Cherrzfelds-on-the-& ST.. Georges.
Messrs. Editors My intention in
calling notice to the death of the
poor idiot, Henry Thomas, in Jail,
after a confinement of about four
months, was 70 prevent a repetition
of this outrage in all future time, If
an indignant and wholesome public
opinion can avail anything in that
direction. Ny censure was not
pointed at the Commissioners Court
or to any particular official, but to
such who were responsible for the
treatment the poor. imbecile wretch
received, whoever they may be. In
the heat of Summer and the cold of
late Fall, he was kept in a cage, like
some ferocious wild beast, and was
allowed no heat because he was re-
cognized as crazy man. / have
written down the word man."
which submit is a misnomer, for
he seems to have not been regarded
as a member Of the human family at
all, the treatment accorded him be-
ing duly weighed and considered.
Verify, there never was greater
truth uttered outside of the inspired
book, than imam s. inhumanity to
man makes countless thousands
mourn. have been told that two
physicians examined him to deter
mine his mental status, who refused
TO certify that he was idiotic or era
zy. III this be q fact, and their re-
fusal was based on their inability to
decide this question. then it is my
positive and very candid opinion
that commission OF lunacy should
be appointed to determine their
mental powers, for none but sober
and sane men should be allowed TO
practice medicine. | am aware that
there have been many deviations
from these qualities as many can fes-
tify, If called on, and the truth could
be brought to the surface, but that
rather shows the necessity for the
exaction mentioned in the sentence
above. The more l hear of expla-
nations and apologies for the inhu-
man outrage, the more disconnected
and shocked my condition becomes.
From recent and reliable accounts
that have come to my ears, there is
an open question, whether Thomas
came to his death from the chill of
o fireless stone Jail in late November
or the depicting torture of many
thousands OF vermin. Alas! this
Henry Thomas was only q poor ne
gro possessed Of q modicum of brain
power, but he had feeling-he had
more--a God-given, immortal soul.
He was meek and ever harmless, and
no one feared he would doan injury,
yet he died like dog, whom none
would kill, shut up in a kennel, so
harrassed by insects, that the natur-
al craving for food, common to all
animals, became extinct, and the
very sight Of anything TO sustain
life was viewed with loathing and
disgust. And all this in a Christian
community
Someone. someone's 60 blame,
Someone should hang his head I'm shame

The Size of Arcturus.

From the small value of the para
lax found for Arcturus we cannot
place very much reliance on its ac-
euracy, but there can be little doubt
that the distance of this bright
star is really very great. and that
consequently it is a much larger
sun than ours, probably one of .e
most massive bodies in the universe.

Experiment Station.

COPPER CENTER, June 16.-Find- ing nothing of interest to write we have kept silent long time, but as the season advances we are glad to note a very promising future in the way of agriculture in the Cop per river valley.
 We arrived at the Station April 26th, and as soon as the frost was out of the ground started the blow. This was interesting both to the white man and Siwash. The In- dians came from far and near to see the wonderful blow (Hiyu Mommuck) and later the harrow (Hi-yu Mommuck). We now have about 15O plots seeded, most of which shows up thus far very encouraging. In all we have nine acres seeded to wheats, rye, barleys, oats, emmers, spelts, buckwheat, flax, field peas, rape, 13 varieties of grasses, and all the vegetables com monly grown in the states. Every thing is growing very nicely, and some vegetables will be ready for the table in few days.
 Prof. c. c. Georgeson, director of Alaska stations, will visit Copper river station some time in July.

 Jack Miller and crew are still digging with good results. Bob Coles has been on his claim for some time, and there is real bare ground around his tent.
 Graham aud wife are at the mouth of Miller gulch.
 Newcomb X Bartlett are getting their last loads up to their claim likewise Lasker and partner.
 Below Miller gulch the perman- ent camps have been established excepting on the California claim. The tent on the latter is in very bad condition; a snow slide broke the ridge pole besides pushing the big tent partly down hill.
 Work will be commenced about as early as last year, the snow is disappearing rapidly. and the warm, sunny days we are having will soon make it disappear entirely The majority of claim owners who had caches here miss stuff that has been stolen. On the Cali. fornia claim someone took a wedge and hammer and pried apart the sluice boxes to get the gold tha, had accumulated in the cracks The same was done on Newcomb's claim. The boxes were mutilated with wedge and hammer.

Slate Creek.

SLATE CRERK, May 20, 19O3.- Everyone except McGee's party has arrived, and nearly all are at the different camps. Bill Huin. Jo-Jo and Sam Means got here a few days ago with a light load; they will have to get their outfits packed in on horses. Con Beggs leaves here in a few days to bring up Me- Gees outfit, which is, I believe, somewhere between the Gokona and Golkana.
 At all the various camps they are busy repairing and making sluice boxes and other. necessary work around camp. others are still digging in snow slides to find their tents and caches left here last year. Councilman Kraemer is comfortably established on his claim; l found him on the end of a cross cut saw getting up an appe- tite.

