"There are at the present time," said Col.

The Alaska Spirit

Where much has been said lately of the so.called Seattle spirit little has been heard of the Alaska spirit. Never theless an Alaskan spirit is being de- veloped that will come to be known as stronger than the Seattle spirit. A glimpse of the spirit was seen in the delegate election, when the miners in this district united to down the poli- tician.
 The great resource of Alaska is her mines. It therefore follows that the mainstay of Alaska are the miners. That which aids the miners helps Alas ka, and it is likewise true that what ever retards the miner retards the progress of Alaska.
 A limited number of people are need ed in Alaska to conduct the transpor- tation and mercantile business. All others are but parasites living off the miners, like feas on malamute. The. miners are getting the scales from their eyes and see this. They are be-, coming "class conscious" to use 8 political term. They perceive that for self-protection they must cooperate, and from this beginning has grown the "Alaska spirit" which broadly defined means "out with the parasite" Let those who toll have the full benefit of their labors.
 From Ketchikan to Point Barrow this edict has gone forth and the para sites are moving. First those brutes who live from the earnings of fallen women. The gambler followed hard in their steps. But the worst of them all yet remains, and would fair close their ears to the miners command. They are those so-called lawyers who fatten like so many sharks, by striking down the honest prospector and taking away by injunctions, suit or what not his rights to that which he has found.
 The curse of Alaska is not too little law, but too much law and too many lawyers.
 The miners have been robbed of their rights long enough. It is time that they should awake to the fact.
 "Out with the parasite" is agood bat tie cry, one that has golden possibili- ties for Alaska.
 For it means that the rightful owner of Alaska is about to come into his ] own.-Nome Gold Digger.

 The coroner's jury which sat at Whitehorse in the case of the Colum- biau disaster has rendered a verdict that the accident was caused by the discharge of gun in the hands of one of the crew, who was killed. The jury exonerates the surviving officers and crew from all blame for the accident. According to the deductions, the rifle was discharged while in the hands of Morgan, a deck hand. The bullet penetrated package of powder on the forward deck, among other packages of the same material and caused the instant spreading of the fire which consumed the boat and caused so many deaths.

 The New York Evening World, of November 4, referring to the football game between West Point and Yale has the following to say of Dan Pullen, of Skagway, Alaska's representative to the military academy: "Knox, Morse, Muntford and Pullen, not forgetting Bigelow were the heroes of the game. The great red-headed Alaskan, Pullen, was here, there, and everywhere, toss ing the heavy Yale giants about as if they were babies. Pullen hurled him. self through the line with such tre- mendous force that frequently he would run ten feet or more before re- covering, and once he plunged through only to sprawl helplessly on the ground far beyond the Yale line. "This Pullen is wonder" said West Point i trainer. "There is no holding him. Some time ago when a Japanese was tutoring the boys on the Jiujitsu he started to wrestle with Pullen. Dur ing the scrimmage he got hold of Pull lens leg and started to torture the Alaskan. Pullen took his medicine gracefully, but when he got free he got up with a roar of rage and snatching up the Jap, tried to hurl him through window. It took six men to subdue him."

And Fire is Almost Complete.

Santa Rosa, Cal.-The list Of known
dead now totals fifty-eight and 1t is
believed that 100 is a very consefva-
tive estimate of the number Of people
who lost their lives in the awful ca
tastrophe which visited this city on
Wednesday morning April 10.
The entire business section is in
ruins and practically every residence
in town is more or less damaged, fif-
teen or twenty being badly wrecked.
The damage to residences, however,
was caused principally from the dam.
age to the foundations, which let many
structures down into the ground. The
brick and stone business blocks, to-
gether with the public buildings, were
all thrown fiat. The court house, hall
Of records, the Occidental and Santa
Rosa hotels, the Athenaeum theatre,
new Masonic temple, Odd Fellows
block, all banks-everything went, and
in all the city not one brick or stone
building is standing except the Cali
fornia Northwestern depot.
Bankers and millionaires are going
about with only the few dollars they
happened to have in their pockets
when the crash came, and are little
better off than the laborers who are
digging through the debris. Money
has practically no value here now, for
there is no place to spend it, and this
phase of the situation presents its own
remedy.
Almost every one here is sleeping
out of doors, being afraid to enter
their homes except for short while
at a time until repairs have been
made. There are plenty of provisions.
Some have been supplied by other
towns and much has been brought IN
from the surrounding country. Two
entire blocks of buildings also escaped
being swept by the flames which i'm
mediately broke out in dozen places
at once as soon as the shock was over,
and from the tangled ruins of these
buildings complete stocks OF groceries,
clothing, etc., are being dug out and
added to the common store.
