 The steamer Alki arrived down five days late, at noon today, and stopped long enough to take on twenty thous- and feet of select lumber for Seattle. She is laden with $50 tons of concen- trates from Treadwell, 7500 cases of salmon from Yes Bay, D boxes of fresh salmon and 75 tons of miscella- neous freight. She took no passengers from. here,- having no accommodations for those applying for passage.
 Yesterdays intermission, which was hailed at she harbinger of better weather conditions, lasted just long enough to enable the weather to spit on his hands and open the noodgates once more, and he has kept them open more or less of the time since. When we get another reasonably dry spell of not less than fifteen minutes duration, The Miner will be pleased to mention it as noteworthy fact. -

Pickard, superintendent of the Dunton mine, and water wheel which he will install for the operation Of the air compressor pumps and hoist Mining operations at the Dunton have been practically at a standstill for some time owing to inability to keep the underground workings clear of water, disadvantage. which the proposed utilization of the convenient water power. is designed to wholly overcome.

 The Humboldt passed up about three o'clock this morning. She discharg- ed about her usual quota of freight for this place, but brought only three or four passengers.
 News received by the Humboldt this morning by the relatives of Miss Jessie Mclaughlin, who has been dangerously ill at Seattle, is to the effect that she is much better,- and will be sufficiently recovered to enable her to be brought to her home here within a couple of weeks. Her sister, Mrs. A. A. Wakefield is now with her.
 Narrow Escape Otto Lonstortf, the Seattle mining man, while trying to get, ashore from the launch Teddy ;t his mining location in George inlet yesterday, missed his footing and plunged head formost into twenty feet of water. Mir. Lonstorff is a very corpulent man, and being unable to swim, it was with much difficulty and great effort that his companions suc- ceeded in rescuing him from drown ing. Aside, however, from cold bath, and injury to his feeling of pride, he experienced no harm from the mishap, and reached camp with out diminution of averdupos.

In Alaska alone twelve thousand men, one hundred and ten steamers, ifty-fve sailing vessels, and tugs and scows without number, are constantly ploughipg the waters engaged in the salmon business. One season's busi- ness in this locality amounts to nearly ten million dollars. When added to this is the immense trade of Puget Sound and the Colu1.. bia river, it is readily seen that the worlds output of salmon is tremendous: so large, in fact, that means must be taken to keep the waters supplied or the fish will soon be exhausted, as the mark ed decrease in the last three years catch will show,

A Pepysian Churchyard.

From the London Chronicle.
 The news that one more historic link in the city is doomed justifies a few mo- ments' retrospect. "Ye Little Olde Churchyard," in Soothing Lane, an addi- tional burying ground attached to the parish of St. Olave's, Hart street, at the
 time of the Great Plague, > to be sold for improvements" No fewer than 362 of the parishioners of St. Olaves fell vic
 tins to the disease, and of that number 162, including Mary Ramsey, who is said
 to have brought the plague into the city,
 were inferred in the two graveyards, the
 remainder being shot into the various
 plague pits. Pepys records, under date of Jan. 30 1G66 Tt frightened me to see so many graves lie so high upon the churchyard where people have been buried of the plague l nope ours win be covered with lime.

 The City of Tripoli.
 Tripoli the ctiy, lies in the Libyan des- ert on the edge of the Mediterranean sea. It is not an oasis of mud houses sur rounded by mud walls, such as l have described in my letters from the Sahara, but it is desert city of COCO inhabitants with great white buildings and walls of stone.
 Approaching it from the sea the town looks like a mighty fertilization. It is
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-07-14

built upon a sloping peninsula, the houses running around a beautiful bay guarded by rocky islands, which rise like sentinels out og the blue Mediterranean. At one end of the bay is q huge fertilization, com manded by Turkish soldiers. and at the other is the Kasbah q fortified castle. containing the government offices. Be tween these two running around inside the horns of the crescent. are white buildings mixed here and there with structures of green, blue and rose pink, which, rising almost straight up from the water, form a great bow, with these forts at the end. Behind are other buildings of three and four stories and over them all may be seen tn tall lean whit minarets of the mosaus with green caps on their tops

There are but few trees In the town At the right, facing the sea, some distance away, is an oasis of date palms but on the other sides, as far as the eye can reach there are nothing but the bare yellow sands of the desert of Libya. The city lies just south of Malta and Sicily and it is, I should say, just about midway between Alexandria and Tunis, the two greatest of the African cities on the southern side of the Med iterranean sea.

It dazzles our eyes and the white buildings about us catch the rays and throw them back. al most binding In the chief streets of the city there is no sun al all, and it is only when we strike the open spaces that we realize the brightness outside.

Among the Shoemakers.
 In the bazaar of the shoemalSers I saw scores of cobbers at work upon slippers The American shoe is practically unknown in Mohammedan countries, and the Arab gets along without shoe strings or shoe buttons. Both women and men wear slip pers, and they are always of the bright est of colors the favorite for mems wear being a lemon yellow. The man usually bends down the back of the heel and wears it under his foot. The women use only red slippers and the richer ones often have slippers of velvet embroidered with gold.
