The Dear Doctor.

A dispatch to the San Francisco Chronicle from Ottawa, bearing date of Jan. 18th says: "Dr. Damourette, sol dier, scientist and explorer, who is here on visit, has excited much interest in the future of Alaska. His home is in Ashland, Or. During 1895, accompan- jed by his brother, Professor Damour- cite, he left Pyramid harbor for the unexplored interior of the Alaskan country. They ascended the Chilcoot river and struck the Yukon district at Fort Selkirk.
 "Dr. Damourette has become inter- ested in number of gold mines in Alaska, and is confident that some where upon Mount St. Elias, some 125 miles from the coast and 200 miles from the Yukon, lies the great mother lode, the rich products of which have been swept across to the Yukon coun- try. He says that Alaska has not yet been scratched; that it is the richest country in the world, and that genera tions to come will find gold in abun- dance all over the vast domain On one occasion be camped on the spot where Dawson now stands, little dream ing that he was resting over one of the richest placer deposits on the globe.
 "'There is more placer gold than quartz in the Yukon district said he, but enormous wealth in quartz exists in Alaska. l have plenty of rich prop critics to reward me for eight long years of hardship"

Report of Grand Jury.

In the United States District Court for
 the District of Alaska, Division No. l. To Hon. Melville c. Brown, Judge U. S. - District Court, Juneau, Alaska.
 The grand jury summoned for the December term of the court, empanel- ed on the 4th day of January. 1904, com pleted the work presented to it today. The jury examined 1O1 witnesses and returned 4 true bills, and in seven cases brought before it for inves stiga- tion the evidence was not sufficient to support an indictment. These latter cases greatly prolonged the session and rendered the work of the grand jury exceedingly tedious.
 Wherefore the jury prays that it may be discharged.

sufferings and hardships in the frozen North. He then paints vivid word pie lures of impositions thrust upon the natives. It is needless to say that as the years go by he is not one whit bet ter prepared to grasp the educational problem of the natives. This is self evident fact, of which there is ample proof in his own reports, coupled with information to be gained on the ground.
 What we need in this great northern country is facts. With. facts we can make reliable calculations; with fiction we are unable to cope with the existing conditions. This applies not only to the demands of the prospector but to the positive necessities of the native.
 If the government of the United States is to have a religious advocate in Alaska to be paid out of Uncle Sam's pocket, let it be man of unblemished character and who can command at least the respect of the natives. But if there is an educational problem in this land, and there surely is, let us have an educator to grasp the problem who can give his undivided attention to the duty at hand.-Alaska Prospect or.
