Is Predicted at Cape
Prince of Wales
WHALES ARE MOVING
Through the Straits, Where There
is Much Open Waterford
Scarce Among Natives.

Wales, April S.-There is as yet lit
activity in the tin districts of the York
region, though owners of property in
this vicinity, who have not wintered
here, are beginning to arrive and set
up camps preparatory to beginning
work just as early as the season is suf-
ticiently advanced. Those who have
wintered here are expecting a much
larger population during the coming
summer than ever before, and there is
general feeling that there will be
good deal of development work done in
the various tin sections this year.
The prospect is good for an early
breakup, as the snow is already melt
ing on the south side of some of the
hills. The prospect is that the ice
will leave early, and at Cape Prince of
Wales the residents are looking for the
first whaler not later than month
from date.
The indications are that there will
be few, if any, whales captured during
the spring whaling in the straits this
year, as the whales are already going
north.
There has been but little ice in the
Arctic ocean for some time, the south
erly winds driving it northward, and
as there is so much open water in the
straits the whales are now taking their
run through the straits instead of
month later.
There have been so many off shore
winds Of late that the natives have not
been able to get many seals and as the
walrus season has not opened yet, there
is scarcity of food in the native viii
lage. The natives are by no means
starving, however, as they are getting
few seals and plenty of tomcod and
most of them still have some flour left
from the supply they bought last SUM-
mer.

Escholt Bros. made a strike on Ari-
IONA creek last fall, but kept it quiet
until January /, last, in order to secure
more ground on the creek. They have
moved large outfit to the creek and
are preparing for summer work.
II is reported that Banks, Erickson
& Co. have struck some pay on the line
of the first and second tier benches on
the left limit of Inmachuk, opposite
the Utica group and above the Dashley
group. They put down several holes,
and the one in which the reported
strike was made is 62 feet to bedrock.
This is the deepest hole sunk so far in
Fairhaven district.
Mr.. Blanck says the season in the
northern country is three weeks ahead
of Nome district; the snow is fast dis
appearing from the hills, and there is
running water on the Inmachuk.
Kochorn, Louis Lanes native boy,
died at Kotzebue April 2 OF cOnsump-
tion. Kochorn was located at Kotze-
bue, and was engaged in trading for
Louis Lane.

Denies the story.

President Hartman of the South
ern Pacific company, who sailed for
| Europe last week, issued a statement
before leaving, to set at rest the con
flicting reports regarding the pur-
poses of the eompany's new preferred
stock.
"There is no foundation for the
current reports respecting the pur.
poses Of the additional So, 000, 900 is
sue of the Southern Pacific preferred
stock, The main purpose has been
to provide the company with a strong
capital reserve, and assure thereby by
teh refunding upon favorable terms
of it's bonds, of which a considerable
amount meture during the next three
years. The issue of preferred stock
enhances the credit of the company
and safeguards the interest Of the
stockholders in all contingencies, be-
sides permitting the continued i'm
proyement and betterment of the
properties and the development of the
territory tributary to the lines, and
thus continues the increase Of the
company's business. without mourning
the risk of a floating debt or draw
ing too heavily upon earnings, as has
heretofore been necessary"
The 10000. 900 Of stock not issued,
Hartman said. will be held indefinite.
" for purposes which have not yet
shaped themselves. Asked whether
this additional stock was to be used
for the purpose Of buying into the
Santa Fe, which has been one runner,
current in Wall street, Hartman said
he had zen on movement to acquire
this control nor to seek to do so.
