Alfred Brooks, in charge of the U. $. geological survey, made an address be. fore the American Miniug Congress at Pittsburg. He gave an interesting ac- count of the geological structure of Alaska, described the mineraliZed re- gions and took occasion to say that the Alaska coal is the best west of the Rockies, and very plentiful, with only the one handicap of lack of tra nsporta. tion facilities.

 Eli Smith and number of others are prospecting on the Arctic slope, op- posite the head of the Porcupiue river, aud from reports brought out last sum- mer it is expected they will find good pay there this winter. In fact gold al- ready has been struck on Firth river, one of the streams which they are pros- pecting, and it is hoped by the pros- pectors that they will find enough of the yellow metal to create diggings. Smith is backed by Daniel Cadzow, the Rampant House trader. August Thomp- son, of Dawson, is with Cadzow this winter at Rampant House, and may cross to Firth river and engage in pros. pecting. Wada, the plucky Jap musher, started for Firth river last spring, and hoped to get there by taking a whaler from Nome. It is not known yet whether he reached his destination or not. The big companies have looked wistfully toward the Porcupine for years as the possible center of another great gold strike.
 A reader of the Ketchikan Miner wants to know if it expects to always tell the truth in recording all matters of local interest. To this in. uuiry The Miner answers an emphatic no. The Miner will simply continue the manner and style of all successful newspapers and will deal in only what it considers clean and reliable news items of general interest. If the news. papers publish half the stuff they hear there would be ten divorce suits to one now. There would be social ostracism of many who now shine in the four hundred. There would be shotgun matinees, lynching bees, hatchet par ties, imprisonment, desolation and misery. An editor learns of nearly all the sin and hypocrisy of life and it is a wonder he believes in man or woman, witch or devil, heaven. or he'll. Many people are continually finding fault with the newspapers when as matter of fact they owe their very standing in the community to the editors waste . basket.

The Skagway Alaskan defends Gov ernor Hoggatt from the attacks of his defamers who are jumping on to him because he used the word "avocation" in his Thanksgiving proclamation, where he meant "vocation."

 The steamer Northland, of the Ketch- ikan S. s. Co.,, has been lowed to Seat tie. The Northland went on the rocks of Enterprise reef at the entrance of Active pass on Friday morning, Nov. 2.

 Two Italian workmen who recently arrived at Prince Rupert, wanted to have their pictures taken. They en tered general store and asked to be fitted out with suits.

 la the last hours of the open river this season thrilling experience befell B. c. Sprague, while coming out of the Stewart river country on his way to Dawson. He started down the river on a small raft after the ice began to run. The raft was hung up on big bar or small island in the middle of the stream and there with no fire and little food he was forced to stay, marooned, for ten days, until the ice formed and he could make his way to shore over it. All this time the ice was crushing about him and threatening him with danger. Once a jam below backed up ice and water until they were about to overwhelm him, and broke only in the very nick of time. When the ice became solid he made his way twelve miles to Clear creek and Dawson.
 Jack Ahmachwanot of Nome arrived in Sitka October 2S and entered our school. Jack is an Eskimo young man who has heard at various times of the Sitka Training school and has for a year or more been desirous of coming here. Rev. L.. l.. Woods, pastor of the Pilgrim Congregational church of Nome, helped Jack to decide to come at this time. Jack left Nome on the steamship Corwin, October 8. After stormy passage down the coast, during which everyone on board was seasick, the Corwin reached Juneau. Jack took passage on the Georgia two days later. He thinks Sitka the most beautiful place he ever saw. The mountains cov- cred with hemlock, spruce and cedar make vast contrast with the more barren surroundings at Nome. He is pleased to find mild climate here and often says, "It's very cold up at Nome." Jack speaks English quite we'll. He en- tered the fourth grade in the school.- Sitka Thlinget.
