BEST OF DRUMS MADE HERE.
AneRieaA Manufacturers Furnish . Superior Article for the
 Worlds APmies.

Americans being the greatest drummers in the world. it is entirely consistent that they should be the best drummakers. Both in Chicago and St. Louis there are large fac tories, but in these all kinds of drums are made. most of which are of the cheap variety and low in price. There are only three fac tories in the United States which make the kind of instruments manu. factured in this city. says the Chi cago Chronicle. These drums are distinct from the others in that they have a sharpness in tone required only in orchestra and band work. The drums that are used in corps and in military work must have a tone which is duller and the drum must not be SO sensitive to the touch.
 Drum-making is a curious industry and as complicated as it is curious, for the drum has many parts. A drum of the best construction has PAS pieces. not including sticks. hooks and belts. All materials must be of the best quality, for the things from which a drum is constructed are what give it it's tone. and as the drum is subjected to rough usage it must be strong enough to stand the strain.

An old channel has been loc ated on the left limit of Cleary creek, containing good pay. As high as $4 to the bucket was found. The pay is deep, one shaft being down fifty odd feet.
 They are having trouble at Fair banks with thieves. Several cases have been reported where cabins and caches have been robbed.
 -Chenoa had narrow escape from being wiped out by fire in Febru ary The warm storage warehouse of Hendrick X Belt caught fire and only for the hard work of a bucket brigade the result would have been disastrous. The loss was about $1, ,OOO.
 A volunteer fire department has been formed at Fairbanks. Considerable work is being done on Goldstream. The best pay is on 3, 4, 5 and 8, whore good dumps are out.
 A girl was born at Fairbanks on February l7th to MT. and Mrs. Joe Roberts.
 Fairbanks now has telegraphic communication with the outside. The wireless system is being used considerably, owing to the trouble keeping wires up.

WASHINGTON. D. C., Feb. %, 'C4.
 Editor VALDEZ PRospEcroR:-My attention has just been called to an article in the columns of your contemporary. (the name of which have forgotten,) condemning the memorial 1 had introduced in con- gress praying for the suspension of the statutory assessment work on mining claims in Alaska for the years of 19O4-5.
 If the editor of that paper had read the bill referred to he would have found that it not only pre- vented the acquisition of large bod ies of land by syndicates who did not intend to develop the property, but furnished the basis for an ap- peal for a government wagon road from Valdez, namely, the great cost of transporting supplies to the in terior, and the consequent inability of the miners to develop their prop critics. In proof of this I would ask how many copper and other claims have been developed in the interior during the past few years?
 In other words I would ask the writer the question-If miners who have gone there in the past and To- cated claims, find it no hardship to do the annual assessment work, which at the present time is of no value to the property, why do they want a government wagon road?
 In drawing that bill 1 expressly provided that it would only apply to claims lawfully acquired prior to Dec. 31, 1903, and not to entries made after its suspension features had been made known. My object was to afford deserved relief to actual miners who could not devel- op their properties in the absence of transportation facilities. Its passage of course will preventprofes- sional claim jumpers from follow ing their usual occupation, thereby deprive the "oldest inhabitant" of a popular means of securing lit- tie ready money, but it would have afforded the actual miners of the country a relief to which they are entitled. So far as the charge of being interested in some scheme to gobble up the land is concerned, l will say that l do not own a foot of land in the country, or dollars worth of stock in any company or ganized for that purpose, my sole interest in Alaska being in the North American Telegraph x Cable Co.,, which proposes to place Val deg in connection with the oriental world by way of Dutch Harbor, the capital for which, amounting to 6, 5,OOO,OOO, l have procured from men who have "never been in Alaska"
 In referring to tho statement that 1 have never been in Alaska, will say that l was there thirty years ago, and probably know as much about it as the gentleman who presumes to speak for it in this particular instance.
 Respectfully, J. T. FLYNN.

RAT VERSUS SNAKE.
Rodent That Objected te rOeming . PosttOn of . Roa Constrietos's
 Dinner.

The leading animal dealer of Wash ington, D. C., has for some time past been in the habit of feeding his boa constructors, bull snakes and black snakes on white rats. rabbits and guinea pigs-snimals that multiply so rapidly that this is the only means he has of disposing of those he can not sell. As rule these animals are very cowardly and no match for the reptiles. but occasionally a rat will prove almost a match for his tor mentors and make things SO inter- esting that for time it will appear doubtful whether the snakes will make meal of the rat or whether the rat will make hash meat of the reptiles.
 It is only on very rare occasions that such thing occurs, the general run of albino rats being cowarlly and weak in the extreme. One day late ly the dealer in question. in feeding his ophidians. gave the black snakes n guinea rig and white rat as their share of the rations and they los, no time in falling to with a relish The guinea pig was disposed of in short order, but the rat did not pro pose to be downed SO easily. He pitched into the snakes with such vigor. says the Washington Post. that the dealer was obliged to remove him from the cage before he killed one of the reptiles, as he was evidently bent on doing.

It is enough to-make an Alaskan shudder to read that at St. Paul the temperature this winter reach- ed 36 degrees below zero, while here in Valdez it scarcely eyer gets below zero.

|. N. Yarnad0 Killed
Near 0syka

l. N. varnado, one of the best known
merchants of Osyka and a man of
wealth and standing in the community,
was foully murdered by unknown par
ties last Monday night between and
O'Clock. in n lonely spot on the Kent
wood road, about mile aud half from
Osyka.
The assassins, judging from the ns-
ture of the wounds, used double-barrel
shotguns and the victim in all proba-
Dility died instantly.
Mr.. Varnado had been to Kentwood,
several miles from Osyka, to transact
sOme business III connection with his
firm. and wa. ON his homeward Journey
when waylaid and killed. The motive
Of the crime was not robbery. MS neither
the watch nor money or other valuabl -
on the person of the dead man had been
touched, and from this fact it is inferred
that the gentleman was murdered to
crafty some vengence.
= Mr.. Varnado formerly lived in Frank
linton. He was an uncle of attorney
NJ. I. Varnado and brother of Mrs. :.
II. Bulloch, of Coyington, aud was
we'll known throughout St. Tammauy
and Washington parishes.
