Gov. Hoggatt is quoted by an eX- change as having said that one of the objects of his trip to Washington this winter is to make an effort to have the timber laws changed so that the regu- lations as they are now enforced would not be so hard on the timbermen of the northern country.
 If the expectations of the Anvil Mountain Tunnel Go. are realized, quartz, the very mother source of the gold which has made the placers of Nome famous, will have been found this winter. The company has started to drive a tunnel under Anvil noun tain in the hopes of striking quartz in place.
 The plans of the Alaska Road Com mission to construct a great trunk road through the heart of Alaska, from Sew ard to Nome, were pushed forward with great strides recently, when w. l.. Goodwin, the Nome superintendent, re- ceived instructions from Major Rich ardson to prepare for the building of that part of the thOroughfare from Kaltag to the Innoka. The appropria- tion for that part of the work is S2,OOO. Ex Governor Ogilvie. of the Yukon Territory, is collecting data and will write book covering the early days in the North. MT. Ogilvie has lived in the Yukon for the past 2l years, and as as tronomer for the Canadian government he established the boundary line be- tween the Yukon Territory and Alaska in 1887, and recent trials have shown that his calculations were i'll the main correct.
 The Northwest mounted police eXpe- dition will leave Dawson between De- cember 20 and 9 for Ft. MacPherson and Herschel island, Arctic ocean, go- ing via head of Peel river, then down the Mackenzie. The party is expected back in March. It will carry any letters from the United States, Canada and elsewhere for whalers or others. They should be sent to Dawson in care of the mounted police.
 One of the sections of the constitu- tion of the Fairbanks Liquor Dealers Association reads as follows: The ob- iects of the association shall be to do all things necessary to facilitate, inn prove and regulate the liquor traffic in the Panama; to work ln harmony with the chamber of commerce and other or ganizations for the upbuilding of the Panama, and to promote good feeling and good fellowship among it's mem- bers.
 Speaking of the earthquake shock felt in the Panama last mouth, the Fair banks Times says: At No. IA, Gold stream, the point-man was at work when the shock came. It was accom- panied by such loud rumbling noise, and the effects on the tunnels and drifts were so fearful, that he ran to the shaft and screamed for help. There was tremendous iarring and crackling of earth and timbers behind him as he ran. The result was that, although the drift behind the face had shown no signs of weakness or disintegration, earth the size of block 120 feet wide by 80 feet in length and probably p or 30 feet in thickness fell from the roof of the chamber, filling the entire drift almost to the face.
