Grub Stake for Rich Man.

We came across n grub stake con tract n few days since, which struck us as rather amusing. It was a one sided affair and the party sup plying the outfit, should, according to the articles of agreement, be thankful that he is allowed to live.
 For tine sake of convenience we will call the one putting up the money. the party of the first part, and the one who was obliging enough to accept it the party oi the second part. The terms of the agreement, as made out by one of our leading lawyers, provided:
 First, that the contract should he for two months,
 Second, that the party of the first part should provide an outfit for all summer.
 In consideration of the above, it was further agreed, that the first claim stakcd would belong 10 the party of the second part exclusively. the next one would he by power of attorney for d friend of the party of the second part and then to show that he was good fellow he agreed that ill the event of a third claim being staked, the party of the first part would be entitled to one third of came.
 In view of the last kind consid- eration, the party of the first part furnished an order on one of our merchants for the necessary goods, which order was immediately pre- sente,l at the store. In the mean time some friends assured the party of the first part that he was not getting square deal, so he stopped the order before it was filled, and declared the affair off. The staked party however had secured rubber gloves, mitts, hat, boots, pick, pan, shovel and cooking utensils, all of which he held for his trouble. He also secured a razor, which he said was necessary for cutting off his whiskers in case they should get frozen.
 The party of the second part was .xery indignant about the break off but says that he can stake himself if he must, as he has five hundred dollars in his clothes.

Lost a Horse.

Owing to tho remarkable mild ness of this past winter, the ice trail through the Lowe river canyon Is in poor condition and on the last trip that Mir. Workman made from here to his road house with sup plies, one of his horses fell into the stream and was drowned before assistance could be had to save him.
 This is the first occurrence of the kind that has happened in the can yon, although many outfits have gone that way into the interior, since iS99, and will continue to take that trail until the railroad is completed.

A Prospector's Ode to His Pipe.

 Hail faithful corn-cob, friend in-
 deed. Thou solace of my lonesome hours. With Siwash leaf I'll fill thee up, And Grial castles build, with smoky Perchance I'll wander through
 Elysian fields, Or in Utopia's fair realm may roam. But when the magic of thy power
 is spent, I'll find myself safe back again, at
 home. When fortune frowns and fickle
 friends forsake. And failures seem to be deadly
 crime, I'll fill thy bowl and in the incense
 sweet Puff out defiance to old father
 Time. Forget the wrongs that breed re-
 vcngeful thoughts, And blissfully unconscious of lifc's
 toil and tears, The balm of peace will permeate
 my soul, And wing my thoughts to brighter,
 happier spheres. 4 MUSTER. NOTE-We have ninety-three contributions of poetry, descriptive articles. etc. on file, each of which is signed "A Musher." We would suggest that some of these, in the future, adopt different nom de plume.-Ed.

Curious Chunk of Copper.

Red Hoffman, of this town, made a hurried trip to the interior late last fall and returned smilingly, in February, He made some good locations of copper, and relocated some ground that he had previous ly stakcd. One claim is rather a curious freak. It is known and recorded as the Big Boulder placer claim, and is situated on the Kos kolina, a tributary of the Chittyna, The ground was staked merely to take possession of Il massive boul- der of pure copper. The boulder has rolled out into the creek bed, and shows about fifteen tons of metal above ground. This piece of copper is in section where that mineral abounds, and many small CT pieces may be found throughout the creek. but it is doubtful if an- other such boulder can be found in Alaska.
 If your watch stops in the placer camps or on the trail, don't you stop but send your watch to W. C.. Stull, Valdez, the expert watch maker, by returning packers or mail carriers. Not necessary now to send watches to Portland or San Francisco to get them dociored. Stull's prescriptions set them right, and on time.

TIE FUR TRADE.
Many Valuable Furs Handled by Local Dealers. Copper River Valley Rich ill Fur Bear.
 ing Animals.

During the past two mnths there has been Il large nrmlrr of very fine furs shipped from Valdez. and the industry is assumin@large proportions. It is difficult to es.i- mate the number or their value, as many private parties purchase furs while in the interior prospecting, and either send them out them- selves or take them when thy go to the States A large numler are ! also sent out by mail and mere by express
 The natives come as far IS 250 nml 300 miles during the winter and spring months, to Vallez to 1 sell and trade their furs and see the white mans "hiyou stick town." They bring many different varieties of skins and return to their vil- lages laden down with provisions and clothing.
 Few natives have mushed in this season, as it Is yet little early. and besides, there has been num- 'er of buyers visiting their villages during the winter, but several thousand dollars worth of furs have been sent out by our merchants.
 There are several varietic, of fur bearing animals found in this sec tion of Alaska. These include red black and silver-grey fox, black, brown and silver-tip bear, narten, wolverene, fisher, land otter, mink and several other varieties.
 Fish Bros. arc the largest deal CTS, having d number of men in the interior, who buy up frrs, and several stations where the natives go to trade for provisions. This year this firm has already ,hipped S30O0 dollars worth.
 H. w. Miller buys large amount of those that are brought into town and has had some very beautiful furs this winter. He has shipped about $1200 worth
 Temple x Doughcrty mve not made an extra effort to purchase furs but have sent $500 worth to the States.
 Victor l., Marion, A, $. McNear and party went in to Copper Cen ter on flying trip this winter, and returned with 5000 worth
 Fertilizer Louie who has a fox island near here has shipped 12O blue fox skins this season, valued at $500,
 It can be safely said that the value of those. sent out by private parties would Ike 5000, and that there are 5000 worth in tawn, not for sale.
 The amounts ctotnI ,ro ,ybof they are valued at here, and in all amounts to $7 800, but the furs will bring between $1O,OOO and $12,OOO in the market. This is not small business and may be more than doubled before the season Is over.
 The Michigan Ship Building Co.,, of Tacoma, are now constructing d five thousand ton steamship for the northern trade. The vessel is in- tended for freight and passenger traffic and will be capable of run ming not less than seventeen knots an hour. The parties for whom it is being built, have no desire for the present to have their names mentioned, nor do they give out the exact run it will take, but it is generally understood that it is the intention to put Valdez and other near by ports in more direct communication with Tacoma. The board of tradeOf Tacoma is desirous of improving their trade with AL aska and is anxious to come for ward in friendly and businesslike
