PLEASANT WEATHER
 IN LATE OCTOBER

Residents of bleak New England shores and along the Great Lakes, who wake up every morning in October To see e@crvthing white with frost, would doubtless refuse to believe that in Sew ard. above the SiXtieth parallel of laii- .mde. little frost has been seen up 10 October 20. Day after day this month the therm6mcter has risen above +i and several times above 5o, with almost constant sunshine excepting three or four rainy days.
 In Che eastern states fifteen degree, farther south the approach of winter is nearly always felt in the latter part of October. Ice forms every morning: the trees are leafleSs, and Shudder be- fore chilling winds which forecast tn" blizzards the later months will bring. On this far northern coast. although the nights are cool people have scarcely begun to think of winter. Overcoat~ are rarely seen except at night.
 The thermometer has not yet been below 10 except at night and in the early morning. The entire month has been v6Fy simila' fo a San Francisco December. with less wind. It has scarcely been cooler than the average October on Puget Sound,
 Kenai peninsula, on whose southern coast Seward stands, Ina, a peculiarly eouabIe climate. The warm waters of the Japan current flow only few leagues away, tempcring the climateot adjacent shores to q remarkable de- cree. At the head of Prince William sound, east of Kenai peninsula and eN- tending d degree farther north. tn" mercury in winter drops To degrees lower in the coldest weather.
 Some day the people of the Stat"~ will learn that the wiuter of the South ern Alaska coast k milder than that along the Ohio river, while the sum- merS are warm but never hot At the present time they would not accept the judicial finding of a court of record that the mercury did not fall to zero in Seward last winter.

STEAMER NEPTUNE AFLOAT
Takes Advantage of Her Ground
 ing to Fix Machinery

Steamer Neptune was tloated last week at Alder creek, op the north side of Tmuagain Arm. where she was grounded a week before. She was not injured at all, and her engineers and crew took advantage of the vacation to install a new shaft and wheel which were much needed, The new equip mcut wa, obtained some time before but'had never been put in because the steamer was 50 busy that the cook did not like 10 spare the time.
 It had not been expected that the Neptune would be able to get off the beach until extreme high tide, which was yesterday. The news that she was again aGoat was brought in last Monday Joy W. c. Atwood of the con- s,ruction department of the Alaska Central, who uame over the trail from Tmuagaiu Arm. He says she grounded on a sandpit and that ten feet away she would never have struck bottom.

PANAMA WOULD
 MAKE A STATE
Judge WiCktrSham says Alaska Gen. ttal will Open an Empire
 to Settlement.

"The Panama region is big enough and rich enough for great state, said Judge Wickersham in Seward a few days ago. "There is d valley 300 miles long and fifty wide, with a soil of remarkable richness, besides the most marvellous mineral area ever dis covered on this earth
 Judge Wickersham admits being something Of an enthusiast regarding Alaska in general and the Panama in particular He predicts d, wonderful future foTT the whole of Central Alaska, that vast region which will be tribu- tary to the Alaska Central Railway. saying that all that is necessary to start a rush of immigration is to dis pense uJcSctrate Information concerning it's resources throughout the states. Of the Tanana Judge WickerSham said:
 Its mineral resources seem almost inexhaustible and everywhere the pros pector bores in he finds deposits similar To those first discovered. 1 expect the Kantijhna rush to be repeated over and over again. am told by men who have investigated that great dis coveri3s may be expected all through Central Alaska. Not all of them will be as rich as the Kantishna but good camps will be planted on every creek.
 "The Tanana has a magnificent, bracing climate. no colder than the northern states, and it is extremely healthful. It k well adapted to stock raising and the small grains grow well there. All kinds Of vegetables thrive wonderfully. The soil is deep and black. like that of the prairie states.
 The people of the Panama arc look ing forward eagerly to q completion of a railroad from this coast. It means as niuch to them as to you. When the road reaches Fairbanks that town and seward will have a wonderful growth. Both of them should become large cities. with many prosperous towns between"
 "The Alaska Central will open upan empire. region which will always be tributary to that line. It will makeno difference to you here whether another road goes to the Yukon from Valdez or not. Such road would traverse a different territory and would develop other resources, so that the net result would be beneficial to the whole of Alaska. Encouragement ought to be given to everybody who wants to build a railroad in Alaska "

INLET RFGION
 RICH IN GOLD
Phil Hickey says ali Greeks Flowing into Arms Carry Wealth of
 Yellow Metal.

"Tht Cook Inlet region iS one of the richest gold fields | ever saw,' said Phil Hickey, the mining expert who represents the J. D. Farrell syndicate, last night. "The mining man can find any kind of gold property he wants. The hills seem to be full of quartz: the creaH beds and banks contain as good hydraulic lodges as can be found any where: and the delta at the mouths of thG creeks along the Inlet beaches are full of gold that can be picked up with dredgers.'
 NIr. Hickey is an exIerienced mining man, who has been all over the Pacific coast in pursuit of his bdSiness. The syndicate which he represents owns fine copper property at Latouche and elsewhere on Prince William Sound. Mir. Hickey has spent most of the sum- mer in this part of Alaska, and since August has Been engaged chiefly in looking around the Inlet. Ih'that time he has taken a bond on extensive property or lower Glasier creek and has located sixteen new claims.
 Repeated tests of the gravel in the ground which Mir. Hickey has bonded and located on Glacier creek showed colors every time and everywhere. The smallest quantity which he ob- tained from pan was 10 cents, and the amount was frequently several times that. A great deal of coarse golS was found.
 Mr. Hickey left several men oh the property to do development work this winter. Next year marhinory will be installed and the ground worked on an extensive scale NIr. HitKe5 does not consider that any further experiments are needed to demonstrate the value of the ground.
 The Inlet region has been overlooked, in Mir. Hickey's opinion, because the ground k mostly of nature that re- ouires machinery to work it. Some placers have been found which miners have worked for several years by banning, with considerable profit, but to obtain results on a large scale it will be necessary to work the creek deposits by the hydraulic method, and the sand dunes along tide water by dredging.
 The Crow creek Placer Mining Com pany has what ATr. Hickey considers one of the most remarkable hydraulic properties he ever saw. At the present time the face of the ledge k 200 feet wide and li0 feet high. This forma- ton apparently continues to the head of the creek because the Girdwood property above it is similar in extent and the richness of its deposits

A strong wind at Nome recently blew the waters of Boring sfa outward and for several hundred feet from shore men could walk the bottom with gum boots on their feet. The low stage of water made it possible to prospect the beach at points never before touched, and pans worth 2j cents and DO cents were obtained at several places, in the vicinity of the mouth of Snuie river, l. orh east and west.
