Delegate Bill.

The senate committee on terri tories, on Feb. 25th, reported the Alaska delegate bill recently passed by the house with an amendment which strikes out every provision of the house measure and author izes the appointment of cOmmis- sioner from Alaska to be appointed by a commission, consisting of the governor of the territory, the sur veyor-general and judges of the three district courts. It is stipulated that the commissioner appointed shall not be related to any of the five members of the appointing commission. The bill will now go to conference, but the provisions of the two bills are so radically diff ferent that an agreement is q mat ter of grave uncertainty.
 The Alaska Commercial Co.,, North American Transportation & Trading Co. and Alaska Explora- tion Co, are pressing claim of $26, 300 against the government for supplies furnished the Alaska in- dians during the epidemic of 1900.

ANOTHER WHARF NOW BEING ERECTED ON
 KEYSTONE AVE. .buif By W.[. 6eiger
Will Be Rushed To Completion As Fast As Possib'e. Twenty
 Feet Wide.

The erection of another wharf in Valdez began last Tuesday at the foot of Keystone ave. Geiger and McPhee are in charge and the work will he rapidly pushed to completion. Natives and white men have been busy most of u e winter cutting and rafting logs in the numerous bays along the sound and these are being forwarded as rapidly as possible for use as piles. A large number of piles will be re- qnired, the dimensions of the wharf will be fourteen hundred feet long by not less than twenty feet wide throughout, with fve.foot side walk for pedestrians. In connet . tion with the wharf there will be a warehouse, 40x16O feet, for the safe-keeping of goods, pending their removal.
 Mir. Geiger is an old hand at the bridge and wharf building business and is fully competent to manage the construction of the present structure. Mir. McPhee, his part ner in the enterprise, has been for several years a resident of Dawson. and is well kaown to the residents of that place.

Eighty Stanps.

The Mount Baker-Yale Mining company has practically completed arrangements to put up an eighty stamp mill on their property, in- stead of a forty-stamp mill as was at first contemplated. This will enable them to treat 400 tons of rock daily, giving them an esti- mated net revenue of $72 900 per month.-Seattle Weekly Times, Feb. 2S.

Additions to MN1.

The sawmill, which closed down late last fall in order to make some addition to the plant, will open up again in few days. MT. Robin son, manager of the works, returned on the Santa Ana with boilers and machinery enough to double the former capacity of the mill. The old mill turned out about 15,OOO feet per day, which was found in- sufficient for the demand, SD with the new and improved machinery 1t Is expected to produce at least 3O,OOO feet of all kinds necessary for building purposes and when the opportunity presents itself drying rooms will be added to the plant
 The machinery is now being removed from the wharf to the mill and machinists will at once be put to work getting it in place and no labor or expense will he spared to make it a tirst-class plant. The old part of the mill IS cutting the lumber for the im- provements. but nothing will he cut for general use until the nev mill is in running order.

F. Ackles and three companions recently left the Forty-Mile district and came across country to Valdez. While coming down Copper river they came across pair of dogs that had evidently been caught in an overflow and were frozen into the ice of the river; the harness was on the animals but no trace of a sled could be found.

R. $. Bates, of Valdez in particu- lar and Alaska in general, 1sas re- eeived the appointment as U. S. marshal for the Nushagak district, m which c. H. Clegg is commis- sioner. The appointment of MT. Bates was a very wise one, as he is an old "sour dough" and up to all the wiles of the natives as we'll as the white men of Alaska.

STRONG GAS WE'LL
Came in at Davistown on Fri
day Evening.

Owned by Keystone Industrial Com.
Fany Two More Locations Made
Insures Glass Factory at Randall
and Many Other Industries.
News reached here this morning
OF a gas well which came in with
strong pressure seven miles from
Randall Friday on the Billy Furman
farm. 1t was drilled by the Key
stone Industrial Company OF Ran
dali, West Va. Drilling had to be
stopped to move back the boilers,
showing that the well is much
stronger than those in the Cassville
field where the pressure is not strong
enough to make this necessity
Van A. Barrickman, the attorney
for the Keystone Co went out today
to see the well. He was accolnpa-
MED by others interested in the
enterprise. He states that this en-
sures the erection of glass factory
at Randall right away. 1t will be
built on the Boyers or Yeager farm
Just south of the residence and near
to the railroad. The factory will
employ about $50 men, and will
manufacture bottles and pressed
ware. Some local capital is interest
ed in the glass factory, and great
deal of it come from out of the eoun-
ty.
The keystone Company was under
contract with the Glass Company to
furnish gas sufficient for their
factory, and had to be prepared to
do this before the factory would
come. Locations for two new wells
were made yesterday, one on the
Burwell farm and another near by,
and wells will be put down here at
once.
An eight inch pipe line will be
laid firm the wells in Greene county,
Pa, to Randall.
The Company has 1900 acres
under lease in the neighborhood of
Davistown Pa, where this well is
located The rock pressure of other
wells in the vicinity is said to be
about 600 pounds while that of the
wells drilled IN the Gassville field
was less than 300 bounds. Strong
gas pressure was struck in the Fur
man well yesterday at 1405 feet in
the Gordon Sand.
The promoters of the Keystone
Company predict roseate future
for the town of Randall and vicinity.

M..Duke, Mrs. Frazer, Miss TIT and
Miss John Especially Good.
The University Dramatic club scor-
ed decided success last night at
Swishers Theatre with their excellent
presentation OF Goldsmith's 'She
Stops to Conquer" A large audience
saw the play, and received 1t with
generous applause. There was not
dull moment during the whole per
Torrance. Not single hitch named
the performance.
There was CONSERVATION in the
Dramatic Club houses, all day yester-
day. The costumes for the play had
been ordered from Pittsburg, and at
the last minute, the firm sent word
that they could not furnish them.
Prof. Patterson made wild rush for
the long distance telephone. and got
into connection with q Baltimore firm.
They promised To send the costumes
Friday, when the noon train came
yesterday, with no costumes, there
was considerable CONSERVATION: when
the o'clock train arrived, and still
no costumes, there was panic. The
six o'clock train was the only chance
left. The club took this chance, and the
costumes came. To the credit OF
the Dlavers IT, ran he said that they
wore the costumes as though they lad
been brought up 10 them. The make
ups were excellent.
