IN CROWDED ALASKA.
Shoemaker Bill Who Fled Before the Adj
vance of Civilization.


vance of Civilization.
DR. Cabell Whitehead, who is called
"the father Of Nome" is slavery young
man to enjoy so venerable title. He
is chief assayer for the United States
treasury, and has made many pilgrim
ages to the far northwest. His initial
report on the gold at Nome turned the
tide Of adventurous travel toward that
field, and he has recently returned
from another visit to that region.
During this latest sojourn there he
had as a servant an Aleut who,
though eccentric, was ingenious and
faithful, says the Philadelphia Satur
day Evening Post. On New Years
eve the Aleut went forth for a night
of jollity. In the early hours of the
morning he reeled toward his mas
ter's house, and to a fellow servant at
the door explained that he had been
"out to Happy New Year" In honor
of the occasion he had worn, surrep-
titiously, a pair of the doctors heavy
rawhide boots, and in them made
dreadful clatter as he climbed the
stairs.
Reaching the head Of the stairs he
paused, and, muttering contrition for
the disturbance be had created, re-
moved the boots, crept downstairs,
and then in his stocking feet re-
mounted the steps noiselessly.
DR.. Whitehead was much amused
by story of a prospector known as
Shoemaker Bill, or "Shoemake."
In 1882 this pioneer located a claim
of several days journey from Forty
Mile, then a bleak trading post on the
Yukon. A man named Hank Som
mers heard Of this and offered to buy
an interest in the claim. Shoemaker
Bill, who had named his prospective
mine ''The Flag of All Nations" was
willing enough to sell.
"Give me-" said he, "ten dollars in
chechako" "a term applied to every
body and every commodity that comes
from the outer world into Alaska),
"and you can have the whole thing"
Hank paid over the money and the
next day PANIED cut hundred dol
lars from the claim. "At that time"
Hank says, in relating the story,
"there were not so human beings
within a radius of 1000 miles, but
Shoemake announced that he was 60
ing on to the frontier
But look here, Shoemake,' said,
1--WE just taken a hundred dollars
worth Of gold out Of "The Flag Of All
Nations" and don't want you to
think you've been buncoed. Stay here
with me and I'lllet you in for half
No. replied Shoemake, as he
shouldered his pack and started to-
ward the north pole, 4 want freedom,
and this country along the Yukon is
getting altogether too thickly settled
to suit me- ,"
"Shoemaker Bill" says DR.. White
head, "was next heard Of at another
trading post a thousand miles farther
on. In tramping through that in
credible desolation it is not probable
that he encountered more than three
or four human beings. In his pack he
carried three months file of a San
Francisco newspaper.
'Shoemake, asked trader, why
do you burden yourself with that
great roll of papers?'
Well replied Shoemaker, there
are so many arguments coming up in
this country that | carry these here

gates have issued communication
thanking the Dutch government for its

statement that they have had no in

The delegates affirm they possess
plenary powers still in force and de-
clare that the reply of Great Britain to
the Dutch note proves that the only OBJ
ject of the former country is the eX-
termination of the Beers nation, and is
c further obstacle to any idea, on the
part of the delegation of applying to
