RICH SPECIMEN
 QUARTZ FOUND
Was Among Stones Placed in a Stove to Protect Bottom
 From Intense Heat.

Railroad employees of the Alaska Central at camp 49 made a startling discovery while clearing the ashes from stove few days since. Some stones and gravel had been put in the stove to protect the bottom from the intense heat, and when the debris was emptied peculiar rock was observed. A closer inspection revealed that the supposed rock was quartz, the surface of which was literally studded with gold. The quartz was burned so badly that its original color could not be de- termined, but it was evidently white quartz similar to that of Falls creek, carrying gold in the form of sylvanite. When ore of this character comes in contact for given time with intense heat, the component parts other than gold evaporate, the yellow metal alone remaining.
 The specimen was of exceptional richneS. It probably weighed a pound, and when mortared up gave forth about S4 in dust. Intense excitement pravailed at the camp and n.'a''ls' all che employees spent their leisure time in looking for the ledge from whence it came. It was probably piece of float that had wandered far from it's home in the hilS.
 It is, however, another evidence of the fact already known to students of geology and fast becoming apparent to the prospector, that the Kenai pe- ninsula possesses within it's confines. quartz veins, lodges and deposits of great value and extent. In the creeks and gulcheS near Falls creek float quartz specimens in which gold is plainly discernable have frequently been found. It now remains for the prospector to follow this float to its original source.

DISCOVERY OF
 GOLD IN ALASKA
Original Find Was Made by Rus SianS on the Anauk River in
 inc Year of 1852.

Since the matter of a branch line of the Alaska Central running up the Yentna valley, over Kwim pass and through the Kuskolwim country and on to the Seward peninsula, is being suggested, it will be interesting to note, as showing the mineral resources of this proposed route, that the first discovery of gold in Alaska was made during the Russian occupation, on the Anauk river, a tributary of the Kusko- kwim, near where the road would pass.
 The Anauk river was discovered by a Russian trader, Simensen Lukeen, in 1852, at which time he built fort, called Lukeens fort, on the Kusko- kwim, D miles above the mouth of the Anauk. It was partially destroyed by natives in lS4l, and rebuilt by Kalma- koff, Russian trader, and afterwards called Kalmakoff redoubt.
 In 1882 the headquarters of tbe Rus sian American Fur Company were at Sitka, and supplies were transported from there to Lukeen's fort by way of Nushagak river, Tic-chic river and lake down the Anauk to the Kusko- kwim, and thence by steam 9 miles to the fort.
 In 1857 the yearly supplies were sent in by the way of the mouth of the Kus- kokwim river and the old way aban- doned as a summer route and used only for the purpose of sending out the mail during the winter by dog team.
 It was the only winter route the Russians ever used from any point on the Yukon to the outside lSitka), and was only abandoned for the purpose after they left the country.
 It was while on one of these trips, in 1882, that the Russians discovered gold on the Anauk, and it is known today as the Yellow river of the Russians. It is not known whether they ever at tempted mining on a large scale, or whether they found gold in paying quantities, but it is the first time on record of gold being found in this country.

A Dead One

Breaths there a man with soul so dead, Who never to himself has said, My trade of late is getting bad, I'll try another ten-inch ad." If such there be, go mark him well; For him no bank account shall swell, No angel watch the golden stair To welcome home a millionaire. The man who never asks for trade By local line or ad displayed, Cares more for rest than worldly gain And patronage but gives him pain. Tread lightly, friends, let no rude sound Disturb his solitude profound; Here let him live in calm repose Unsought except by those he owes. And when he dies, go plant him deep, That naught'll break his dreamlesS
 sleep;
 Where no rude clamor may dispell The quiet that he loved so well. And that the world may know it's loss, Place on his grave wreath of moss; And on stone above "Here lies A chump who wouldn't advertise"
 M. l.. Carey.

FOUR MEN DROWNED
Report to That Effect Comes from
 Front Last Night

A report came in from the front Mon day that Mike Bigelow, Mike Knud- son, and two men whose names were not obtainable, were drowned in Turn again Arm the latter part of last month. They were going from Sunrise to Knik in an open boat, and an Indian reported that they were seen stuck on mudhat where the receding tide had left them. When the tide came in they were caught in the bore, their boat capsized, and all were drowned. So far the report has not been con- firmed through any other source. Both Bigelow and KnudSon were well known in Seward.

