your pencil. Don't spend your time
telling stories or jokes. If your en-
ployer doesn't give you anything IN

at some thing. Show your interest
in the business, and show it actively.

MIDDLETON SMITH TELLS
 OF HIS ISLAND KINGDOM

F. V. Smith better known as 'NIiddleton Smith" is in town with a load of fox skins from his ranch on Middleton Island. Smith and his foxes are the sole inhabitants of this fertile little island, which is on the open ocean just outside of Prince William sound. There is little gold in the beach sand and at times he works a rocker, but there is not enough pay to justify any great amount of work. At the present time the gardon on the island is as far advanced as those in the states, the climate being very mild. Smith says that he located the wreck of the Discovery last fall, on a rock about fifteen miles from Middle ton, where the boiler and machinery were visible at low tide. The boat evidently broke her back on this rock and sunk immediately.-Valdez Pros pectOr.

RUIN PILEDRIvER
 WITH DYNAMITE
MOrriSOn'S Men at Katalla Wreck Machine Belonging to
 Rogers Outfit.

MorriSon'S men at Katalla blew up a piledriver belonging to the Rogers crowd Thursday afternoon, just to show that the society of the latter was disagreeable and their operations off, fensive to the rival outgt. Nobody was hurt but the piledriver was wreck ed. This was the status when the Yucatan came away that evening.
 The dynamite was touched off short ly after 6 o'clock and the engineer of the piledriver narrowly escaped death as he had returned for some purpose and was only 100 feet away when the explosion came. He claims to have identified four men as the perpetrators and their arrest seemed probable when the steamer left.
 Gangs of men attached to the rival companies have been touching off fire crackers from time to time to make their opponents uneasy and interfere with their work. It is stated that most of thas has been done by men em- ployed by Morrison, or Bruner crowd, although some reports say the Rogers men have indulged in the same tactics. Whenever one gangapproached closely to where the other party were en- gagged the first corners would put few strcks of powder in the ground near their opponents and run away with the usual warning yell. This tended to make the intruderS nervous and prevent them from dolng any work.
 It is claimed by the Morrison party that the Rogers company is encroach- ing on the right of way of the former and the temporary injunction issued a short time ago was obtained upon that claim.

WILL LEAD WORLD IN
 ECONOMIC PRODUCTION

Prince William sound presents a better combination of resources for the economical production of copper than almost any other copper field of the world, in the opinion of Prof. w. O.. Crosby, geologist of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who says;
 "It would be difficult to find dis trict presenting more favorable gen eral conditions for the economic pro- duction of copper. Among these con- ditions are: Large and regular ore bodies, uniformity of geologic struc- ture, cheap transportation and sup plies, proximity to the finest coal fields on the Pacific Coast, abundance of timber, water and water power, and mild, invigorating climate"

Judge WiCkerSham'S Decision in Berner'S Bay Mine Case
 Suits People.
VAST PROPERTY LONG TIED UP
During litigation Receivers In- creased Indebtedness from
 S5OO,OOO to $I,OOO,OOO.

Judge WickerSham's decision in the everlasting Berner's Bay mine case seems to suit most people ip South eastern Alaska, whether it is right or wrong. It is possible that the re- ceivers and attorneys who have been living off the case for ten years are dissatisfied. The court cut down several claims for fees.
 The Berner's Bay mine litigation has been pending since a receiver was appointed ten years ago. In that time the indebtedness has increased from $500 GOO to Sl, ,OOO,OOO and the property has been practically unproductive. It is believed to be of almost fabulous value and if made a large producer will add greatly to the prosperity Of Juneau. The Record-Miner gives the substance of the decision as follows;
 "The main issue involved was the right of priority between the mort gage bonds and the receivers certit- cates and incidentally the priority be- tween the three issues of receivers certificates. Added to these was the general management of the affairs of the company by the receivers during the past ten years to pass upon. The decision was carefully prepared document covering twenty typewrit- ten pages of matter.

Says Quiet Stampede Has Been 6O- ing Into Regions for Several
 Weeks from Yukon Side.
CFairbauk, Ncws)

Kaltag, Alaska. April 2j-Ouc miner with a two-pound poke of dust, several others who have purchased heavy out fits, for which they have paid gener- ously in native gold, and the dat state ments of several others who have come out of the district, indicate that pay streak of proportions has been struck in the Innoko river country ana that there iS good reason for the quiet stampede which has been on into that section for several weeks past
 Pay was struck in the Innoko last September by John Mackey, Fred Spencer, Mike Roki and Tom Gaines.
 It was struck on Gaines creek, tributary to the south fork of the Lnno- ko, which heads in the Kuskokwim mountains.
 After making the discovery in Sep tember last the men named sluiced for eight days and cleaned up $500. Then cold weather ended their operations.
 At that time several other holes were being put down, but only discoy- cry had been bedrocked.
 Those who have come out are very secretive, and give it out that while the country is good, there is no reason for stampede.
 All of the ground that looks good, say they, has been staked by steamboat crews who have come across from the Kuskokwim river, where their boats are wintering in the ice
 The diScoverers on Gaines creek went into the district last year with polling boat and were able to ascend Gaines creek to discoveryin in that craft. Gaines creek is about thirty miles long. The Innoko itself is declared to be navigable to small river steamers as far up as the mouth of Gaines creek during the high water period.
 The Innoko river heads in behind the Kaiyuh mountains, its waters ly- ing between that range and the Kus- kokwim mountains. The waterway in- to the Innoko is by way of Shagaluk slough, through which part of the waters of the Innoko flow into the Yu- kon 100 miles above Anvik.
 There is also an Indian summer trail into the headwaters of the stream, which leaves the Yukon few miles below Nulato and drops into the eX- treme headquarters of the Innoko over easy divides.
 Five dog-team outfits and an outfit from Nome were the last prospecting expeditions to go in. They went in couple of weeks ago.
