FIRST GOLD FOUND IN ALASKA.
Twas Discovered by a Russian Trader
on the Anauk River in 1882.

From the Ketchkan Mining Journal
Gold was first discovered in ALASKA on
the Anauk river, a tributary of the Kus-
kowim river, which joins the latter stream
about twenty-five miles below the trading
post of Kalamakoffsky. The Anauk river
was discovered by Ivan Simenson Lukeen in
1892. at which time he built a fort, called
Lukeens Fort on the Kuskowim river.
twenty-five miles above the mouth of the
Anauk. 1t was partly destroyed by natives
in 1871, and, rebuilt by Kaamakoff Rus
sian trader. was afterward called Kalama-
koff redoubt
In 1892 the headquarters of the Russian
American Trading Company were at Sitka
and supplies were transported thence to
Lukeen's Fort by way of Nushag * river.
Tic-chic river and lake and down the Anauk
river to the Kuakowim river, and thence up
stream twenty-five miles to the fort. In
1887 the yearly supplies were sent by way
of the mouth of the Kuskowim river and
the old way abandoned as a summer route
and used only for the purpose of sending
out the mails during the winter by dog
teams 1t was the only winter route the
Russians ever used from any point on tho
Yukon 10 the outside (Stka), and was only
abandoned for the purpose after they LETT
the country.
1t was while on one Of these trips in 1882
that the Russians discovered god on the
Anauk, and it is known today as the Yellow
river of the Russians. 1t is not known
whether they ever attempted mining on any
large scale or whether they found gold IN
paying quantities. but it is thought to be
the first time on record of gold being found
in this country.
Lukeen was born of Russian and Spanish
American Creole parents in the Ross colony
in California. He was well educated at tho
Sitka school and proved to be an active.
energetic and intelligent officer. In 1868
Iukeen assembled the Yukon river from st.
Michael to Fort Gibbon, then a Hudson 3
Bay Company trading post, which was
built by McMurTay, who descended the Por-
cupine river in 1S47. LulHeen was the first
man who connected the Pelly river OF
Campbell and the sea He returned to st.
Michael that fall In 1866 the Russian gar
rison of Kalamakoff redoubt, incharge or
Dementof, was withdrawn, the United
States having purchased Alaska from tie
Russians.

Joaquin Miller, Forester.

From the Hartford Courant.
Joaquin Miller will be remembered not
alone as the Poet of the Sierras, but held
in grateful recollection by all nature low
ers as one of the first in this country to
take practical interest in forestry. His
Cwn home in California, The Heights, is one
of the best examples of a forest created
by tree planting. y score of years ago
this was a barren tract, with nothing to
attract the poet any one else except
the broad and splendid view that it COM
manded. Miller began setting out trees,
grouping them they are found in natural
forests, and now the forest which his own
labor has created makes his homestead
wonderfully beautiful. The trees planted
include redwoods, eucalyptus. cypress oak,
poplar, beech and olive. 1t was Miller who
persuaded people to join him in planting
trees on Gcat Island, which grew ard -four
ished until destroyed by q fire "a few years
ago. While be was a pioneer in this work
in California, his efforts have been thor
oughly appreciated and have inspired
others to do what brings such generous
returns in beauty and comfort.

when 49, feet is reached a planted plateau

Yet the average age of a tree in Paris is
not eight years. Every year they must re-
place 3,oO3 dead ones. In 1850 there were

there 10S000 SO that, apart from re-
placing dead trees, Paris grows more shady

TEACHING SPARROW TO SING.
Raised With Canaries, He Soon
Learned to Initiate Them.

From the American Journal of Psychology
A series of interesting experiments IN
which English sparrows have been taught
to sing sweetly is recorded by Or. con-
radi. The aim of the experimenter has
been to determine what are the condltons
under which birds learn and cling to their
traditional notes. For this purpose he has
taken very young birds of non-musical spe-
cies and kept them entirely with songsters
to determine whether they would thus ac-
uuire the musical notes.
In July, 1898, he put four fedgling English
sDarroWs into the nest of a pair OF singing
canaries Three of them died, but the
fourth survived. This one had already ac-
ouired a sparrow chirp; but, hearing thence
forth only the notes of the canary, he went
no further with the language which was his
hirthrigbt. Instead, he came gradually
when among the canaries, TO give notes diff
ferent from sparrow talk. Even when he
was silent, If the canaries were singing he
could be seen moving his throat, as If he

DAVIS of September, when three months old,
he went up and down and up the scale, all
in one run
All this while his voice had been chang
ing At first 1t was harsh, is natural
with English sparrowS; but gradually, with
the effort or with the subconscious infu-
ence of the sweeter sounds about him, 1t be-
came softer and acquired something of the
canary quality.
At first he sang on a low scale and tried
the top notes vainly; but, as his voice be-
came mNder, he went higher more easily.
He was three months old when, growing
bolA he essayed his first trill. 1t was
short but musical. and he evidently liked 1t.
for he repeated 1t, and continued steadily
to practice il. 1t was done modestly, and
after each trill he sat still and appeared to
be listening. year later. however, when
the report was being written by the expert
menter, he had grown TO be quite an adept

he regained all he had lost in less than q

they start to be American these people

we would not tolerate.
The river Is a peaceful refuge still
from the new terror. Parisians use it as
thoroughfare, and thousands of sub
urbanites from Billancourt the Point du
Jour and Boulogne, Sevres and st. Cloud
take the boats for the city every morn
ing, thousands more get on at Passy
and Auteuil They consider themselves
lucky to have at once a peaceful and
rapid route
The boats are rapid. Under seven west
ern bridges dash the swallows of the
Seine" who begin to unload their crowds
beside the Louvre. To follow them on up
the river we must turn around and glance
at the panorama of the east of Paris.
AT the bottom of the panorama of the
west you saw fountain playing. Now
you see the same fountain at your feet
but from the other side. 1t plays into the
basin of the TuillerieS where Paris chill
dren race unnunlbered toy yachts on
three afternoons n week, when the mu-
nicipality cuts off the fountain for that
express purpose.
AS to the river boats. they dash beneath
five other bridges before coming to the
Island of the Cite.
Behind it is the old Isle ST. Louis. These
two islands held all oldest Paris in the
time of julius Caesar. 1t was the Ro-
mans under Julian the Apostate who
threw up camps and baths and palaces
across the river; and the baths of Julian
and what remains of the old palace which
the Merovingians inhabited long after
may be still seen on the Boulevard st.
Michel If you cross the cites third bridge
and walk three blocks till you come on
them in the open square of Cluny. Be
side them-and protecting them through
all the ages--is the Gothic palace of the
ancient monks of cluny.

Here stretches the old Latin Quarter;
