 tiOn Eskimo CuriOs

The finest and most complete eollec- ton of Indian curios ever brought by one individual from the North was brought down by c. c. Runner, of this city, on his recent trip. The collec- ton is now displayed at the Fifth Ave enue hotel and is attracting much at- tention.

 Mir. Runner went to great pains to gather the collection, and purchased nearly all the curios on Seward penin- sula.

Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan,l
 Whitehorse, Oct. l5.-There will be no more boats of the river division Of the White Pass & Yukon to sail for Dawson from this place this year. That much was made certain by the re- cent drop in the temperature all along the Yukon. It has now ceased to be question of getting more boats to Daw- son, and has become one getting those that are now down the river back to Whitehorse and winter quarters before the final freeze up. Much doubt is freely expressed as to whether or not this can be. done. It is even feared that the Victorian, which sailed Tues day, will not reach Dawson.
 The river dropped three inches at this place yesterday and last night, and it is lower now than it was on the lst

NEW ROUTE
Mail to Tanana by Shorter
 Way

A Washington City dispatch of re- cent date says:
 The postoaice department today awarded a contract for carrying mail from Valdez to Panama during the win ter which will save ten days ID time of transportation of mail from Seattle to the new discoveries. The route is from Valdez via the mouth of the Chisto- cinema river, the Chisna river mouth to the Delta river, and from Fairbanks and Cinema to Panama, 62O miles.
 The successful bidder was Jas. Fish, of Valdez, who has $500 a trip for ten semi monthly trips between December and April 30 next. Preference is to be given letter mail, with single wrap per newspapers next, but no merchan- disc will be carried. The present route to the Panama is from Valdez, Eagle and Circle, and by way of Skagway, Dawson, Eagle and Circle. The latter route via Skagway will be continued, though through mail from the states will probably be sent by way of the new route.
 A special agent of the department who examined the route reported 1t feasible, and because at shortened the time decided to send the mail that way.

The Thermometer Does Acrobatic
Stunts During Past Month.

The thermometer performed some
acrobatic stunts during the month of
February, and several times during
the twenty-eight days the mercury in
the little glass tube dropped from a
place near the center to the bottom
of the bulb. The first half of the
month was very mild for this season
of the year, with the exception of
and sixth, when the temperature reg
istered between four and five degrees
above zero. Beginning with the If
teenth day, however, it was cold and
On February Is the temperature drop
ped from a maximum of twenty-five
degrees to a minimum Of six above
zero. On the sixteenth it went from
twelve above to six below; on the sey.
~enteenth from twelve above to nine
below, warming up the next day only
to drop again to nine. below in the
evening. A drop of thfrty=four degrees
in the temperature was recorded on
February 20, when the thermometer
registered ~thirty-eight degrees in the
morning and had dropped to four above
before night. The closing eight days
were visited by warmer weather, how.
ever, and the month went out as ii
came in.
One Foot of Snow.
One foot of snow fell during the
month of February, eight inches OF
which fell during the first week. The

cloudy and clear days.

work is also being talked about a
great deal among some of the delegates
in the convention, Many of them want
the night engineers, f1remen and
pumpmen put upon an eight hour ba-
sis and paid overtime when they are
required to work longer. However,
| the matter will no doubt meet with
considerable opposition on the part of
the operators, if preached in the scale
committee, although nothing serious
is anticipated as a result of it.
Another question which was brought
up last year and will be agitated again
this spring is that regarding the team
sters working around the mines at the
top. These men, or many of them, do
not belong to the miners union, al
though the latter's constitution pro-
vides for their joining, No scale is
quoted for such men, and they are
paid differently at different mines.
One reason given for this discrepancy,
and one which is hard to combat, is
that the men use the companies teams
and work under different conditions
at almost all the different mines.
Cost of Shot Firing.
The question of shot firing will no
doubt be brought up again this year, as
some of the miners in the second or
Ottumwa field object to the present
plan, whereby the miners pay the shot
irers and shot examiners at the vari-
Gus mines. In this connection also
the matter of who should furnish the
tamping for the shots, company or
miner, has arisen for discussion. A
resolution referred by the resolution
committee and convention to the scale
committee brings out these matters,
and it is very probable they will be
taken before the joint scale committee
of miners and operators.
Byrne Addresses convention.
]. F. Byrne of Ottumwa addressed
the convention regarding the Mine
Managers and Assistants Mutual Aid
association, an organization composed
.of mine Sforemen and assistants, and
asked the cooperation of the miners
in his efforts to effect the organization
of these men in Iowa. The delegates
furnished a list of the foremen in the
various mines in the state, thus tao
lilly approving of the new organization,
which is affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor.
