Some time ago we learned that all obsticles had been removed and that the proposed walk could be laid across the cannery grounds to the Nwe Eng land Fish Co.'S. plant. As stated in yesterdays Miner, Mr. Stedman goes south on the Princess May to meet with other mem bers of the Fish Com pany to lay out next years work here which means the employment of many skilled mechanics and laborers. In view of the fact that work is to be resumed about Feb. 1st. Why wouldn't it be good idea for the city 'Daos" to get their heads together and nave little heart to heart talk about having the walk finished by that time?

instead of sending as directed would destroy the message and poe ket the coin. The detectives claim to have positive proof of the public being defrauded out of at least two hundred thousand dollars. The time of the detectives is now being taken up in ascertaining who is at the head "if such exists'' of the gang of swindlers.
 BOSTON, Dec 2l.-Henry Rey- holds. whose trial was to begin in the Boston courts on charge of using the mails todefraud, has been declared insane and committed to the Long ls- land insane asylum. Reynolds was the president of the Alaska Dev elop- ment Co. and it was alleged had obtained large sums of money from in- vestors from all parts of the country. It has been known for some time that Reynolds mental condition was serious but the news of his confinement to an insane asylum was surprise to all.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l. Quite a ripple of excitement was occasioned when it was made known that the buried departure of the battleship Maine was under sealed orders. No statement was obtainable at the War office but it is surmised that the des- | tination of the man of war is Nenez- 1 uela. Americans now in that country are believed to he in more or less danger from the invdaing army which | Columbia has sent across the frontier. So far there has been but little blood shed but it is believed that when Columbia army reaches the interior of Venezuela serious fighting will re- suit, which may endanger the lives and property of American residents. With Holland blockadug the coast and Columbia sending her armies across the frontier Venezuela seems to be in a serio US predicament.
 SAN FRANCISCO Dec, 22-In the heart of San Franicsco's business section and in broad day light Sig mund Hartig a jeweler was assaulted by gas pipe thug who made a bold attempt to rob hls store. Hartig was benind the counter when the thug entered the door and asked to see some of the precious stones. Hartig who did not comply in manner pleasing to the prospective costumer, was dealt vicious blow upon the head with a gas pipe. The robber then attempted to help himself to a tray of jewelry but another employee in the rear of the store raised an a. larm and the robber fled out of the front door and was lost in the throng upon the street. Hartig was so &c., verly injured that he may die.

ALAsK's SURPRISING WELATH.

A
 Alaska. with it's primitive trans portation methods, has aleady cont ributed $l50, GOO, 900 to the world $ wealth, and unquestionably is store- house from which will be drawn inn mense treasure in the near futue.
 What is needed most of all is ade- quate transportation, since under pres- ent conditions only the best paying portions of the territory can be ex- plotted at a profit. One of the richest natural resources of Alaska is coal and it is described by Alfred Brooks. chief of the Alaska division of the geological survey, as higher in fuel value than any other west of the Rocky Mountains, says the Seattle Times.
 Mr. Brooks made the foregoing statement at the American Mining Congress, recently held at Pittsburg- and added: Though the coal fields of Alaska lie only twenty five miles from the coast, the Pacific seaboard offers no good harbors.
 "Plans are On foot for the construc tion of break waters near Katalla, which it is proposed to connect by railroads with the coal fields. Anoth- CT plan is to construct line from Cordova Bay, which means 100 miles of track.
 Thus it appears on the highest au- thorty that the coal fields of Alaska are within practicable reaching dis tance of the outside world, and that the question of making them avail able requires only little time.
 With the great coal fields of the east approaching inevitable exhaus- tion, the opening up of new mines with a product higher in fuel value than any other west Of the Rocky Mouuntains' at once becomes a mat ter of vast importance.
 Alaska has given us gold, and will continue to yield .he royal metal in increasing quantity. She has given us seals and fish. She is also produc- ing in limited quantity silver, copper and tin. To all these is to be added coal-and finally agriculture. Alaska Daily Record.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 19.- Abraham Ruef, the convicted San Francisco hoodler, was brought be- fore Judge Lawler this morning to receive his sentence but the judge, not having yet concluded his deliber- ation, postponed sentencing Ruef until next Thursday. It is doubtful If the appeal so much talked of by Ruef's attorneys will materialize as they realize the strength of the states case and can hope for nothing but : conviction in the end.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 2l.-Accord- ing to the report just issued by the Smithsonian Institute, there is being unearthed at Catsa Grande, Arizona, an American Pompeii. For long time workmen under Smithsonian direction have been working in the vicinity of Gasca .Grande. Nothing being learned by the outside world of their accomplishment. Their announ- cement of the discovery of buried building. two hundred feet long and containing eleven rooms has caused the American people to wonder, ii after all, in the olden times there was no great oceans dividing America and the Old World The finding of this b Hiding will cause a great effort to be made by private as well as public institutions for the unearthing of the prehistoric America.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2l.-Ex- Congressman Eugene Loud, who serv- ed California for twelve years, passed peacefully away at his home in San Francisco last night. MT. Loud's loss of his wife and daughter some time ago, preyed upon his mind and it has often been noted by his friends that he continually brooded over his loss. He has failed steadily since their death. When he finally became bed fast it was at once apparent that he would not recover, his vitality and stamana completely deserting him. With his demise California looses one of her best servants, man who had the interest of the people deeply inn planted upon his heart, and man who ever dared to do the right. Many years will elapse before California

 SEATTLE, Dec. 21.-The Seattle assay office has completed it's annual report for the fiscal year, which shows that fourteen million, eight hundred thousand dollars of Alaksa gold has been received for the year. This is a substantial increase over the output of the previous year. No doubt the output this year would have been much greater had the country thawed out as usual in the spring. The late opening reducing the possible output generally.
 PORTLAND, Dec. 2l.-Detectives for the Western Union Telegraph Co. have unearthed what they claim to be one of the greatest swindles among employees ever yet known by like corporation.
