Coached the Kid.

Misther Dooley and Davison be- ing friendly disposed toward the Story and a Half Kid, left their work on Miller gulch and went down the creek to coach the Kid for his contest with Eat-em-up Johnson. There were no gloves in camp and to meet the emergency a set was made out of a canvas flour sack, stuffed with oakum, magnetic sand or other similar substance. Arriving at the Kids headquarters Davison put On the gloves to see if the Kid knew anything about the business. In about half minute George could see nothing. Doeley then took his place for another half minute. For a week after some one else had to take Dooley's place at the sluice boxes as he was slightly indisposed. We have learned since that Dooley's face is getting back to its natural shape and his teeth are setting firm.

Machinery for Ynkon.

The evolution of the Klondike. Atlin, Rampant and other big min ing districts throughout the Yukon basin in the manner of working placer grounds has reached not able epoch this summer. The in- troduction of heavy mechanical equipment was .experimented with the last year W two. This year the stage of experiment is past.
 From one end of the vast Yukon basin to the other, hydraulic equip ment is being introduced this year, and in many places steam shovels are in use. The use of boilers is continued to a great extent. and a marked increase is made in the size of boilers used in every district. Millions of dollars are spent in the YnkOn this summer for this heavy equipment.

PROsPEcTOR-Iu understood the or iginal announcement of the ap- pointment of MT. Ryan to be that he was selected to represent the government aud supervise the ex- hibits of Alaska and Indian terri tory. Now it may prove to be this and nothing more, notwithstanding the howl Those in Washington are not such blithering idiots as to expect Ryan to pose as an Alaskan.
 It has been suggested that Ryan resign. The Roosevelt administra- tiOn has not done much crawfish- ing.

A Dream1et.

MIR. PROsPECToR.-The little dis cussion as to territory has bothered me somewhat. Have thought over it much. The other night l had a dream.
 It seemed that two territories were made by congress. Of course the southeastern was called the Territory of Alaska, and this sec- tion named the Territory of Tacoma. Quite a pretty cognomen. This latter territory was divided into five counties, but their names are not so pretty. Hendersteine coun- ty extended from Cape Hinchin- brook to the Yukon west of the Cop per river. East of the Copper riv- CT from the sea to Yukon was Hot Air county. Kellsee county joined Hendersteine on the west. The county of Rockyford was wester- most and took in the coast of Der ing sea. The county of Fisher man included the peninsula and the islands to the southwest.
 An election had been held, and while less than a thousand votes were cast it took two months to get in the returns.
 The Standard oil company, the canneries, smelters and railroads had combined and were running the officials and the "home govern ment,,n whose acts were all directed from Wall street. Never before had corporations such a delightful picnic. Most all the gentlemen in office had been imported especially.
 Tine corporations were making big money. The pioneer merchants and miners were taxed fearfully and had no remedy.
 But then it was all a dream. VISIONARY.

The Bowling Cluh.

The first contest between the Olympic and Valdez bowling clubs was held Monday evening. Three games were played and the Valdez club won two of them, although the Olympic scored the most points. Wednesday evening the second series of games was played before an enthusiastic audience. The ladies were present in force, and showed their preferences very de- cidedly in their applause. The Valdez club again won two games. Following are the scores:

'AR[ Af1[R H[Ll1 OFFICERS OF ALASKA COPPER A||eye Fraudulent ja|e Of Mining Stock. Ralph Talks of
 V. C. R. & Y. Rail-
 road.

James Fl. Ralph, president of the Alaska copper company has started proceedings against F. c. Helm and F. NJ. Bradshaw, for selling stock in the Copper River mining company which they claimed owned the Bonanza group of mines on the ,Chittyna river.
 MT. Ralph, in an interview in Wlkesbanre, Pa., paper, says that the Alaska copper company has title to the Bonanza group, and that as soon as he can locate Helm, will have him arrested for fraud.
 Speaking of Helm and the rail road work, he says:
 "F. c. Helm was also interested in a corporation called the Valdez, Copper River and Yukon Railroad company, which he alleges was to be constructed from Valdez to the Yukon river. Mr. Gillette, division superintendent and general super intendent Holdridge, of the Bur lington Railroad company, had ac- quired certain rights in Alaska and contemplated the construction of a railroad to be called the Burlington, Akron and Northern. Mir. Helm secured an option on the rights, agreeing to do certain work in order to abide by an agreement.
 "He failed. however, in this, and Mir. Gillette informed my attorney on Jan. 12 that Helm lost all the rights and in order to preserve the rights Gillette had secured the pas sage of bill through congress. He assured me that niether Helm nor his company had any rights at the present time.
 q have since," continued MT. Ralph, "had a talk with James Me- Donald, one of the la rgest contract ors in the country, and he verified the statements of the others that the Burlington and Akron railroad had the only rights, and the Val deg, Copper River and Yukon rail- road have no rights whatever" I Following is the bill spoken of by Gillette:
 RESOLVED, by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in con- gress assembled, That the time within which the Akron, Sterling and Northern Railroad Company is authorized to construct its line of railroad from the head of Valdez Bay, in the territory of Alaska; thence extending up Lowe river twelve miles to Keystone canyon; thence for distance through said canyon, on the west side thereof; thence through Dutch Valley dis tance of four miles; thence, thirteen miles along the benches on the west side of Lowe river drainage, through Thompson Pass as defn- itely located by said company, be, and the same is hereby, extended for two years from and after the passage of this resolution.

DEATH Of SHALL FIRST MATE OF THE EXCEL
 SIOR Tossed By Wild 5teer
And Is Instantly Killed. Buried Today With Masonic
 Honors.

On Tuesday morning everything else having been discharged from the Excelsior preparatory to her departure for the west, the crew centered their attention on the land- ing of a wicked steer; one of a herd consigned to Hielscher & Co. After a little trouble below decks they succeeded in putting him into the box-swing to the wharf. Before opening the box a stout line was fastened to his horns and the other end to one of the piles, giving the steer about 15 feet of free rope. The box was opened and the steer rushed out and made desperate but intellectual lunges at everyone near The length of the rope allowed the steer to just reach the edge of the gangplank, and Augustus D. Small, first mate of the steamer, fearing the danger that threatened women going up and down the gangway undertook to shorten the rope by giving it another turn around the pile. Taking an opportunity when the steer was farthest from the gang way Small went to the rope at the Ipile but it was too taut; he waited Iior slack and while waiting the steer charged on him. He ran to get away and just reached the plank when the steer caught him on his horns and tossed him about ten feet in the air. He came down between the boat and the wharf, his head striking the boat in the descent. He was evidently dead when he struck the water, as the body laid prostrate on the surface. It was immediately recovered and doctors quickly at hand, but they were of no avail and pronounced him dead.
 Upon examination it was found that lis right arm, neck and ribs were broken, and his skull crushed in.
 The remains were transferred to the wharf and prepared for burial and from there taken to the Epis- eopal church under charge of the Masonic Club of Valdez. Small being a member of that order.
 Thursday afternoon interment in the local cemetery was conducted with Masonic honors.
 Augustus D. Small, aged 52 years and unmarried, was native of Millbridge, Hancock county, Maine He has been in the service of the service of the Whaling Co. and the P. P. X N. Co. for the past eight years. The last three years he has been under Capt. Franz Moore.
 He was member of Harbor 16 of the Masters and Pilots of Seattle, and carried insurance with the New York life company
