The Skagway Alaskan says: Ine
gypsum mine of the Pacific Coast Gyp-
sum Company out at Gysum on Fresh
water bay, between Juneau and Sitka,
is being developed as fast as men and
money can develop it. The company is
opening property in such way that
the gypsum can be taken from mother
earth and railroad is being built from
the wharf, that is under construction,
one and quarter miles to the mine.
Bunkers are being erected at the mine
and at the wharf. Next year ship
ments will be made regularly in large
quantities to Tacoma, where it will be
refined.
Those papers who are snarling about
the holding of a proposed Alaska con-
vention in Seattle would do we'll to
themselves propose a common meeting
ground in Alaska. Seattle has been
selected, not because it is Seattle, but
because of convenience. While it is
matter for regret that such a meeting
could not be held at some point in AL
aska, we do not see how carping criti-
cism can alter the impossible. And to
select common meeting point at this
time is impossible. The time, however,
will soon be here when Alaskans will ba
able to hold their conventions in Alas
ka. In the meantime they must do
the best they can whether at home or
I abroad.-Nome Nugget.
Among the stories narrated in fluent
German in the Daily Gold Digger Of
flee by Herr Iden. Zeller, the Berlin
newspaper man who is walking around
the world, was one about the natives of
/ the Tschauen mountains. When an
unfortunate native falls sick in that
region of ice and snow and is apparent
ly at the point of death consultation
of his immediate relatives and friends
is held and if they determine that he is
beyond recovery as a last resort his
thorax is opened with deXterous cut
of knife and the interior examined.
Naturally they find out that his case Is
hopeless. In surgical methods,at least,
the Tschauen natives are not far be-
hind the age.
The Nome Nugget tells the following
story, illustrating how a man who fails
to pay gambling debt, may sometimes
be made to pay: Geo. H. Ford went
into the Northern saloon Sunday night
and "bucked the tiger" to the tune of
$1,000, depositing his winnings in an
inside pocket. He was reminded that
the house held a check on the bank of
Cape Nome, issued by Ford last winter
in payment of sundry and divers stacks
of chips. The check was dishonored,
but was kept as a momento Of Mr..
Ford's visit. So when he again "blew
in" to the Northern and courted the
smiles of the tickle goddess with sue
cess, the dishonored piece of paper was
Ashed out of the safe and shown to MIR.
Ford as reminder of a debt Of honor.
But Mr.. Ford refused to acknowledge
the parentage. Then he celebrated
somewhat and cooled off in the city
cooler, Judge Murane relieving him Of
$40 for the benefit of the city. In the
meantime the Northern people "got
busy" and garnisheed Ford's roll,which
was in the hands of Chief of Police
Jewett, and the case will come up in
Judge Fuller's court on Sept. 15.
