NEWS FROM
 UNALAKL|K
Photographic Communication Be. tween That Point and St.
 Michael Suspended.

Unalaklik, Nov. F. Telegraphic communication between here and St. Michael is interrupted; it is supposed that the cable between St. Michael and the mainland is broken.
 News was received here yesterday that the Marconi pole with it's tele graphic accessories is in working order in St. Michael. The pole is 2l0 feet in height, surmounted:by red and white electric light. The operator has been trying to communicate with Port Safe ty, but as yet without success. There is some talk of sending a team over to see what is the matter; l presume the Port Safety people are talking the same way.
 Gentle rumors are waited across the portage to the effect that Bob Warren has struck good pay opposite Nulato. cannot vouch for the truth of the re- port.
 The trail along the coast from St. Michael to Shaktolik is good, also from Bonanza to Isaac's Point. There has been hardly any snowfall, consequently the the trails across the portages are bad.
 A party of three that left Solomon for NulatO, passed through here a few days ago; they report the loss of their dogs and entire outfit: they went through ice two miles this side of Portage road house.
 The machinery for Nelson Bros. at Bonanza is lying at Shaktolik, the schooner Zenith being unable to go to Bonanza, on account of the early freeZ- up: it will be freighted across as soon as there is sufficient snow to make the trail good.
 It is claimed that good pay has been found on Bonanza; as evidence two new roadhouses have been opened, and are doing well. do not think that there is need of any more men there, as there are sufficient number already to do all the work.
 A few men have gone to the Anvik, headed by Aleck Loren, an old pros pector, and more are going in from St Michael.

In Reply to Brooks.

Washington, D. c.. Nov 2l. 1903
Hon f E. Brooks,
u s House of Representatives
DEAR Sra:
Your letter OF November l6. to the
Hon. J II Fimple, acting commission
er of the general land otiice, relative to
the recent withdrawal of certain lands
near salida, Colorado, has been re-
f~rred To the bureau of forestry for
consideration of your statement that it
is claimed a greater area has been
withdrawn than is properly the subject
of forest reservation, Including much
agricultural land and in one instance a
portion of the town of Salida.''
This withdrawal is merely tempor-
ar5 one pending the report OF this
bureau, which has carefully examined
and mapped every portion of the area
and is now preparing its recommended
tions. The question has been consid-
cred from the standpoint of the resi-
dents of the region and you may be
assured that nothing will be recon-
mended detrimental to their perma-
nent interests. 1t is not the desire OF
the government to create reserves
where they are of no use or whsre
legitimate industries or settlement Will
receive therefrom greater injury than
benefit. The withdrawal in question
included much open or agricultural
land simply because at the time no
definite information as to its character
