PROMISING SECTION
United States Commissioner BOS qui Returns to Nome After
 an EventfuI Trip.

A pilgrim from the Colville country is E. L. Bosqui, United States commis sioner and recorder for the Colville district. which embraces portions of the second and third judicial divisions of Alaska. It is probable that Judge Bosqui is not 'stuck on the job," al- though he does not say so. He reached Nome last Sunday direct from Point Barrow.
 Mir. Bosqui left Nome on July l9, 1902, on the revenue cutter Bear, bound for Point Barrow. That place was not reached until a month later. He was to establish his headquarters on the Colville river, but on arriving at Point Barrow he could secure no native help, which he had depended on securing. Disease and death had taken one hun dred ar more natives to better and warmer cline.
 On Nov. 2l Mir. Bosqui started for the Colville. Dr. Marsh, the mission ary at Point Barrow, wished him to experiment with reindeer as beasts of burden, so Mr. Bosqui started out with 36 deer, P sleds and number of na- tive drivers and herders. For the most part the deer had not been broken to harness, and the trip was not pleasur- able one, with the thermometer 60 or so below for days. On the way to the Colville two deer were lost, but the river was reached and camp estab lished on Dec. "A. On their return trip the natives lost 26 deer, whicf they said died, but subsequent event. proved that the animals escaped iron their drivers. Some of them have since been shot by natives as they roamed the tundra in wild state.
 Mir. Bosqui, however, is convinced that reindeer as beasts of bnrden art preferable to dogs. But they must b, first broken and thereafter handled property. Putting an unbroken deel on the trail is attended with the sam, results that man would experience under similar circumstances, with al untamed bronco.
 The camp on the Colville establishes by MT. Bosqui is called Jarvis City It's population consists of Charle Graeber, who accompanied Mir. Bosqu north, Japanese and four natives Last winter provisions were scare among the natives; no fish could b found in the Colville, and game wa not plentiful.
 As mineral country, Mir. Bosqu says the Colville river is promising There is plenty of coal at Jarvis City 300 miles from the mouth of the Col vile river, and an abundance of vii lows. The coal ledge at that place extensive, and coal can be easily mine from it. No one going into that sec tion should have less than two or thre years supplies; then they may expec to accomplish something. The rive banks contain vast deposits of aurifel ous gravel, and the bars are filled wit black sand. Mir. Graeber who re mained at Jarvis City, is practice miner, and he is confident that gold i large quantities will be found in tn Colville country.