LETTING IN THE LIGHT

It affords satisfaction Co men of all parties who try to keep moss of their backs that the present year seems to be a bad one for political fossils. The South i, di,posing of some of it's Ter tiary relies and prospects are good for asimiIar cousummation in the north. A big fight is on Co beat several corpora ton agents now in the senate. Among them is Dryden of New Jersey, who was elected by the corporations, as every senator from New Jersey of either party has been for a third of century. Dryden represents nothing else and there is a chance that tine people of New Jersey may displace him with senator of their own.
 The victory of Gov. Cummins iS triumph of that faction of the Republi- can party which does not believe in Bourbon Repubucanism any more than Bourbon Democracy. and who are tired of having the tariH plank of the party platform dictated by a small which has been protection mad for two decades.

ROALROAD MAKES
 GOOD PROGRESS
Continued from page D

A. Moran. Walter Jones, resident engineer, figures the completion of the last by the middle of October, at least half month before the track can reach it. The last tunnel, No. Y is to be about 700 feet long. Saturdaynight it was in 2G0 feet. Boring is progress ing at the north end with a rate of nearly 200 feet a month Nos. 4 and 6 are shorter and will be finished before No. :.
 The.work on miles iO-5O-5l has been shortened and cheapened greatly by slight deyiations from the original To- catiou.which reduces the quantity of rock and gravel to be removed by about l6,O0O cubic yards, which would cost an average of SL5O per yard a saving of S24,OOO, besides considerable time. These changes have been worked out by the resident engineer, Fred c. l.. Hunt, and Construction En- gineer Cameron. Changes from origi- nal locations are always made during the progress of construction as the work opens up the line.

WORK WILL BE PUSHED.

Railroad work on the Alaska Cen traI will be pushed with great vigor, according ,o the announced policy of the contracting firm that has taken over construction ot the line from the present end of thc track noryhwardly go the coal fields. Tni, l, 30 veritab.e auoyk-0u. blow Co the pcssjmi,,s and ,keptics who are stcepad in mbelict and for months past have been waycr- ing in doubt and uncertainty.
 The Alaska Central railroad will be built Co it's objective inland terminus with all the expedition that men and means, directed by good judgment, can accomplish the work. This is legiJi- mate enterprise. It k business proposition pure and simple. It's con- structiou opens up country known to be rich in minerals and metals of com mercial value and it's agricultural pos sibilities are not Co be sighted. The section through which this railroad Nyul traverse i, the very hear, of this great country of Alaska, thus making che whole interior more OF less ,ribu- tary Co it.
 For countless ages vast c0a, fields haye lain dormauu immense copper deposits have been uudisturbed; ,edgcs of silver and vein, og gold are weN- plotted. All because of the want of transportation facilities. The con- ,trucuou of the Alaska Ceuua, rail- road will bring many fthese resources into active being, S1 Co speak. They will be made Co serve the purpose for which they were formed, by being thrown into channels of trade and commerce for the benefit of mankind, 1. rather than lie inactive. and unused. .
 Doubters may remain in doubt, un- believers retain their disbelief and . pessimists be pessimis,tc still but the . Alaska Central railroad will move . steadily on to speedy completion, and . become the most potent factor in the development of the latent resources of . Alaska. It will be source of !. legitimate profit Co it's operator, and !. stand as lasting monument 60 the wise forethought and rare judgment of those responsible for its inception.

HUNDREDS LOST
 WITH STEAMER
By Gable to Tho Daily Gateway.

Manila, T. |. Aug. 6-The Italian steamship Sirio sank off the east coast of the Philippine islands, and three hundred passengers and members of the crew were drowned, the balance being saved by taking to the ships boats.
 A frightful scrimmage occurred for the possession of seats. While the off, cers and crew were loading the women and children, giving them preference, they were attacked by Steerage pas sengerS who slashed right and left with knives in their frenzy to obtain a place, and many women and children were killed and wounded. Fishermen engaged near the wreck rescued many of the women.

Washington, D. C., Aug. lO-For the first time in thirteen years the govern ment announces it's intention to pu"- chase silver for the purpose of coin age. Bids on bullion will be opened August l5 and every Wednesday thereafter until further notice. It is estimated that it will require one hun dred thousand ounces of silver each week, but purchases will be dis uibuted throughout the year so as not to effect the market.
 The demand for more silver coin is said to be due to the increase in popu- latiOn.
