 Speaking of the Ketchikan mining district, the Miner says: "There are more men employed today in prospect ing and the work of development than there ever have been at any one time in the history of the district"
 Katalla may come to the front after all. Eastern capitalists propose to build breakwater harbor at Martin islands which will afford shelter for a fleet. The Boring lake coal fields are only twenty miles from this point.
 Wrangell complains that by reason of the accidents to the steam boats there was meat famine in that town and the people had to eat ducks and geese. That reminds us of the family that had no bread in the house and had to eat pie.
 The Miner says; "The outlook for Ketchikan is bad. A doctor, an under taker and a gravestone maker were seen in earnest consultation this morn ing, aanked by couple of attorneys. However, we will save all we can from the wreck.

Major Cum, the Fairbanks post master, who resigned all connection with the government service to take 8 chance in the race for delegateship, has been reinstated by the department, but it is not quite clear whether he will be retained As postotflce inspector or in charge of the office at Fairbanks.
 Judge Reid, at the opening session of the court at Valdez, in his charge to the grand jury gave explicit instructions to probe to the bottom of the allegations of fraud made concerning the conduct of the election at Cordova, and if evi- dence of guilt be discovered, to return indictments against the parties impli- cated.
 In the summer of 1907, when the rev enue cutter Thetis sailed for Point Barrow, she carried with her Annie Kodluklu, an Eskimo girl of more than usual capability, who had just gradu- ated from the Carlisle Indian school with honors. Annie announced that she was going back to reclaim her people from their old superstitions and crude practices and to carry to them the mes- sage of religion and civilization. A great future was prophesied for her, and much good from her work among her people was expected. Last August, when the Thetis returned to Point Bar row, the officers were interested to learn how Annie was progressing. They found her returned to the ways of her people, to their diet of blubber, their odd manner of dress, and all their na- tive ways. Her education seemed to be the least ot her concern, and so far from carrying the lessons of civilization to her people, they had succeeded in causing her to hearken to the call of the wild. It Is rumored in social circles among the Eskimos that she is soon to marry an ordinary native and give up her training, her ideals and her dreams.
 Peter Schramen left Seattle for the the Klondike in 1897, but was uuableto get through and wintered at Juneaus During the winter he made number of prospecting trips up the Taku river on the Canadian side of the line. He struck copper and gold quartz in sev- eral places, and so good did it look that he made several locations, doing the assessment in small way in the sum- mer time and working for wages in the winter. He tried to interest capital, but he was unable, and he went to Daw- son. A few years ago he removed to Fairbanks and then started 8 trading post at Shaw river on the Tanana. In the meantime he had always kept up assessment work on the claims on the Taku. This summer he received word from the men in his employ that they had struck the richest kind of ore and for him to dispose of everything and come out. Mir. Schramen, when seen at the Butler yesterday, said that he had cleared up about s20,00O on his trading and mining enterprises in the Tanans, and after all his years of labor and faith in the Taku quartz he was at last rewarded.-P.-L.

Captain Erwin Farrer, in his reply to the charges made in regard to the wreck of the Star of Bengal calls atten- tion to the fact that he reported the wreck to tho cable steamer Burnside, but the captain of that ship had to wait instructions from Washington, D. G., before he could proceed to the wrek and save lives.

It announces the official re- turns of the delegate election on August Il as follows: Wickersham, 38O2; Chil- berg, 2383; Corson, 2139; Roman, 10O7; Clum, 2S3.
 The Skagws: Alaskan grows bitterly sarcastic in regard to conditions in the Tanana. It laments that the first thought of the newly appointed judge is that he is especially commissioned to tidy up the morals of thls country, while at the same time the big monied corporations are permitted to openly defy the law in all it's forms. The ar ticle suggests that we are headed for 8 condition when nothing in the way of fun will be permitted but croquet and casino.
 The school children of Alaska will make one of the most attractive ex- hibits at the Alaska-Y Yukon-Paci1c eI- position in Seattle next summer. In addition to showing the work they do in school, the children will make col lections of the flowers and plants of Alaska, take pictures of scenes and prepare maps of various localities. This work is in addition to the displays to bo made by the pupils of the native schools. Mrs. Mary E. Hart, special commissioner, has charge of this fea- ture.
 The surveyors of the United States and Canadian governments have com' pleted the survey of the boundary be- tween the two countries from the ex- treme southeastern end of Alaska to Mt. St. Elias. It took over three years to do this work, Stone monu- ments were set to mark the boundary and trees along the line were cleared away. Maps and pictures showing scenes along the boundary will be dis played at the Alaska -Yukon-Paciflc ex- position in Seattle next summer. The survey of the boundary north of Mt. St. Elias to the Arctic Ocean will be com pleted in about two years more.

CURE BY CUTICURA AT CITY MISSION
Young Woman Found in Awful Con- dition with Scabies Body a Mass
 Sores from SCratChing-Tried
 Many Remedies for Seven Weeks Result Was Discouraging, But
ITCHING TORTURES
 YIELDED TO CUTICURA

"While was doing missionary work in the lower portion of several cities l found it necessary to know little or the efficacy of a few medicines and after a while found that little knowl- edge of Cuticura was about all needed. One of the very bad cases l had to deal with was that of O young woman who had come to us not only broken ID spirit but in a most awful condition physically. Our doctor examined her and told us that she had Scabies lthe itch). incipient paresis, rheumatisLn' etc, brought on from exposure ana the effects of her ragged-edged life. Her poor body was a mass of sores from scratching and she was not able to retain solid food. We tried many things, a good tonic was prescribed and baths with a rubbing of lard and sulphur. We worked hard for seven weeks and you can imagine how discouraged We were when. after all that time, we could sec so little improvement. One day hap pened to sec Q Cuticura advertisement telling how a little baby had been cured of a bad case of skin eruption, and although 1 had but ninety-seven cents with me. bought a cake Of Cuti- cura Soap and a bottle Of Cuticura ReSolvent. When l reached home was Ike ClllO WlJn d ucN Npg, 0iLA WV bathed our patient well and gave her full dose of the Resolvcnt. She slept that night better than she had since she had been with Us and the next day I located the pricc of Q box Of Cuticura Ointment. I am not eNaggerating when 1 say that in exactly five weeks this young woman was able to look Tor a position, being strong enough to work and full of ambition. In another month she left the home, and now has a good position in nice family where she is respected and is strong and well. You may refer any one you wish to me, personally.
