MIR. FALCON JOSLYN.

Falcon Joslyn, the man who, strictly on the merits of the proposition, raised money to build the Panama Mines rail- road and then engineered its expansion into what is to become comprehensive system covering the rich territory south of the Yukon river, was on the Sarah bound to Fairbanks from the outside and was in Rampant a couple of hours last Monday. He met several acquaint- ances here and talked about his enter prise tnow known as the Panama Valley railroad), but whether he divulged any of his company's present plans or not is to this paper unknown. Anyway, that is immaterial.
 So unknown to fame was Mr. Joslyn that even to this day the newspapers of his town of Fairbanks spell his name two or three different ways Yet he saw an opportunity and in an incredibly short time interested capital an accom- plished more needed railroad construc- ton than some Alaska companies have done in lobbying and promoting for three times as long. Success in such a manner is positive proof of high order of ability.
 Among the extensions ment oned when the road was recognized under the name of the Panama Valley com pany was one from Cinema to the Yukon river at or near Rampant. Taking the recent past as criterion, if such an ex- tension is good business Mir. Joslyn will be ready to comprehend the situation and enter the open door.
 From Cinema to Rampant or to the Yukon Yukon river between tlas place and The Rapids is distance of about ninety miles. It K not a difficult coun try to build road in and nearly all the way go Rampant the country is settled and is producing an increased amount of gold each year. That however, is of little moment; for railroad from the Yukon would cut out approximately three hundred miles ot difficult nayiga- ton on the Panama and control paying traffic at least until after the country beyond Cinema undergoes collapse. Could railroad have been in operation iron the Yukon river to the mines oi the Panama ior the last three years, it would

GOBBLING THE PLACER GROUND.

In one day last week thirtythree To- cations of association claims were filed for record at the Rampant office. These claims, in most instances, contain 160 acres each. Roughly speaking, they constitute five thousand acres of land upon which individual prospectors are forbidden to enter.
 A statutory mining claim is restricted to twenty acres. Two hundred and fifty legalsized claims were therefore taken up in one day by few men-probably any manner concerned in the "owner- ship of the ground thus acquired.
 The thirty-three association claims mentioned above are here pointed out merely as an incident in the process of gobbling up the placer ground of the territory. That five thousand acres is not large in comparison with what has been and what will be taken III the same way in this district; and the whole of the Rampant district is insignificant when considered in connection with the immense areas purloined and in process of being purloined in Alaska at large
 Prospectors had as well wake up to the fact that their chances in this coun- try are already reduced to a minimum Should news be received one day that opa of tbnir pup, hor b,J fo,nI ,,ox, ;, the remotest region of the territory, within twenty-four hours agents of a few men would be on the way to seize the new field in hundreds of l60-acre blocks.
 The process is not warranted by law and is being carried to such extremes as to defeat the aims of even the men who have inaugurated it. It has cer- tainly already changed the very ideals of the average prospector, who, in- stead of searching for ground on which he can locate claim and work it him. self at a profit, now looks for creek or a river whereon he can pan enough gold to make it saleable to some new -fedged capitalist for the price of grubstake.
 An investigation into the land frauds in Alaska has lately been vaguely hinted at in various newspaper items. Should one be undertaken and honestly carried out the public records alone will furnish evidence enough to brand as criminals men who now cut considerable ice both in Alaska and at Washington.

The ship's Loo.

The ships log consists of log chin
and log line. The log chip is a piece
of board, shaped like the fourth part
of a circle, loaded with lead on the
round side, so that 1t will stand up in
the water. The log line is 100 to 200
fathoms long. 1t is wound upon large
reel, so held as to let 1t run out easily.
The line is divided into equal parts by
bits of string run through 1t, each
marked by the number Of knots in It:
hence these divisions are called knots.
The log chip when thrown into the wa
ter stands still and draws out the log
line as fast as 1t unwInds, and the
speed of the ship is shown by the num-
Der of knots that run ont in half min
ute. The usual length Of a knot is
Alb feet When 1t is known how many
Of these run out in half a minute, It is
easy to calculate how many would run
out in an hour by multiplying by 40.
