In speaking of the Alaska -Yukon-Pa- citic exposition, the Dawson News says: "There need be no jealousy of Alaska's larger opportunities because of her larger population to draw from. Every thing Alaska displays, except beach scenes, must of necessity be regarded by the world of visitors to Seattle as jointly Yukon exhibition also. Few yet know that Alaska and Yukon, ,Klon- dike and Tanana are not the same. Though it will be ours to disabuse many minds as to the flag under which we live, yet we cannot fail to be bene- fited by Alaska's display, even if we fail to exhibit anything at all. Just the name in the title of the exposition, blazoned around the world, in millions of magazines, and kept perpetually there for three years, will be truly valuable asset of itself. And, after all, without a doubt, our exhibit will be worthy of the territory and the country which makes it. There need be no fear that just because we are not overcome with vanity, gratitude and youthful enthusiasm, we cannot or will not do ourselves and our country ample justice"
 Among the privileges that Congress- man Waskey and Congressman Gale will undoubtedly have as the result of their election as delegates from Alaska will be that of sending midshipmen from this territory to the naval acada- ny at Annapolis. Two midshipmen are allowed for each senator, congressman and delegate in congress, two for the District of Columbia and five each year at large from the United States. The appointments from the District of Columbia and the five at large are made by the president of the United States. One midshipmen is allowed each year from the island of Porto Rico, who must be a native of that island. The congressional appoint ments are equally distributed, so that as soon as practicable each senator, representative and delegate in congress may appoint one midshipman during each congress. The course for mid shipmen is six years-four years at the naval academy and two at sea. Candi- dates at the time of their admission must be we'll formed and physically sound. Their age must be from 16 to 20 years; heighth at the first age, 16-I8, 5 feet ? inches; at the second, 1920, 5 feet inches.

Most of the effort expended In nm ing in Alaska is in search of gold, but not all, however. On Fish river, in the Golovin Bay country are located the Omilak silver mines. The ore is taken out of large quarry. Several shafts, ranging in depth from 30 to 60 feet, have been sunk in what is practically whole mountain of ore. There are many lodges in this mountain of high value. The work will be done this year on large scale, and the mine will be made to furnish large profit.
 The Fairbanks News reports the ar. rival in that place Aug. IT of Joe Dal- ton, Jim Dalton and Joe Stiles, with S86,000 in dust produced on Eureka creek during the past season. Eureka is tributary of Moose creek in the Kantishna district. Despite the black eye the district has received on every hand, the large sum taken out by these men shows there is still some property there worth handling A number of men will remain and prospect in the country and hope to find out by next spring whether or not their holdings will justify working on large scale.
 Not long ago an Alaskan was inter viewed in Seattle. Among other things he told the people there that litigation was the curse of Nome. It needed not any such statement to bring that fact home to the minds of the people of this section. Litigation is inevitable here under present conditions The laws that govern the stalking of placer ground are imperfect and not suited to the needs of this mining region. They need revision badly, and it is one of the most cherished hopes of the mining men of the Nome district that the new congressman elected for Alaska will do something to bring about such revis- ion.-Nome News.
 Two prospectors named Jack Dona- hue and Frank Henry had an exciting fight with an American eagle few days ago, and in the conflict sustained some very severe cuts and scratches. The men were coming up the Iumachuk river from Deering and at distance of about seven miles from the latter place they saw an American eagle perched on high bluff. Henry took a shot with shotgun and the bird came tumbling down. They went to pick up the feath- cred monster, but found that he had been only stunned and terrific battle between the bird on one side and the two prospectors on the other took place. The eagle Topped it's immense wings and nearly blinded his two opponents. It followed this by taking grip on one of them with it's beak and on the other with it's claws. It bit out small piece from Henry's breast and severely lacerated him in other places. More than half of Donahue's clothes were torn off, and his face and body were quite severely lacerated. Henry used the shotgun with good effect and Don ahue got busy with a club. Between them they managed to subdue their adversary, we'll directed blow at it's head from the shotgun breaking the neck. The wings of the eagle were sent to MT. Waters, representative of the Fairhaven Water Company, who is now in Nome. Stretched out, the wings measure six feet nine inches from tip to tip.

 As was to have been expected, the Circuit Court of Appeals has reversed Judge Wickersham's decision on the subject of discovery" It will be remembered that "thirteen cents to the pan" was the prospect which was declared insufficient to establish the fact that the ground was more valuable for mining than for townsite purposes.
 That we need division of this judi cial district is now admitted by every one who is familiar with the conditions here. Even the present term of court has not cleared up the docket; many of the civil cases still being unsettled on account of the short time at the dis posal of the judge. We should have regular term of court at least twice year and it should continue each time until the docket is clear. The present court facilities are entirely inadequate and will be until the district is divid- ed. It is to be hoped that our delegate will remember his pledge to assist in having the division bill passed and will work for the measure which will give us much needed relief.-Valdez Pros pector.