To Be an Alaskan.

The secretary of the interior has given promise to Ex-Mayor J. L. Steele, of Valdez, that within few weeks he will appoint, as provided in the bill making 5000 appro- priation for an Alaska exhibit at the St. Louis Fair, commissioner to take charge of the work. He also signified that when the ap- pointment is made it will be an Alaska man, capable of performing the duties of the office, who will be acceptable to the government and the people of the district.
 From this it would appear that Arthur c. Jackson, F. A. G. S., ,who seeks the appointment over the protest of almost all the commer- cial bodies of the north, is out of the race, and Mir. Steele left the secretary with the impression that a suitable bona fide Alaska resi- dent would be named.
 Mir. Steele returned to this city June Sth from Washington, where he has been for the greater portion of the last four weeks. He also visited other eastern cities. His trip was on personal matters, but while in the capital he deemed it wise to call on the secretary of the interior.
 We are much interested in the appointment of a St. Louis com missioner" he said at the Rainier Grand hotel yesterday, land while 1 was in Washington I called on the secretary of the interior and talked the matter over with him. He told me that he would make the appointment very soon, and that he had in view a capable Alas ka man who would be acceptable to the department and the people of the north.
 "I pointed out to him that only the appointment of man identi- fled with the interests of Alaska would be acceptable to the people of the north, and that only such a man would be able to make suc- cess of the exhihit which means so much to us.
 ''In the first place, the residents of the north feel aggrieved at the fact that when there is an appoint ment in Alaska it is given to some man on the outside who has no business there. The appropriation made by the government for the exhibit is only $5O.OOO. This is far too small to provide for repre- sentative exhibit. However, we are not complaining about that. The residents of the north, if an Alaska man is appointed who is acceptable to all parts, are willing to raise at least $1OO,OOO more so as to make the exhibit success. An Alaska man, who is capable, can raise this sum, but an outsider, will not be able to get cent. Such is the feeling over appointments.
 1t makes no difference to us from what section of the district the man comes, so long as he is identified with the country and has its interests at heart.
 "The appointment should be made as soon as possible, for the summer season is fast going. Lit. tie of the work of the commissioner can be done during the winter sea- son because he cannot get over the country. If the commissioner does as he has been petitioned to do Alaska will astonish the world in its exhibit.-Seattle P.-I.

 led with myriads of snow flakes. The calendar tells me 'tis summer, but how can l believe it when around me mountains and valley are covered with a mantle of white. The month opened with good prom ises, the sun was shining brightly, humble bees were buzzing around the sugar sacks, Contents selling at one dollar per pound, and I was even shown a wild flower picked on the mountain side, when on the earth it was curious to see what summer really looked like, had peeped through. Alas! that night it showed, and when we went forth in the morning we had to dig about under one foot of snow to find our washbasin. To-day "the beautiful" again mocks us, and no doubt will continue to do so all night; any way have taken my washbasin into the tent.
 There is one redecming feature about this late snow, it does not exist long, it melts quicker and helps to dissolve the winters accu- mutation.
 Work this year will be few days later than last year. There are men at work on nearly all claims, but their occupation is snow shov- cling.
 On Miller gulch, snowslides were numerous last winter. On Garret X Tulley's claim men are digging a ditch through seventeen feet of snow. On the claim above 25 feet depth has been found. Bert Hurd has not been blessed with a great accumulation. Kraemer X Miller are satisfied that they have had their share, and their men are sluicing the snow as fast as they can.
 On Slate there is from two to three feet of snow. The Tacoma has men at work repairing the ditch besides sluicing snow. The claims above and below are getting rid of the snow in various ways.
 At present 1O9 men are here. Dooley duly arrivel ]. and the Irish village and the Midway are run ming full blast.
 When Dooley arrived with II others report got out that "a sec tion boss with his gang had been sent here by the new railroad"
 Nels Jepson is running a hash ranch at the mouth of Miller gulch. Nels says, Fools change their bill of fare, wise men never"
 H. Summers and A. Pickthall arrived here yesterday, they left Valdez with an outfit to go to the Tanana, pulling on the snow until they were able to raft on the Delta. They were within s miles of the Tanana river when their raft met with an accident, causing them to lose their entire outfit. They were Tn hOrrid condition when they reached Slate creek; having existed on three cups of beans, a pound of flour and four rabbits they had killed. It took them about a week to make the 115 miles they claim it is. They have secured work on N. E. Ohlsson's claim.
 Sandberg turned his horse out on his upright farm above his claim. He forgot to put skis on him. The horse made toboggan of himself and returned home very suddenly. Funeral, 3 p. m.; no flowers.
