Congratulations.

Mr.. John H. Cullom, Editor of the
Garland, Texas, News, has written a
letter of congratulations to the manu-
facturers of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy as follows: Sixteen years ago
when our first child was baby he was
subject to croupy spells and We would
be very uneasy about him. We began
using Chamberlain's Cough Remedy in
1887, and finding it such reliable rem
edy for colds and Group, we have never
been without it in the house since that
time. We have five children and have
given it toall of them with good results.
One good feature of this remedy is that
it is not disagreeabie to take and our
babies really like it. Another is that
it is not dangerous, and there is no risk
Iau late you s upon at the success OF your rem
edy." For sale by Smith Drug Co.,

Awitness before the senate committee

A witness DeIore Cne SeuaIe CouhiIIee on territories recently made the state ment, with great elocutionary effect, that the federal judges and commis- sioners in Alaska are in collision, and that they own one.third of the mining property iu some districts.
 W.H. Darlington, of Kayak, in an interview given the Seattle 'Post-Intel- ligencer, says: "J. W. Ivey is supply ing coal to the market at Kayak from one of his claims, taking it from IT, foot vein. He is contracting to deliver it at SIG per ton. The deposits are practically inexhaustible. The coal is of ap. exceptionally high grade, and lying as it does so close to water trans: portation, I believe it will be but matter of perhaps two years before it will be used largely to supply the market in this part of the country"
 The Siwashes who hunt for market about Sitka, Alaska, have taken mo- tion to have hand in the matter of game protection themselves. They say { if the government won't let them kill deer to sell any time they want to, then they will not kill deer at all except for their own use. Sitka wondered at the I scarcity of venison soon after Septem- Der 1st last year. There was only the smallest quantity on sale, aud at fabu- lous prices. Sitka began to ask ques- tions, and it developed that the Indian hunters had formed "union" among themselves and agreed to kill no deer for market in the open season unless they could do the same in the closed season. Sitka argued, then protested, then got down on her knees and offered bright new silver for fresh venison, but the silent Siwash didn't hear, and went on eating clans under his banner, "Kill now, kill all the time" Sitka wept and coaxed, but it did no good. At last ac- counts she was eating salt salmon, "can- ned truck" and tough beef shipped in on the hoof from the States. The placid Siwash said never q word and bided his time, feasting on clams.-From Field and Stream for February.
 "And yet there is aman here in Wash ington who is said to hail from Valdez as paid representative of the people there and who claims to be specially deputized to see to it that law be passed by the congress making assess ment work upon mining claims in AL aska in no wise obligatory for the hold. ing of claims indefinitely. It is not likely that in results he will earn his wage, but he offers an illustration of how widely men differ concerning Alas kan affairs-even Alaskans-and sug- pests how difficult it must be for con- gress to agree upon measure to please it's people" The above is an extract from the Washington correspondence of the San Francisco Call. The state ment will be surprise to every one here. Last fall we sent representa- tive to Washington to work for the wagon road, and absolutely nothing else. The people of Valdez feel that without a road the mines, land or laws are of little use to them, and they in structed their representative to devote his energy to fighting for wagon road legislation. It is to be hoped that our representative will consider the wishes of the people who selected him and leave all other Alaskan legislation alone.-Valdez Prospector.

Proposals will be received by the

HrOpOSdlS VIII Oe ISSSA'Cu " oHS Second Assistant Postmaster General until May 24, for performing star route service from Valdez to Tanana, two round trips each month from Oct. l to May 3l, each year, starting Oct. 1904 and ending May, 1906. Running time % days, and weight limit 400 pounds a trip each way. Bond of S35,0o0 re- quired. Blanks and information can be obtained from Alvah Flames, chief clerk, R. NJ. S., Valdez.
 VIII. Clifford, the regular mail car rier between Council and Kotzebue was injured, on the trip, by an explosion of his shotgun. Clifford narrowly escaped death when the gun exploded, pieces of the breech block having struck him near the corner of the left eye, ranging downward. Clifford was plucky. After the accident he travelled 4S miles to Crafts roadhouse, his faithful team do- { ing excellent work. He finally reached 1 Crafts roadhouse, from whence he was immediately taken to Council.
 Conservative estimates of the spring cleanups range from sl50,00O to S25o,- l GOO. To us the latter figure seems about right, says the Rampant Forum. There are more creeks being worked this winter than in any other year in the history of the camp. The Glen district especially promises we'll, with Doric, Eureka, Thanksgiving, Omego, Gold Run and Glen, and good chance for one or two more creeks, never before prospected, turning out good. The Rampant side of the slope is also mak' ing good showing with Little Minook Little Miuook Jr., Hoosier, Slate, Ruby and Hunter. The Rampant district is far from being worked out.
 Under the caption "Ketchikan has a Bright Future" the following inter view with Attorney c. H. Cosgrove, of Ketchikan, appeared in the Seattle P.-I of Feb. 9: sThe Ketchikan, or so.called Prince of Wales island district has g very promising future. The long standing litigation over the Mt. Andrew mine, one of the greatest quartz prop critics in the world, is about at an end and we expect an early development of that property on large scale. An other great property is that of the Brown-Alaska company at Hadley where smelter is being established They are putting in an extensive plant and the returns will, I have no doubt, justify the expenditure. The Unuk River Mining, Smelling & Transports tion company will have it's roadway and trail to the Behm canal region completed by July l. It extends from Burroughs bay to the Canadian line J. W. Daily has charge of the work which is an enterprise undertaken II connection with the development of ar enormously rich silver mine owned by the company. This mine, the ore oi which assays as high as s25o in silver is situated to the interior from Ketchi kan about forty-two miles, Unfortu nately the boundary has not been lo cated definitely enough for the owners to determine whether it is in Canadian or United States territory. This road will open up an unprospected country in fact, section never explored by white men. It tops what is known as an extension or outskirt of the famous old Cassiar district"

