ing that he be appointed County Physi-
clan at the expiration of the present
term of the incumbent, DR.. w. f. Bur-
nett, which expires the first Monday in
July.
During a discussion of the Doctors
petition by the Board, it developed that
the said petition was signed during last
Fall at the request of DIR. Gordon. who
intended presenting it to the Board at
the meeting in December last with an
application for the position.
Judge Peter Breen appeared before
the Board and stated that he had re-
ceived a letter and telegram from Bel
mont. the county seat Of Nye County.
stating that the smallpox was quite prev.
alent in Belmont and Tonopah, and he
thought some action might be taken by
the Board preventing people, parti-
cularly Indians, from that section com
ing into Eureka.
The Board decided to wait a few
days, and if there appeared any danger
from cntagion, an order would be
passed quarantining the towns of Eu-
reka and Ruby Hill.
D. W. Downey. who is building the
Jail at Beowawe and putting in a new
covering on the bridge across the Hum
boldt river at that place, sent a letter to
the Board stating that the cells for the
Jail had been received from the East
and were according to contract and
satisfactory.
The new covering on the Beowawe
bridge was made necessary on account
of the old lumber shrinking to such
an extent that the large spaces be-
tween the planks made it unsafe to
cross sheep over the structure. 1t was
also deemed advisable to lay the new
flooring over the old one, thereby pre-
serving the latter.
Twenty-eight hundred feet of the
lumber used in repairing the bridge was
ordered by O. H. Duborg and cost s57.
This amount is included in the $158
allowed Mr.. Duborg on Monday by
the Board, the other SOL being for
lumber, shingles, windows, etc., for the
Beowawe Jail.
1t was expected that the Beowawe
Jail and the work IN the bridg e would
ha comnlated ear1y this week.

A Marrow Escape.

George l.. Clark and wife came to grief on the Shu-hetna and lost all thrir belongings by the upset ting of their boat. which they were hauling up stream. When the boat upset Mrs. Clark was the only occupant and was steering while the men on shore were towing it. Finding herself in the water Mrs. Clark desperately grabbed tie first thing to hand which proved to be the under side of the upturned boat. Her hand appeared on the side showing her location, though at first it was supposed she was lost. One of the men seeing her hand, jumped on to the bottom of the boat, reached under and caught the almost unconscious woman by the hair and dragged her out to a place of safety with the loss of considerable of her hair. On the bank of the st ream 80 miles from its mouth they found themselves stranded with not a particle of their outfit left but the clothes they wore. There was nothing they could do but return which they did and are now on their way back to Seattle on board the Ex-

On June 10th T. c. Isitt, a musher oi lengthy experience in Alaska, left Chicken creek in the Forty-Milc country for @ trip across to Valdez to size up the country on his way. He took with him pack mule and reached here last Sunday, taking 2S days for the trip. He reports a great scarcity of water all through the interior country owing to the scant snowfall last winter, which will materially lessen the gold output for this .ycan. His route day across country to T;rnana crossing and thence over the military trail aoross Mentasta pass and down the Copper river and out to Valdez. He considers this route by far the cheapest and best way of going to and from the coast to the interior of Alaska.
 A numberof prospectors were m t along the trail and some very promising country was passed through especially on the Tokio where, it is MT. lsitt's opinion, it would pay d number of men to put in a season at prospecting as it is undoubtedly a heavily mincralized country.

Pack Train Returns.

On Saturday last Ed. Wood re- turned to town with his 30 head of pack horses after very successful trip to the Hubbard X Elliott mines on Elliott creek in the kot- sina country. Everything needed for this years workings on the property and the comfort of the men was landed safely. On the first trip in the diamond drills were landed in place and work was immediately begun to put them in working position ss that by the time the second pack train arrived at the mines everything was in full working order and cores cf rock were being taken out at many points. From an examina- tion of the cores the ore improves with depth though it is vry riche on the surface. The diamond drill is also revealing the fact that the Hedges are very much larger than was previously supposed. Charley Hubbard, who is this year man. aging the property, is highly -elated though. saying nothing.

Sunday school Excufsios:.

The several Sunday Schools o1 the town united in securing tn, services of the steamer Dora for a grand excursion 10 the ,Uoiumbia glacier. Tuesday, guly 18th, was set for the occasion and at $ o'clock in the morning happy parties ol men, women and children, espec. tally children, began to gather on the boat with their baskets ol pickles, cookies and candies to munci, on between meals. By 9:3C all was ready and away they started with flags flying from :all points. About Valdez bay i, threatened rain but on reaching the Sound they steamed into clea: weather and ran along the coas, pleasantly to and into Glacier bay and up to within a short distance of the glacier where they stopped for a time to enjoy the novel sight of icebergs breaking off and floating out to meet them. From the gla- cier they steamed across Prince William sound to Ellamar where they visited the mine and town and then started for home where they arrived about 9 p. m. fully satisfied with their days sight seeing. Rev. Taylor represented the Episcopal Sunday school. Rev. Brunette the Congregational and Mrs. Hubbard and Mrs. Miller the Catholic, and the united Sunday School excursion was a complete success.

NATIONAL 6A1[
 AS PLAYED IN VALDEZ A VIVID p|(TUR[
By Our Artist on the Spot

One of the most interesting of the many events participated in of late, in the Alaskan metropolis, was tho contest on the diamond, on last Sunday afternoon, between the choice nine of the recent mili- tary contingent at Fort Liscum and the athletic social nine of the Gate City.
 The grounds were all that could be desired, having been prepared by a special landscaper. The bas- les were embroidered in artistic fashion by the dainty figures of the admiring fair sex, and even the bats and balls were embossed with crest of the local nine. The grandstand was festooned with the flora and fauna of the sur rounding hills, and the thespian band added to the occasion with it's most dulcet strains.
 Eclat was lent to the occasion by the galaxy of beauty occupying the stalls. The dear things dis cusscd sweet nothings with their gallant escorts, and encouraged their favorites with enthusiastic feminine roo ings, So dear 10 the players. The echoes of the applause tha: greeted special effort rcver- berated from the adjacent moun- tains like the murmuring resonance of some mighty cataract, and the local nine merited much of the spontaneous applause.
 To the thousands of citizens of the surrounding villages, who wit messed the contest, it will be red letter day in their recollections
 The local nine obliterated all traditions in regard to costumes, each individual adopting his'en ac- cording to personal prc!ilcction, creating a medley oi apparel ianias- tic if not classic.
 The soldier boys were rather mono.onous m comparison, with their kahki ana blue.
 The score gives 'lut n ;fhint im- pression of the srcnuousity of the game. The twirling was intricate and the batting terrific. Holes were bored iu theValdez fog of sufficient dimentions as to make it possible i to see the sun, for the first time in thirty days. The score stood, at an Alaskan summer sundown, 13 to 1 in favor of Fort Liscum, and it is to be hoped that another field day will set at rest the superiority of the contestants.
 As on all occasions, in Valdez, our new guests were cordially re- ceived, and fnerited much by their courteous and gentlemanly bear ing.
 Come again boys and do it again.
