Ready 8uIIlgn COgper CCmpanY

o. +. Sleeper, president of the Ready Bullion Copper Company, whose mines are located on Lynx creek, near tBe line of the Alaska Central railway 3G miles north of Sewyrd, arrived here on the Bertha Wednesday evening. Mr. Sleeper will remain in Seward about two weeks before going east.
 The property of the Ready Bullion Copper Company has recently been thoroughly examined by that noted mining engincer Captain B. Franz Hand, and if Mr. Sleeper will pcrm., it, the Gateway next week will puu- fish synopsis of the report. as it will give a fair idea of the tonnage awaiting the extension of the Alaska Central but q few miles beyond the grade now re6dy for the rails.
 Agent Carrol of the Alaska Steam ship Company has received a circular from the passenger department of the head office of the Company at Seattle, setting forth special passenger rate on their boats to those who wish to attend the encampment of the Arctic Brother hood in Seattle on November 3. The circular says that it has agreed to make special passenger rates of d fare and one-third for the round trip from all Alaska ports, rates to be made on the receipt and certificate plan only.

MYSTERY CLEARS UP
Reasons Why Newspapers From Seward Fail 10 Reach the
 Outside

At last the mystery regarding the delay in newspaper mail matter has been explained. Or at least the view taken by the Gateway will be consid- cred a solution until such time as an- other cause comes up.
 Last Saturday nfghtwhen the steam er Bertha arrived at Seward a quan- tity of sacks containing newspaper mail were mloaded. If the Gateway i, correctly informed, the mai laid out on ,hc dock inone of the most soaking rain, of the season, for l2 hours, be- fore it was delivered at the postofice,
 Monday forenoon, when the eX- change, were brought to this office some of them were SD wet that water could be wrung from them In fact several were 50 damaged that it was next to impossible to read them, or de- cipher the address.
 The Gateway does not attempt to run the mall service or TO uctaJe to those in authority how the business shall be conducted but evidently there is careIessuess somewhere, and if a sack OF more of newspaper mail, espe- ciaI0y where two or more issues are sent on the same boat, does not reach subscribers in Seattle. it is rrohably no. making too much of guess to ,urmtss that this mail became so dam aged that it was unfit for delivery.
 Mr. X. F. Gould, a we)l-know busi- nos, man oi Seward, informs the Gate way that he sent a number of views O, Seward scenery to friends outside, mol long since, and has received word t.ur jhey were 50 damaged by water

WITH A WINTERS SUPPLIES c. M. Huff, an Experienced Pros. pector, Goes out in the In-
 terest of Seward People

C. NJ. HuT, veteran prospector, who makes Seward his abiding place while off duty, left on the Bertha with a complete wmtJ', outfit for Grouse creek. a tributary Of the Little Susit- na.
 Mr. HufT recently underwent an op- eration here, having had a uumor which weighed pound, removed from the lower part or his left side, He had so far recovered, however, that he felt fully able to stand the rough usage that is likely to be his lot while out in the hills.
 r During the pa, summer, while pros pecting on the Sasina and its ribu- taries, Mir. Hun discovered several veins of coal near the junction of Grouse creek and the Little Susitna, and but a short distance from the se- lected route of the Alaska Central railway.
 He located a lumber of lGO-acre claims, one for himself and one each for II. N. Coleman, F. T. Coulter, Charles Tecklenburg Mrs. Grace Tecklenburg, Carl Enohner, A. C. Gould, and possibly others, all of Sew ard.
 These coal measures. which are from seven to l2 feet in width, have been traced through the country and it iS claimed that they are extensions of the immense deposits that have been located on the Maanuska river.
 Mir. Huff proceeds to Knick bv yes sel, from that poin. he will go uf the NIuoruy' a tso,re R.is.a--ua hy suaE boat then have his outfit packed over- land to his destination. Any help re- quired will be secured enroute.
 It is his intention face up the coal seams during the winter and ascertain how they improve viJh developments
 While exploring that portion of the interior during the past summer, Mr.. Huff found some very rich gold quartz. He interds to try and find the source of this latent wealth as soon as he ar rives there, and locate claims.

INSANE MAN HANGS HIMSELF
Makes Deliberate Preparations and Launches dr1 Soul
 Into Eternity

Joseph F. Hedges, about 30 years of age, hanged himself in the govern ment jail in this place last Saturday afternoon.
 This unfortunate young man came from Bismarck, North Dakota, where his parents reside. He was employed for time on the railway and the fore men under whom he worked say that he was one of the most industrious men on the line.
 During the summer he developed strong symptoms of dementia. Judge F. II. Hildreth thought it advis- able to have him looked after and for time he was in charge of the deputy U, $. marshal As he behaved himself so well he was released in a short time.
 About one month ago. he appeared at the saw mill, seven miles north of town and acted in such peculiar manner that Deputy Marshal Sexton brought him to town and Judge Hil- dreth caused an examination on luna cy to be held. On the expert testi- monv of Dr. A. F. Burns, he was again placed in charge of the deputy mar shaI. and has been under the care of guards ever since Saturday evening about five o'clock, Guard Leonard entered the jail and found his lifeless body. He had taken a clothes line which he had used to tie his bedding, fastened it to a beam overhead, placed his neck in the moose, 1neeled down with his knees within three inches of of the floor and strangled to death.
 Deceased has no relatives here, but q few days before his death he wrote o letter to his mother. He has been in an asylum in Dakota and another in Washington. Itis supposed that in a lucid moment lie reolizod his mfortu- nate condition and willingly took his life.
 His body was interrt4 on Tuesday in the Seward cemetcry, Dr. D. H. S!eem reading the burial service.

How Is This, Dick?

Our champion bear story teller, Dick Gcllineau, told the Seward Gateway editor that the Alaska Central railroad was far superior to that of the Northern Pacific, and that better time could be made on it. Richard knows whereof he speaks, as he claims to have been in charge of the Northern Pacific con- strurtion work for 30 years prior 10 building the Valdez glacier.-Pros- pectOr.

"Very truly yours.
 "A. A. GREEN. "

In answering the above queries, be- ginning with population, it should be stated that a great many people have left Seward for the outside recently on account or the approaching winter as the railway company will employ at least 2OOmeh during the winter months, it is safe to say that about 100 people will cover the population at present. Of course this number will be greatly augmented in early spring, as from 1900 to 2OOO men will be employed on railway construction alone to say notn- ing of those working on gold-copper mines now being developed.
 The outlook for business for the next year and for succeeding years is as bright as at any point in the United States or its possessions.
 Business lots on the principal streets range in price from $7OO to $500.
 Regarding the question, lis naviga- tion open to Seward all winter?" will cause any one to smile who has win tered here. The answer is, that there is no impediment to navigation at any time of year from Seattle to Seward from cold weather or any other cause.
 TO answer Nlr. Greens letter in general way, back numbers of the Gateway will be forwarded him, and by perusing these papers carefully, he will have a complete record of Seward and it's resources.
 He can judge about ourclimate from the weather report. Gan see that we have a school, information regarding railway construction and nine develop ment is reliable. The advertising col umns tell their own story to q business man.
 We have one Of tho most complete electric light plaut- 10 be found any. where for the money r3O,OOO. We have two telephone systems and a gravity system water works. The fines wharf in aiI AlJsla and other utilities too numarOus to mention, and it cen be truthfully added that no place Of lis age has brighteror more pros porous outlook ior the future. A thor ough investigation of Seward and it's resources will convince anyone of the foregoing facts.
