A BRIDGE OVER
 NOME RIVER
The Structure Has Been Completed and Is Now Open for Traffic.
 Very Substantial.

A new undertaking, just completed, is the Nome river, owned and operated by C. G. Horsiall. The work of con struction was commenced March 20, last, and the bridge thrown open to the public last Thursday, May 8.
 The bridge is built on the suspension plse, there being four galvanized-steel cables suspended over towers 26 feet high, which rest on piles driven 24 feet into the ground. The cables are coupled to anchor chains, fastened H feet under ground to bolsters, with piling driven 20 feet deep in front ot the holsters. In all the bridge is l62 feet long, 9 feet wide and has q carry ing capacity of b tons.
 The draw in the bridge is at the north end, and boats 30 feet above water can easily pass through. Al mean tide the bridge stands l3 feet above water.
 The bridge spans Nome river a short distance above the mouth, the sOutt end being on the military reserve, foi which privilege the military is granted | free transportation.
 BoyntOn X Nicholson, the contractors are justly proud of their work, which is complete in every detail.
 The rates are: Foot passengers, 2 cents; dog teams. 50 cents: single team $l: double team, &i.5o.

Winnipeg, March l0.-Mrs. Richard Berens, an English girl, is now proud of the right of being the first woman to set foot on the top of Mount Sir Donald. which perces the sky at an elevation of 10, 700 feet. MT. and Mrs. Berens passed through the city yesterday. They are from Kent, England, and are returning from a honeymoon tour around the world.
 While at Glacier Mrs. Berens heard that no woman had ever reached the top of Mount Sir Donald. She at once resolved to try, especially as she heard Philadelphia lady make the assertion that she intended to be the first to make the ascent.
 Mount Sir Donald is the most diff cult of all the peaks. Up to date only q dozen men have succeeded in stand ing on the seeming needle point Oi rock. Mrs. Bercns is a little, slight woman, about feet inches, weighing only 96 pounds.

WILL NOT
 INCORPORATE
A Meeting at Council City Decides Against the Proposition by
 Large Majority.

Council City, May 9.-For some 10 days past rather unusual energy has been displayed by the residents of Council. Men have been seen in twos. in threes and in groups, vehemently discussing questions of all-importance. Some were loud and demonstrative in disputation: some were quiet. earnest and determined. and, as is usually the case a large number discerned and drew forth the amusing side of the situation. The cause of all this un- usual commotion was a poster annOunc- ing public meeting to consider the question of incorporating the com munity. Following .his announcement the American citizen soon found him self glorying in his element-municipal politics. More button holes were worn threadbare in the first week than dur ing the previous winters usage. The energy expended, had it been convert ed into the form of prospecting, would have sunk quite number of holes to bedrock.
 When the hour for which the meet ing was set drew near large number of men were observed approaching the place. The two rooms of the old Beach saloon were soon filled. d considerable crowd forming on the outside around the windows and doors.
 The friends of incorporation were wholly unorganzed. After consider able delay Editor Underwood called the meeting tO order and ultimately secured chairman Tn the person oi Attorney Joe Kelly. A weak effort to get a motion to incorporate before the house was made by the incorporators, which proved futile. All notion ol fight was put to flight; the leaders seemed terror-stricken; the following wavered and fled; the 'man-of-straw' ' men seemed to realize the issue lost, and all parties united in q motion ,C adjourn. Thus was consigned to the gltum of defeat the second attempt tC fOist on the dear public the boon oi local government.

covery of any portion of the outfit be-
longing to Andree, and though natives
have gone in search of them they have
never returned. believing, as the Rev.
DR.. Farlies says. that they will in
some way be punished for they now
understand that it was not an attack
upon them, but an accident by which
the gun was discharged that precipi-
tated the massacre.
Had Andree made friends with tho
natives it is held he would have been
safely conducted south and would
eventually have reached civilization.
The Hudson Bay company has re-
Gently sent another party in search
of the balloon and outfit of Andree,
and hopes to have conclusive evidence
of the fate of the explorer within
few months.
Solomon A. Andree, with two com
panions, Strindberg and Frankel, at
tempted in 1897 to find the North Pole
with balloon. They embarked on
July II from one of the islands in the
Spitzbergen group. Since that time,
many rumors of their being found,
dead or alive, have been circulated,
but In every case until now these
have proved false. Several of them
have located the party on or near the
north coast of the American conti-
nent.
The revival of an old story that An
dree and his companions were mur-
dered by Esquimaus up there raises a
number of interesting questions. The
first of these relates to the intelli-
gence of the men who from time to
time have passed this tale down from
Hudson's Bay to civilization, and who
pretend to have got it from the Es-
quimaus. In view of the large number
of flakes" which have been perpe-
trated since Andree's disappearance in
regard to his fate. some doubts may
exist as to the honesty of the persons
who are responsible for this particular
account But, granting their perfect
sincerity, it is not inconceivable that
they wrongly interpret the facts.
Early last March this same story
came from Winnipeg, and was attrib-
uted to Mr.. Alston, an agent of the
Hudson Bay company The officials
of that organization, however, briefly
discredited it.
What Andree hoped for when he
started was a breeze blowing fifteen
miles an hour to the northward. This
would have enabled him to cover the
seven hundred miles between Spitz-
bergen and the Pole in two days, and
Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-07-19

carry him over to Behring Strait in
six. The last news received from him,
dated two days after starting, was dis
patched by a carrier pigeon. This
report of latitude and longitude
showed that he had gone in north
easterly direction about one hun
dred and fifty miles, or at the rate of
three miles an hour. If there had
been no calms intervening thereafter
and no deviation from a straight
course that speed would have brought
him to Eastern Siberia in about a
month or six weeks. But the winds
in the Arctic region are exceedingly
tickle in summer. What is still more
important it is hard to render a bal
loon so completely gas tight as to re-
tain its buoyancy more than few
days. 1t is in the highest degree prob
able that Andree was compelled to
abandon his balloon for this reason at
some point hundreds, probably thou
sands, of miles from land. Search
parties have looked in vain for some
trace of him on the east coast of
Greenland, in Spitzbergen, Franz Jo-
sef Land, the New Siberian Islands,
and Siberia. The chance of his reach
ing Alaska or British North America
was much smaller than that of land
ing in these other places. Hence, un-
til the relics which are reported to
have been found up near Hudson's
bay are identified by competent au-
thority it will be wise to receive the
story with caution. not to say scepti-
cism.

Prediction That the Field Will be
Exhausted in Twenty-Five Years.
1t is impossible to predict with any
accuracy the duration of miping in
the Witwatersrand district, by reason,
especially, of the indeterminate fac
tor of the rate at which exploitation
will be carried on. says John Hays
Hammond in the Engineering Maya
zine. 1t may be observed, however,
that the tendency is to exploit the
auriferous areas as rapidly as pos
sible, and that engineering methods
are all adopted with that end in view.
If the explorations of the deeper lev
els is not delayed pending the proving
of the ground lying above, but is car
ried on currently with the exploita-
tion of the higher horizons of the
reefs, the industrial life of the dis
trict will, of course, be corresponding
ly shortened. The working of lower
grade ores, made possible by improve
ed economic conditions or other cir
cumstances, would tend to increased
longevity of the industry. But were
l called upon to express an opinion,
| would estimate the future duration
of profitable operations on a large
scale in the district at less, rather
than more, than twenty-five years.

A Stirring Career Closes in the Death
of Charles D. Poston.

Charles d. Poston, pioneer, traveller,

hut, with the bare earth as a floor.
He drew a pension Of sS5 a month
