Our new depot is fast approach

month will be ready for occupancy.
The dirty stone walls Of the old sec
ton were thoroughly cleaned this
week, and are now as bright as the
walls Of the new part. The cleaning
process was a novel one. being ac-
complished by forcing fine sand
through a rubber hose and hooked
nozzle with compressed air. Some
sections of the rubber hose had to be
renewed many times daily, not be
ing able to Withstand the force of

lasted about three hours usually.

The receipts of the street carnival,
it is estimated, will average about
5000 per day for the six days. or a
total of $4,000. The doctors receive
ten per cent of the gross receipts
which will give them $3.50 for the
hospital fund. They also receive
fifty per cent of the concessions, and
it is probable they will clean up
about $500.

from the narrows near Saxman. He in-
forms the Miner reporter that among
the red salmon delivered to him yester-
day were two Of thirty pounds each
bearing the mark of the Columbia river
hatchery, and evidently six or seven
years old. He says that he is we'll ac-

ring. The passengers in the bow Of the
ship who saw the mix-up are of the
opinion that it was lady whale be-
cause it did not turn and roar like
man who had been tipped over by

that they detected symptoms of phys

The gold product of Alaska last year
was more than S21, 100000, and the esti-
mates for the present year have been
placed at no less figure than $50 0o0, 600.
1t is not good plan to count chickens
before they are hatched. If conditions
are favorable Alaska may produce $780,
100000 of gold this year. But / have
lived iu the Northland long enough to
know something about the unforeseen
obstacles and difficulties that are en-
countered in this country. / believe it
will not be many years before the gold
mines of Alaska will yield an annual
product valued at S50,00o,0o0 or more.
But Alaska may not produce THE year
greater amount than she produced
last year. The labor question in Alas
ka is in an unsettled condition. The
effect of strikes up to date will materi-
ally curtail the seasons gold output.
Unless these labor troubles are satis
factorily and speedily adjusted, Alas
ka's gold product for the year 1907 may
not be so large as it was last year. A
message comes from Fairbanks that
the mines of that country will not yield
more than 100000 if the labor ques-
tion remains unsettled But whether
Alaska produces thousand ounce,
million ounces or FIVE million ounces
of gold this year does not alter or in
any way impair the fact that there Is
that much gold and very much more in
the developed and partially developed
placer mines of Alaska, and that this
gold will be extracted whenever the
conditions are favorable.-Alaska-Yu-
