The Alaska Copper company, louliu by United States Judge James Wicker sham to be the owner of the famous Bonanza group of Copper mines about 15O miles from Valdez, will begin active Lwork on the properties next spring. Supplies are to be sent in by sled late in the winter and large crew of men will be sent to the mines in the spring.

 People holding lots OH the townsite of Eagle will soon be given permanent titles to the property by the United States government, says the Dawson News. Eugene Meyers, of Eagle, has been appointed trustee by the govern mont to act in the matter. The news is brought by B. D. Mills, agent at Eagle the last four years for the North American Transportation and Trading Company, who is enroute from Eagle to Seattle. <
 Judge James Wickersham, of the Third district, in reply to recent crit icism of an address he had made some six years ago, made the following tell ing hit: "Colonel's Shaw's complaint reminds me of the old story of the lrishman who beat Jew for killing Christ. Upon being told that the la mentable deicide occurred more than 1,S0O years ago, the Irishman justified his assault upon the ground that he had just heard of it."
 The Dominion government has now under consideration the question of uniting Newfoundland with Canada, and also the purchase of Greenland from Denmark. This is the result of the Alaska boundary decision which is so unsatisfactory to Canada. While Canada and Newfoundland can enter upon negotiations as to union, it will be necessary for the Dominion to nego- tiate through the imperial authorities with Denmark for the purchase of Greenland. So far no official informa- tion can be had.
 The results of an extensive examina- tion of the coal resources of the Yu- kon region in Alaska are about to be published in report of the geological survey. The prospects are summed up by the survey in the following para graph: "The future development cf the Yukon coal resources probably de pends not only on the wood supply, but on the practicability of using oil as fuel on the Yukon steamers. Some of the companies operating steamers have begun to make arrangements to use oil from Southern California for steaming purposes. Because of the limited extent of the coal beds of the Yukon, of the character of the coal, the cost of mining and the distance of the mines from market they will probably never afford coal for exporta- tiou, but with proper development they will probably be sufficient to supply all local demands that are at present fore seen."
