THE PAULIsTs.
Father HeaIey Preached Yesterday
and Spoke of Mission Results.

The Rev. Father Healy, the Paulst
priest, who has been assisting the Rev.
Father Younan in the mission, was the
preacher at high mass yesterday. Before
beginning his sermon he expressed his
qualification at the interest the members
of the congregation had taken in the
services and thanked God for the large
results that had attended the work of
Father Younan and himself. But he. re-
minded them that the work had only be-
gun, and said that If the members would
keep up their zeal still larger results of
the mission would follow. Father Healy's
sermon text was Prepare ye the way
of the Lord" and was appropriate to the
closing of the Advent season.
During the cffertory Oliver Chalifaux
and Frank j. Luce played "The Lost
Chord" as a violin duet.
Father Younan and Father Hea1y will
remain here until tomorrow.

On the other side of the monument is
the wreath worn on the helmets of the
policemen, and below it hangs a club
In the wreath Is the figure 1, showing
that when the policeman was killed he
wore badge No. l, slgnlfying that he was
the oldest policeman in point of service
on the force.
Policeman Walton was shot by Jim
Webb, a negro. about II o'clock on the
night of March IS last He went to a
room in which Webb was barricaded, and
as he pushed the door open the negro
fired, shooting him through the heart.
The negro was captured in an hour and
is now under sentence of death.
The monument over his grave is 10 feet
tall and cost in the neighborhood of $500.
1t is built of grey granite and is a
handsome shaft. Yesterday afternoon the
grave and monument were covered with
wreaths of flowers sent by the policemen
and friends of the dead officer.

Several Negroes Injured, One
Has Leg Broken
TRAFFIC IS NOT DELAYED
Wreckine Train Was Returning to the
Yards After Having Put an En-
CINE on the Traok-The
Wrecker is peralled.

A switch engine with a cut of cars
and a wrecker collided yesterday MORN
ing about o'clock in the yards of the
Southern railroad near the cotton com
press just back of Mary Pratt furnaces
The result was that several of the negro
hands on the wrecker were bruised and
badly shaken up, and one of them had
his leg broken.
The wreck was just west of the Avon
dale station and was cleared away in a
short time, there being no serious delay
to the regular trains. The injured man
and those who were bruised were taken
to Copeland and Berry's hospital in Lige
Logs and Taylor ambulances. They are:
Charlie Gilbert, negro, leg broken
and bruised.
Henry White, negro, badly shaken up
and bruised.
William Kennedy, negro. shaken up and
bruised.
West Harper, negro, shaken up and
bruised.
There were several others who were
slightly Jared in the collision, but all
were able to go to their homes without
assistance. Gilbert will be the only one
confined to the hospital more than two
or three days.
1t seems that the wrecking train was
returning to the yards after having put
an engine on the track short distance
down the road. The switch engine with
several cars was on the old main lire
and the two coIlided before they could
be stopped. The switch train struck the
car of the wrecker on which the negro
hands were and derailed It,
1t required about an hour to clear the
wreck.

The Alaska prospector., 1902-07-17

The United States purchased Alaska in 1S61 for $7,2O0,00o and many thought we had made risky bargain. Since that time Amcri- can enterprise has pushed its way into this far off land until the an- nual trade amounts to more than S12,O0O,0OO. and the outlook for growth is good. So far as can be gathered from the imperfect statis- ties the total trade has amounted to the vast sum of Sl50000. .000, about equally divided between iurs. fish and gold. The population has increased from 32,OOO to nearly 75,O00 and the immigration this year will be larger than ever before.
 Yet with this wonderful show ing; this great output of riches, we are the most neglected of the pos sessions of the United States. For 35 years Alaska has been a posses sion of the United States, yet we have no more ri ghts than the Phil ippinos. No one represents in Congress. An unjust tax is inn posed upon Us without representa- tiOn, and our people cannot even take up piece of land for home and secure title to it. Our gov ernment spent millions of. dollars on Cuba and is spending millions in the Philippines, but will not evens i've Alaska the taxes imposed uponour industries.

Congress has passed an 18th milan canal bill which authorzes the president to purchase the Pan- anna ditch for $4O,OOO, GOO, provided he is satisfied as to title. In case the purchase is not practicable he may arrange for the Nicarauga route. The bill also provides for for an issue of canal bonds of $13O. 100000, at } per cent.

