A South American Bird Which Wfns
 It's MDte by Dancing.

There is q bird in South America that makes love with it's feet. It is hand- some creature but walks clumsly, and the only sound it can utter is hodrSe chuck It dances, however, in way that wins admiration from the females of It's sex, though it's antics only serve as an incentive to laughter to human beings whs see th"m.
 This bird, &nown as the cock of the rock, lives in She northern mountainous portion e. Soutn America. It is ab2dt he size of d large chicken.
 The entire bird 5asly, head wings anu tail-is 'si93d red in color. with the exception of the tail feathers, which have d narrow band of brown across than near the #eHds which are tipped with buff On the heId is q crest oi feathers like q great red ball, which contracts CT expands at the pleasure of its owacr.
 When the mating season comes sey- en to ten males seek some secluded spot where there is level patch of ground and clear it of any sticks, stones or leaves, stamping down the dirt till it k hard and level.
 Then they call the females, who stand at the edges of this novel arena. One at d time the males then perform a most curious dance. Each dancer will first strut up and down few times and then, to the apparent delight of the rest. commence to caper around in an extremely lud!crous manner, spreading his tail and wings, pulling up his crest, lowing to the others and at the same time keeping up a hopping gait until he is exhausted.
 When all the males have danced each female will choose a mate, and the happy pairs depart to begin housekeep- ing.

Third Judicial District
 In Deplorable State
From Juneau Transcript

The people of the Third judicial div ision are certainly in deplorable con- dition. Wick ersham, the judge of that district, has been back in Washington since last September trying to get another four years. The court com missioners have scattered and gone. some of them left the territory, and yet Wickersham is hastening back to draw down his $650O for a years ser- vice on the bench.
 The people up there are getting des- perate. There is no way of settling matters by litigation and cases already in the court are lying in statu quo. No writs of habeas corpus can be issued, and men are lying in jail in direct vio- lation of the constitution of the United States. No bills of exceptions can be settled. No citations on appeal or writs of error can be issued and no mat ter how erroneous the judgment no ap- peal can be perfected. The whole ma- chinery of equity is completely idle.
 And all this because one certain man wants the office when it is as obvious as anything we'll can be that his use- fitness has been so impaired that his future services are absolutely worthless so far as justice is concerned.

by not securing him visible means of support, according to his own state ment, not even allowing him to reim- purse himself out of money collected in court. Surely the position is not one of profit when the law compels him to expel others from the community for not having visible means of support. when the law for which he is acting fails to give him visible means of sup port, forcing him to vacate building af- ter building from his inability to pay even an installment of the rent due for past use; but with the persistence worthy of a better cause. making en- trance into private property through other means than the doors; to impose fines and dispense justice without even the sympathy of the community he serves: vowing the law mnst be main- tained, though by poverty reduced to primal conditions, he has to convene his court and act in the open air, under the broad canopy of heaven on the banks of the Yukon.
 Returning to the keynote of the sub- ject that the laborer is worthy of his hire. I do not wish to blame the pre- sent officials for the present state of things, but is it not little bit of in- justice that the challenged juror, who does no work, should receive his fee in- tact, while the juror who stays, maybe the limit, should have more than his fee amounts to piled up against him?

] anana Magistrate
 In Bad redicament

It is a law of christendom that the laborer is worthy of his hire.
 It applies without distinction to all efforts requiring the increase of the physical, spiritual and mental powers. aeNan is duly bound to follow some Honest pursuit for a livelihood for which his natural adaptability and train ing qualify him, and is entitled to com pensation for compensation from man. kind for the services he renders.
 Having asserted a general principle, l will not dwell on the merits of differ ent callings.
 It is the duty of every man to defend his public and private rights, and ex- pose the abuse or neglect of duty by those who are delegated to maintain law and order.
 9 Order is the first law of heaven and earth, and to obtain justice courts are established on earth to govern by fixed laws for the general good.
 xts action should be uniform and con- astent, rendering with equity and tenn pering justice with mercy: maintaining itself with honor and dignity by expres- sing the highest power of reason. Not that mankind ever attains perfection; his progress is marked by degrees of excellence, but there is certain stan- dard of law which must be maintained, otheswise it falls into contempt and re- Iroach.
 H A case in point is that of our local commissioner or justice in Tanana, MT. |J. Bathurst, whom the authorities have raised to the position of commissioner or Justice of Panama; but have made no crovision for the office they have call
 into being.
 The present incumbent as minion of lstice, according to his own published Iatements, has to defray the expenses
 public office out of his own private
 leans, having repeatedly rendered his |signation, which will not be accepted hd he is still forced to act. in the po- tion to which he has been appointed,
 suffer the penalty for disobedience hd contempt.
 The position which should be one of bnor has all the appearance of slavery kducing him to delinquency by the bur- ens and expenses it imposes on him, lacing him in the position of vagrant

All Old Officers Chosen Again But Board of Trustees
 Abolished.
REVISED BYLAWS ADOPTED
Organization Made Thoroughly Demo cratic and Members Promise
 to Work Actively.

