Hugh J. Lee, thes Cape Prince of Wales missionary, has plan for en- couraging the natives of his precinct in their work. He proposes to have fair in the near future, like the old-fashion- ed town fairs held in the country towns of New England, where he comes from.
 Fifteen thousand dollars worth of general produce and other merchandise was lost June in Thirtymile river, wrecking two scows belonging to Charles Sauter, Thomas Shaw and Thomas Morgan, Dawson merchants. There was no insurance. The scows hit rocks.
 That the newspaper busine in Al aska is profitable goes without saying, but additional evidence is found in the fact that Frame of the Juneau Record Miner has retired with competency, and A. V. R. Snyder of the Wrangell Sentinel has made money enough to visit Seattle.
 Sam Silvermau, one of the widest known mining men operating in Alaska, came down on the steamer Humboldt on it's last trip. There were sixty three passengers on the boat. The last Treadwell cleanup, amounting to s135,OOO in gold, was also brought down says the N. W. Miner.
 The Post Office Department has an nounced that navigation on the Yukon river, in Alaska, is re-opened, and that mail matter of all classes may be ac- cepted by post offices for transmission to any destination in Alaska Territory. This also includes mails for Dawson and all other places in the Canadian Yukon.
 The big mastodon recently found on Quartz Creek was exhibited in Dawson on Victoria Day. It was the intention of the owners to ship it to the worlds fair, but Gov. Congdon refused to allow it to be shipped to the United States, as he claims it belongs to the Dominion government and not to the miners who found and excavated 1t from their mine.
 The Yukon is outstripping death by natural increase two to one and even greater. The vital statistics for May, kept by the Northwest mounted police show that there were 9 births during the month as against Il deaths. Mar riages in the territory, so far as reg, istered, numbered seven for the month. Several more marriages remained to be registered for the month.-Dawson News.
 R. A. Chisholm, the first man out of 1 the Tanana this season, says that the years output will be half million dollars. Chisholm says the Panama has thirty miles of traced pay streak and that the camp is sure to be per manent. He is going to Seattle for mining machinery, He states that the best creeks in the district are the Fair banks, Cleary, Goldstream and Esther. The latter is near the town, Chena, where the late strike was made, is several miles long, shallow, and a rich producer. Cinema and Fairbanks both have newspapers. The supplies taken to the camp by the first Dawson boats sold rapidly. Eggs are $50 case, flour s1o sack.

The coming investigation Into judiciary and other matters in Alaska will be perhaps the most significant official inquiry that has ever been made in any of the territories. President Roosevelt hopes to accomplish nothing less than the permanent reform of federal affairs in Alaska by appointing officers who can be relied on in every office in the district.
 Harry Owens, who was convicted at Eagle in August, 1902, for murder in the second degree, for killing Carl Christensen in the Fortymile country, November 16, 1901, has been granted new trisl. Judge l.. K. Pratt, formerly of Skagway, represented Owens. The reversal of Judge Wickersham was on the ground of errors in the lnstruc- tions. Owens is now at San Quentin, where he is serving 25.year sentence.

A good sum has been col lected for cash prizes in the numerous contests.
 That the gold in the mines constitutes but small part of the wealth of Alas ka is the belief of Prof. c. C.Georgeson, special agent of Alaska investigation under the direction of the agricultural department of the United States. The professor says he is very conservative when he says that Alaska can support n great comfort 3,OO0,0O0 persons, and furnish happy homes for all of them without crowding and without in the least taxing the resources of that great country.
 There is a promising outlook that fisheries other than salmon will before long become commercially important in Alaska. For long time it has been known that the Alaska waters teem with several kinds of food fishes, wait ing only for commercial enterprise to enter the territory and establish a profit able business. A beginning has already been made in the western end of the Aleutian chain, where fish resembling mackerel-and called mackerel for want of more accurate name-has been packed in considerable quantities
 The Chinaman is gradually being displaced at the canneries by new and improved machinery and by Jap and white labor, says the Pacific Fisherman for June. This is becoming more and more evident every year. The number of Chinamen is becoming less and less every year. Stringent operation of the exclusion laws has prohibited any more Cbinamen from coming to this country, and as there are very few Chinese wo- men in the country the number of able bodied men is becoming less every year. This is becoming very noticeable around the canneries. Chinamen who were in their prime when the exclusion laws were passed are getting old and the younger Chinamen are taking their places, and it looks as if it will only be matter of few years before expert l Chinese labor will be very scarce.

TO TEST QUESTION
COLONEL JOE POTTER MAY TAKE
SIDEWALK CONSTRUCTION
INTO THE COURTS.

Colonel Joe Potter, the former
councilman, may bring suit when
the time comes, to test the question
whether the city has to pay half or
none of the cost Of reoonstructing side
walks. Colonel Potter's property at
Third and Jefferson will not be reached
until the improvements are made
under the bond issue, and in the mean
time he will decide whether or not
there is enough doubt TO justify bring
ing the suit. The law is rather am
bigucus. but the city solicitor has
given it as his opinion that property
owners must pay all the cost Of recon.
struoting sidewalks.
A number of people are anxious to
have the question settled. and there
was talk of one Of the churches bring
ing the suit, but this has been abau-
doned.
