GOOD REPORT
Newsy Letter From
 Bullion Creek

The following letter from Fred A. Hartigan, who went to Bullion creek with Tom Barry and Lou Mcintyre, gives a graphic account of the condi- Jions and life on that creek as they were one week ago:
 Editor Daily Alaskan: We arrived at Bullion creek roadhouse, April |, after fast walk of 200 miles, in less than six and half days, in fine condi- ton In three days we had all of our goods a, the claims where we expect Co stay for the summer.
 X great many of the men who came here 10 do their assessment work are leaving. Some hayn't enough grub, while others are leaving in order to get out before the snow is gone. The weather has been very warm for the past few days.
 The Bullion roadhouse, owned by Rogers and Barnes, is up-to-date, even t1tha latest music.
 Jack Hardy, the well known Skag- wayau, is manager of the Bullion road house.
 Al Bear creek the ". P.NN. E. has built u large warehouse, 50Nl0 feet in size.
 KI0o Lake city and Bullion city are growing rapidly. and soon bid fair 10 Outriyal some of their older coupeJi- tors.
 Ota-I thc men who are leaving here for Whi.ehOrse and Skagway, not one can speak a bad word ab0U, Bulliou creek. It the people who have inter- estS here could but see the creek they would not be in such a hurry to sell for little OF nothing.
 Mr. Burwash and Mr. Reid the re- cord-rs, along with a sergeant and cor poral and three policemen, arrived to- day.

FEW FISH
St. Michael Indians Suffer
 from Food Secretly

Washington, April Maj II. s Wilson, Eighth infantry, commanding the post at St. Michael Alaska, reports that the Indians or that vicinity have had small catches of fish this year, the run of salmon being next Io nothing. and says the natives are not provided with the usua, stock Of fish tor winter use.
 The Indians attribute che scarcity of fish to the Use oE oil for .ue, by tbe boats of the Northern Commercial Company, plying 0ntLe Yukon, aud ask that its turtheruse be prohibited Maj. Wilson says the best opinion, however, is that the small amount Q. oil spilled overheard by the boats has no per cep,ible eIcc, on rha fish.

II Has an Income of $50 ,ooo,-
600 Year-World's Richest Mar.

NiSHolus II das an income OF SbO,OOO,s
600 a Year-World's Richest Mar.
1t was reported from st. Petersburg
the other day, on semi-offlcial author
ity, that the Car had given the equiv
alent of S1OO,OO0O0O, from his private
treasury to Russia's war fund. If cor
rect, this is the largest single gift ever
made by an individual donor to any
cause. But the Car can we'll afford
1t, for he is said to be the richest man
on earth.
No living man can tell the full ex-
tent of his wealth, not even Baron
Friederichs, tile Comptroller of the I'm
perial Household.
The official revenue of the Car is
nearly S1oOCo,cOO per apnum. 1t is
difficult to arrive at it exactly, for 1t
Is paid in various ways and under
many heads, and the sum total fluc-
tuates from year to year. But $4,000
900 may be taken as fair average.
1t is only small part of his wealth,
however, and the expense of maintain
ing his royal state more than accounts
for this vast sum. If he depended
upon his official income he would find
1t hnrd to make both ends meet.
His expenditures are almost incredi-

to exceed the amount which it receives.

A New Water Pumping system.

Philadelphia has recently installed
a most elaborate pipe system, solely
for fire fighting. For some years past.
owing to the increased demand for
water in the congested parts of the
city, the pressure in the regular water
mains has been failing, till, even
with the aid of fife engines, good
stream cannot be maintained.
The new system is entirely indie
pendent of the old, and supplies only
the hydrants; the water . is drawn
from the Delaware River, and kept a:
high pressure in the mains by a
central pumping station. The pump
ing station is not yet complete, and
for the present the pressure is kept
up by fire boats on the river, but
even under these circumstances the
pressure is much higher than that Of
the regular water supply mains.
1t is estimated that when the pump.
ing station is finished it will be pos.
sible to send four streams over tha
highest building in Philadelphia, and
that. with such volume Of water at
command. the toughest fire can le
drowned out n half hour.-Collier's.

CHINESE BANK CLERKS.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

China has way of getting hold of
some Of the first principles of things,
even though she may not have devel-
oped them into elaborate and scientific
systems. The method of calculation
used in the Chinese banks may seem
primitive to the foreigner; nevertheless
1t Is carried on with rapidly and ac-
curacy. An English officer, staying in
Hongkong, tells Of his visit to one OF
the banks.
AS an Enghshman he was received
with great civility. "Schroffl' shouted
the head clerk. This word IS not, as 1t
sounds. German, but corruption OF
the Hindu "sarraf." or banker's assist
ant In response to the call native
cashier appeared, noise,ess and defer
entail, with smooth-shaven skull,
four-foot pigtail and spotless, flowing
garments. He carried neither paper nor
pencil about him.
With great rapidly he made the de-
sired exchange of notes, doing his cal
culating on an abncus-a frame of
wire and beads, similar to those used
80 .S0NAAN'J oSuooAS SSutS uEO. HIS
long, 1.-the fingers moved over the
beads more quickly than the eye could
follow, but there was 70 mistake in tn,
total.
The officer wanted large piece of
money changed into small coin. In.
stead of going through the WEAKNESS
involved in counting out the three hun
dred pieces included in this transac-
ton, simple, ingenious device was
employed. A fiat, wooden tray was
produced containing one hundred re-
cesscs, each just big enough to lodge
enc coin and Just siinlow enough to
prevent the possibility CT two lurking
together.
! The pile Of small coins was poured
out on this tray. and with enc Jerk
of the clerks wrist the hundred re-
cesses were filed and the surplus
swept OF. During The performance the
clerk kept his enormous sleeves tucked
we'll up, in order TO disarm any posi-
BILE suspicion of dexterous pilferins.
The officers change was correct to
the last penny, and was obtained in
IN incredibly short time.

He knew he had one chance le1t. II
the hard knot came in contact with the
granny before the board reached a
sliding position, he might be saved.
There seemed little hope of that.
however, for the plank had already
passed the forty-fifth degree. Knock
er's weight on the end would have
started It sliding down that had it
not rested in slight indentation in
the pine, caused by the rough iron on
the edge of the building.
Then a slight culver ran through
the plank. Under other circumstances
Knocker would not have noticed it;
but under the high-strung condition Of
| his nerves he felt it quite distinctly,
and grew sick at heart. The boy clos
| ed his eyes.
1t was only the hard knot coming in
contact with the granny that caused
the plank to CULVER. An instant later
Big Jim arrived on the spot. Readily
his quick eye took in the situation,
and he knew in an instant what to do
to save the boy.
Like one in a dream Knocker. who
had now given up all hope and was
about to let go, heard his old friend
begin to speak to him in an everyday
tone of Withdrawing his mind from
the danger, cheerily encouraging him.
AS he talked the big man was not
idle. He braced himself and was pull
ing sturdily down on the lashing. In
moment more he had the plank down
and made fast in it's original position.
Then, amid a deafening cheer from
below, Big Jim walked out and carried
the half-censcious Knocker back to
safety.
Down on the street the bands began
to play more merrily than eve, and
the different unions fell into line
again.
Jim" said the boy, family I'm
making you miss the parade"
In that moment Jim saw the look OF
election in Knockers eye, and knew
the true cause of the boys desire to
enter the union.
"Since you did not fall, am glad IT
happened" answered the big man.
