There is pass leading from the southeastern arm of Fi,lalgo, which opens into a large low valley, run ming around to the head of Gravina bay.

VOLCANOS IN ALASKA.
Many Active VoIcanos in South western Alaska. Great Sights
 for Tourists.

Alaska's glaciers, gold and copper mines, fisheries and large rivers are we'll known throughout the United States and in fact all over the world. Probably no section of our country has come into prominence SD quickly as Alaska, yet the coun- try is SO vast and its resources so great, that something new is being continually brought to the notice of the public in regard to it.
 Comparatively few people know of the great volcanOs of Alaska, yet there are in southwestern AL aska alone not less than nine ac- tive volcanoes, and large portion of the coast, especially along the Alaska peninsula, shows evidence of having been at one time great volcanic region. In this section oil and sulphur are being discov- cred at the present. time in abun- dance.
 Of the volcanos in this section. five are situated on the Alaska pen insula and the adjacent islands, three are in Cook's Inlet and one in the Copper river country. Some of these are almost constantly in eruption, while others are only ac- tive at intervals. They present a most beautiful appearance, situated as they are amid mountains of al- most perpetual snow and ice. To behold a mountain whose sides are covered with snow and glaciers, emitting from its summit smoke, fire and molten lava is d sight both unique and interesting, filling one with wonder and amazement.
 The most prominent of these volcanos is Mt. Shusllalden, sit uated on Unimak island at the western extremity of the peninsula. This mountain is S952 feet high and almost constantly in eruption. Smoke. fire and lava pour forth from its crater in immense uuanii- ties. The lava rushing down over the snow and ice makes hissing that can he heard for miles. and ashes have been known to fall on vessels 25O mites away. It is no uncommon thin. for them to fall in great quantities on Sanak island, a miles distant, while from 20 to 30 miles from the mountain. the sun is often ohScured by inc smoke and ashes to such an extent that it is necessary t" light lamps in order to see. On this same island is Pog- rumnoi volcano, 5523 feet high which is active at times.
 Pavloff volcano is on the main land between Unga and BelkOfsky anu Is a prominent volcano seen rom the steamers that run between eitka and Unalaska. It is 45OC ieet high and active almost contin. uaiiy. The smoke comes from this one In great puffs at intervals of |: 'e" moments, as if there was d fur,

Occidental Successful.

AT the meeting of the stockholders Of
the Occidental Development company,
which was held at Young's hotel, Boston,
on Saturday, the 25th ult., and the treas
urer's report for the year was read, which
gave every detail of the financial side of
the enterprise. 1t was surprising that so
much money had been raised by the east
ern management the past year under so
many financial difficulties that have been
prevalent.
There was a large attendance of stock
holders, more than 800 persons represent.
ing 1867, 500 shares of the capital stock
in person and by proxy, and more ap-
proving and cheerful group it would be
hard to find.
The report of Treasurer Robert c. Mil
Ter, aside from the figures 1t contained
representing dollars and cents, embraced
a resume of the conditions that have pre-
vailed the past year, and hopeful fore
cast for the coming year.
General Manager Reddiug, of Denver,
was present and gave a comprehensive
report on the railroad and its progress,
emphatic language of the certainty of
success and satisfactory earnings with its
completion, the grading for which is now
more than half completed, with the ties
and rails almost ready for delivery. Mr..
Redding was also enthusiastic over the
proof that the large bodies of FIRE clay
were of the best quality and capable of
becoming great earning power for divi-
dends when developed, and the utility of
the railroad applies to both the coal and
the fire clay.
Mr.. Redding reported that a revision
of the plans and surveys for the railroad
had led to reducing the length of the
road from nearly four miles to less than
three miles, the change involving more
expensive bridges but escaping some bad
curves. This is not expected to reduce
the cost of construction but will save rs
per cent in operating expenses, which
means the saving of vast sum in the
end, besides the economy in maintenance
of the road.
While the interest of the stockholders
seemed to concentrate around the rail-
road in its relation to the coal lands, Mr..
Redding advised them to keep in mind
that the Occidental Development COM
pany also operates the rich Fraction, the
Belle of Granite and associate mining
properties which taken as group, prom
ise to equal, if not exceed, in value any
group of mines in their locality.
Again referring to the treasurer's re-
port, the amount expended in develop
ment of the properties of the company
and associate companies during the year
was shown to be $I24, 2oo.43, of which
$o2,ooo.52 was applied to the Occidental
properties proper, aside from the con-
struction of the railroad.

STRIKE IN
GOLDEN
HECLA
Big Body of Ore Opened Up which Gives
Returns of $500 to the Ton.


One of the richest strikes reported in
some time is that made in the property
.0f the Golden Hecld company this week.
Ore and in large quantities which gives
returns of from $500 to 500 on an aver
age to the ton has been opened up and
those connected with the enterprise are
naturally pleased.
As soon as this body of ore was en-
'countered, telegram was sent to the
president of the company, Dan Mason,
who lives in Minneapolis, informing him
of the good fortune, and in answer Mr..
Mason arrived in the city in person on
Friday. He was at once driv to the
place of operations by Manager Joseph
Boyd, and after making a thorough IN
spection of the ore bodies in sight and
the amount Of ore which is at the pres
ent time awaiting shipments to smelters,
he announced that the result could not
have been better.
For some time work has been devoted
almost exclusively to the driving of the
second level. This level was pushed for
a distance of eighty-ive feet at which
time a streak of smelling ore was opened
-up which ranged in width from twelve to
.eigteen inches. Assays were made and
it was found to run from fifteen TO TWEEN
ty ounces in gold TO the ton and in some
places the returns gave as high as 81 900
to the ton.
At the present time there is on the
dump awaiting shipment to the smelters
over 100 tons of high grade ore and 1t is
thought that returns will average more
than $soo to the ton for the entire lot.
.Shipments will start at once and it is be-
lieved that before the month passes the
railroads will be handling from 100 to
400 tons.
At the present time the tunnel is in a
little more than 100 feet and the bore is
being pushed as rapidly as possible. In
the tunnel level three veins are coming
together and the mill dirt from these will
be something enormous. 1t extends for
the entire distance across the breast and
has not been fully exploited. This dirt
Will give an average Oi , VI ~ tAS toh anu
it is the purpose of the management to
begin shipping to the mills as soon as
suitable arrangements can be made.
The Golden Hecla is situated up Ute
creek and is most promising property.
1t is owned and operated by well known
and reliable mining and business men.
Dan F. Mason, the president of the COM
pany and who only arrived in the city
yesterday, is one of the most substantial
business men of Minneapolis. He is a
man who exercises good judgment in all
lines of business and when he takes hold
of anything it will almost always prove
to be of worth.
While the mine has not been equipped
with power drills, there is at the present
time driving the tunnel under contract
who is using machine drills. AS soon as
this work is completed it is the intention
of the company to at once install a COM
