Distribution Of Two Hundred Millions
In New York This Month.

NEW YORK. Dec. s1.-There will
be distributed during the first month
of the new year in New York City in
terest and dividends aggregating over
$500, 100000 This is the largest sum
that will ever have been paid out to
stock and bondholders in the history
OF Wall Street, and marks the end of
one of the most prosperous years in
the history of the country While the
first half of 1906 was notable for in
creased distributions to corporate
stockholders, through increased or
extra dividends, resumption of divi-
bends or beginning of dividends, the
second half of the year was even more
conspicuous in these respects. Conser-
vatism has been the rule in most of
the dividend increases. In the major
ity' of cases the increases have been
within the large surplus shown after
the payment of fixed charges.

Yakataga To The Chittyna

James Barkley who came in from Chititu recently spoke of his trip from 1akataga to the headwaters of the Nj gina made last year and meagerly re- ported at the time. He and a com pam ion named Miller had gone from Yaka taga, over Behring and Malaspira a gla ciers, to the headwaters of the Chittyna two years ago; they then ran out of grub and hit the back trail to Yakataga This back trip was accomplished in approximately eight days.
 Barkley determined 10 reach the Cop per river by this route, and being de. sirious to more fully prospect a creek which he had found on the Chittyna slope, OF his first trip, again essayed to cross this frozen waste.
 On March 2ud., 1906 Barkley, with bis partner Wm. Jefries, started from Yakataga up the Quota in small boat. From the headwaters of this river they started with four dogs for Behring gla- cier. About forty miles from the Yaka- taga side of the glacier they encosn- tered river on top of the glacier whidh they judged to be twenty five miles in length; this river emptied into lake twelve miles long near the Chittyna side, which lake, in turn was tapped by a river of considerable length which disappeared under a glacier 1t Is the opinion of Barkley tbat this river empties into the Copper at the foot of the rapids. There are brush, cottonwood and small spruce in the valley formed by these rivers grow. ing on the deposits thrown up on the glacier by the waters. There is evidence from the drifa wood thrown up that this lake was within a very few years five feet higher than it's present level. The first named river heads in the foot hill of Mt. Logan about twenty five from it's side
 The prospectors spent nearly five months prospecting along these rivers and on the headwaters of the Chittyna They struck waters running into the Chittyna twenty miles above the Tana glacier. After killing three of their dogs Barkley and his companion built boat on the head of what the Indians call Shetka creek, meaning in English Goat Creek. They boated down this this river twelve miles when they came to canyon which they could neither line nor shoot; they broke up their boat at this point and took the nails alOnp and rnushad op fo fl,a Cb;ttuoo where, near the mouth of Canyon creek, opposite Hanagita's cabin they built another boat and ran as far as
