 influx of the worst elements in the coun- try, mostly convicts or their descend ants. who have been wandering about in an aimless, shiftless way in fear of the police.
 Many Chinese, men and women. of kirghiz. and other natives have reached the camp, and the scenes daily and nightly witnessed are appalling. Mur- ders are of almost daily occurrence. No man can call anything his own.
 The Russian governor of the Amur district, has started for the gold fields with strong force of Cossacks, but it is expected that the half civilized sett- lers will not allow themselves to be de- prived of their privileges without a struggle.

The salmon fishing industry in Bris- tUl bay and in neishhoring sections. is assuming vast proportions.
 Nine cannerieS are in operation this erected this year. The Alaska Packing Association expects to put up 30o0 cases of salmon this year and the total pack of the Bristol bay section will reach half million eases. In the Bris- tol bay country there are probably 1000 men including whites. natives and Of law, nor any one to execute it. As a result there have been a number of murders of late. Recently a Japanese fisherman at Cgashik killed fellow countryman in d dispute over some fish which they had caught. The homicide was taken to Unalaska. An Indian drunken quarrel at Bristol bay. He was arrested by some white men and is confined, in irons, at that place.
 C. H. Clegg, who d short time ago was appointed United States cOmmis- sioncr and recorder with headquarters at Bristol bay, left on the Thetis this week for that place. With his arrival there will be some semblance of law and order
 A strike among the fishermen at Bristol bay this season, resulted in the fishermen securing their demands. These were for three cents for red salmon and two cents for dog salmon. The fishermen formerly had been paid two and one cent respectively.

Judqe Moore Sees the Miner
 at Work.
The Benches on the Left Limit Are Proving Rich and Great Deal of
 Work Is Being Done.

Last Wednesday Judge Moore and George V. Borchsenius, clerk of the district court, visited Anvil creek. Judge Moore was anxious to see the miner at work in the golden gravel and among the sluice boxes, and he greatly enjoyed his trip.
 "lt did me good, physically" said Judge Moore, "and it gave me an idea of how mining is actually done, and want to learn all about it."
 speaking of the Anvil creek benches, Mr. Borchsenius said they are becom- ing more and more promising as de- velopment proceeds. The left limit of Anvil creek is good all the way up, so far us they have been tested. The bench which forms a portion of No. abo,e is phenomenally rich. Mir. Borchsenius is developing the bench of No. F, and prospects are most en- c0ursging.

 DITCH Work on the Ditch Has Commenced. 2I MILES iN LENGTH
Its Cost WillApproximate S5o,OOO--Great Boon
 for That Section.

The schooner Bessie K. is unloading supplies and machinery at the mouth of Silver Bow creek, just below Top kok. for he Topkok Ditch Company. These supple, include machinery, lumber. feed for horses, etc.
 The survey for the ditch has been practically completed. It will be 2li miles long, and will have a grade of five feet to the mile. Cons derable diff fculty was experienced in getting q practicable route. The line will eros, three divides, and the greatest dili- culty encountered was to find a route whereby a sufficient fall could be se- cured for hydraulcing purposes.
 The ditch will tap the Kutchbluk a mile above the forks. and will cross the upper portions of California, Silver Bow and Ryan creeks to Eidorado and Daniels creeks. The ditch will be two feet deep, four feet wide at the bottom and seven feet at the top. and will carry zoo miners inches. It will also include pipe line 5,3O0 feet long.
 The Topkok Ditch Company is com posed of w. 5. Bliss, ]. NJ. Davidson aud W. l.. Leland. of the Mocene Ditch Company, and w. H. Emerson and Q. W. Ashby. who have extensive mining interests in that section. The work ls in charge of w. $. Bliss.
 5peahing ui the ditch, W. H. Emer- son said that the cost will approximate s50,000. The pipe spoken of above will be ordered from Pittsburg this fall, and will either be brought here and put together or will be put together in San Francisco and shipped to Nome early next spring.
 The Miocene and TopkoS Ditch com panics will winter so horses in this sec ton. and they state their intention to construct ditches wherever ground can be found to warrant the undertaking.
 A disposition, on the part of some claim owners. has been evinced to hold up the ditch companies, but it is thought that all difficulties will be cquitably adjusted.
