The fastest round-trip winter voyage on record between Seattle and Skagway was made by the Alaska Steamship Company's Jefferson, Captain Nord, which arrived from the north a few days ago, says a Seattle paper. Her time was six days, twenty-three hours and thirty minutes. The record, made in summer, is held by the Pacific Coast Steamship Company's City of Seattle. Her time in midsummer was six days and seventeen hours.
 The Northwestern Steamship Com pany has fitted up the 250-ton schoon- CT Barbara Hernster with gasoline engine, and will, on April 1, start her across the Pacific to skirt the shores of Kamchatka with supplies for the John Rosene stations along that coast. She will continue northward, eventually crossing Boring Sea to Cape Nome, and during the summer will act as lighter between Nome and Siberian points.
 Highway robbery seems on the in- crease in Alaska. There is only one remedy for that disease in new coun try and that is the universal carrying of weapons and the shooting or hang ing of thieves at sight Up to date, crime in Alaska has been much less than could have been expected in new and thinly settled country. If the "shoot at sight" time has come it is Iamentable. Alaska should progress; not retrograde.-Seattle Times.
 Dawson is now putting up howl over the fact that Russians are offering to work OH the Dawson Creeks railroad at S2.25 per day and board, which, by the way, is better money than the average Iaborer in the shaft has made for the past three years, working and loafing alternately. With Russians do- ing the outside, manual labor, and Japs doing the cooking and chamberwork at Dawson, there is nothing left for the "po' white trash" but to pack up and move on.-EX.
 "They tackle you right on the street for something to eat, the same as in Seattle or Puyallup." This is the way that Billy Morrow sums up the certain phases of the situation in the Tanana. He says that there are hundreds idle in the Panama and it is not infrequent that one is asked the price of meal. Morrow says he prefers the Klondike. He sold his interests in the Tanana and has returned here to remain. While the men are out of work and some ask ing for something to eat, he says there is plenty of food there for sale if only the men had the wherewith to buy Dawson News.
 Marshal Perry, of the third district, in an interview at Seattle, said: GA railroad from Valdez to Fairbanks is inevitable within the next few years. If the government would only guaran- tee the interest on the bonds, private parties can be found with capital to build the road. The natural resources warrant the construction of railroad. The output of gold this year will be between S3,OOOOOO and S4,oOo,oOo. What it will be the following year is hard to say, but the sum will be much greater. The territory is so vast, the resources so little understood and the possibili- ties so great, that one is afraid to haz ard prediction"

The Wrangell Sent incl says Mir. G
 A. Singer, superintendent of the Olym- pic mines, arrived up on the Jefferson, Saturday evening, after an absence below of several months. Mir. Singer brought with him sufficient money to liquidate in part the obligations of the company at this place, and in few weeks he hopes to have enough to pay in full all the debts of the cc:poration. By the first of june it is theiriotention to bave the mines at Woedsky in full operation, and push the work with large force of men, and continue the same. Under the new organization the company is receiving the fullest meas ure of confidence and encouragement. Mir Singer goes from here to White horse, to start development work for some parties, and expects to return to Wrangell inside of thirty days. Of course we are all pleased to see him back in this country again, and are pleased to know that the Olympic will soon start up again.
 The gold output for the winter of 19O4-5 on the Seward peninsula will be- more than double that of any previous, year, and many conservative miners state that it will be three fold, says the Nome Gold Digger. The facts and fig ures are very easy to ascertain of the output to date, and with the winters, work now in progress and the recent. finds chronicled it may easily reach the latter estimate. In our own district in past years we figured simply on the out put of gold from Dexter, Dry and DOT tions of Anvil creek and few scatter ing streams. Todaylittle is heard of the old mines, although they are adding thousands of dollars daily to the worlds wealth. New finds have been made, of fabulous richness, and while the old names will never be forgotten, the creeks now in the public eye are Little, Center, Wonder, Moonlight, Peluk and the old beach line, which is one long, glitteringstreak of gold from far west of Nome to beyond Cape Nome. The reports come from outlying districts of the peninsula that more winter work is being done than ever before. The benches of Candle creek are lined with winter dumps, and, farther to the west, the Kuruk and Inmachuck are scenes of mining activity. Down Solomon and over in the Council district winter mining is being carried on more eXten- sively than heretofore, and here as we'll as allover the district where one man was employed in the past, ten are now at work. Although the district is in many cases a grand hydraulic prop sition, which will be more fully demon strated as the years go by, Nome will always offer inducements for winter diggings, and when the final cleanup is made in the spring and the dust weighed, we will then show the world that we have the greatest placer mining country yet discovered on the globe.
 Tanana is having telephone war, Frank Mortimer, formerly of Skagway, has applied for a franchise in Fair banks, and has been making it lively for the Yukon Telephone Syndicate, at least to the extent of fighting to hold the field alone. The latter system is owned by the same people who oper- ate the Dawson telephone exchange.
