 As a part of the cargo brought into Seattle on the steamer Al-Ki upon her arrival from Alaska last week, was fifteen tons of marble from the El Cap itan quarry, located at Shakan, on Prince of Wales island. This is the first consignment of any quantity of marble from the North and it's arrival marks the beginning of a new industry in Seattle. Marble of various grades and fine quality has been found i'll extensive quantities at several places along the Alaska coast, and with the low freight rates to be obtained it is believed that this city can not only successfully compete with the East for the Pacific coast, but in the territory west of the Missouri river as we'll. The freight rate on marble from the East ern quarries to this Coast is S20 a ton, and the Alaska product can be placed here for S4 a ton. The company has erected a plant on the tide flats at South Seattle equipped with the neces- sary machinery.-Northwestern Miner
 The Nome Nugget publishes an edi- torial entitled "The Alaska Woman" which is herewith given entire: "We hear much about the trials, tribulatlons and hardships which attend the life of the prospector in the Northland. Far be it from us to detract one iota from the credit and honor due to these hardy pioneers-forerunners of great future civilization. But we desire at this time to say few words in behalf of mans loyal, trusting and patient helpmate the woman of Alaska. Shar- ing with the miner his struggles; enduring with patience and without murmur the ups and downs which form a part of bis life's work in the search for gold; encouraging him when he IS discouraged; uncomplainingly dispens- ing with many of the comforts of life; ever careful and solicitous for his material welfare-these are some Of the attributes of.the true woman of the Northland-and thrice blessed is the man who secures for his life's compan- ion, such an one. And we are proud to say that there are many such in the Nome gold fields. The very nature of woman's work places her in the back ground. Her husband may be the recip- tent of honor, admiration and praise for some rich discovery made, or some deed of valor done, but we seldom ob- serve the silent, reserved figure, whose kindly ministrations and devoted loyalty and self sacrifice were largely responsible for his success, in whatever vocation it may be-"

Three vessels, the American steamer Philip F. Kelly, the American bark Kate Davenport and the American schooner Ralph J. Long have been granted special permits to sail direct for Alaska ports where there are no customs officials, and will not have to enter in the North unless they get within twenty miles of place where customs are established. The first two go to Chatham, Alaska, and the latter to Coal harbor. The conditions are that they carry undutable cargo.
 Mir. Samuel Sylvester claims that he is the only boni fide executor of the es- tate of his deceased brother Rufus, ,as he was never legally removed, the records showing that he was turned down with out hearing of any sort and has begun action before Commissioner Thomas for the busting of l.. H. Wakefield, administrator de bonis non, who he claims has acted without authority of law. The hearing has been set for April 6, and will be watched with in- terest.-Wrangell Sentinel.
 W. F. Sheard of Tacoma has present ed the city of Tacoma with Kakiak bear cub, and a model bear den and range is being constructed for it at Point Defiance Park. It was captur- ed recently by the sailors of sailing vessel off Kadiak Island. It was on an ice foe and was apparently floating out to deep sea. The cub makes the fourth of this kind in captivity in the United States, there being one in the Geologic al Garden at New York, one at Phila- delphia and one in San Francisco. The Kadiak is a distinct species of the bear family, and is found only on Kadiak Island and the mainland of that imme- diate region.
 D. H. Jarvis, collector of customs for Alaska, became captain in the United States revenue marine yesterday. While he has been called Captain Jar wis for some time, the title was bestow- ed by courtesy because of the fact that as collector of customs he ranked the captains in the revenue service. The situation was similar to that which per mitted Captain Sampson to be called Admiral when in command of the American fleet in the West Indies dur ing the Spanish war. Capt. Jarvis took his examination for promotion last month in Washington. Late dispatches say Capt. Jarvis is ill at the national capital. His condition is not danger ous.-Alaskan.

canal systems east of Phoenix and north to the Arizona falls, going to the head works Thursday if nothing hap pens. It was necessary to change one feature of the trip of MT Davis and MT. Hill on their return from Roose- welt. It had been planned for them to return to Mesa, then go to the gauginG station on the Salt River above the Arizona head, cross via the cable to the north side, then cross a similar cable over the Verde and join the appraising engineers. The washing down of the cable at the Salt River gauging station will prevent them from crossing at that point so word was sent to Mesa to have them come on to Phoenix when they reach there and drive to the Ari Zona dam from here.
 THE MISAPPROPRIATION OF A COAT-A travelling man who arrived in the city from the north on Monday night complained that his coat had been stolen during the very short time that the train stopped at Hot Springs Junction. He gave a description of the garment and also a fair one of the man he thought had the coat. The case was reported at the office of the sheriff and a telegram was sent to the Junc- tion making inquiry. In a few minutes a reply was received stating that the coat and the man were there. The man was Screw" Wiggins, more or less well known prospector and miner The telegram added that no apprehen- sion need be felt about the escape of Wiggins as he had gone to bed. Though the telegram did not say so it was easily surmised that Wiggins was drunk; otherwise he would not have stolen the coat. Deputy Sheriff Cum ningham left for the junction and re- turned last night with Wiggins.
