Placer on Eagle Creek

Fraok Bartlett and w. w. War dell returned to town this week iron the 'Chistuchina country. where they spent the summer pros pecting. They report the discov- cry of a pay streak on Eagle creek, a tributary of the Lake fork of the Chistuchina, flowing in near Lake Mencomen.
 This creek has been prospected in desultory fashion for the past four years, but this season Bart lett and Wardell devoted most of the summer to sinking, above the canyon, and succeeded in locating good pay. They located the stream and will return next summer to open up the property. Eagle creek has been located several times since the first rush to that country. It has a good fall, is close to tim Der and is easy to work.

The railroad construction party of the Valdez Yubon Co. is making rapid progress along the right-of- way over the flats between Valdez and Keystone canyon. Beginning at the easterly side of the town all the timber and brush has been cleared for distance of several miles, and a number of men are rapidly building up grade, while the engineers are in the field laying out the work ahead.
 The company has about twenty miles of steel rails, now at Vancou- Yer, which will be shipped here as soon as the roadbed is ready.
 The management states that work will be kept going until con- ditions force them to stop.
 Last Monday a number of citi- zens, upon the invitation of O. P. Hubbard, counsel for the company, visited the camp and enjoyed pleasant hour and a hearty dinner.

Mearns Drowned.

George Mearns, purser of the Inlet steamer Tyonic, was drowned early this month by falling off the boat at night when at Fire island. near Kodiak. The only one on deck at the time was the night watchman, who, hearing a splash and cry, shouted for help while he ran to the side and threw over a rope. This the drowning man missed. and by the time a boat was lowered no trace of Mearns could be found. = The steamer proceeded on her way up the Inlet, leaving d small boat with two men to search for the body, hut at latest accounts the body had not been found.
 MT. Mearns had been in Alaska for several years, most of the time acting as manager of the Wether- bee store at Kenai, but this season took the position of purser for the season.

Gold Quartz.

T. D. Bradshaw. president of the Tidewatcr Consolidated Coal Co.,, operating coal mines at Coal Har- bor, Alaska, was a passenger on the Dora bound for Seattle. He reports that on Popoff island, one of the Shumagin group of islands, there are evidences of very large body of gold bearing rock.
 About year ago gold was dis covered in the sand upon the beach on Popoff island, and some $2O,- 900 have since been taken there- from. Tracing up the source of this beach gold led to the discov- cry of what is believed to be an ex- tensive dyke of gold bearing por- phpry CT conglomerate which cov- CTS large area of country, and from which numerous samples have been assayed, showing a value of $5 per ton, with higher values in places; but the gold in the porphy- ry, however, assays uniformly s. per ton. Further tests of the ground at different points are being made to ascertain the probable ex- tent of the deposit.

Copper Claim Sold.

A transfer was this week made of a half interest in the two copper claims on Glacier island belonging to William Wagner and Frank Nelson. Wagner sold his interest in the property to Phil Collins, the consideration being one thousand dollars.
 This property shows up very we'll for the scant amount of work that has been done upon it. A shaft has been sunk almost at tide water, and it is expected that the ledge will be struck a short dis tance from where the present work stops. The ledge lies in a position similar to the ledge at Ellamat, showing up on the beach at low water and dips toward the shore.
 A disastrous fire occurred at Nome on the 18th. Sixty build ings, including the city hail, we're destroyed. The loss amounted to about one hundred and fifty thous- and dollars.

CANCER CURE
Radium, It Is Said, lie Almost Ger.
tain.

New York, April 1S.-Important ex-
periments now under way at the Flow
er hospital in this city, indicate the
discovery of an almost certain cure
for cancer. This is a new and amaz-
ingly effective method in the appll-
cation of radium.
Hudo Lieber, noted chemist of this
city has succeeded in dissolving radi.
um and the resulting solution exert
ed all the activity of pure radium.
The surgeons and physician at the
Flower hospital staff decided to give
Mr. Liebers discovery thorough
trial.
There was an old woman among
the patients of the hospital who was
slowly dying of cancer that had at
tackled the instep of her left foot. At
her time of life, 82 years, any attempt
to use the knife would have been GER
tain death. She was an ideal subject
for the important test as her case
was one OF true cancer at an ad-
vanced stage. She is Mss. Sarah OIL.
yer, of New Canaan, Conn. Realizing
the almost hopeless character of her
malady, she eagerly consented to un
dergo the experimental treatment.
Two weeks ago she received her
first treatment with the solution, or
coating, as it is technically known.
Six days later, the great tumor that
menaced her life, literally dropped
off, showing the healthy flesh under.
meath.
The treatment will be continued
throughout the week, and experts are
practically unanimous In the opinion
that within comparatively few days
the woman will be completely cured
Tomorrow another test will be begun

FOR POSTMASTER
interest Renewed in the Contest at
Salineville.

Salineville, April 1S.-The announce
ment that II. S. Mcpherson, formerly
a merchant in the village is can
didate for postmaster has awakened
interest in the fight in which four of
the citizens are engaged. Two months
ago a press report from Washington
said that Congressman James Ken
nedy would recommend r. nj. Hull
for the Office caused interest to lag.
But since that time Congressman Ken
ncdy has said that he would not rec
ommend until late in the summer, and
all candidates would have an equal
show. Mcpherson is supposed to be
backed by county influence at Lisbon
and his candidacy will weaken HulIs
support. persistent fight has been
lined up against Hull who represents
the county ring, and it is also alleged
that he was "butternut" during the
civil war. The old veterans promise
to take a hand in the fight for ex-
Mayor M. ii. Marietta who is a can
didate.

Cuban Negro Politician
Would Go Before
KDuCkIing
TOTHE UN|TEDSTATES

Havana, April 1S.-It developed to-
day that at the ting last night Of
the liberals, over which General Max
imo Gomez presided, incendiary
speeches were made in attacking Pres
ident Palma's administration.
General Gomez declared: "The at
titude of the administration is such
as to destroy the democratic insti-
tutions secured through the shedding
of heroic blood. The time for talking
has ceased. Now is the time for ac-
ton"
Juan Gualberto Gomez, negro pol
itician followed in like strain saying
that If necessary the Cubans would
all go to the woods again and that if
the United States attempted to inter-
fere, the Cubans would fgS. the AM
they bad formerly fought the Span
iards.
General Gomez again arose and
said that If necessary he too would
again take up his sword. Other poll
ticians, Of more or less Importance,
made similar speeches, amidst the
widest excitement.
Efforts have been made to keep the
seriousness of the utterances secret
for fear of the retroactive effect they
will have in the United States on
Cubans and Cuba.
