 San Francisco capitalists, together with Norman R. Smith, the well-known Alaskan, have undertaken the estao- lishment of stage line between lliam- na bay, Cooks Inlet, St. Michael and Nome. Seattle is to be the headquart- CTS of the concern, which is known as the Trans-Alaskan Company. Horses are to be used in the operation of the stage line-all told about 100 head. Smith says he has found the shortest possible overland winter routet to Nome The total distance is less than GOO miles. The route from Iliamna to St. Michael, which, as regards mail transportation, will be the northern terminus, is but 800 miles.

The Journal speaks thus highly of one of the most important enterprises inaugurated in Juneau in the past de- cade: In the rear of R. l.. Balls drug store a stamp mill has been erected. It is operated by precipitation and has a capacity of one ton every once in while. All the bearings are fabricated with St. Jacobs oil and it runs as smooth and noiselessly as man filing a saw. It has Ball bearings and chainless smoke stack.

1f tbo helief of Thomas c. Brainard,

If the belief of Thomas c. Bralnard' a we'll known mining man, of Denver, Col. should prove justifiable, the great est copper deposits of the world have been uncovered iu the Prince Williams soupd district of Alaska, at Ellmar, The property is owned by J. D. Meen- ach and has undergone slight develop ment by him. 'I have been over the property very thoroughly" Mir. Brain ard said yesterday, "and my estimation is that there is now in sight 5,OO0pOo tons of the finest kind of copper ore Ore that will go. away up in values, say $50 to the ton in copper, and several dollars in gold. Meenach, the owner has sunk shaft 200 feet deep, and from there run drift 300 feet in solid ore of unvarying quality. passed measure over the ledge and on the surface the vein shows clear and well defined for 600 feet in length and 100 feet in width. while on the lower level 1t Is l9O feet wide. It is, so far as shown, the greatest copper find ever made. Irep- resent Cleveland capital and offered this man s1OOO,OO0 in cash for his mine but he has very inflated ideas and re- fused to even consider it. The great beauty of the deposit is that 1t IS right on tide water and can be carried from there the year round at very low rate of expense. There is no doubt ln my mind that the property will sooner or later be opened up, as it should be, for deposits of this magnitude cannot re- main unworked, ard when it is, 1t will prove surprise in its extent and rich ness"
 The Valdez News says that the Aleu- tes have a number of traditions relat- ing to an earlier race which inhabited the Alaskan and Kenia peninsula prior to their migration thereto, and in con- nection with these stories late discoV- cries would point to the often quoted fact that most traditions have base of truth. During the past month in fol- lowing up these rumors, discovery was made of an ancient burial place ot those very people, and conditions oo taining at this place are probably worth mentioning. The remains were deposit ed in a sitting posture with the hands clasped over the knees, then wrapped in furs, bear and squirrel, with an outer wrapping of grass mating. The bodies were then boxed in by means ofwooden slabs which were tied together with strips of rawhide, the whole being afterwards covered with heavy rocks, forming small cairns similar to the ancient burial places discovered in var ious parts of Europe. The cairns dis covered had already been broken into and the first openers had obliterated many of the most interesting details, but enough evidence was found to sup

Notes From WOman's Realm.
For the Well Dressed Woman

One of the most attractive as wei as
the most expensive novelties is Watteau
embroidery done on drawn work Of
linen threads This work done in ecru
linen and framed i'm inerustations Of yell
low lace makes delightful trimming on a
gown Of pale pink mousseline.
Many simple gowns are seen trimmed
only with large lingerie collars. with per-
haps the accompaniment Of small cuffs to
match.
The unbleached hat and burnt straws
are rapidly gaining popularity. and there
is a great demand among millners for
the straws just as they come from the
weaver without bleaching, coloring or
stiffening.
Partisan women are adopting patches Of
mild sort, with other Louis XVI modes,
but from powdered hair in this age Of
sanitary mania women are presumably
safe.
A use for the pompadour silk is being
found in the Trianon hoods OF fowered
silk and lace. which are being shown by a
few exclusive houses and which make
most attractive shoulder wraps.
Artificial fruit blossoms are much in de-
mand this season, especially as a trim
ming for the evening frocks Of young
girls, and they have been wonderfully per-
fected. Apple, cherry, plum and peach
blossoms are all to be had in great sp@ys
but the cherry blossoms are perhaps the
nearest to nature.

confined TO young married women not
afraid of innovations, says Ia Nouvelle

that young girls are never ahead of the