The northern most mouth ot the u- kon by which the sea coast is reached was called the Uphoon by the Russians.
 Much of the paper currency used in Alaska during Russian rule was stamped on little squares of walrus hide.
 The Holiday number of the Nome Nugget has reached us. The cover page has holly border and is printed in two colors.
 Chynik (Chinik) is Russian word meaning teakettle, tea being "chy" in Russian, derivative from the original Chinese "chah."
 According to the Nome Nugget, To- foot ledge of quartz was recently struck on Norton Bay. Samples of the rock are lousy with gold.
 In 1897 Skagway was spelt by the residents Skaguay. It was derived from the Indian word 'Skagua," which meant "Home of the north wind."
 Mir. A. L. Howard, an old and re- spected citizen of Hope, dropped dead from heart failure, on Christmas night, while on his way home from dance
 The trading post at St. Michael was  called Michaelovoski Redoubt by the Russians. It was established by Michael Tobenskoff, an officer of the Russian American Company, in 1853,
 Sitka was first called New Archangel by the Russians, but the tribal name of the savages who lived just outside the stockade fence was "Seet-kah," and this was later, for brevity and euphony, called Sitka.
 The sum of S7,2OO,OOo, gold, was paid by the United States to Russia for the territory of Alaska, The purchase was effected in May, 1867, and Alaska was formally transferred to our flag on the 18th of October.
 The word "eskimo" is derived from Kag-us.Kee the Innuit name for the casinos or club houses 10 which their Shamans performed their superstitious rites. It is also said to mean "sorcer' CTS" and 'eaters of raw fish,"
 pr. David Starr Jordan hits the nail on the head when be says that the Dol ly Warden trout, wrongfully called salmon trout" is the chief natural enemy of the salmon, and the protec tion now given it should be withdrawn
 Alaska, tue name applied to the whole of this great territory, is corruption very far removed from the original word. The natives call it "Alay-eska.' The island now known as Unalaska was called Nagun-Alayeska, or the land near Alayeska. The name came by corruption Alaksa, Alashka and finally Alaska.
 Fifty prospectors determined to wast fortunes in placer gold from the Yaka taga beaches, take passage on the Alas ka Pacific Navigation's steamer James Dollar, which sailed for the North last night. The steamer will call at Valdez and Seward. Yakataga, an Indian vii lage. is likely to become the metropolis of a prosperous mining camp. There are probably not more than ten or if teen white people located there, says the Seattle P. l.

WALL STREET REVIEW THE STOCK MARKET HAS ITS VI-
 CISSITUDES. A Feeling of the Pulse and a Studying of the Symptoms in Order to Diag-
 nose its Exact Condition.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The stock market had its vicissitudes today and there was a feeling of the pulse and study of symptoms from time to time the part of the pro- fessional element. But the sustaining and uplifting power of the demand demonstrat- ed itself beyond question in the latter part ued active demand towards a reversion to standard railroad stocks helped to the improving tone.
 Thedealings were not so heavily congestej as has been usual lately. and the market broadened out materially. This was partly due to the many obscure specialties which were brought forward into prominence and activity. But even in the standard rail- roads the buying came from dissem- mated sources than was evidenced by small CT individual blocks dealt in in long strings of sales in blocks of many thousand shares which have characterized the dealings in stocks picked for each days leadership son the total dealings are below the enax- imum. but the market had more appear ance of animation and brokers on the floor seemed to be buster than on any previous day this week.
 During the first hour practically the whole market succumbed to the movement to take profits. good level of prices was carried very generally below last night. A better impression was produced when Mis- souri Pacific renewed Its advance of yester- day. Strength spread from this stock to the Southwesterns and corn carriers including some of the Southern groups. The corn prospect evidently the strong underly- ing force of the whole market. Atchison was late In responding. notwithstanding the confirmation of the large holdings of the stock acquired by Rockefeller interests The great variety of movements in special ties seemed to be started by the violent Jump in Pacific Mail. Another advance in the price of Amalgamated Copper helped that stock and probably the general market. The United States Steel stocks were particu- larly laggardly and were not helped by the late report that the committee on steel billet prices had decided to recommend an advance of s2 per ton in the price of that product. The upward flight in some of the independent steel stocks was accompanied by reports of a project maturing for a merger of the Southern Iron companies The incoming returns of railroad earnings for the first week of November show a uni. form advance over last year.
 The money market was called slightly easier than yesterday. although the cur rency movement at the interior shows gain on balance of less than million and a half an offset on treasury operations on gold exports of s3.173.OO0. Tomorrow's $2.00o,0OO gold export to Cuba does not fig ure in this showing. Sterling exchange hardened here and went lower in Paris and Berlin
 The late realizing and Animation of the market left its appearance of strength un- impaired.
 The bond market was active. Total sales par value, S4,15o,000. United States bonds unchanged on call