THE COPPER COUNTRY


 Nicolai, June 23.-Dan Grennig was still sitting down at the mouth of Tonsina on the 17th. He was waiting for Birch's outfit to reach there and was then going up the kotsina.
 Dr. Billum runs the ferry across the Copper. Davis has not got his cable yet. He intends to put in steam ferry next year, and also ferry at Kotsina.
 The crossing at Kotsina, where Tom kenneally was drowned, is bad place. The main channel is against the left hand bank, and there is no landing for horse when the river is high. The Mill lard pack train laid up there two days waiting for the river to fall,
 l. Blakenay is on Strelna. Will move to Kuskalana late in July.
 Bert skinner and Doc. Winans were on Strelna till June 10, when they moved to kuskalana.
 A. Me Naughton was camped on kuskalana at crossing.
 A. Me Neer, F. Hoffman and !. Me Carthy were on Kuskalana.
 Bob Young, Amman, Gcllineau, Bell, Crawford and Elliot x Hub bard are an Kotsina,
 Buck Hoyt is working on Lakna lckes, Bob Schaffer and several others are working at Bonanza. They have run two tunnels along the walls of the ore, and built a cabin.
 Warner and Al Bowling are opening up the coal mine near Bo- nanza.
 Van Zant, Dr. Sam Lynch and Doe. Cockercl are doing assessment work on Nicolai. They will leave here about the 18th of July for the head of kutsina, where is some work to be done. They have built a cabin near timber line on Nicolai Creek.
 Ray Willard leaves tomorrow for Nizina.
 Dan Kane and Tom Blakely are on Dan Creek, Nazina.
 Ross, the two Griffs., Sweeney and Williams are in Nazina coun- try.
 Weather is fine here. no rain all summer. Mosquitoes rather too numerous to be pleasant.
 It is well worth a trip into this country just to see the Bonanza and Nicolai mines. The amount of mineral wealth piled up in these two properties, appears to be even greater than the reports Ina We stated They are certainly world beaters, With the copper, fro mhead of Kot-
 
 sina across to this place, the gold on Nazina, and the great possibil- ities of the unexplored portions of this section, the country drained by the Chittyna and its tributaries, is bound to be the greatest mineral producing section of Alaska. w. H. c.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES.
THE SOUL OF THE ESKIMO.

IH the Western world mind and soul are too frequently considered synonomous terms. About the only point of resemblance between mind and soul iS the fact that neither can be recognized by any of the five senses, which are our principal means of obtaining knowledge.
 The mind is the arbiter of the senses. It is the headquarters re- ceiving the messages transmitted by sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. It separates, combines and classifies these messages. and de- ducts conclusions thercirom. The faculty that has the power of de- ducing conclusions from external facts can reason about things on the subjective plane, and it is con sidercd the highest attribute of mind. But all these qualities are purely human, part of man in the world of matter. God is not a reasoning being. Reasoning pre- supposes something unknown. The Omniscent does not have to inves- tigate, and faculty by which we learn will be superiiuous when we know everything.
 A man may have brilliant mind and have a very small soul and he may have q soul that feels keenly the heart throbs of sorrow and misery and have an ordinary mind. They are separate entities, happily combined in some of the greatest characters of history, but both are not necessary to the achievement of what the world un- fortunately regards as greatness.
 In this bleak and dreary country there is race of people who have the minds of children, and souls of unrecognized worth. Environment may have played an important part in their development. They live in a land where there is a con- tinual struggle foran existence, and they are strangers to luxury. Ma tive conditions could not help the development of their minds beyond the limit of their necessities. With the crude materials available they have shown great ingenuity in de- vlsing means of wrestling susten- ance from scant nature. But their struggles have developed the soul and made strong the bond of uni yerSal brotherhood.
 Every old Alaskan will testify to thelf uniform Kindness. There never has been an instance where they could assist unfortunate pros peetors or succor shipwrecked mar iners where they did not manifest the qualities that belong to the soul. Instances of risking life to aid the distressed, and sacrifices for the white stranger, are nunier- ous. Their goodness of heart should b. recognized, in connection with their inahilily to cope with the new civilization that is en- croaching upon them, and uniting them for the work they have been accustomed 10 do.-Nome News
