 Clifton Era: On Sunday morn ing there was a run away in the railroad yards of the A. x N. NJ. One of the narrow gauge coke cars, which was loaded, got loose from a point opposite the slaughter house and made it's way down the steep grade at a lively rate. At the time of the accident there were three Mexicans on the car, who tried to set the brake, which would not work, and realizing the danger on a runaway car jumped of. The car went through the upper yard without leaving the rails and passed through the cut at ter ! rifle speed without damage. When 1t struck the yards at the 4. < N. NJ. depot. Thos. Simpson, engineer, saw it coming and threw the switch for the main line. Just as he had thrown the switch the car rusbed by and ran as far as the Shannon store where 1t was mounted by Jack Anderson, who stopped it Oh the railroad bridge at the A. c. hospital, No damage was done to the car or track and TO narrow escapes are reported.

An interesting search is being car red on in the Klondike for diamonds and other precious stones. Many vari- cites of gems have already been found in the course of the search for gold, and geologists and mineralogists have pronounced the formation in the vicin- ity of Dawson as identical with those in other countries wherein precious stones abound. More than two years ago Tiffany & Co.,, of New York, cut two stones of the pink garnet species, which had been found on tributary of the Stewart river, and quoted the valuation of the cut stones as very close to that of the diamond. The topaz, emerald, garnet, ruby, zircon, opal, amethyst, moonstone and a great variety of agates have been found in the same vicinity. Wilson Foster, of Dawson, recently de- clared that in one of his own dikes near that city, he has large quantities of topaz of various shades, tints and forms, and is confident that he will fad crystals of hardness 10, or dia- monds.
 The Philippines for the Fillipinos says Secretary Taft and "So say we all of us." May this sentiment continue to grow and knock into innocuous de- suetude the carpet bag system in the non-contiguous territory of the United States. Alaska has too long been the political dumping ground and instead of petitioning for the continuance of some federal office holder from the States, Alaskans should stand together and demand that our offices be filled with bona flde residents of the District. Don't knock man because he is your neighbor; his interests are yours; Alas ka for Alaskans. From recent reports it is evident that many Alaskans are willing to do their part in looking after the affairs of the District and there are number of offices soon to be filled which should be filled by Alaskans. A federal office holder, who with his car pet bag has been in Alaska for a few years and by reason of his government position does not lose his residence in the state from which he halls, is not an Alaskan.-Sitka Alaskan.
 The Golden Fleece group of claims at Dolomi continues to show good pros poets of rich workings. Development work continues to reveal rich deposits of ee-milling ore These properties have always been regarded as promis- ing and those who have been hopeful for their success will not be disappoint- ed. A two-stamp mill is in operation on the ground and has daily capacity of four and one half tons. This rock has thus far milled values averaging S75 to the ton. The present cost of milling is $4 per ton. The management contemplates installing water power in the near future. That improvement will reduce the cost of milling to 65 cents per ton This mine has taken out enough gold to pay expenses since be- ginning operation. It has at the same time made profits wherewith machinery has been purchased and needed inn provements made. Foreman McWil- Hams sends word that the miners are now working in S75 rock. A lower av- craze is encountered at times, but as a rule the S75 average holds good. More stamps will be installed in the mill as profits accumulate from working the 'free-milling ore" blocked out ahead Journal.
