The only place that Dawson property

treatment to let a man take chances
with fire than to filch him of his money
through the guise of legality. The
present rotten assessment system at
Dawson will certainly deter any outside
money from being invested in city

Hendrickson, the alleged bendit,who

was caught by Marshals Dreibelbis and

Word comes from Caribou that many
new buildings are going up at that
place and that number of carpenters
there have sufficient contracts to keep
them busy all winter. AS the gateway
to the Windy Arm mining country,
Caribou possesses advantages which
should, and no doubt will, make of her
a good town and active business center.
1t is a mistaken idea that one may
locate mining claims wherever gold is
found. A few days since, gold was re-
ported found in the gravel brought up
by the sand pump in drilling we'll at
Carson, Nevada, and a number Of men
at once began stalking out claims. Min
ing claims may only be taken on the
unoccupied public domain. Private
property is not subjected to the laws
under which mining claims are taken.
A Polish Jew known as Jack Glass
met his death at Little Salmon in a
rather peculiar manner. Glass, who
was a woodchopper for the White Pass
company at Little Solmon was hauling
load Of hay on a sled which overturn-

he was thrown beneath it, face down
ward, in the snow and, being unable to
extricate himself from beneath the
weight which bore him down, was suf-
focated.
1t is reported that the harbor i'm
provements at Nome, undertaken by
the Nome Improvement Company, will
be completed so that the inner harbor
may be used by lighters in August Of
next year. By the close of next season
the entire work will be finished. When
this work is done, there will be an in
ner harbor with smooth water, adapt
able to lighters and to all vessels of
light draft, in which cargoes can be
discharged, instead of on the beach as
at present. This will permit of cargoes
being discharged in bad weather, as
we'll as when conditions are favorable.
The charges made by w. A. Davis,
school teacher, to the effect that slav-
cry existed at Unalaska, have received
official recognition by the interior de-
partment. Gov. Brady has been in
structed to make an investigation of
the conditions and report whether
there is any foundation for Davis al
legations. These instructions are from
the secretary of the interior. The gov
ernor has informed the secretary that
the ordinary mail boats running to the
westward do not furnish the facilities
necessary for complete investigation
because they do not call at all settle
ments, only sending small boats on to
others, and do not stay long enough at
any to give him the time needed.

Had the people of the United States

thirty-eight years after its acquisition
by the United States and after it has
acquired population greater than that
of some states in the Union, after it has
developed a trade with the United

STOPPING THE WASTE.
Secretary Bonaparte Uniting Navy Yard
Power Plants.

Washington, D. G., August 2.-De-
spite the opposition Of bureau chiefs,
Secretary Bonaparte has started in upon
the work Of consolidating the power
plants in the various navy yards, there
BY giving to the bureau OF yards and
docks prestige it never before en-
joyed
The first work to be done is in the
Brooklyn yard, where S150,000, about
one half Of the amount required to COM
plete the task, will be spent at once.
To Boston viii be assigned about
$4,000, and small amounts to other
yarus, as the amount of money now
available is less than 100000.
In nearly every yard there are from
three to six power plants, each under
a separate bureau. This results not
only in an immense waste Of time, ma
teriaI and fuel, but very often in con-
fiict Of authority.
Secretary Bonaparte's purpose Is to
place all the plants under the bureau
of yards and docks, and, SO far as pos
sible, throw them into one building IN
each yard
