MR. zIlIPF: BAN((UE:TED On Thursday Night at
 Royal Cafe TRIBUTE OF ESTEEM To a Worthy Man and an Enter. 7 pfising and Upright
 Citizen.
TRIBUTE OF ESTEEM

Thirty of the representative business men Of Nome on Thursday evening met at a dinner given at the Royal Cafe in honor of A. r. Xipf, late agent of the N. C. Co. in this city. It was a worthy tribute to young man who by his clean busincss and private record, made d host of friends during his stay in Nome as agent of one of the big commercial companies of Alaska.
 The speeches were many and to the point Judge Johnson was toastmaster and discharged his duties in an admir- able way. Covers were laid for 90 guests, and at S.30 they sat down to table. The menu provided by the management of the Royal was excellent in every way, and the clock had struck the hour of midnight before the guests separated
 Sreechmaking began when the health of Mr. Iipf was proposed, to which Capt. J. F. Hansen responded in a feel ing manner, paying a high tribute to the worth and excellence of Mr. Zipf. "He is the only man in the employment of the N. C. Co.,, said Capt. Hansen, "undcr whom | would work: he is an honest man and prince of good fellows" Mr. Xipf in few words feel ingly expressed his appreciation of tho many good friends he had in Nome, and he would never forget them. Then the guests sang For He's Jolly Good Fellow" after which James Wilson, formerly superintendent of the A. C. Co on the Yukon, spoke to the toast "The Old Regime" and called upon Dr. j.. Dennis Arnold who, be said would speak Of tho "New Regime." Dr. Arnold referred te the men who had made California, and the men who are making Aaska-the best blood of the nation, and he predicted a mighty future for this great territory. The seed was being planted and the results would be of far reaching importance.
 Geo. l.. Fish was introduced by the chairman as' enc who was comrade ever and who never met friend of whom he did not make comrade. Mr. Fish spoke of MT. Xipf as ''one of God S noblemon," to whom he would always be pleased to extend the hand of fellow ship.

Geo. ". Slater, tile Well Known Old Timer, Is In
 Town.

Geo. w. Slater, the well known Nome and Candle City mining man, is in Nome once more after spending d winter in the east. He arrived yester- day on the Oregon. Mir. Slater went outside last fall and spent portion Of his time at his old home in Columbus, Ohio. He is now en route to the Kotzebue sound country, where he will open up claims which he located in that section last year. As many Nome pco. pie will remember, MT. Slater left Nome in the latter part of October. 1901. in company with number oi other people. bound for Kee walik, with two tugs having a barge in tow. The barge was wrecked as were also the tugs and for many weeks it was not known what fate had overtaken the voyageurs. MT. slater was several times reported dead, but he turned ut smiling and robust as ever after spend. ing nearly year in the Kotzebue sound G untry He seems to have made good use of his time. for it was reported last fall that he had made some excel lent discoveries. some 40 or so miles from Candle City. In September last he went outside. Now he comes back well equipped to open up his claims MT. Slater will go north in few days and by he time that the season close. it may be reasonably expected that tho good reports heard from .he Kobul and Keewalik sections of the Kotzebue sound country will be fully verified.
 It is not known whether Kotzebut sound is yet free of ice, but severa
 steamers will make an attempt to ge, in to Keewalik within . few days.

ALASKA MINING NEWS.

It is reported that q good ledge con 'tainfng native copper in WTTte quart z has been discovered on the Lakina branch of the Chittyna river.
 An important enterprise recently commenced at Silver Bow Basin is the driving of tunnel over two miles long to strike at great depth the ore bodies now being developed. The tunnel will also be used for drainage of the mines and will be operated hy g separate com pany on lines similar to the Sutro tun- nel.
 The miners in the Panama district are protesting against the powers given under the power of attorney, which en- ables a representative to locate on be- half of large number of absentees. A memorial is being prepared, which will be sent to congress.
 A new tariff has been prepared by the White Horse St Yukon railroad. to go into effect during the sumner. The rates, generally speaking, will be lower than last year, although on hay and oats there will be q small increase. The company will attempt to control all shipments. against the all-water route by San Francisco, Puget sound and St. Michael.
 The prospect of quartz mining in Southeastern Alaska is said to be very bright. There is plenty of ore in sig ht, and several companies are operating there with good prospects of success. Not far from the rreadwell mines, in the vicinity of Windham bay, there are q number of properties that have ex- cellent prospects. Among these is that of the Sumdum Mining company, which operates a ten-stamp mill, and the Yel- low Jacket mine, on which machinery is now being installed.
 A number of Dawson merchants have united with the object of purchasing and operating Il diamond drill to test to great depth the numerous quartz veins in the vicinity of Dawson.
 More work, it is reported, is going On on Dominion creek, in the Klonkike, than at any other point. There has been great deal of activity on Sul- phur creek, though for two years pre-. viOus little or no work has been done during the winter. Very little is going on on Gold kun, while Hunker is fairly busy. Bonanza and Eldorado are being worked on about the same scale as usual. Many new streams are produc. ing dumps of low grade gravel.

