most entirely of this nature. Some of the village schools are aided by native charity, as are also some high schools. In 1903 Mahmoud Suleiman constructed, at his own cost and endowed hberally, at Abou-Tig an industrial school in which are taught weaving. That school has now ninety-two pupils, all of whom ara receiving their training free of charge The khedive has an industrial school with POO pupils on his private estates. and there is a Mohammendan benevolent so- clety at Alexandria which has raised s5o,- 900 for an industrial school there. That school will accommodate over 300 pupils and it has now an endowment of about s4000 per year. One of the princes of the khedive's family is starting similar school in the Behera provinces and the towns of Fayoum and Beni-Suef are rais- ing money for industrial schools. There is also talk of national university along modern lines. to be supported by the gov ernment. This is favored by many Of the leading Egyptians, and Lord Cromer has advocated it in his report Of this year. It is stated that his university will hs absolutely scientific and literary, and that it's doors will be wide open to all desir- ous of learning, irrespective of their origin or religion.

GOOD TRAIL TO INTERIOR
Alfred Lowell Returns from Tyonok
 With Mail in Quick Time

Alfred Lowell returned from Tyonok Wednesday afternoon with mail from that place, Susitna station and Knik. He made the round trip in twenty three days and reports q good trail nearly all lhe way coming back. Go- inc in he had to break trail q good deal of the way. Beyond Knik the snow increased in depth and four feet lay on the ground at Susitna station. From the station to Tyonok everything was frozen solid in all the streams and swamps which make that region i'm passable except in the dead of winter.
 Lowell started from Seward the morning of January l; arrived at Knik the 9th, at Tyonok the 18th. He start ed back the 14th and with an open trail made fast mush. He reached Knlk in two days-nearly 100 miles left there the 17th and reached camp 49 the evening of the 24th.
 Two more trips will be made with the Tyonok mail, one each in February and March.

CLAIM BENCHES HOLD RICH PAY Recent Arrivals Report Remarka. bIe Discovery on Upper
 Kahiltna.
OLD CHANNEL CROSSES CREEKS
Bedrock Found at 30 to l25 Feet and Drifting Reveals Exten-
 Siye Gold Deposits.

That the main gold deposits of the upper Kahiltna region lie in an old channel which crosses the creeks and that the gold found in the creek beds is washed from the old channel is the claim of James DensmOre and his aSso- ciates who recently arrived from that locality. On this old channel, they as- sert, bedrock is at depth offrom 50 to I25 feet, usually near the latter. By drifting on bedrock from small gulch which cuts this old channel they found pay gold in every pan.
 This old channel is a dike of DOT phyry and slate and is filled with wash gravel, el,unmistakable evidence oi for mer channel to an experienced miner. Mr. DenSmore has been in Alaska min ing camps fourteen years and Is sup posed to know something about iOrma- ton. The channel cuts across the up- per end of Peters creek, Cache, Will LOW anu SeNtIdi OlutIS OI tHbpF OL which good pay was taken last season.
 DenSmore thinks the creeks will soon be famed out but the benches will offer field for hydraulic work for many years. In order to work the claims located by them his party eX- poets to dig a ditch next season tJ take water from the head of Peter, creek. The ditch will b5 four mile, long but easy to dig as there are no serious obstacles to cross. Several seward business men are inJerestec with the locators.
 On the Tokositna side of the divide, only a few miles away. a similar form ation exists and good indications were found in locations made there. From the description it appears probable that the old channel is the bed of an ancient river long since obliteraJed by upheavals or SubsidenceS which changed the general topography of the entire region.

Davis was amazed at the de- mand but immediately complied and the ships of his squadron, the battle ships Missouri and Indiana and the gunboat Yankton, immediately sailed away. Davis said he could do nothing else and uphold the dignity of the United States.
 Governor Swettenham objected to firing a salute to the American squad ron when it arrived, The governor explains his position by saying that the British government is able to guard the city properly and to give all neces- sary succor to the injured.

Washington, D. C., Jan. 24--Both houses of congress passed a resolution yesterday afternoon permitting settlers upon the public lands to leave their claims and remain away until May l5, on account of the cold weather and the difficulty of getting sufficient fuel.
 From all parts of the northwest com plaints have been coming in steadily of actual suffering among settlers and their families in localities where there is no timber. In the prairie states it is absolutely impossible to obtain coal at any price.
