KING OSCAR NO TOPPER.
A Danish Story OF the Swedish Monarch's
Cornwall Habits Denied.

King Oscar OF Sweden IL popularity sup
posed to combine his undisputed virtues
as a monarch with some personal weak
nesses. Only a few years ago a Danish
journalist. Owe Rode, published an article
about the real Oscar ii. in which he pict-
ured the old King as a very merry monarch
who nearly killed his chamberlains by
making them drink cognac with him night
after night till 4 and 8 o'clock in the morn
ing, and who then sought the aid Of NOR
phine in order 70 procure a few hours
sleep for himself.
The story was never denied officially
and the ~well-known fact that the King Is
fond of late hours, although a very early
risor, helped various people 20 believe IL.
An entirely different version Of the Kings
character and habits was given the other
day, however, by a man who for many
years has been the intimate friend Of his
sovereign.
Gen, Sven Lagerberg, the oldest ofiosr
In the Swedish Army and a man known be-
yond the limits of his own country for his
~frankness bordering on rudeness, his biting
wit and his frugality celebrated his eightieth
birthday not long ago and was on that
occasion interviewed by representatives
Of the Swedish press.
Gen. Sven, as he is called Familiarity all
over the land. used the opportunity to
speak his mind about the ISLANDERS uttered
concerning his royal friend. This Is h he
had TO say about the habits OF the King.
Kin Oscar is very temperate as a fact,
although there are a lot OF OF people who
talk nonsense about him. He never tastes
brdnrn LITERALLY. burnt wine; the Swedish
equivalent for whiskeyl, and he is no friend
OF brandy or other strong drinks. What
he likes is a small glass Of sherry with his
breakfast and a bottle OF beer.
AT dinner he links champagne. and
as the food itself Is concerned he, like all
the other members of the royal family,
likes neither fish nor fowl.
Like his late brother and predecessor,
Charles XIV. the King is fond Of simple
food, and he is delighted when, once In q
while, he is able to get a taste Of the plain
dishes prepared by an ordinary housewife

All of the river lying above the mouth of Chittyna as shown on the maps oi the country as the Copper river was not SD known by the natives in the early days but was called the Etna and flowed into the Chit tyna. When Captain Allen en- deavored to get to the headwaters of the Copper river, instead of keep ing up the Chittyna, the real Cop per river, he went up the Etna river, and called it the Copper river and it has been known as such since. Whether he did this inten- tionally or not is not known, but he probably thought he was going up the Copper. His report got wide circulation and was accepted as authority, even by the natives who informed early arrivals at the present site of Copper Center that tfe river found there was the Cop per river. When asked the Siwash name they would answer the Etna. But the prospector was in fact 70 miles above the mouth of the river he was looking for.
 Had Captain Allen classified his report, if he understood the situa- tion of affairs, and let the people know of the change of names. then the rush that was made to the real Copper river would have gone up the Chittyna instead of the Etna or what is now known as the Cop per, and the discoveries but recent ly made, would probably have been made in '9S or '99. It was generally known then that the

The new discoveries on the Nizi- ma river continues to be topic of conversation among the few people left in Valdez.

Letter From Slate Creek.

Slate Creek June 4, 1902 To the Prospector:
 There is considerable activity displayed, at these diggins, at the present writing; the season prom ises to allow work to commence earlier than at any time in the past and the owners of the claims are quick to take advantage of it, and everything is being put into shape for immediate work.
 Bob Cole was the first, (and only at present) to begin sluicing, he is at work on their Slate Creek claim doing "dead work, putting it into shape for ground sluicing. Cole also has d small crew of men at work on their Miller Gulch claim, shoveling snow, of which there is a considerable quantity, from fifteen to thirty feet", Coles says.
 Jack Miller will begin sluicing next Sunday.
 Charlie Kramer caught the worst of the snow slide that occurred last winter, but has had crew of men at work for couple of weeks, and in a few days will commence active operations.
 Henergy and perseverance is a criterion of success, then the Chisna Mining X Developent Co. will be successful; Haselet X Meals, the managers, are building a long ditch that will carry large supply of water, from long distance up the Chisna, carrying it along the banks of the Chisna and into the the high bluff of the Canyon, where decend- ing to their works below, will give them strong force to work their hydraulic plant. They have also put in neat and substantial bridge across the Canyon.
 The "Jack Pot" will begin sluc- ing this week.
 Fred Date will work the Miller Gulch claim, and Louie Rosenthal and partner will work the Slate Creek claim.

was true and that the prospectors in 9S and 99 were misled through peculiar circumstances.
 l n 1898 hundreds of men came in- to this country and expected to find coarse gold on top the ground, having heard that it was there. but did not know how to look for it. There were many prospectors along the same creeks where the latest discoveries were made. Not many of them were looking for gold there or they could have found it. The most of the crowd were trying to get to Skolai pass and find way over it to the head of the Copper river. That was the goal of the most of those who arrived here in '9S. They had heard or imagined that there was large deposits of gold on the head waters of the Copperriver.
 The river was called the Chitty- ma when the first white men came to Alaska. 'Chitty," in the native language means copper, and ma" river. Hence Chittyna means Cop per river and it is so known to the

That construction on at least l6O miles of the Valdcz-Eaglc railway through the Copper river country in Alaska will be begun soon is practically assured. The fact that the work will be done bv NJ. J. Heney k also certainty. The contractor. who has achieved national reputation as Il railroad builder in Alaska, is now on his way to New York for the purpose of completing plans and negotia- tionS to begin the construction of the line. The head of the Valdez Eagle company is Capt. J. R. De Lamar, oi New York, who iS also acquiring large mining interests along the route which the railway will follow. Abbott. Helm and several other men whose names have been mentioned in connection with the proposed railway in the past have promoted the scheme
 They have given options of various kinds to De Lamar. He intends to undertake the building of the railway himself. Four mining ex- perts in his employ will go North to examine the Big Bonanza and other groups of copper mines on June p. Securing these claims and prosecuting mining operations on large scale, form but one phase of the company's plans. The options secured on groups of claims that are expected to yield gold and copper in abundance are prelimin- ary steps in the carrying out of gigantic enterprise. The enterprise includes the building of the railway through Central Alaska to Eagle. on the upper Yukon, regarded as the richest copper country in cx- istence, together with the operatisr of gold and copper mines on the coast. Interested in the project is the London LoaL Mortgage & Trust Company, which is capital ized at $15.00O.OO0. Frank Brad shaw, of Los Angeles. is another one of the promoters.
 Mir. Henev who built the White Pass x Yukon railway, returned to Seattle a few weeks ago after trip around the world. Since coming home it has been announced that he will build the Klondike Mines railway from Dawson to the head of Stewart river. It has been known that he is intimately con nected with other railway schemes in Alaska, among which is the Naldez-Ea gle line. The news that he would build the line, however, has only recently been made pulp lie. The season of 1902 is advan- cling rapidly, and from this time work will he carried on with dis  patch. It is hoped to have many miles built before the winter sets in.
 To complete the line to the Big Bonanza group is the primary object of the company, but the roads extension through to Eagle making an all-American rail route io the Klondike, is the ultimate plan. Eagle City is but d short distance from Dawson, throu, ,h in American territory, so a railway trough central Alaska by that ;oute would make a saving of at east one day in reaching the coast from the Klondike region.
