 So the white citizens of Alaska have some rights which they did not know they possessed. Upon them de- wolves the pleasant duty of caring for the indigent Alaskan Indians? Of course they are denied any authority in the government of the Indians they cannot assume to manage their affairs. They cannot do anything to induce the Indians to save their money and buy the necessities of life with it, instead of hootch. They can do mo- thing to protect themselves against Indian improvdence. But they have the glorious privilege of paying for their care when i'll and of feeding them when they are out of grub. -Ex.

Seattle, June 13.-A crazy man, heavily armed walked into Chief of Police Wappenstein's office last night and presenting pistol at the chief s head told him that he had come to kill him. Fortunately Wappenstein kept his wits about him, and inviting the maniac to take q chair suggested that it would be a good scheme to kill the clerk first. This the fellow decided to do and turning his back on Wappenstein started out of the room to look for the clerk, telling Wappenstein that he would return to fix him as soon as he had disposed of the other fellow. As soon as the mad man started to leave the room Wap- penstein nailed him from behind and pulled him to the floor, assistance arrived in time to help the man up and he is now in the county jail awaiting examination as to his sanity Chief Wappenstein says that he never knew before just how big revolver muzzle could look and is wondering whether his hair will turn gray or not. He says it stood on end like a brush and hated to lie down again even after the man was down and out

KETCHIKAN
Local Happenings of the Past Seven Days Tersely
 Told.
FROM THURSDAYS DAILY

Completed. The portage road has been completed and the whole outfit of men, horses, etc., were brought over this morning from the head of Cholmondeley sound, on scow lowed by the Vigilant. Superintendent Putnam made quick dispatch of the job, and that he did good work is made manifest by the fact that the outfit, being at the west end at the time the work was completed, every thing was hauled over the entire length of the road in one trip of the teams which had been epmloyed on the work From here the outfit, to- gether with the men who may be re- tained, will go north on the Humboldt Saturday, part to be employed in the construction of a road from Kluk- wan to Pleasant Camp in the Porcu- pine district. About b miles of this road will be new construction, and about 8 miles repairs on an old road built by the Canadians prior to the settlement of the boundary question. The other part will go to Circle City to be employed in road and trail con- struction from that place into the Forty mile district.
 The Humboldt sailed for the north from Seattle at one o'clock this morn 1 ing, should arrive here about a. m. 1 Saturday. The Alki sailed at f. m. and will arrive in Ketchikan Sunday.
 Right Rev Innocent, bishop of the Russian church for Alaska, was pas 1 senger north on the Jefferson this morning.
 D. G. Newell went over to Karta bay. Saturday, to do development work on copper properties there.
 Sam Silverman returned to Seattle on the Dolphin, after visit to his properties, the Stevenstown and l Uncle Sam mines near Hadley.
 "Dick" Nuckolls is home again from his Karta Bay mining properties. He reports everything there in first class shape.
 l The Humboldt had the destinction, Saturday, of carrying the first batch of treasure from the interior this season. The purser had in his safe pokes aggregating S530, GOO. She had 60 passengers from interior points.
 The Halvard got away for Mt. Andrew yesterday afternoon where she expectes to get load of ore for the Britannia shelter. It is doubtful, however, if she will be able to get full load there as the aerial tram from the mine to the beach is out of commissioner cable broken-and there is but 1900 tons in the bunkers.
 The gasolene launch Wildwood left for Cuckoo Harbor, Dall Island, this morning with a party of prospectors who will explore that part of the island
 $. J. Goodro, of Karta Bay, came over from his promising property yesterday, and will stay in Ketchikan a day or two.

THE MINES
What the Mines and Miners of This District Are DOing...Cheer.
 ing Prospects Ahead.

It is altogether pleasant to see and hear of ships clearing from this port with cargoes of gold-copper ore, some of them embracing as much as 2,o00 tons. The Halvard, which cleared on Thursday, the 18th, took l, loo tons from the Rush and Brown, and 1, 400 tons from the Mt. Andrew: in- deed, the Halvard, and her sister ship, the Haldis, both of which are plying regularly in the Ketchikan ore carrying trade and making fort nightly round trips, seldom, if ever clear with less than ?, 300 tons each, consigned to British Columbia smell ters. The progress, therefore being made in the way of development, not withstanding the handicap of a lack of fuel essential to local mining and smelling operations, is altogether encouraging. An estimated produc- tion of 20o, GOO tons for the present year would be entirely within bounds certainly not in the least extrava gant, in view of the fact that the mines are now producing at that rate and gradually increasing their monthly output This ore may con- fidentlv be expected to average rot less than 1 per cent copper, equal to Is, Goo, ,000 pounds of refined metal, worth, at the present market price of copper, B, POO, GOO, exclusive of the gold values it may be found to con- tain. Another year this production, considering the present rate of deyel- opment of the mines now in successful operation together with the new ones certain to be added to thier number, will be doubled.
 The shipments from the Mt. Andrew in the month of May aggre- gated 6, loo tons, to which the l 100 tons taken by the Halvard should of right be added, as it was mostly min ed in that month and it's shipment de- layed for want of transportation. This mine had been, up to the first of the month, producing at the rate Of To tons per day, but was compelled, for the reason stated, to reduce the daily product not more than loo tons. Assured the necessary transportation, it can easily mine and send to the bunkers for shipment monthly product of at least 1000 tons.
The Ketchikan miner., 1907-06-15

Developments at and about Karta bay continue to strengthen the already well founded belief that that particular section is certain to prove one of Ihe richest and most profitable mining camps in either this or any other part of Alaska. New finds of high grade ore continue to be of somewhat .regu- lar occurrence, and the work thus far accomplished affords ample evidence that the deposits are so extensive as to be inexhaustable within the life- time of any person now living.
The Ketchikan miner., 1907-06-15

The Hadley shelter has again been compelled to temporarily suspend operations for the want of coke, though it is still receiving ore from the Mamie, Stevenstown, Uncle Sam. and one or two other mines that are just entering upon the stage of sue cessful development, among the latter the Hydah at karta Bay, The recent Change of control of the Brown Alaska mining and smelling enter prise will it is confidently believed conduct much to the advantage of those particular industries not only, but to the general benefit of the dis trict as a whele.
The Ketchikan miner., 1907-06-15

Altogether, the prospects for the not be more encouraging. Indeed. all indications seem to point with unerring certainly to it's speedy devel- opment into one of the most prolific an profitable mining districts in this, or any other country.
