When the gold mines in Alaska
were discovered no one believed
there was any gold north of the
Yukon, but the fact that in four
years the product has reached
81, 900, 600 annually will strike the
American that the precious 1netal
for which SO many thousand are
striving can he found in regions
where least expected.
One of the most useful little
animals to DO found in the Nome
district is the Esquimau dog. 1t
does not weigh more than sixty
pounds, and four dogs before sled
will readily draw 1000 pounds. The
Esquimau dog is a noble little fellow,
as he is always good natured and
will do his work faithfully. His
diet is so simple-raw fish taken
IN h,,f
to feed him. The Esquimau dog
will eat raw fish as readily as the
dogs in our climate will eat beef.
We further learn that the reindeer
sent out by Gen. Alger, when he
was secretary of war in 1898, are by
no mears extinct. and that the rein
deer is growing and thriving in
ALASKA, on the moss in that lou try
as BEAUTIFULLY as the reindeer in
Lapland. The Laplander who were
sent out by Alger at the time of the
shipment Of reindeer, have grown
into quite a settlement They like
the country because it ia like their
own in the north of Europe expect
somew what milder; yet the Wis
consin man insists that the Esqui
mau dog is a far more servicable
animal than reindeer. In winter
the dogs will sell readily at from
800 to $500 apiece, as they are
splendid with the snowsled. He
says the snow is not deep in the
winter, because the wi4ds are 80
high that very much of the snow
is blown from the trails.
When Seward purchased Alaska
in 1867 for 1900, 900 no one mag
ined that it possessed the valuable
resoursce which are now cropping
out in the northwestern extremity
of North America. The country is
full of minerls undeveloped, but he
considers the agriculture, if any
there be must develop very slowly
as it is cheaper to buy vegetables
from tho United States than to
attempt to raise them there. Barley,
oats and potatoes will thrive in the
valley of the upper Yukon, but as
it is 1900 miles from that valley to
Cape Nome it is cheaper to transport
by water from Seattle. He regards
the country as gold producing
country only; still it is the law and
the fate If mankind that wherever
gold is found man will go and search
for it with ferocious avidity; yet it
is acknowledge by all philosophers
that in order to secure a dollar IN
gold more than one dollar must be
paid out in labor; an the care and
anxiety in mining are fully equal to
the miseries of Wall street gambler
who has person to feel that though
he may earn money he earns it
with as::much wear and tear of body
and soul as any miner in the anthra-
cite district of Pennsylvania. Mil

SUED THE WESTERN UNION.
Ell Paso Men Blame II for an Investment In a New
Mexico Mine.

S. S. White and II. L. Potter, Of Ell
Paso, have sued the Western Union
Telegraph Company because it failed to
deliver telegram sent by J. w. Or
chard, the proprietor of the Hillsboro-
Lake Valley stage line. The damages
asked for amount to $l,035 and the ex-
emplary damages to $3.50 more. The
plaintiffs and three other El Paso men
in ested in q property known as the
Good Luck mine near Mutt station.
Luna county. They hired Charles Allen,
IL mining expert, to pass judgment upon
the mine, paying him $50 day. The
purchasers wired Orchard at Lake Val
ley to meet them at Mutt station with
conveyance. The liveryman tele-
graphed reply which was not deliv-
cred and the purchasers went on to
Lake Valley instead of alighting at Mutt
station, thus losing day. Upon ar
irving at the mine they found it full OF
water and the expert could not make
the examina ion already paid for. The
mine was bought nevertheless and now
the plaintiffs in the suit claim that they
would not have invested 5000 in the
mine nor would they have found it neces-
sary to pay an expert $50 day to travel
to Lake Valley with them had the live
ryman's telegram been delivered.

DELEGATE RoDEY AT WORK.
He Wants Public Building for Albuquerque. Bill to
validate Certain Bond Issues.

Washington dispatches say: Delegate
Rodey has introduced bill providing
for the erection of public building at
Albuquerque after the citizens of that
city have furnished the site, the cost of
the building not to exceed 100000
He also introduced bills providing that
bonds of the Territory of New Mexico to
be known as New Mexico Insane Asylum
bonds, New Mexico Military Institute
bonds and New Mexico Agricultural
College bonds, to the amount of $25, ,Op0
each for these designated institutions,
when they are issued by the territory
pursuant to an act Of the New Mexico
legislature, be declared to be In all re-
spects valid and binding upon said ter
ritory.
Delegate Rodey of New Mexico has APP
piled to the secretary of the interior for
the withdrawal from public entry of
lands near Albuquerque aggregating al
most 10000 acres. Mr.. Rodey explained
that the cause for such action is the fact
that tract of land suitable for an army
post is soon to be selected from lands
lying near Albuquerque, and that spe-
culators have commenced absorbing
these public lands with view to selling
them to the city of Albuquerque or to
the government at q good price. The
city of Albuquerque will no doubt ask
the army to select lands lying adjacent
to the city, and for that reason does not
wish to have the choice sites absorbed
by private parties and spectators before
the war department makes its selection.
They have accordingly asked Delegate
Rodey to have all the available public
lands of desirable nature lying near
the city Withdrawn from entry. Mr..
Rodey says he wishes the lands with
drawn only for a space Of three or four
or until such time as the war
department can select the land they wish
to occupy. The request of Mr.. Rodey
was granted.

Artesian Water at Enrle.

But little progress has been made in
the drilling for coal near Engle, Sierra
county, at the point where artesian
water was struck six weeks ago The
delay has been caused by the delay in
receiving material needed on account of
the breakdown Of the drill. The bore
has been cased 200 feet and extended
22O feet more. Only few thin seams
of coal have been encountered thus far,
but work is to be continued until the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company is sat
isfied as to the nature OF the coal depos-
Its and their size. The pressure of water
in the bore hole has increased Is to 20
gallons a minute over former measure
ments and shows no signs of exhaustit n.
