EXJenSlVe COaL mlueS VIII Ue opeia1- ed on Kachemak bay next year if pres ent developments are continued and the plans for handling heavy output are carried out. An output of 5000 to 4,000 tons a day next year is promised by George w. Ross, head of the syndi- cate which has acquired large area of coal lands along the bay. Bunkers will be erected at Homer sufficient to load daily output of several thousand tons besides storing enormous stocks. MT. Ross expects to find his chief market in San Francisco. He says coal can be hauled on barges to San Francisco for S1.5O ton. The syndicate which is working at Homer IS composed of Michigan coal men. This syndicate has purchased all the property of the old Cook Inlet Coal Company, which opened mines in 1899 and built nar- row guage railroad about eight miles long from Homer up the sandspit. The company went into bankruptcy and it's property was sold under an order of the United States district court of West Virginia, iu which state the com pany was incorporated. From the pur- chaser at the bankrupt sale the proper ty passed to James H. Caldwell, of Pennsylvania, and from him to the Ross syndicate The property owned by the old company included coal lands, the railroad, rolling stock, ma chinery and the townsite of Homer. The coal at Homer is of good quality. 1t is said to be of better grade than the average coal mined in the state of Washington. It is first-class heating coal and in burning leaves few clinkers.
 Jack Hines, former member of the Nome Nuggets staff, has written that paper some letters from New York about people and events in the eastern metropolis interesting to far northern : CTS on account of their relation to mat ters in Alaska. Here is an incident re- lated in one of the letters that will make good with any hard-luck story of the year:
 "A few days ago Denny Blakely, Harry Walters, George Borchsenins and myself were summoned to appear be- fore the stockholders of the old Alaska Gold Mining Company. You remember it-Ed Waggaman's proposition. We sat on one side and the capitalists on the olher-the old colonel in the mid dle. He started off this way:
 "Geutlemeu, I've asked you to come here and speak before these gentlemen the men who put up the money for my exploiting in Alaska, and who say l robbed them and did not at any time act in good faith. Now, I've not very many years to live, and l want this one thing squared up before 1 die.'
 "They had an attorney who quizzed us each, separately, anent our knowl- edge of the old Alaska Gold Mining Company's ground, which comprised all of the beach lines back of Nome. We all told conservatively of the value of that property, and when asked to ballot an estimate of the possible cash value the average of four guesses was seventy-three million dollars. We'll, sir, the old sports just wept to think that few thousands more would have given them the bulk of this fortune.
 "The capitalists showed in many ways their humiliation and only wanted some things to prove to the colonel that they were ready to make good and back him for any amount"

Ground breaking ceremonies for the Alaska Yukon-Pa Exposition were held June l, just two years before the fair will open.
 The prize of $500, offered for the of fcial design for the Alaska. Yukon-Pa- cific Exposition was awarded to Miss Adelaide Hanscom, Seattle artist.
 The Administration building for the Alaska-Yukon-Paci Exposition will be finished August l5. The executive offices of /the fair will probably be moved to the grounds about September l.
 An emergency hospital will be one of the first buildings erected at the Alas ka-Yukon-Pacific Exposition. While the construction work is going on work men who are injured or taken sick will be cared for, and during the Exposition it will be used to take care of visitors who become i'll or are hurt.
 The official flag of the Alaska-Yukon- Pacific Exposition has been selected. The color scheme is red, white and blue. Five stars on blue field stand for the United States, Russia, France, England and Spain, the five countries which first explored the territory included in the scope of the Exposition. Mrs. Henry E. Reed, wife of Director of EX. ploitation Reed, designed the flag. Mrs. Reed also arranged the official flag for the Lewis and Clark Exposition.
 According to the reports of some of the Koowuk natives, says the Point Hope correspondent of the Nome Mug get, lynx are very fond of hawks, and have their own methods of capturing those birds. They dig hole in the snow and then crouch down in it, leav- ing only small portion of their tail exposed. The small stump of tail is then vigorously shaken. The hawks attention is attracted, and, thinking 1t has discovered a ptarmigan, it swoops down and captures the tail. The lynx then springs up and captures the hawk before it has time to escape.
 The report that all work had stopped on the Alaska Central R. R., seems to be disputed by the following from re- cent issue of the Seward Gateway: Watson & Snow will soon complete the 12O-foot truss across Placer river on the railroad loop. This will be the second Howe truss to be completed this spring though it is the third on the line, being on the backward turn of the loop. The second on the line lies farther down the river. It will be 90-foot span. Tracklaying has been delayed a few days by gravel slide in the deep cut on mile 50, but will begin about next Monday.
 / Late reports from the Innoka are that nothing has been found so far other than bar diggings, Some good pans have been taken out, and the gen. eral appearance of the country is good from a prospector's standpoint. The actual diggings are well into the noun tains where rimrock shows and where it is from ' to 12 feet to bedrock. Mug gets have been taken out weighing as high as S16O, but the average pannings do not show anything better than a little better than wages. The whole country is staked. Crowds of people have rushed there from surrounding camps and from Nome.

John H. Bruck, of the signal service, has been transferred from Valdez to Juneau.
 The body of Engineer Teller, who was drowned last fall in Boring lake, has been recovered.
 Alfred Doring was injured by pre- mature blast at Knight island and died at the Valdez hospital.
 All indictments against Editor Hen ry have been dismissed. This is the man who was "chained to the deck"
 Lee Van Slyke, of Vaughn, Wash, has been appointed U. s. Commission CT at Cordova, vice John Burton, re- signed.
 It is probable that the road to Bear river from Seward will be constructed this summer by the Alaska road com mission.
 The Arctic Brotherhood, an order composed of men who have been in Al aska and the Yukon, will erect a hand some building at the Alaska-Yukon- Pacific Exposition and install an inter- esting exhibit.
 The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad will be running trains into Se- attle by the time the aska-Yukon-Pa- cifc Exposition opens, June l, 19O9 With the other transcontinental and local roads, facilities for handling the crowds will be excellent.
 The reported sale of the Ellamar mine to H. c. Elliott is said to be only an advertising scheme. Elliott has an option on the mine for S1,000000 and S20O,OO0 in stock of a company he pro pesos to organize. He is now in New York trying to finance a company to buy the Ellamar and other properties.
 A plan is on foot by Fasteners to construct fleet of houseboats on Lake Washington. upon the shores of which the Alaska-Yukou-Pacitic Exposition is situated, for the use of visitors in 1909. Eastern and Middle Western peo pie are expected to take kindly to the innovation. They may spend the en- tire summer in the open at little eX- pense.
 The deal for the sale of the Beatson mine on Latouche island fell through because the proposed purchasers want ed to pay only 10 per cent down and the remainder on easy miscellaneous, practically making it long time op- tion which would have enabled che new owners to take all but the first pay ment out of the mine and to drop the property at any time they might be so disposed. The price agreed upon was S7, ,5OO0OO instead of S5,000,000 as it was formerly reported.
 There are some misguided people who have had the temerity and the au- dacity to poke fun at the city of Vic toria, B. O., saying that the place was slow and the people half asleep. Just read the following and be persuaded otherwise: "Victoria, B. C., has pecu- liar municipal franchise. Each person paying two dollar dog tax is entitled to vote. Six enterprising' ladies voted on the strength of a single dog. One ingenious lady, unable to get areal dog in time to qualify, took out a license for china dog on her mantel piece."- Glasgow Herald and Weekly Dispatch.
