Carved the Corpse to Fit the
 Barrel.

Many old-timers arrived on the steamer Dora from the west. In dis cussing events which happened years ago, along the Alaska peninsula, many gruesome tales are told, not all of which are creatures of the imagination. One old sourdough vouches for this story says the Seward Gateway:
 An uncanuy event happened some years ago at a cannery, the name ot which it is unnecessary to print. A lot of Chinamen were employed then, as now, to clean and can the salmon. The contract under which these Celestials were engaged required the company to return them from whence they came, dead or alive, as the bones of the de- ceased must be returned to China for final interment.
 Running by this cannery Is stream which has it's origin in a mountain near by. This creek cuts copper deposit or ledge and the poisonous metal con- taminates the waters percolatlng through it. often dealing death to any one assuaging his thirst from its de ceiving depths.
 One day sixteen of the heathens curl ed up and died, presumably from drink ing the poisonous waters. The foreman was in quandary as to what to do with the remains, as no boxes were available in which to ship them to Frisco. Some enc suggested salmon barrels would be a good substitute for boxes. It was found that the barrels were too short to contain the entire body so it became necessary to carve a corpse in several pieces. One of the employees would take an inanimate, nude form, hold the head, the body and limbs lying on a solid block of wood. Another fellow would take an ax and cut off the lower limbs, thus reducing the corpse to a size which would fit the barrel. This accomplished, the remains were duly salted, and sent to the place from whence the victim had departed in life a couple of months before.

Satanic Editors

A Portland minister handled the ed itors of the country very roughly in a sermon which he delivered before his congregation in that city last Sunday. He took for his theme "In His Steps, or What Would Satan Do If He Were An Editor" While the Holy Man dallied with his dissertation the newspaper men got at least whiff of the sulphur that is said to abound in the region through which flows the StyX.
 This man of the Lord in his sermon mapped out just what the devil would do if he were in charge of newspaper plant and had with him the office devil and, curiously enough, his Satanic Maj esty, according to the preacher, would not make many changes from the man. ner in which 1t is being run today. Now there may be something in this minis ter mans talk after all, for we have found that, while claiming no conuec- tion with him, we sometimes have a devil of time getting out a paper. That minister painted the vileness of the vocation so luridly that it forced us to pick up our little broken looking glass and peek timidly therein to ascer- tain if we were not indeed endowed with horns, and with a mighty effort we glanced behind us to ascertain, for sure, if we did not have attached to us a barbed tail and afterwards peeped slyly at our feet to see if they were not of cloven shape-certainly the preach CTS outburst will make the editors of the country sorely grieved when they begin to think what bad lot they are. The good man got warmed up towards the latter part of his sermon and rapp- ed off the following final knock;
 "In my humble judgment the devil will not assume the editorial chair in this osuntry for he is too we'll repre- sented there to care for any change, so far as reform measures and religious teachings are concerned" And further, "It would be unfair to say that all pa pers are equally guilty, but of daily that meets the ethical requirements of a christian home, the speaker has no knowledse."
 To be sure these editors are bad lot, but, all in all, they will average along fairly evenly with the preachers. Exchange.

The months of July and August have marked distinct epoch in the history of Seward and the Kenai peninsula, in that mineral deposits of large extent and of commercial value have been dis covered. While it was generally thought that minerals and metals existed in these parts, no one had any conception that such large ore bodies as have re- gently been found lay so near the town. It has been demonstrated that copper zone exists, beginning at Cape Resur- rection, on the east shore of Resurrec- tion bay, and running northward at least fifteen miles, and perhaps further as the country north is as yet unex- plotted
