 The steamship Humboldt is schedul ed to sail from Seattle on her ole southeastern Alaska run Thursday evening, the l2 inst., at 9 o'clock.

 Walter s. Coutant, formerly of this place now of Juneau, is expected to pass through here on the Jefferson ac- companied by Mrs. Coutant. They are said to have planned to make their future home on a California ranch.
 Angling for Mountain trout is re- ported to be good in Ketchikan creek just now, and the local sportsmen are bringing in good strings and well fill ed baskets. The Miner, which has no Isaac Walton on its force, is indebted to Mir. H. c. Horsley for goodly 'ized fry of the toothsome delicacy.
 Commendable.- Mrs. English, the lady whose husband was drowned a week or two ago, is displaying con- mendable grit and determination by taking over her husbands logging contract, and undertaking to ful6ll its conditions. To this end she has en- ployed an active manager, and the necessary force of men, and they are now at ner camp actively at work get ting out the logs called for by the con- tract, to which place she has also gone to look after and care for their physical we'll being in the capacity of cook. She is of the kind of women we have in this section of Alaska.
 The Jefferson is likely to be detain- ed day or more at Skagway, because of couple cases of glanders which developed after she had left Seattle, the horses not having been properly or fully inspected. This will necessi- tate the Immigration of the ship before she sails again from Skagway, and she may not therefore leave here on her return voyage until Thursday.
