
concessions in the Yukon is on, Hart
ley ct. al. bringing action against the
Matson concession on the ground that
it was illegally granted. Should the
plaintiffs in the action be successful
hundreds of claims will be thrown open
to the locators. Upon this decision in
this case hinges the fate of every con-
cession in the country and the amount
at stake will go into the millions.
Each side is represented by the very
brightest legal talent obtainable and is
backed by the entire amalgamated cap
ital of its respective party. Ever since
'9S, when the first concession was grant
ed, they have been regarded as schemes
to retard the development of the coun'
try. The case is now being heard be-
fore Gold Commissioner Senklee in
Dawson. Each side claims it will ap
peal to the higher court in case of de-
feat.
The Skagway Alaskan says that Ca
madam collector of customs has been
stationed at Glacier camp, two miles
above Porcupine, for the purpose OF
collecting duty. Both the miners and
the Indians are being held up for duty,
and there are number who assert that
they will not submit to the order of
things. The Indians are intensely and
periodically American and are very
much ayerse to being turned over to
another government. They are adopts
at evading the customs officials and
are more resentful than the whites who
at the time of the Canadian occupa-
ton submitted without protest. The
Indians, on the other hand, were pre-
pared to defend their country, and
warned the Canadians away with arms
in their hands.
A Skagway man recently walked into

pended for the rest of the day. 1t is

AUDITOR INCLUSION WILL RESIGN
Believes 1t the Only Way to Avoid
Possible Complications and
Litigation.

County Auditor John s. McQuiston,
whose term of Office it was supposed
would expire January Z, but the tenure
OF which has been made uncertain be.
cause of the Titus amendment, has de-
cided to tender his resignation to take
effect January Z. The resignation will
be presented to the board of supervisors
either at its Monday meeting or at the
first meeting in January.
To reporter, MIR. McQuiston said:
81 intended to step down and out of
the office January and to take up my
new duties as deputy in the office Of
the state treasurer without offering any
objection to the succession of MIR. Cope,
should it be found that under the Titus
amendment am entitled to serve long.
erin the auditors office, and had hoped
that my resignation would not be neces-
sary, thinking that possibly the muddle
would be Strengthened out by that time
and the board could fill the vacancy by
the appointment of Cope.
1T is my opinion and the opinion of
those | have consulted that the only
way to avoid all possibility of wholesale
complications, if not litigation, is for
county officers to resign aud to permit
the board to appoint the person elected
to succeed them. Should it so happen
that the incumbenls will not resign,
then it strikes me that 1t is best for the
boards of supervisors not to pass on the
bonds Of the persons elsected to succeed
them because it is the rule that all Off.
GERS are elected to serve until their sue
cessors are elected, ana have qualified
and without the approval of bonds the
qualification is incomplete and | believe
the incumbents can go on and legally
discharge the duties of their offices
The safe way, however, is for incumbents
to resign and for the boards to appoin
the persons elected to succeed them. -

the RIGHT THlNe TO PUT on.
(Bsnson's Plaster Is Pains Matter.

i y
From the natural impulse to "put some-
thing ON painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been poul-
tees or plasters, and the best of these is
Benson's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as curative agent; it is highly and
scientifically indicated, and its standard
Is advanced year by year.
Use Benson's Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back, and other all
ments that make Winter season of suffer-
ing and danger. It relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people Of every civilized land have
testified, for years to the superlative merit
Of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists Of this country have declared
them worthy Of public confidence.
In official comparisons with others, Ben