gently with all legislation pertaining to Alaska for ten years to come.
 {. Senator Dillingham; is strong ad- mirer of the president. Speaking of politics and presidential candidates for the next election he says:
 ''It is Roosevelt all down the line. He has personality and an individu- ality that is remarkable. He has honesty and the courage of his convic- tiOns, and these have won him the deep regard of the people, for these are qualities that the mass of the nation must always admire.
 "The talk about trusts is not heard nearly as much in the East as it was a year ago. The people have acquiesced in the reasonableness of the legislation passed. This legislation has been big step in the direction of public desire, although not along spectacular lines."
 Senator Dillingham; had little to say regarding democratic troubles, remark ing only that the strength of sentiment against Cleveland displayed by the Southern senators at Washington is re- markable. It has been said that Cleve- land is greater than his party and the party seems to think that this is q debatable point.

To Understand Nome
 Grand Jury's Action
REPORT CRITICISED
Department Will Await the Fqii Report Before Any
 Action is Taken.

Washington, D. C.. June 30.-The officials of the department of justice have not yet been informed of tho action of the grand jury at Nome, Alas ka, in condemning Marshal, Richards and District Attorney Grigsby, and the suspension of Acting District Attorney George Grigsby by Judge Moore. The officials also are at a loss to understand why the grand jury should take cogniz- ance of the matters treated of in the re- port, but they will await full report before expressing an opinion.
 Some of the matters treated in the grand jury report are already known of in Washington.
 Charges were filed against Marshal Richards months ago and investigated at the time, but neither the attorney general nor the president has taken any action. It has been reported sev- eral times that Richards was to be re- moved, but no official confirmation was given out at the department, and SO far as can be learned today no such action is contemplated.
 The attorney-genera's attention was also called last winter to District At torney Grlgsby's absence from Nome for the entire winter, but no formal charges were made. It is. probable that some official of the department will be asked to make an investigation of conditions at Nome and such action will be taken as appears necessary.

Senatorial Committee
 Now in Alaska
IMPORTANT KHSSi0N
Resources and Legislative Needs
 Will be Thoroughly Studied On tine Ground.

Seattle June 26. United States Sen ators Dillingham;, of Vermont, and Burnham, of New Hampshire, arrived in Seattle last night and will be joined today by Senators Patterson, of Colo rado, and Nelson, of Minnesota. the four forming q subcommittee of the com mittCc on territories, on visit of in- vestigaton to Alaska. This sub.com- mittec will be accompanied by two off cials from Washington, and the party will sail for Alaska on the Dolphin Sunday night. The members are at the Washington hotel.
 The purpose of the visit was stated by Senator Dillingham; in an interview last evening. In his last message to congress the president drew attention to the need of q revision of the laws of Alaska, pointing out that. as it is ruled under territorial form of government, it's progress in legislation has not kept pace with its development in material riches and it's growth of population.
 In his message the president also in dicated the deSirability of thorough study of the agricult ural, mineral and fishery resources of the Alaskan penin- sula. In consequence the senate passed a resolution that the committee on territories consider the important mat ter, and Senator Beveridge. of Indiana, the chairman, appointed the four sena- tors named q subcommittee to sit dur ing recess, and although the members could ill spare the necessary time they decided on this journey as the most satisfactory way of accomplishing their object.
 The committee of senators has an itinerary marked out that will consume about fifty days. They will enter A Alas- ka by way of SkagWay and White Horse, will proceed down the Yukon after making a thorough study of con ditions in the klondilc, natural re- sources, industrial possibilities and legislative needs. They will probably make their headquarters at Dawson for time and will devote special atten- tion to the agricultural possibilities of the interior. The party will proceed slowly to St. Michael, where it will be met by the revenue cutter McCulloch, and conveyed to Nome and will then return by way of Unalaska, Sitka and the south coast to seattle.
 "The president" said Senator Dill ingham, lis very firmly impressed with the belief that enough experiments have been tried to demonstrate con clusively that successful agriculture is possible in the interior of Alaska, and that it is possible to get desirable class Of permanent citizens to take it up there, and he is very Gesrous of having these lands and the resources of the territory thoroughly investigated and reported on officially, so that good citi- zens may be induced to take advantage of them"
 The committee expects to be able to make an investigation that will be pro ductive of sufficient information to en- able congress to meet and deal intelli-
