The discovery of gold in paying quan- titles in the tundra adjoining and under the townsite of Nome, is turning out richer than was at first anticipated. Numerous holes to bedrock have been sunk during the winter, and in almost. every instance good pay has been found. The gold is of the beach variety, fine but of high grade. Every inch ofground for miles has been staked, and a large amount of development work will be- done during the coming summer. In most cases it will be necessary to em- ploy machinery in the operation of claims. as there is much waste dirt on top of the pay. Prospecting this winter demonstrates the richness and extent, of the strike.
 There is some hope, after all, that President Roosevelt may correct his Alaska mistake. A Washington dis patch says that he hes decided that eight years is long enough for any man holding federal appointive position to draw salary from the public treas ury. He has demonstrated this in a number of changes he has made in the past few weeks and which he continues to make. There is now hardly man in the diplomatic service or at a good paying consular post who has served eight years and is to hold on. The president will apply the same rule to practically every presidential appointee how holding job. This includes de- partmental jobs, post-ottices, collectors and other high places. He has told number of callers lately that except in special cases of unusual qualifications and merit he believes that eight years should be the limit for appointive office holders. If Mir. Roosevelt will apply this rule in the case of at least one Alaska official all Alaska will rise straight up and call him blessed.- ] Ketchikan Journal.
 | Sheldon Jackson's Saxman folly has been abandoned. It is now nearly ten years since that moral and educational fraud passed by Ketchikan, then the abiding place of few white people and a considerable number of natives, and proceeded to erect an expensive school building in the wilderness which he afterwards named Saxman, though he was begged for a school here and offer ed all the ground he could reasonably ask for as a site for the building. Not a tree had been then cut from the for est which covered the site of what is now known as Saxman, and there were no people there, either white nor native, and every dollar expended in the erec- tion of that school house was practical ly,thrown away, as was also, practically, every dollar paid in teachers salaries ever since then. Now the last teacher, too conscientious to accepts salary for doing nothing, has advised the official having authority in the premises ofthe facts,and it's understood that any furth- CT attempt to maintain native school where there are no native children to be taught will be abandoned, and government school established where one should have been located ten years ago. and would have been but for the bigotry and intolerance of the sectarian clique to which the educational affairs of Alaska, outside the incorporated towns, seems to have been wholly en- trusted.-Ketchika Journal.

 A great deal of solid reading matter is being passed over by the people oi Canada these days through misappre' hension.

 The Skagway Guide draws the follow ing gloomy picture of the town: Witt a ST, 1000 water debt and nothing to show for it-but few wooden pipes three oI four feet under ground-a decrease ir property, and the city compelled tc raise the taxes, must look anything but encouraging. Another thing, Skag way has less than 1000 in population and this will cause a cut in the saloor licenses after July 1st, from S8,oOO tt , S4OOO-in case they all take out tht necessary licenses.

The postoffice at Fairbanks is out of postage stamps and a new method has been adopted to insure the forwarding of the mail in lieu Of that of attaching the little colored engravings of Wash ington and other statesmen to mail matter. People posting letters and newspapers at the Tanana metropolis to be forwarded through the United States mail service pay the postage at the Fairbanks postofItce and the post master attaches to each letter, paper or parcel a little slip of paper on which appears the printed legend: "No stamps available, postage account set tied at Fairbanks P. O." Thus prepared the government handles the Fairbanks mail as if each letter or parcel bore the customary postage stamps.
 George H. Melse was awarded dam- ages in the sum of 82o,OOO, by jury in Judge Albertson's court at Seattle, for injuries received January 2l, 1903, while employed as a stevedore on board the steamer Bertha, of the Alaska Com mercial Company. Prank Forward, first mate of the vessel, and John Con- way, hatch tender, were made defend, ants with the company in the suit Melse was working in the hold of the vessel while it was being loaded for Al, aska. A bale of freight weighing more than 500 pounds, was lowered on the unfortunate man, it was contended by the plaintiff, by drunken employees of the ship. Melse, it was thought, would not survive his injuries. For six weeks he hovered between life and death, ir 1 a Seattle hospital, but his life was saved. He left the hospital an invalid and cripple for life. His back was injured, he was ruptured and he lost his left leg, as result of the accident
 A Fairbanks special says: Not since the stampede started by the discovery of gold at Fairbanks two years ago has there been such hexcitementin in Alaska a' that occasioned by the latest reports which have come in from Little Delta Within the past two days fifty outfits have left here for the scene of the new strike, some of them taking machinery with which to commence immediate operations. Three rival townsites have been staked out at Little Delta, tht oldest, Roosevelt City, having, a pop
 uIation of fully 300 people, who ar' building cabins, establishing trading stores and the like. Fairbanks itsel is depopulated of it's floating popula tion. every man who has nothing tt prevent him having joined in the wilc stampede to the new diggings. The strikes are not confined to any ont locality, gold having been found or several of the streams about 100 miles from here up the Tanana river. So tal the strike has made better showing than the one at Fairbanks, and th' whole country is being staked. A Tenderfoot creek coarse gold averaging II cents pan has been found at depth of three feet, at Little. Delta i will average 10 cents and along Gerstlt river 8 cents pan. Every one in Fair banks is excited over the prospects o the new district, and as fast as they ar rive, newcomers hearing of the lates golconda continue their journey witt all haste that they may arrive in tim
 to stake desirable location.
