handed down from generation to8gen- eration. And nothing, in my Judgment, more clearly exhibits this union of taste and skIll than the cloisonne work. Up- on a metallic base, as vase. plaque or bux, an artist draws design; this design Is then outlined with fine wires of gold and silver. then enamels or various colors are filled in. When the enamels are hardened and the whole polished, the product is @ thing of mar yelous beauty.
 have not space to speak of some of the minor industries, such as paper making, matches Gin which Japan mo" nopollzes the trade of the east), fans. umbrellas, lanterns. napkins, etc. The Japanese lantern which we use for or namentation is here a practical thing, in daily, or rather nightly use. These lanterns hang fn front of the houses and are carried on the streets. They are also used for illumination on fes- time occasions; at the time of the na l. val review and on the reception to Admiral Togo, Yokohama and Tokio were iliumined by these lanterns as never saw an American, city lighted.
 When Japan was opened to the com merce of the world, there were few business houses or trading establish ments of any size. Now there are sev- eral department stores and large wholesale houses, besides manufac- tories and trading companies of impor- tanee One business man in Tokio, Mir. x. Ckura, has private collection of curios valued at s1,000.00o, which he offered to sell Europe or America, tho proceeds to be given to the govern ment for carrying on the war against Russia. Okasa has a successful busl- ness man who has earned the name Of the Japanese Carnegie" by giving a fine library to that city.
 As an evidence that the Japanese merchants are patterning after their American brethren, I might mention that a number of the stores displayed notices offering especial discounts to 'our gallant allies, the blue jackets" :" that brewing company began large newspaper advertisement with Well come to the British Squadron;" and that another merchant, after extending congratulations on the Anglo-Japan- csc alliance" invited the visitors to try his plum buildings and candies, and enjoyed tho sweetness of the al- lianee"

At Osaka 1 also visited q brush tn- dustry and found that from bones im- ported from the slaughter houses of America and from bristies purchased in Russia and in China they made tooth, nall and hair brushes for export to both Europe and America. Here, too. they have dispensed with the foreign labor which they employed in the begin ming.
 Earthenware is manufactured in abundance and of every variety. The exports of porcelain ana earthenware reached almost $2.000,O00 last year. In Kyoto we visited pottery and found two rooms, in which the finished pro- duet was displayed; the first contained beautiful specimens of Japanese skill, graceful in shape and dainty In decoras ton; the second was filled with big pieces in loud coiors and of inferior workmanship. These last articles. we were informed, were made especially for the American trade.
 Some beautiful porcelain work Is done in Kyoto, the decoration repre- senting high degree of artistic skill.
 One of the most famous kinds of china produced by Japan Is known as Satsuma ware. the glazing of which Is of a peculiar tint and has a crackled appearance. The secret of the nlanu- factare of this ware was brought from Korea by the captives taken In war some 300 years ago, and the industry still flourishes in Japan, although 1t has periAhed in Korea. Kogoshima is the center for Satsuma ware and a col- ony of Koreans living near there, as well as Japanese manufacturers, pre- duce excellent specim ems.
 Lacquer work has been done in Ja- pan from time, immemorial, samples of which. eenturiep old, can be seen in temples. palaces and museums. When gold and silver are used in connection with the lacquer, the product is often very valuable.
 The bronzes produced in the little shops scattered over Japan give. play to the artistic taste which one finds here. Osaka and Kyoto are noted for their bronyes. Sometimes various met als are inlaid ih the form of flowers, birds. animals and lahdslides, produc- ing a most pleasing effect. Then there are damascine factories and places for embroidery and for pictures made in cut velvet etc. etc.
 No one can pass through Jaran with out being impressed with the taste which seems to be national and with the delicate skill which has been

 In wood carving the Japanese have long been skilled. Specimens of wdrk done hundreds of years ago and testi- flying to their taste no less than to their deftness of hand may be seen in the ancient palaces and temples.
 Stone cutting is also an ancient in- dustfy here. There is an abundance of stone and granite. and the lanterns, Korean Hons and sacred gates have furnished subjects for many chisel. Osaka seems to be the center of the stone cutting industry.
 The iron industry is represented by an increasing number of establish ments, In many instances workmsn have been brought from abroad and employed until Japanese artisans were sufficiently trained to take their place. Much of the iron work Is still done in little shops and by hand, although nna- chinery Is being imported in large quantities
 I visited tannery in Kogoshima and found that the proprietor had spent
 
 business and that on hls return he had taught native help each branch or the business. He is now turning out an excellent product.
 One of the most promising industries in Japan Is cotton spinning. There are a number Of factories already in oper- ation and new ones are building. I vis- tied one of the plants of the Osaka Nippon Boseki Kaishs' at Osaka, This company has about 10000 spindles and the mills employ nothing but native labor. Foreign artisans were used Tn the beginning, but are no iss1ger need ed. A great many womeIf are employed and some children; for the latter a school Is maintained for two hours a day in the building. Cotton yarn is now selling for about 40 cents pound, and Is becoming one of the leading ar tieles of export; China Is the largest purchaser. Some ldea of the growth R this branch of industry can be gath cred from the fact that the export of cotton yarn amounted to less than S4,000 in 1891 and 1899; in 1896 1t had grown to over $2,000.0o0; ip 1898 to over 100000 .0O0. and duringA the last two years 1t has averaged about $lS,- 000,O0

 TO GO NORTH

\ recent dispatch printed in the Dawson News said it was talked on the streets at Fairbanks that big exped- ton was being organized by Gordon Bettles, the veteran trader and pros pector, and Louis Fredericks, ano}her weIl-known old-timer, to go into the north after winter closes in.
 The point the expedition is to head for is vague. It is said to be far across the big divide above the head of the Koyukuk, over toward the Arctic ocern In fact, one man states he was told it is in the neighborhood of sixty miles from the ocean.
 The idea of the expedition apparently originated in the report that lone miner cleaned up s7S,OO0 worth of gold and took it out to Nome with him d short time ago. The reason given for this fact not having been given more publicity before this slime is that the owner kept the find a secret SO that he could get some friends in on the ground floor.
 It is believed the wonderful report was brought by G. w. Williams, who recently came to Fairbanks from Nome, after having spent five years in the arctic.

BILLY LECLA|RE
 PASSED AWAY

X telegram received by the Rampant lodge of Yukon Order of Pioneers last Saturday announced the death of Billy LeClaire at Redlands, Cal, that after noon. No particulars were given, but it is certain that death resulted from consumption, from which he had sui iered several years.
 The deceased left Rampant to go to California by way of St. Michael July 19, and it was then apparent to his friends that the end of his life was near.
 Ever cheerful and disposed to look on the bright side, Billy LeClare had many friends and was widely known. He had resided for many years in Alaska and his birthplace was at Victoria, B. C., just outside the gate of this territory.
 He went to Juneau i'll 1888 and has resided in Alaska since that time, eX- ccpt perhaps year spent in Dawson. He went to Fortymile in 1891, and came to Rampant from Dawson in the spring of 1898, and resided here till the present summer. He was truly Pioneer.
 His mother and other relatives live in Victoria.
