YUKON POLAR INSTITUTE
Dawson News.

The proposition of making experiments here for the Yukon Polar Institute pro- feet to go to the pole will receive a fa- vorable recommendation at Ottawa by Governor McInnes.

 Godfrey Chealander, of the Alaska Yukon exposition, has offered his nov ing picture apparatus for Naricle to take polar pictures, and now that Darms is on deck to do the camera work, Naricle will soon have long line of experts following his wake.

TO DREDCE
 IN THE TANANA
Fairbanks News.


 Ground for dredging purposes is being staked in the Panama, and it will be but a short time, apparently, until the big machines are nosing about for gold in the many streams of this part of Alaska.
 Plans are already under way for one or two dredging outfits next summer. But it takes time and money to get started Indeed, large fortune is needed to build dredger of any size, and the expense of getting it here is another considerable item.
 Those acquainted with dredging condi- tions, however, for some time have realized the opportunities offered capital. There are hundreds and hundreds of In many of these, at the present time, grubstakes can be worked from the river bars. Even after tbe gold has been worked out of the hlls-and most people agree that that will be far far into the future-there will be plenty of ground for dredgers to work
 The Dawson camp has resolved itself almost wholly into dredging proposi tion, and the machines are employed in Nome and certain parts of interior Alas ka along the Yukon; but there is every indication that the dredgers will be working here along with the miner and prospector. It has been the history of mining, save in the Nome camp, that the dredgers came i'll after the gold had been worked out from the hills by the miner. This camp promises to see min ing carried on in all its different forms at the same time. While the miner is hydraulicking down the hills the dredg- CTS will be roofing up the river beds; other operators will be working the diff ferent creeks with machinery, the same as now, only on more extensive scale as the years pass; the prospector will continue to hunt new ground and burn holes to bedrock with wood fires, and during this time the hardrock miner will have interested capital in the rich lodes that apparently rib some of the mountain ranges, and all alike will en- joy the benefits of cheaper supplies by reason of railroad transportation. The handwriting upon the wall presages these conditions.

A Circular
From Sacramento Which
Fully Explains Itself.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, April 81, '06.
Our merchants have received
the following circular from the
supply houses in Sacramento:
Owing to the conditions result
ing from the recent calamity that
has befallen San Francisco and
our sister towns. we find that our
capacities are totally inadequate to
meet the demands being made
upon us for supplies. We there
fore wish to impress most forcibly
upon all of our customers the alb
solute necessity of aiding and CO.
operating with us in the following
particulars:
First-That you limit your sales
SO as to distribute your stocks over
as large an area as possible and IN
the most equitable manner.
Secoud-That you place orders
for no more goods than is abso-
lutely necessary, as we will not be
able to undertake to fill orders
complete, but will do the best pos
sible under the circumstances.
You must recognize that We are
being called upon to supply goods
for the immediate relief OF large
communities in absolute want, end
we have felt that We could not ig-
more demands from the stricken
ones but that it was and is our
duty to supply them first.
tt ird-That We earnestly re-
quest that orders for goods be ac-
companied by cash as far as pos
sible. Should accommodation be
required, we ask that you make To-
cal arrangement 30 as not to con-
centrate all the burden on us, but
rather distribute it
Fourth-That those owing over
due accounts should make every
effort to meet their obligations i'm
mediately. Under no circum-
stances can we permit such &C.
counts to increase while these con-
ditions prevails. We would es-
pecially appreciate an effort on
the part of our friends to antici-
pate payments, as far as it is with
in their power, for it must be OBJ
yious to all that the call that is
being made upon us under exist
ing conditions, and that will be
made, is far beyond our ability to
respond to, unless we have the aid
and co operation of our friends in
every way.
While there may be temporary
shortage in many lines, we do not
anticipate any suffering outside of
the stricken districts, and if each
community will supply its own inn
mediate needs first from their now
stocks, as far as may be possible,
they will materially aid in proper
ly meeting the situation.
Yours truly,
HALL, LUHRs & Co.,
ADAMs-BooTH Co.,
