ORDINANCES Relating to Powder and
 Stoyepipes 10 Be EnfOrced...S ..StOyepipcs and FlueS to Be Thoroughly
 Inspected.

Captain George E. Baldwin, chief .engineer of the fire department, is oi sthe mind to enforce the ordinance re- lating to the keeping of powder aud .other explosives within the city limits in quantities greater than 50 pounds il one building, as well as the ordinance rrelating to ilues and stOp npipe5.
 Complaints have beea made that con- >siderable quantitie, of powder are stored sabOut the city, while the ordinance, ;as stated eXpliciily,sta that no more ,than 50 pounds shall bc kept in any tbuilding within the corporate limits and when powder or other explosives .sre kept in store the receptacle con taining them must be piLinly marked .xO as to denote the fact
 A number Of dealers, including the IN. C. Company, N. A. T. ~ T. Com pany and J. r. Gie.e, have built q powder house on Dry creek, without .the city limits.
 Between'Septembcr l5 and October 1 sChief Baldwin will institute thot0a2h examination of aiE..uiidings ccntaiuiug stoves or llues. A rigid inspection will tbe made of the stovepipca and iluc-, and wherever they are found uG,dfc they twill be forthwith condemned. In ease of failure to obey the ordnance the offender will 3e prosecuted.
 'Fire protection" said C ,,4in Baldwin, lis .,n matter that should interest every citizen. lt is not right that one man or a ho.cn or more should suffer because of the carclessness of his neig alor. A fire is disastrous un}- where, and it would be especially disastrous in Nome in t. winter season. People, therefore. can greatly y assist this work and make themselves .-and each other comparatively safe hH examining their stovepipc, and Hucs Sand putting them in good condi;ion.'

vAL[)E:S Railroad Will Probably Run to Eagle AaId Down the YukOn...WOrk Of Surveying Toward Copper
 River Being Pushed.

'Naldes, Aug. 7.--Word was received yby the last mail that the Valdes, Cop sper River and Yukon railroad had se- ecured control of the Hawkins road, or, as it is better known, the Dawson and Indian River road. This road is to -start from Dawson and will run to the flndian river country, distance of so miles toward American territory.
 The more that 'i is learned of the ,afairs of the Valdes railroad. the rhigher seems to be- their aim. It ap- pears that the road from here to the --copper country will be the smallest ipart of the undertaking. The intention tnow seems to rumto agle and Dawson and perhaps down the Yukon.
 It is said that the company will put con a line of steamers from here to Seattle, and that they will spend thousands of dollars in advertising the Cooper river country throughout the Estates.
 The Miles brothers are now in the tinterior taking views of the country WRith which to illustrate the vast amount rof printed matter that will be sent all cover the country. Stereopticon views s2nd moving pictures will also be made aand used throughout the country as an r1dvertising medium. The people of the States must be educated in regard ito Alaska, and the Valdes railroad company will endeavor to do this. They will be assisted by all the prominent railroads ins the States, and especially tthe Pacific coast lines. The Southern Pacific Company is now advertising this section of Alaska throughout the East and West.
 The managers and promoters of the >Valdes roadnhad an important confer ,ence in New York few weeks ago, sand large amounts of supplies for the road were purchased.
 Mir. Gillette, the chief engineer of ithe road, is in Seattle, and will prob ably be here on the next trip of the tBertha. Mir. Mcdonald, the contrac- rtor, is on his way here from New York, e,and may be expected within 8 month.
 In the meantime the surveyors of the road are actively engaged in running Hines, and are now nearly to Keystone canyon. They have run number of sdifferent lines and the most suitable sroute will be determined upon, when .Mr. Gillette arrives.

 According to John W. Kelly. who has lived many years in this section, the auroch, which during it's life wore the horn found near Point Barrow must have been an exceedingly large animal. Mr. kelly says:
 Caesar found ia aurochs in Guul and Germaniu. A few are still kept in private lal!ls in Eus~ia. They were hunted hy the Eabylonian kings, and description, of their hunting scenes have come down to Us. The aurochs lived in Alaska contemporaneously with the mammoth and mastodon, away back in pre-glacial times, more than l1,000 years ago, and pcrhaps as far back a. 50,000 years. Aurochs' heads are found along with mastOdon remains, scattered over the great Arctic plains of Alaska, north of 69 degrees and 70 r'inutes. and are occa- sonally met with as far south as Nor ton sound"
 A pair of aurochs' horns with the skull attached were found near Point Barrow a few years ago by.M Kelly, and are now in the rooms of the Academy of sciences in San Francisco Judge Watson also secured from Point Barrow natives a number of black and yellow ivory tuoks. no doubt thousands of years old. The ivory takes OF beautiful polish. and is per- fectly black in coler. He has been offered snug sum for the collection, but he will take it 10 his home in Chi caGo.
