Ex-Governor Hutchison, of Idaho, who is largely interested in the develop ment of lodges in the tin country near Cape York, said that it was "the pick and shovel men, rather than the yellow legged tin expert, who would open up for commercial purposes the lodges of tin known to exist in the York district"
 All steamers wintering at Dawson are safe once more, but are badly shaken up. They will be left as they are until spring, when a large amount of work will be necessary to put them in shape The steamer Lightning has been rescued from the ice mile below Dawson by cutting a channel through the ice and towing her back to her moorings.
 One of the most important reforms for Alaska recommended to the presi- dent by William A. Day, assistant to the attorney general, in his report to the president on the subject of his eX- traordinary investigations last summer, is a reduction in the cable and tele. graph tolls. Judge Day believes the commerce of the territory would be promoted largely by a reduction in the expense of telegraphing. All the tele- graph lines in Alaska, and all the cable lines, belong to the government. There is no other means of instantaneous communication. The war department recommended that the lines be estab- lished purely as military necessity, and Judge Day takes the ground that there should be no idea of making money out of these telegraph and cable lines. If any benefits can be conferred on the people through allowing them to use these means of communication, Judge Day believes the government should make the way as easy as pos sible.
 The traffic department of the w. P. X Y.R. is making every effort to dis seminate information as to the advan- tages of the Skagway route to the Tan ana gold fields. A telegraphic report recently received from J. H. Rogers, general agent of the company at Daw- son, indicates that the situation is very encouraging to those who desire to go to Fairbanks by way of the we'll estab- lished Yukon route. Mir. Rogers says the trail from Circle to Fairbanks will be completed and in the best of condi- tion by December 1st when heavy freighting will begin between Dawson and the great American camp. There are an abundance of American goods in bond at Dawson for shipment to Fair banks, thus making it unnecessary for anyone to take goods from the outside with them. Regular stages are now being operated between Dawson and Circle and regular stages will soon be operated from the latter place to Fair banks. The fare will be about 3150, {making the rate from Dawson about s250.) There is heavy travel now be- tween Circle and Fairbanks and many people are coming out from Fair banks to Dawson and via Dawson to the outside to order winter and early spring goods. There is great rivalry among freighters for contracts to de- liver freight to Fairbanks and there are ample facilities at Dawson to handle a big business. There are roadhouses every IS miles on the way.-Alaskan.

 The necessary funds have been raised and orders for all of the material for the construction of the Tanana Mines railroad have been placed. W. D.

 The president and and the attorney general are determined to break up the proctice of jury tampering in Alas ka, and as first step to this end in- structions have been sent to the United States district attorneys in the ter ritory directing them to use every means to stamp out the evil. This action was taken as an immediate re- suit of the report made tothe president by Assistant to the Attorney General William A. Day, who made thorough investigation of federal affairs in Alas ka last summer.
 The unreliable Sitka correspondent of the Seattle Times says: Capitalists from Portland, Oregon, may soon open Sitka Hot Springs as health and sum- mer resort.

Williamson of the Portland Sanitarium, and D. s. Kane of Valdez, who is largely interested in copper properties along Copper River. Dr. Williamson is in Sitka to look over the ground and upon his report of the conditions rests the possibility of an Alaskan summer resort.
 With hole on the port side beneath the water line, the United States cable ship Burnside returned from North ern waters. While en route to Sitka to make repairs to the broken Valdez cable the Burnside struck a rock in Seymour Narrows near Maud Island. The hole was punched in water-tight comparment and the Burnside was in no danger of going down. Good sea- manship on the part of Capt. o. H. Johansen, prevented the vessel from substituting serious damage. The cur rent was running like a mill race through the narrows at the time.
