TO DRIFT SOUTHWARK
Panama Men Will Prospect the Shu-
 shetna This Summer

Several outfits are preparing to leave Fairbanks for the ShuShetna, at tracted by the reports of gold having been found, and tho fact that steamers are to run upon the river next year to the head of navigation. The ad- ditional fact that the Alaska Central railroad proposes to build up the valley is making its influence felt.
 Heretofore, the Shushetna valley has never been considered of much value for gold by prospectors. It is wide and low, for the greater part, with heavy timber and rank grass plots alternai- ing. In fact, there are miles and miles of open places covered with grass D the summer time which reminds of a rolling prairie. At its widest part the valley is about l5O miles east and west, and l25 miles north and south.
 As the river is ascended north to- ward the Alaskan range, the ridge lines draw closer together and narrow until the river is confined in box can yons, and becomes too swift for nav igation. It also splits up into several forks, which find their source in the Alaska range at widely varying points. Among the foothills and mountains, Of course, the river branches offer bet ter proposition for mining and pros pecting. The strike reported by Pete Monahan is just above the head of nav gation.-Fairbanks News.

RUSH TO TIVE PANAMA
Trail Crowded With Mushers and
 Road Badly Cut Up
measure,

The rush 10 the Panama over the Valdez trail this year is said to eclipse anything of the kind since the first stampede into Dawson. The trail is dotted with men, horses. dogs and sIedS and it i, getting so badly cut mp that it i, almost impossible in places. The Valdez News devote, long article to the latter feature. complaining Jaa. th. damage is done by single trip out- ar," who do not care what they do 20 the uu.l so long as they get over it themselves.
 \ similar report is brou-h, 10 Sew
 rE by Jim 8angatt and Andy Griorsou who have just returned from 90 trip to Copper Center to get some horses be- longing to Bartlett. They say that the rai, i, getting in such bad condition that it i, hard to see how the long string of outfit, broughtup on the Ore- gon and Santa Clara can get through. They were back in Valdez before either vessel arrived and coming out passed a line of slcds, drawn by horses, dogs and men, that looked like a procession.
 Grierson and Bartlett state that when they came through sleds were already getting stalled and sometimes breaking down by going into deep chuck holes. These are made in the deep snow in low places by one heavy load after an- other pounding into the holes until some of them are six feet deep and have to be avoided.
 The Seward men say, as does the Valdez News, that the mushers were beginning to leave part of their loads because of sheer inability tocarry them through. One huge pile of provisions carried the sign, Help yourselves. " Not many men want to help them selves, however, because most of those going through have outfits of a size which worries them to transport.

By Cable to Thc Daily Gateway.

Washinvton, D. C., March lO-De- Iayed in transmission President RooSe- welt this afternoon announced that he had decided to appoint Wiltred B.. Hoggatt of Juneau as governor Of Alaska to succeed Gov. Brady. The decision Co appoint Hoggatt was based upon the strong recommendations given by Capt. Jarvis and Senator Hemenway of Indiana.
 It is stated that the indorsement of Jarvis turned the scale in favor of Hoggatt, as otherwise the appointment would have gone to W. T. Perkins, who had influential backing.
 Hoggatt'S name will go to the Sen ate Tuesday for confirmation. The decision in his favor was practically made several days ago but the an- nouucemeut was held up because of the aggressive candidacy of John r. Cum of Fairbanks, who had a strong pull in the support of Postmaster-Gen- eral Cortelyou.

By ca1Io to Tie Daily Gateway.


 Washington, D. C., March ll- Lieut.. G. r. Emmonds, who was sent to Alas ka to investigate the condition of the natives as a special representative of the president, submitted his report to- day. He divides the natives into two classes, those who are self-SuStaining and those who are not. The latter, he says, largely outnumber the former.
 The report states that the self-sus- taining natives are acquiring fair livelihood by contracts with the whites in the fisheries and the fur trade. Lieut.. Emmonds says this class require only government supervision to protect them from the rapacity of the whites and to improve their manner of living. The other class, whose members are unable to sustain themselves decently, the report says, require both govern ment supervision and government aid.

Washington, D. C., March lO-A ma- iority of the members of the honse committee on territories are in favor of postponing action on the bill to grant aid to Alaska railroad building until next winter. It k practically settled that nothing will be done at this session of congress although the committee and congressional Seuti- ment are inclined favorably toward the proposition.
 The reason for deferring action is that members wish to consider further what form of aid is best applicable to the situation. There is little objec- tion to giving such assistance as will really facilitate railroad construction in the district
 The house committee on territories has also agreed to strike out all ob- iectionable features of the bill regu- Iating the salmon packing industry in Alaska.

UNEASY ABOUT
 DELEGATE BILL
Rivalry Between CuShman and Nelson May Defeat Alaska
 Representation
nr cnllo to rne paily aateway.

8
 Washington, D. C.. March l2 Un- easincss exists here over the possible defeat of the Alaska delegate bill be- cause of the competition between CSn- gressman Cushman and Senator Nelson to get credit for the measure. When the Nelson bill went to the House from the Senate the House struck out all after the cnacting clause and substituted the Cashman bill and passed it in that form. It is feared that the Senate will refuse to accept the CuShman bill and will insist that the Nelson bill or none be passed. Nelson is said to be de- termined that all Alaska measures shall bear his trade mark.
 The only difference between the measures is that the CuShman bill authorizes United States commission CTS to fix the boundaries of election precincts while the Nelson bill confers this power upon the judges of the dis trict courts of the territory. The danger to the bill lies in the poSsibil- ity of a deadlock over the rivalry be- tween Cushman and Nelson to be known as author of the successful ,,.p.rrpa

NO PROVISIONS AT KNIK
Yentna Mushers Clean Out Stocks

Yentna mushers have cleaned out the stock of provisions at George Pal mer's store at Knik and he reports that the same is true of the store at Shu- shetna station. In a letter to William McCarty Mir. Palmer states that he is unable to accept any orders for forth coming wayfarers because his larder is already empty and he hasn't much more than enough left to keep himself eating regularly until navigation is open on the Inlet.
 Numerous parties going to the inter- for in the past month have taken only part of their necessary supplies from Seward, intending to supplement their stocks at Knik or Shushetna station to avoid dragging heavy loads over the rough trails which intervene in spots this side of Kuik. The first of these cleaned out the stores beyond the Arm and the later ones have undoubtedly been disappointed.

MINERS LEAVING DAWSON
Small Operators to Move Over to
 the Panama

G. A. Kennedy, an old-tIme Daw- sonite, thinks the days for the small operator in the Klondike have ended.
 'The sun of prosperity no longer shines for the small operator in the up per camp" said MT. Kennedy, "and they are leaving for this side of the line just as fast as they can pull out. The Klondike, however, will be good camp for years to come, as thereis still vast quantity of dirt that can be worked proftably with the aid of ma chinery.
 ''No doubt the mining history of the Klondike will repeat itself in the Tan ana. As the richer ground is worked out by the small operators, heavier machinery will gradually be installed to handle the low-grade dirt. This camp, it seems, however, has begun its career free from the great handicap placed upon the Klondike earlier in its history. I see more Improvements here already in my short stay than Dawson enjoys at the present time. And the people here seem to be more settled and know just what they are about, and the impression made upon a stranger is one that makes him feel that he will make mistake unless he becomes part of the life. ."-Fairbanks News.
