head of the stairs and entering the cell
occupied by the negro whose neck they
placed in a rope.
AS soon as the men emerged from the
cell it became apparent that the negro
could not be taken from the Jail and
hanged for fear Of being fired on and he
was shot to death. The mob then made
an effort to escape, but the sheriff and
his guard captured three of them, and they
are in Jail. One of them, it is said has
made a confession, duplicating thirteen
men in the affair."

 A RAILROAD What President Parmalee, of the YOrk-AlaSkan COrpO.
 ration, Says.

Under date of Sept. 8 Chas. Browne Parmalee, of New York, president, of the York-Alaslan Tin Corporation, writes Secretary Steiner that extensive developments of the company's tin properties will be undertaken next year. Mr. Parmalee, who is also the president of big New York wholesale drug company, visited Nome the past summer, and is enthusiastic over the mineral prospects of this section. Among the enterprises which will be inaugurated by the company next year is the building of a railroad from the companys tin mines on Buck creek 10 tidewater. The point of shipment will probably be Teller, as it is thought that Port Clrrence is the natural ship ping point for the mineral products of Cape York. The tin developments. this year. it is argued, will warrant the construction of the proposed railroad. The York Alaskan Co. will also ship in next spring the necessary machinery for working their ground on large scale. Mir. Parmalee writes that they mean business. A large quantity of stream tin was taken out by Mir. Par malee for treatment at the Tacoma smelter.

DOWN ON
 NORTON BAY Otter, a New Creek on Which Excellent Pay Is Said to
 Have Been Found.

For the past three years the Norton bay country has been more or less talked about, but very little gold has been produced, except on Bonanza creek, where several mines have been operated during the past two years.
 Now comes q well authenticated re- port that q good discovery has been made on Otter creek, a TubuktolilS tributary, where Philadelphia com pany, financially strong, is operating A shaft was sunk through 20 feet of gravel, then through 90 feet of muck, when gravel was again found, which pays well without bedrock having been reached. The creek is about the length of Anvil creek, and the benches are also promising. The Philadelphia company located all the claims on the creek, except four. They will carry on the work of development next win ter on large scale.
 Camp creek, in the same section, is a low grade proposition, which has not proved profitable to individual workers.
