THE GOLD OF ALASKA.
IL Was frat Found By q Russian
Trader In 1879.


Gold was first discovered In Alaska
on the Anauk river. a tributary OF the
Kuskokowlm river, which joins the
latter stream about twenty-five miles
below the trading post OF Kalamazoo.
fsky. The Anauk river was discovered
by Ivan Simenson Lukeen In 1882; at
which time he built fort. called Luz
keen's fort on the Kuskowlm river.
twenty-five miles above the mouth OF
the Anauk. 1t was partly destroyed
by natives in 1871 aud rebuilt by Ia.
lamakoff. Russian trader, afterward
and called Kalamakoff redoubt.
In 1892 the headquarters Of the Rus
slan-Amerlcan Trading company were
at Sltka, and supplies were transport
ed from thence to Lukeen's fort by
way of Nushagak river Tic-chic river
and lake and down the Anauk river to
the Kuskowlm river and thence up.
stream twenty-five miles to the fort.
In 1887 the yearly supplies were sent
in by way OF the mouth of the Kusko-
win river and the old way abandoned
as summer route and used only for
the purpose OF vending out the malls
during the winter by dog teams. 1t
was the only winter route the Russians
ever used from any point on the Yukon
TO the outside (sitka) and was only
abandoned for the purpose after they
left the country.
1t was while on one OF these trips in
1882 that the Russians discovered gold
on the Anauk, and 1t is known today as
the Yellow river OF the Russians. II
is not Known whether they ever at
tempted mining on any large scale or
whether they found gold In paying
quantities, but II is thought 10 be the
first time on record OF gold being found
in this country.
Lukeen was born of Russian and
Spanlsh-American creole parents in the
Ross colony in California. He was
well educated at the Sitka school and
proved to be an active. energetic and
intelligent officer. In 1868 Lukeen as.
cended the Yukon river from st. Mi.
chaers TO Fort Gibbon. at the Hudson
Bay company's trading post, which. was
built by McMurray, who descended the
Porcupine river in 1s47. Lukeen was
the first man who connected the Pelly
river Of Campbell and the sea. he
returned to st. Michael's that fall. In
1866 the Russian garrison at Klama.
koff redoubt, in charge of Dementoff
was withdrawn, the United States hav.
Ing purchased Alaska from the Rus
sians.-Ketchikan Mining Journal.

Spells Not Spills.

Referring TO the Bryan candidacy the
St Louis Globe-Democrat remarks that
''it is remarkable political tidal wave
that can run two years without splitting
itself"
Indeed it is, says the State Register,
which would call the attention of the
Globe 10 the fact that political tidal
wave which can run from 1896 to
190G-a decade-become greater as it
runs and never spill" is even more
remarkable,
Perhaps the St. Louis paper would
say to this that there were serious Bry-
an spills" in 1896 and 1900.
Those elections are not to be labeled
Bryan spills but republican spoiIs."
1t was a ease of corporation greed. pur-
chased elections and grasping for spe-
cial privilege
And those purchased elections have
been factor in pointing the integrity
and courage of Bryan: in indicating
him and proving that Bryan has been
right and that mere counting of votes
against him has not turned him from
the course that is democratic and right
That is why the political tidal
wave" has swept along for 10 years
without spilling itself, and it will con-
tinue to roll along for a few years I'M
til it ultimately spills the grasping cor
porations and corrupt politicians into
the oblivion of political graves.

The Navy's Marksmanship.

THE criterion of target practice is
the actual number of hits per minute,
says Secretary of the Navy Bonaparte.
Many ships now average between 10
and 90 per cent of hits with all their
main battery guns, whereas in former
days the percentage was rarely over
40. even though firing slowly at a tar
get more than seven times as large as
the present one. Then the target was
100 feet long and % feet high; today
it is p feet long and Il feet high.
This increase in hitting ability is due
practices which have been carried out
under the new system adopted and
also TO improvement in ordnance. Go
ing back to 1898, when the navy was
using black powder and when sights
and other parts of the equipment were
poorly developed, our firing was both
slow and inaccurate At that time IL
was considered satisfactory if a IL
inch gun fired one shot in five min
utes. But with each subsequent i'm
somewhat increased. and by carrying
out systematic target practice the
present striking efficiency has been at
tanned. For example. the heavy turret
guns that were but a few years ago
allowed five minutes in which to fire
a shot have recently fired three shots
and made three hits in one minute"

which ma sno place at all in the sec

A congressional commission is about
10 begin the study of the postal laws

if the members of the commission
would start it with one radical anC
salutary change in the law Let them
decide to create a classification OF
free mail They may deem it wise
to divide that mail matter that is
transported free into two classes, sep
arating il into letter mail and docu
raent mail. but that is a relatively I'M
important detail The important thing
is that the statistics of the postal de
partments should show exactly how
many tons of free matter are carried
through the mails. The statistics
should also show how many tons OF
mail are carried at what is generally
known as second class" rate; that is
the rate of 1 cent a pound charged for
publications deposited in the mails by
publishers or by news dealers.
The postal department is preparing
to procure definite and relatively exact
data respecting the average distance
second class matter of genuine char
acter is carried in the mails. WheC
this information is put at the com
mand of congress it is important that
body should have knowledge regard
ing the different kinds of mail now
designated as second class" 1t car

The Postal Deficit.

News dispatches sent out from Wash
ington are doing a good deal in the
way of misleading the public about the
deficit in the postal department. This
was about s14,000,O00 for the year end
ing June 80 last and dispatches con-
tinue TO tell the old story that the de-
ficit is entirely due to the low rate
charged for newspaper and periodical
publications.
This view of the postal deficit is a gross
misrepresentation but there are misrep-
reservations people get in the way of ac-
cepting as the truth because they are
frequently repeated. This fabrication
about the postal department is of that
find. AS a matter of fact, the news
paper and periodical publications are
loaded with responsibility for the pos
tai deficit simply because the postal
laws and the postal department have
grouped a lot of incongruous classes
of mail matter under the one general
classification known as second class
The public generally. members of
the senate and house, and officials of
the postal department itself are all in
clined to regard all mail matter CLASH
fed as second class" as being news
papers or periodicals of one kind or
another. The fact is, however, that e
very large proportion of the second
class mail is made up neither of
newspaper nor of any other kind of
publication for which postage is paid.
The f~,;eral government sends out
thousands OF tons of mail classified as
second class on which no postage is
paid. and the publishers who do pay
the second class" rate of postage
have to bear the burden of revenue
deficit because of the free matter
