river. His wife, now deceased, was a sis
ter of James A. McGown, of this city.
Two Ellsworth young ladies were teachers
in this school Miss Margaret Latin and
Miss Effie Walker, and it is, according to
the reports printed in the Berlin local
papers, largely due to their coolness,
nerve and tact that the 800 pupils in the
building were put through the fire drill
and safely marched out of the building.

Fire at South Surry. i.

SURRY, Feb. Z Especially The house of
E. NJ. Curtis at South Surry, with carriage
house attached, was burned about 1890
O'Clock last evening with contents. The
stable was saved. The loss is estimated
at 5000. There was no insurance.
The fire started in the main house from
some unknown cause, but presumably
from chimney. The family was away at
the time, attending party in the neigh
borhood. When the fire was discovered
the house was beyond saving, and it was
impossible to save any of the furnishings.
AS nearly all the residents of the vi
cinity were at the party, good crowd
was soon at the fire, and by hard work
succeeded in saving the stable.

Broke Through Ice on Union River
Near Thurston Ledge.
LAKEWOOD, Feb. 8 Especially D-Norris
Moore, of this place, lost horse last
Tuesday afternoon by drowning in Union
river.
Mr.. Moore had finished his days work O
hauling lumber to the landing from Beech =
hill, and instead of coming home through
the woods, as he had usually done, decided
to haul a load of firewood home on the icas,
which necessitated going part of the wsr
on the main river.
1t was about dusk. He had gone over
half mile in perfect safety, and suppes-
ing the ice the remainder of the way to be
safe, started his horse into trot. He had g
reached Thurston ledge, when suddenly
the ice gave way and his horse and Load
were in the river.
Mr.. Moore was standing on the load
and when the horse broke through wss
thrown over its head, narrowly escaping
with his life. John Moore, who ACCOM-
panied him, being on the rear of the load L.
went in with it and had to swim to save
himself. The horse was pulled down by
the load and Immediately drowned
The following day crew went to ttae
place of the accident and succeeded in Fe'--
covering the sleds, axes, etc. Mr.. Moore
estimates his loss at $3.50, He had not :
owned the horse year.
The drowning of this horse recalls the
fact that four other horses have perished
in almost exactly the same place within
the past fifty years.

Yukon Valley news., 1906-05-16
From the Alaska Forum, May 12.

To set MT. Ledger right and extricate from the false position the powers that rule the Valley News, would designedly place him, the Forum prints herewith the gist of the conversation between Mir. Ledger and the manager" of the Yu- kon Valley News.
 Mir. Ledger called upon the manager of the Yukon Valley News and asked him why the article refecting on the Miners Association had been published, and informed him that it was untrue. "Managern Callahan stated that the information was given him by person whom he did not care to name. He considered the article in question a news item. Mir. Ledger then suggested the advisability of having future articles rehecting upon the Miners Association duly signed. Manager" Callahan in- sisted that the article in question did not reflect any discredit on the Miners Association.
 This is what Mr. Ledger stated at the time, and has reiterated since the at tempted application of the coat of mud masquerading as an "open letter. ad- dressed to him in the last issue of that malodorous sheet. The main objection to Mir. Ledger in the ''letter,o is that he is "an avowed friend' of the editor of the Forum, and this pretext is taken to cast more mud at the Miners Associa- tion through it's president.

Messrs. Frank Stevens, James Law renee and George Shirley came in from across the divide, arriving Monday night. They don't speak we'll of the trail.
 The Stevens-Lawrence party finished cleaning up on Gold Run several days ago. They were we'll satisfied with the result.
 Mr. Stevens and Erne Mcleod have had five men at work on Shirley Bar, opening ditches, etc., for several days, and they are now shoveling in. Indica- tions point to a somewhat more plenti- full supply of water on the bar than usual during the early summer.
Yukon Valley news., 1906-05-16
From the Alaska Forum, May 5.

Under the heading "A Stormy Meet ing" the Yukon Valley News in issue dated Nov. 15, 1905, thus paid it's re- spects to the Miners Protective Asso- citation, and it's first annual meeting:
 Ut leaked out that contention, bick- ering and strife were present at the meeting of the Miners Protective As sociation held in Rampant, Nov. 4. Re- port says at times free fight was inn minent, and the meeting bade fair to resolve itself into a head-breaklng con- test. The Alaska Forum names the following as the new officers etc.
 Thus an orderly meeting of miners is branded as disorderly crowd of fight ing toughs, and furthermore the Forum "names' the officers that preside over the ''head- breaking mob. The only authority for this attack: ''Report says
 When taken to task by an officer of the Miners Association for the above, and asked for his authority for printing it, Manager Callahan pleaded per sonal inability to dictate what should or should not appear in the columns of the Yukon Valley News, and stated to our informant that it was handed to him and he had to put it in.
 Now the Valley News gravely informs the public that the editor of the Forum lis the organizer of evil forces The miners can best judge as to the "evil forces of an organization such as the Miners Protective Association.

S|TKA'S MUMMY
Old Citizen Forced From
 Retirement.
From the Sitka Cablegram.

Repulsive, misshapen, and green with age or preservative, the mummy brought to town Sunday night has been the wonder of never-ending crowd. Very mysterious was the trip made Sunday afternoon by A. Pihl, Jim Teck and Frank Biles, and there were only few who knew that an effort was to be made to secure one of the mummies which have been talked about for years as ex isting in Alaska, but which have been seen by few white men.
 The trip was entirely successful, al- though it's object was not accomplished without experiences which would have brought cold shivers to persons afraid of ghosts. The mummy was found in a cave under an overhanging cliff There for years-how many nobody knows the mummy has remained silent sen try on the lonely Alaskan coast. It's only companions have been fifty or sixty grinning skulls that were arranged around the mummy with mathematical precision. There were no skeletons or other bones, and it is thought that the heads were some sort of a tribute to dead chief.
 For years the natives of this region have told of mummies they have seen in caves along the coast. Little attention has been paid to these stories, although mummified bodies have been found at different points, notably in the Cook Inlet district at the westward. Gener- ally, white people have considered the stories as nothing more than Indian lore, and the first reports of Pihl and Teck's discovery were received with in- credulity. The natives have had a wholesome respect for the ancient graves on account of belief that anybody en- tering the caves where the bodies are

$I80 NUGGET
 FROM LITTLE MIN00k

One of the handsomest of the many valuable gold nuggets that have been brought to light during Rampart's his tory was brought in from No. Little Minook by c. R. Peck last Saturday.
 It was picked up as the dump was be- ing shoveled in the evening before, and was evidently product of the same dirt from which $73 lump was taken during the winter.
 This last nugget weighs 9A ounces. It is free from quartz and is worth about $1sO
 Mir. Peck reports that cleanups so far on No. 8 have been fully as good as were expected. So far as known the same is true of other claims along the creek. The frosty nights have held back the water, and those depending on the pups for their supply have not been able to make much progress.
 Mir. Peck stated that the last two or three weeks drifting done on No. 8 was entirely underneath old workings, on a high point of rough and jagged bedrock. It yielded some of the best dirt of the season, going as high as $2 to the buckets
