Topography of Douglas Is-
 land.
BY ARTHUR c. SPENCER.


 Lying opposite Juneau, Douglas Is- land is separated from the mainland by Gastineau channel, narrow coastwise passage from one-half to one mile in width. It is separated from Ad- miralty Island, lying to the west, by Stephens Passage. The length of the Island is approximately + miles. North west of line from Juneau to Hilda Point it's width is about ' miles, but toward the southeast it narrows rapidly through the eastward retreat of it's out CT shore line to Tantallon Point, about g miles southwest of Juneau.
 Tidal flats opposite the northwest corner of the Island are laid bare at low water, so that one may walk across the delta of Mendenhall River. It is evident that the wash from this stream has silted up rock channel of consid- erable depth.
 The island is roughly mountainous, the general elevation of the backbone being above 2,5O0 feet, while occasional heights rise from 800 to 500 feet higher. The main divide is not symmetrically placed, but lies near the outer side of the island, so that most of the drainage flows into Gastineau Channel. Below Hilda Point the steep mountain wall which rises from Stephens Passage is merely corrugated by the shallow gulch, while on the slope toward Cas- tineau Channel the drainage lines are we'll marked and the streams flow in deeply cut trenches separated by bold ridges which run out from the main mountain crest.
 Toward the northern end of the is- land the oblique valley of Fish Creek cuts almost through the range, the pass at it's head being in line with the main water parting, but at an elevation 1,5OO feet less than that of the neighboring summits. The mountains on the upper end of the island are thus separated in- to two groups, the larger of which forms the islands western wing.
 Fish Creek is more than miles long, the other streams draining into Gastin- eau Channel varying from mile to nearly 4 miles in length. The waters of all except those near the southwest end of the island are collected for use in the stamp mills at Treadwell, about IS miles of Hume having been constructed for this purpose. The supply, though insufficient for all purposes, still ma- terially decreases the coal consumption by furnishing power during about eight months of the year.
 A marked topographic feature of the inland side of the island is rude bench of irregular height lying In front of the steep mountain slopes which be- gin half a mile or so back of the shore. Near the Treadwell mines the shore ward edge of this platform, about 300 feet in height, is rather sharply defined, but elsewhere the foreland profile is graded slope up to 500 or 600 feet, above which begins the abrupt rise to the ridges lying between the streams.
 It may be suggested, in explanation of the unsymmetrical development of the drainage on the two sides of Doug las Island, that the controlling factors have been the greater efficiency of eros

ion on the north slopes during the period of gIaciation. The inland side of the island faces northeast and the streams have been eroded as if in obe- dience to the law referred to. In ad- dition, it is to be noted that no one of the streams on this side of the island has a straight course at right angles to the shore, but each valley turns gradu- ally toward the left as one goes up- stream, and their upper courses lie al most invariably in north and south direction.

Placer mining in full sight of Daw- son is being carried on on the Yukon river, directly opposite the north end of town. The West Dawson group is being ground sluiced and gravel is being washed. The gravel along the river bank which has been cleaned and run over for years by the river at high water is being washed and it is calcu- lated that it will average three cents to the pan and yield at least SIP day to the shovel. As high as 30 cents has been secured in some of the pans. The water for the work is being lifted from the Yukon with the aid of water wheel, provided with buckets. The wheel is a wooden creation, on an iron axle or shaft. The wheel is sixteen feet in diameter and the axle is twelve feet long. Eight strong arms are provided on the wheel, and on each is attached trough-like box foot deep and foot thick and eight inches long. The wheel is propelled by the current of the Yukon. The structure rests on a pontoon, which rises and falls with the river. The water pours from the buck cts as they turn over in revolution. Each bucket has an incline toward the shore. This throws the water shore ward and intola hopper on the shore side. From this hopper it drains through canvas Hume hose, which ad- justs itself to any stage of the wheel as raised or lowered by the condition of the eYukon. Leaving the Hume hose the water runs into sluice boxes. A sluicehead of water is carried now, and the capacity of the wheel is to be in- creased.

CAMPAIGN PLACARD

A report has been put into cir-
culation that at some time in the
past The GAZETTE advocated the
deportation of colored people from
the United States. Of course the
reason for this report is obvious.
The editor of this paper is g can
didate for office, and such report
ia intended to influence the colored
voters. Asa matter of fact, such
a position has never been taken by
THE GAZETTE, certainly not under
the present management. But on
the contrary, the policy of this
paper has always been to give de-
serving praise to the colored peo'
nile. ss an examination of our files
will show. Worthy people OF
whatever race or creed can always
expect proper commentator In
the columns of our paper. Any one
interested in knowing the position
of The GAZETTE on this or on any
other subject is invited to examine
our files.
The only conceivable basis fol
such criticism of THE GAZETTE
| would consist in a garbled and alb
solutely unwarranted interpreta'
ton of an article published Au'
gust 10, 1908, which was merely
a synopsis of an editorial taker
from the Richmond Times-Dls
match, in which were discussed
some proposed solutions of thu
problems which criminal class
BY 40 means representative OF tn
colored race as whole, ma
forced upon the best element o
their own race. The attitude o
this best element, as shown ia tn
resolutions adopted by the colore'
people of Lexington and publishes
by us last week, is just as pro
nounced as the position taken b
the Times-Dispatch, which W
merely quoted.
