PROSPECTS AT TANANA
Yukon Press.

Some holes are being sunk in the vii cinity of this town. Eusebe Moreau and Henry Wirth are sinking two. The ground promises to be deep, and there is large deposit of wash containing fine colors.
 Nothing can be said as to prospects until bedrock is reached, which it is hoped will be done in the near future.
 That an old buried channel traverses low lying ground back of town and that it carries gold is a proven fact Whether or not it contains pay time must show.
 It would be greatly to the interest of the town to encourage prospecting in this vicinity, which has as many chances for the prospector as any other part of the country.

MATTERS ON KOYUKUK

A Coldioot letter of Jan. Is printed in the Fairbanks News said that the body of J. F. J. Erb, who perished on the Chandelar in the first part of the winter, had not been found A reward of $50 was offered to stimulate search by the Indians
 Interesting items are taken from the letter as follows:
 About 235 people are wintering on the koyukuk and six on the Chandelar.
 X new strike was made last fall on small tributaries of the Alatna, about eighty-five miles from Bettles, by Rod Morrison and others. \ number of claims have been recorded on Muddy, Fir-t Chance and Rain creeks.

Bathurst Resigned.

John Bathurst has resigned as United States commissioner at Panama.
 He was appointed to the position at the request, by petition, of the people of the place, and he relinquishes it, appa rently, because the office demands more of personal sacrifice than he is willing to make.
 ''The problem of making living and at the same time holding the position is one beyond his ability to solve," says the Yukon Press, of which Mir. Bathurst is editor.

John Clinton is providing himself with storehouse by tunneling into the frozen hill back of his residence. The situation affords natural drainage, and at least two doors will be provided, so that the temperature of the room will remain unaffected by conditions outside. When completed the room will form perfect refrigerator, and will need no artificial cooling during the warm sum- mer time.

Copper river and different mining camps around the country. We staid at Valdez ten days and enjoyed it very much.
 We started on the Valdez trail via Fairbanks to Rampant, Feb. 15, with J. w. Duncan's six-dog team. The trail was good-no snowstorm at that time and no wind. We made 20 miles day for so miles: then we made the rest of the way from 2S miles to 40 miles day. We found plenty of snow on the summit near Valdez, and also plenty on the head waters of the Delta river. When we came to the Delta river we found very little overflow; but they told us that sometimes when the Delta gets to overflowing no one can travel on it for two or three days at time. The trail was very good on the Delta and all the way to Fairbanks. We stopped at road houses all along the way It cost us for the first twenty miles 15 cents meal :; the next so miles $l meal; the next oo liliitS fl .oo a llledi lIlt next JU llllcS $2 meal, and the next 100 miles to Fairbanks $l 50 a meal, and from Fair banks to Rampant $l meal. The most of the roadhouses give pretty good meals. They all charge $l a night to sleep on brush beds that are very badly made. The most of them have plenty of blankets and robes, but few have none at all. When you get into road house never kick at what they have got to eat or anything about the place. It may be that it is the best they can do for the amount that they charge you. It cost them some money to get there, and they did not go there to keep road houses for their health. They were healthy before. And don't think that anybody starts on that trail for their health; if one is not healthy before he starts he had better stay away. After one has traveied all day long it seems that one of those roadhouses are very welcome, with its warm place to go into and have warm meal ready for you. But the best friend you can have on the road is to have plenty of money. You can always get along with money.
 The trail was not so good from Fair banks to Rampant.
 We were twenty days on the road from Valdez to Rampant.

We had music on a phono- graph. There were five photographs aboard. We had music every night and sometimes during the day. Pretty jolly lot of people aboard of the Bertha: good officer and plenty of something good to eat.
 Jan. ? the steamer made start in the afternoon and we ran all night
 Jan. 2S, got in Queen Charlotte Sound in the forenoon. Good deal of wind The steamer did some rocking and about all the passengers were sick. We had more shaking when we passed Millbank Sound in the afternoon. At II o'clock at night we ran into thick fog and they put the anchor down for the night
 Jan. 29.-The wind was blowing and we had more shaking as we passed Dixon entrance. We got to ketchikan at 1 in the afternoon. We stopped about an hour. All the passengers took in the town.

We started on our journey and ran until o'clock next morning, when we got to Wrangell Narrows.
 Jan. 30.-The tide was low, so we did not move until I o'clock in the after noon, and got to Juneau at o'clock at night We all took in the town, and some had more than their share when they came aboard the boat. Two men got aboard who wanted to steal their passage. They never got found out un- til the second day. When the officer of the Bertha wanted to put them to work one of them objected; so they put him off at Yakutat.
 Feb. Eve left Juneau at 2 o'clock in the morning; ran all night and got in open sea in the afternoon. The waves were of pretty good size. They made most all the passengers sick. No music that night.
 Feb. 3.-iOt to Eakutat at 10 d. m. Natives came on board in great num- bers, selling all kinds of articles of their own make. After unloading d few arti- clcs for that place, we starled again in the afternoon. Mount St. Elias was visible. The sun was up pretty high, but everything was covered with snow.

MESSAGE-VIEWS OF PROM.
NENT NEW YORK FINANcIER.

Washington, d. c., Oct. 26.-The
money stringelcy is attracting con-
siderable attention in administration
circles, and the hurried visit of Sec
rotary SaHv, cutting short his. cam.
paign tour, has awakened many ru-
mOrs. Some fears are expressed that
the country is on the eve of a finan.
cial panic These fears are not wen
founded, and the present stringency
can be accounted for in many ways.
The criticism that has been so wide
spread among American bankers of
our existing currency system, the ty-
ing up of so many millions in real es-
tate, the heavy investments in min
ing stocks, the inadequacy of the
transportation facilities for handling
the immense crops of the south and
west and the political campaigns now
being waged, are all factors.
If the doctrine of government own.
ership should spread to an extent
that it would become dominant fac.
tor in politics. Because of this the
campaign now going on in New York

with deep concern here as elsewhere
It is possible the present situation

Standard Oil Company guilty of a
conspiracy In I.-' -Gint of trade has
had depre7 influence on the
money market, a4d adds to the causes
producing the present slringency
Whether this is true or not, it is
very likely the verdict will have
much TO do in causing the readiust
