Pete Cashman returned on the Santa Ana from an extended trip to Yaka- taga, the beach diggings near Yakutat. He says there are about 800 men there now, though they are getting out as fast as possible. The diggings don't amount to much, though there is occa- sionally piece of pay ground, but Pete says when rich streak is un- earthed the men crowd on 1t in swarms and it doesn't last long. Of course it is beach diggings and cannot be staked out as mining claims. Each man is entitled to only just what he works. A few men could undoubtedly make a grubstake there, but none of those there now are making any money
 None of the claims on White river, which was reported so fabulously rich when the strike was made there two years ago, are being worked this year.
 Pete says only one claim on the creek has any promise ofcontaining pay, but for some reason the owners of this are doing nothing. Pete will start for Slate creek in a few days.--Valdez News

Speaking of Women.

One of the most interesting club women connected with the Worlds Fair at St. Louis this summer is Mrs. Mary E. Hart, of Alaska, who has charge of the Alaska Building. Alaska has now several clubs belonging to the General Federation of Woman's Clubs, although it cannot send large delegation tothe Biennials. At recent Biennial at St. Louis, however, Mrs. Hart was an honored delegate, representing the he- goayah Kozga of Nome, which, trans lated, means not "Woman's Club" but "The Meeting of the Lights" Mrs. Hart was the first president of this club which has about fifty members and is literary organization. The membership comes from every part of the English. speaking world and consti- tuses the social leadership of Nome. The club owns its house, without en- cumbrance. The founder, Mrs. Scroggs, died last year. Miss J. N. Todman is now the president. Miss Sullivan, an- other member, visited the United States last winter, and is the first woman notary public in Alaska, having received her appointment from the Governor some time last year. Mrs. Hart, however, is officially known as "Lady Manager of the Alaskan Ex- hibit," also a gubernatorial appoint ment. She has been hard at work for a year or two, organizing the fine ex- hibit from Alaska, which includes the schools, women's work, Alaskan pho- tographs and art, flower culture, etc.
 Mrs. Hart was California newspaper woman, having been connected with the Los Angeles Herald and some of the Western magazines. She went to AL aska as correspondent for various journ- als and became interested in mining, which resulted profitably, so that now she is quite independent. She is sec. retary of the Alaska Academy of Sci ences and member of the Pacific Coast Women's Press Association. The club movement in Alaska owes great deal to her enthusiasm and experience.
 She was at one time editor of The Pacific Monthly and was in charge of California State Historical Exhibit at the Chicago Worlds Fair-The Define ator.

The prospect is that the government will not have reason to regret the es- tablishment of reindeer farms in Alas ka. The capacity of the reindeer for teamwork is remarkable. His hoofs are very broad and do notpenetrate the snow crusts. His average weight is about 400 pounds. He will swiftly draw a sled carrying GOO pounds, and with this load can cover 30, 50 and even 90 miles day. The reindeer teams now carry the mails from Kotzebue to Point Barrow, a distance of 650 miles-the most northerly post route in the world. No food is carried for the deer. At the end of his journey or at any stop ping place, he is turned loose and at once breaks through the snow to the white moss which serves as food. 1t costs nothing to feed him. As the white settlements increase in the min eral- bearing parts of Alaska and in many places remote from railway and steamboat transportation the reindeer express will be one of the most import ant factors in territorial life.-Ex.

HIS vERACITY WAS ADMIRABLE.

Once a number of kindred spirits were enjoying supper in the land of Burns. When the cloth was removed and the usual toasts were proposed someone suggested song. The efforts of the first Scotchman met with such hearty reception that others were in- duced to follow his example.
 In the end it was found that every one had contributed to the evenings entertainment but the medical gentle man who occupied the vice chair.
 "Come, come, Mir. Macdonald" said the chairman, "we cannot let you es- cape"
 The doctor protested that he could not sing.
 "As matter of fact" he explained, "my voice is altogether unmusical, and resembles the sound caused by the act of rubbing brick along the panels of door,"
 The company attributed this to the doctors modesty. Good singers, he was reminded, always needed lot ofpress- ing.
 "very well," said the doctor, Eff you can stand it, 1 will sing"
 "Long before he had finished his audience was uneasy. The unwilling singer had faithfully described his voice.
 There was painful silence as the doctor sat down, broken at length by the voice of a braw Scot at the end of the table.
 "Mon,,' he exclaimed, your singin's no up to much, but your veracity's just awful. Ye're richt aboot that brick"
