The herds have been and are in charge of few white persons, and there is reason to believe that the reindeer indus try" has been managed" on an entirely selfish plan. At any rate, few people will be found in this section of Alaska who can point to any tangible results (so far as the public good is concerned) from the introduction of reindeer. Of the use of these animals the people of this section have only such knowledge as may be gleaned from the government reindeer reports. Certain it is that the theories and the facts therein advanced and al legged have never received practical demonstration The "reindeer in. dustry," as we know it, is govern mental toy, useful only to the few who own it and profit by it.

The other day three men, who last winter were employed by Mir. c. A. Perrin, of the Northern Min ing X Trading Co.,, on Specimen gulch, jumped No. 1 bench claim, belonging to Mir. Perrin. The claim had been developed underground from an adjoining claim, but the misguided and misinformed men jumped it because no surface work had been done. MT. Perrin went to the men; he asked how they wished to be treated, and they told him. Then he sat down and talked the matter over with them, showed them what work had been done, and the men finally confessed that they had been advised by n num- Der of "attorneys" to jump the claim. The men, to their credit be it stated, acknowledged their mistake and their shame. A bill of sale was immediately made out and presented to Mir. Perrin, who then generously gave the men n lay on the ground. The men are all right, but what of their alleged "Iegal advisers ?"

It is not an edifying spectacle to see drunken, bowling Eskimo and his wife being hauled through the streets, but it seems to us that it might be both edifying and salu- tary if one could see the miscreants who sell hootch to the poor native, receive about forty lashes on the bare back. It is only a misde meanor to sell a native hootch in Alaska. It ought 10 be made a felony.

matter which the committee on resolutions failed to consider was the reindeer question. This was purely oversight and it should have found a place among the resolutions adopted So far as the introduction of reindeer in Alaska is concerned we have no criticisms to make. But there is wide field for it when the management of the reindeer industry is called in question. We believe that that manage ment has been altogether unsatisfactory; reindeer were introduced for specific purpose-to aid the na tives in obtaining sustenance-and, so far as this object is concerned, it has been total faure as we have heretofore pointed out But 2 handful of ma.
