VALENTINE FAINT

Our readers will remember that last
weeks Star contained a mere mention
of the death Of Mr.. Valentine FAINT. at
his home in the northwestern portion
Of Marion county. where he had resid-
ed for fifty three years. coming to Flor
ida from Anderson. S. c. He was a
patriotic man and served his country
faithfully and bravely with Company
G Of the 9th Florida regiment. under
command Of Captain Robert D. Harri-
son Of Leesburg and Matthew l. Arm
strong OF BlitchtOn. and a cOmrade in
arms with ex-Sheriff Ed Williams. At
the age Of nineteen ne joined the Bap-
fist church. of which he ever remained
Der for years of the Pleasant Hills Bap-
fist church. near his home. and his re-
mains were inferred in the cemetery
belonging to that church.
Mr.. FAINT was not only a brave SOL
der but Il splendid citizen. kind neigh
Dor. and a tender and loving husband
and father. He leaves a wife and seven
children and a large circle of friends
to mourn his death. The children are
J. w. FAINT Of MOrriston. Douglass FAINT
Of Pennington. II. Il. and J. S. FAINT Of
Anderson. s. c.. Mrs. John l.. Davis of
Irvine. Mrs. Archie McIver OF Bitch
ton and Rose FAINT Of Fantville.
Mr.. Fant's death was quite sudden
the cause being congestion of the kid
neys. He was 3 years of age.
In the passing away Of this highly
respected and esteemed man the FAINT
Vile section Of which he was the pio-
neer settler. loses its oldest citizen. and
one who will be missed from the COM
munity in which he stood as the repre-
sentative of noble manhood. Time
moves on and the Reaper gathers his
sheaves Of humanity. When we saw
Mr.. FAINT ut the late Confederate re-
union in Ocala he looked WELL and lit
tie did we then think that in a short
month We would record his demise.

 NJ. Sharp, John Morello and B. Fay leave here tomorrow for Sumdum, where they will spend the winter driv- ing tunnel on their property on the east side of Endicott Arm.
 J.P. Bartells moved up to the 3rd basin this week. He has commenced driving an open cut 30 feet long and 5 feet deep from the top of the falls to the lower end of the third basin bar. There is about four acres of placer ground in this bar with an average depth of four feet of gravel, which prospects 75 cents to the yard.
 Some of the prospectors here are preparing to take a trip over the divide east of Windham Bay next sum- mer and prospect for placer ground between here and the head waters of the Stikeen river. As far as can be learned, no white man has ever been through the country direct east from here, and as it is in the gold belt the chances are there is some rich placer in the streams on the east side of the Coast range. Some will go by the way of Ford's Terror on the east side of Endicott Arm, and others will try the Port Houghton route.

Holds Consultation.

A late dispatch from Washington, D. C., states that D. A. Mckenzie, United States commissioner at Coldfoot, on the Koyukuk river, Alaska, had an inter- view with the president recently. The postotfice at Coldfoot is cue of the most northern stations of the United States. The postmaster is woman. She re- ceives and sends out the mail each year.
 Commissioner Mckenzie is in Wash
 ington to urge on the authorities the necessity of improving the transporta- tion facilitations of Alaska. A road, he suggests, should be constructed from the Yukon river to the Coldfoot region and reindeer station be established in the northern part of the territory, where reindeer may be bred both for food aud for the carrying of burdens.
 Mir. Mckenzie says it is impossible now to obtain fresh meat in Coldfoot, except that of wild animals killed in the vicinity, and that is scarce. Pro- visions of all kinds are high on account of the practical impossibility of the trail; it costs S4oO ton to transport provisions from Seattle to Coldfoot. Commissioner Mckenzie called the presidents attention to the urgent need that the colony of Americans located at Coldfoot be given reasonable trans portation facilities by the government.