A large number of business men attended the meeting of the chamber of commerce. in the Arctic Brother hood rooms Monday and the session continued two and one-half hours The new bylaws were adopted with very slight changes from the draft presented by the committee-E. C.. Richards, <. 0. Morford and Dr.. Sleem. The board of trustees was abolished and all business will be transacted by the chamber as a whole, though several standing committees are provided for in the bylaws.
 As the chamber is not incorporated a board of trustees is not legally neces- sary. The object of the new order is to make the chamber strictly demo- cratic and to incite popular interest in its work by its method of operation.
 Although the old officers had eX- preSSly declined to be candidates and urged their anxiety to see new men in all positions the chamber took differ ent view and the old officers were all reelected unanimously. They will hold office for year. The list is as follows: F. c. Hale, president; $. O. Morford, vice president; F. l.. Bal laine, secretary; c. E. Brown, treas urer. The standing committees will be announced by the president next Monday evening, to which time the chamber adjourned.
 Regular meetings are to be held only once month, according to the by laws, but there are several projects which the chamber considers import ant to be set in motion at once and for that reason the short adjournment was made. One matter which has been the subject of much popular complaint is the apparent discrimination made against Seward in the steamship ser- vice and at the suggestion of J. J. Me ManuS that will be special order for the next meeting. Several other topics will be taken up at that time, including the project to advertise the resources of the town on an extensive scale.

Development Work on Wharf Property at English Bay
 Blocks l2,000 Tons.
NOW BUILDING 5OO-TON BUNKER
Owner Expects to Furnish Ample Supply for Fuel Purposes to
 Seward Next Spring.

Development work on the mines of William Wharf at Port Graham, or English bay during the past season blocked out 22, GOO tons of good coal on a vein twelve feet thick. A 3OO-ton bunker is now under construction and AW. Wharf expects to 5e able to furn- ish fuel coal to Seward after the com ing spring up to the limit of it's poSSi- ble local demand.
 The Port Graham coal k am excel lent Ignite and the output the past sum- mer showed an improvement in quality over the previous production. Several hundred tons were sold and consumed in Seward during the summer. While not equal to good grades of bituminous coal nor suitable for all purposes it Is an excellent heating coal for house use and k cleaner and freer from dust than bituminous coal. It reduces to ashes in burning and leaves no clinkerS.
 In an article on Goal fields of the Kachemak bay region" Ralph w. Stone of the '. s. geological survey says:
 "Port Graham coal is lignite-black' brilliant, clean to handle, and with shabby cleavage, The blocks into which it breaks are fairly strong, al though like most lignites they lose luster and slack on long exposure to the weather. It burns well and makes little ash."
 .,u analysis of Pert Graham coal in the same treatise gives it's percentage of fixed carbon at 39.l2, which is high for Ignite.

Departmental Order WithdrawS Deposits In Alaska From
 Further Sale.
EXISTING FILINGS UNAFFECTED
President Has Project for Govern ment Lease of Mines to
 Prevent Monopoly.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Washington. D. C., Nov. H-By an order issued by Secretary Hitchcock of the interior department today all coal lands in Alaska are withdrawn from entry except those already located. These are not affected and the parties who fled upon them can proceed to acquire title. The order was made by direction of the president.
 This order was received with con sternation by persons who have been looking to Alaska for coal eXploita- tion. The presidents idea is 10 have the government lease it's coal lands 10 operators. thus preventing monopoly and producing a revenue for the gener- al government.
 Some fear k expressed that the coal order may have d bearish influence up- on the financial interests of the Alaska Central Railway, the Copper River X Northwestern, and other railroads building to the Matanuska or Kayak coal fields. General belief is to the contrary as enough coal deposits in those districts have already been taken ovor by private ownership to furnish an unlimited coal traffic to those roads for many years.

A ledge of bomitc copper ore, ,pcc.- mems of which assay over G2 per ccr. copper, with weu-drlinod payswca. traced two miles and a quarter along ridge bordering the north fork of th. Kashwitna river, wa, located this s0m- mer The ledge k from eighteen ,o thirty-six inches wide. which Is cNtou- sive for bornitc ore. although very high grade
 The paysreak propcri, from three j' sixteen inches wide. and whcrcyo" opened chunks of heavy ore with rhe unmistakablc copper green tingc ou the surface with the gray-purpe hue of bornite was found. The ganguc i> quartz and quartzite which seyeraI assays showed 10 carry SS or $9 Iu gold
 The ridge through which this cop- per ledge runs is marrow and broken. The ledge does not run with the ridge but at an angle of 20 or 30 degrees. crossing its summit. The discoyererS believe that the ledge extends still further than they located. So far a> they went it was not difficult to tracr as it frequently cropped out upon the surface.
 J. Fl. Cam and F. w. HemlOw located this property for themselves and H. N. Coleman early in the sum- mer. After visit to Seward several other local men furnished money for further work and the prospectorS re- turned and located additional ground. Mir. Coleman will go outside this win ter to arrange for extensive develop ment of the property next summer.
 The locatorS brought back with them a Sackful of the surface ore. which is so rich that it seems impoSSi- ble for the remainder of the ledge to be barren. The walls are of granite and the general formation of the re- zion is granite or dark slate.
 The discovery is about thirty mile> up the Kashwitna river from it's con- auence with the Susitna, of which it IS tributary, and about seyenty-hve miles from Susitna station. It k about thirty miles from the surveyed line Of the Alaska Central and the locatOrs say d railroad spur could be built on the bench along the river as easily as over prairie. with the advantage thar good timber for ties grows nearly ai, the way.
