rank sacrilegs. He must experience the poignant pain of resing his pet image of @ false god shattered=-and there is no time like the present for handing out experience to the misguided individual who SO greatly needs it,"
 Jorgen Berg and Christ Wedo brought
 into town, Monday, the finest specimens I of galena ore eyer exhibited here. They
 found it while prospecting on Aaron's
 Greek, about twenty miles down the
 back channel. The ledge from which it was taken is situated about four miles
 from the beach and Is reached by tra- versing a very level country. An idea of the nature of the country may be formed from the fact that the two men
 built three miles of good trail in two days. They do not know the width of
 the ledge, having put in but one blast, but it's length was traced for consider able distance along the surface. The Ketchikan Miner says that J. R. Hickman has thus far taken out of his floating trap at Point Higgins, 400 900 salmon, and has S0,000 more in its re- serve pocket waiting to be taken out. MT. Hickman eays he could just az eas- fly have taken out three quarters of million had he been prepared to handle the fish from the trap to the cannery, but that as matters now stand he has no fear of being unable to make as large 6 pack-S5, ,000 cases-as he had made pre-. parations for before the salmon run be, gan. He now has pack of 65, ,000 cases and is handling 10000 fish a day.
 Work was temporarily suspended on the Basin properties, the middle of last week, and tho force all came to town. In conversation with Mir. Watson, re. porter WAS informed that for the present at least, no more work would be done; that owing to the late disappearance of the snow, the work so far had been an uphill proposition, and not enough had been accomplished to tell accurately of the values contained in the properties. MT. Hopkins, one of the moving spirits ia the purchase of these claims, Mir. Watson says, is expected here about the first of September.
 The smallest man in Alaska lives in Wrangell. Last spring he defaced a new sign for Bruno Greif; later be wrote an anonymous letter to the federal euthori- ties in Juneau, alleging that Greif was conducting a gambling hell and selling liquor to minors and Indians; one night last week he amused himself by throw ing overheard empty beer kegs for which Greif is responsible to the brewery in Seattle. And all these sneaking and cowardly actions in spite of the fact that there is no more whole-souled, generous or public-spirited citizen in Wrangell than Bruno Greif.
 Capt.'s I. M. Hofstad, Cyrus Orr and - Skog have discovered and located an immense body of rich copper ore on Chicsgoff Island. They have traced it over three thousand feet in length. In one place the ledge was uncovered across for distance of twelve feet with ore still in eight. The property is about two miles from salt water in fine har- Dor. An excellent water power and an abundance of tim Der are in the vicinity From an assay made, the values run high. No doubt it will be great min ing camp in the near future.
