The Home Paper of It's City.

Washington Correspondence Brooklyn Eagle.
The Washington Star celebrated its fif-
tieth anniversary this week, and published
a handsome souvenir edition of the paper.
The Washington Star and the Brooklyn
Eagle are very much alike In many re-
spects. Each Of them is the home paper
of it's city. The Star is clean. never sensa-
tional, prints all the news Of the day, is
we'll managed and well edited.
Crosby S. Noyes, the editor-in-chief OF the
paper published in it's anniversary number
a most interesting story of his experiences
as newspaper man in this city. 1t is a
story of well-directed effort, crowned by
most abundant success and the national
capital has every reason to be proud Of Its
leading local paper and the men who have
made it what it is.

The Stars Birthday.
From the Norfolk Landmark.

From the NORFOLK Landmark.
By way of celebrating the fiftieth ami
versary Of its birth, the Washington Even
ing Star published last Tuesday special
edition which has been rarely equaled in
the history of Journalism Nothing cheap,
nothing ugly, nothing unfnteresting in an
issue of ia pages, including a handsome
magazine supplement and illustrations of
really high class-is not that a remarkable
achievement? We think SO; and We further
think that The Star is a very fine news
paper day in and day out, well worthy of
the great and growing prosperity which
classes It among the most desirable pieces
of property in the country. 1t is not to be
overlooked that The Stars success has
been attained by methods at all times de-
cent and honora ble-that is, by methods the
reverse OF yellow.

Stronger, Brighter, Better Than Ever

From the York Pal Dispatch.
The Washington Evening Star on Tues
day last reached the fiftieth mile stone
When the average man arrives at that age
he begins to feel weary. Not so with The
Star, however; it is stronger, brighter and
better than ever, and to prove to the world
that such is the case it celebrated the event
by issuing an anniversary number contain
ing several supplements and a handsome
magazine-114 pages in all. If the publish
ers of The Star are not proud over Tues
days issue then they are not human. For
size and completeness it was the greatest
number ever turned out by newspaper.

The Semi-Weeklv News of the 10th I inst. caps the climax of ingratitude and
 asininity and ry earns the highest , encomjums which can be paid it for
 those traits or vices. The euphemistc
 praise Of the incumbent hetokens either reprisal. or a high grade of cen >sorship by the legal editor which bodes Judge Moore little good. The charac- Y terization of the administration > of .- Judge Moves is characteristic of the sheet. and must Lo based on inside in formation. The late clerk of the dis .trict court was appointed by Judge Moves, and whatever the bargain was | between them, the clerk at least shows i oad taste in giving up family secrets secrets, too, which the writer would ( not have believed to be in his posses s, sion, did he not. with the basest in-
 gratitude strike sick and defenseless
 man, broken by the highest tribunal in the land, but as the writer believes a , victim of fool friends and designing williams. Yet. even at that, the hand of the News should have been, even ac- .. cording to the courtesy of rascals and
 boodlers, the last cue to apply the lash ,- to an already eAcoriated back.
 Judge Moore's introduction to Nome by. the News is pyrotechnicai in the |, extreme and it cannot fail to give him = confidence and assist him in dealing the 2, situation as he should. In effect. the
 News says to tbe new judge, "Iere is a
 parcel of rasca's, my lord, choose you the best of them: they are all bad"
 Whether zeal for it's last matter has un. bolt need it's teahle mind, or Twin. for a

 Wickersham was industrious, is admit ..ted by all that he was great or able, is
 yet to be determined: that his name twill go down. in history as "the re- .storer," remains to be seen, and in the

 Completed. MINlMG IS ACTIVE The Nations Natal Day Duly Celebrated by
 Citizens.

Council, July John Brewer. of the stage line between Council and Solo mon, arrived yesterday. This is the first trip of the stage, and the time Mir. Brower, leavesqin the morning for Solomon, and, as of old, he finds him self the bearer of orders for<sll kinds ot goods, from a pair of shoe faces to castings for machinery.
 The Wilds Goose raIroad is prac- tieally completed its entire length, ex- cept the placing of rails. As soon as tho rails and equipment can be>brought up the river the road will be completed and putin operation.
 The last mail cony eyed the sad in. formation that the youngest daughter of C. r. Cardwell died recently in ao- attle of scarlet fever. Mir Cardwell is an Alaskan of several years expert ence, having mined at Nome and at various points up the YuFon. He will depart for the outside in few days to ioin his bereaved family. All of his friends in camp extend to him thei: deep sympathy.
 B. o. Payne. resident of the. camp since early in 1899, has left for his Ten nessee home.
 Dick McArthur, the miner, is open ing up Miner Bruce'S claim, No. below on Melsing. This claim is prac- tically in town, and emphasizes tie fact that we often look too far away for that which we wish. Since 1898 this claim has been undisturbed, other than .he doing of. the annual assessment work. Dick, with the e.ergy and cour- age ol typical Alaska miner, is rap idly getting the claim in shape to eX- tract its gold. It is rumored that his prospecting has been very satisfactory, and that by the close Of the season the claim will show large production.
 The great American day-July 4 passed very. quietly in Council. Prompt ly at F midnight of the Sd the staid in- habitants of the town were suddenly aroused by thnnderous, explosions of dynamite, which were placed in vari- ous quarters of the town by the enthu- siastically patriotic. All demonstra- tion, other than hoisting of flags, then ceased until about 10 a. m. of the Fourth, when the public assembled to commemorate the day. The new hall erected by Mr. Mcclellan was soon filled to its utmost. Speeches were made by Lanier Mckee, Judge Fer guson and John Kelly. Music and recitations were given, the program be. ing very enjoyable one.
 As yet no beef, other than a few quarters, have been brought into camp

 0F I IN Interest Being Taken iii Alleged Deposits.
 @ YORK STREAM T!.. A Party of Capitalists at Yori Examining
 indications.
YORK STREaH TE..

Whether .4ia ska has any extensive tin mines OF nOt. is matter -yet to be determined What is called "stream" tin has been found in York, and in cic ks in the Sawtooth country. But ,o lar, no ledge of this metal has been developed.
 Alaska is q country of wonderful pos ,'b.lities. however. and tin in conner cial quantities may yet be found. Re gently. as told in the NUGGET, J. T. Watson, d Salt Lake mining man. came 70 Nome in the interest of Capt Della mar. the owner of the Delamar mines in Idaho. Mr. Watson is now in York district making a thorough examination of the stream tin alleged to have been found there. These York tin deposits seem to have excited a great deal of interest on the outside last winter. and several companies were organized to exploit them, among the promoters be- ing Joseph Horan, United States com missioner and recorder at York. One of these companies was organized in Seattle. On the las. trip of the Roanoke were a number of capitalists. and mining men whose mission it is to investigate these alleged tin deposits. Among the party, which, it i- said, has rong financial backing, are w. H. Burragc. of Boston, ". II. Wiley, of Denver, ]. M. steele. of Portland. F. Richards, oi san FraTcisco. II. A. san ford. of New York and J. Moore, of Seattle.
 Tin has been found in the Black Hills, $. D., but it has never beon mined sue .cassfully in that section, principally be- cause of the small deposits found there. It has also been found in other. sections of the United States, but not in com ,narcial quantities. The chief source of supply is found in the tin mines of Cornwall, England, which have been worked for hundreds of years.
 II. Handschy, mining n:an of exten- s'ye experience, claims to have fonnd a ledge oi tin not very far from Nome, and he is now prosecuting development work in order to test the extent of the ledge as well as it's quality.
