Survey Of General Situation and Study of Falls and Cooper
 Greeks Induce Decision.

That the indications of vast gold de- posits adjacent to the Alaska Central railroad are superior to the surface showings in the bonanza district of Nevada and to most of the rich camps of Colorado is the assertion of J. w. Richards, Colorado mining man of twenty-eight years residence in that state, who has spent good deal of time in Nevada since the discoveries of the present decade have fixed eX- traordinary interest upon that region.
 Mir. Richards and R. H. Waring came to Seward about two weeks ago to investigate mining prospects in this vicinity. They have made a thorough examination of Falls creek properties and of the Cooper creek hydraulic ground of the Kenai Mining & Milling Company. They regard both as probable bonanzas. The Cooper creek property, they agree with local mining men who have studied it, is past the experimental stage. Of it Mir. Richards said:

 Habitatlon.

Mary de Bones, of 29O Wooster street, has q predeliction for breaking up the quarters of her husband, with whom she has not been living for some time. The predeliction proved dangerous last night, for it landed her in the custody of the police. Mary's husband came to this city from Bridgeport and estab- lished at 12 Prindle alley a house that acquired an unsavory reputation. Mary took the part of the breaker-up of things evil. Now, it appears, De Bones has changed the character of his place. But Mary is of unchanging disposition and last evening undertook a window smashing campaign at No. 12, in conse- quence of which she was arrested by Officers McAvoy and O'Brien and will appear in court this morning on a harge of breach of the peace.

 Enjoy Themselves Sundays.

Philadelphia, Nov 20.-''If Phila- delphia preachers would come down to League island navy yard and in- yestigate this Sunday sport question before they talk of gross violations of Sunday laws, they would be able to tell a different story" This was the reply in an interview of Rear Ad- miral Pendleton, commandant of the League island navy yard, to resolu- tion adopted by the Presbyterian min isters of this city, crtitcising the na- val authorities for permitting Sunday sports and Sunday dancing at the navy yard. The admiral declared that he would not for moment in terfere with the liberty of the sailors on shore or on ship and if they had amusements on Sunday it was better than to be floating around the city to be made the victims of interruptions persons The admiral said he had no knowledge of the reported danc- ing on board two of the battleships last Sunday and added:
 "The men have their pianos and want music. It is perfectly natural that such visiting day as Sunday is should be the signal for some so- cial enjoyment. Suppose, then, that these men, having young women with them, place their arms around the wpmen's waists for little whirl around. Does that call for protest td the president?"
