 Out on Mirror slough Maj. s. l.. Lov- ell, manager of the Alaska Coal Oil company, of Portland, Ore, is conserv- ing the flow of oil found some time ago on tue Carless- Barrett Sinclair prop erty, which he has under lease, and he is saving about five barrels day. This product he may use for fuel to operate the rig he is erecting, or he may con- clude to market it. Some of this oil was sent to Cordova to be tested for it's value as lubricant on the railroad, and Master Mechanic Van Cleave re- ported to Mai. Lowell that it answered the purpose quite as we'll as the im- ported refined article.-Katalla Her aid.
 The following from the Wall Street Journal should be sufficient hint to the men interested in Alaska to get busy: The close of the year shows little change in the mining situation of Alaska. More capital is needed in that country and better transportation methods necessary to develop the re- sources of the country. A few good properties are working successfully, but the rest of the gold comes from small prospectors who are merely transient and take the top layer, so to speak, leaving the poorer gravel for those who can afford the equipment and pay the cost of getting machinery to the place of action. The recent panic really hurt development in Alas ka, and probably placed the country 8 year behind what would have shown next year if money had been obtain. able. The proper methods have not been used to interest the public in this country, which is really enormously rich in various metals outside of gold.
 c. A. Mcleod, a Koyukuk miner, ar rived in Valdez recently, having made the trip from the Middle fork, where he is operating, in the remarkably quick time of twenty-six days. He is enroute to the states to purchase drill with which to prospect deep placer dig gings. Mcleod says there is more ac- tual mining in the Koyukuk district this fall than ever before in the life of the camp. About fifty plants are in opera tion, chiefly on Nolan creek. Some of these being small prospecting drawers utilizing only one or two points. The diggings are deep and in consequence prospecting is difficult and expensive. There are six big producing claims on Nolan creek, the ground being exceed ing rich. The country is regarded as "spotted," however, no continuous pay streak having been located. There are about 300 miners in the Koyukuk dis trict, 200 of whom are working on Nolan, the remainder being on the various tributaries of the Koyukuk.

Since shooting that occurred last summer, the right to sell liquor has been refused to all roadhouses and other concerns in the Canadian Forty mile, and that region is becoming famous as dry one.

 Fully fifty per cent of the laboring men who have remained in the Klon- dike this winter will in the spring be SO interested in their various mining en- terprises as to prevent them taking their places again with the big gold company and various other concerns which employed them the past sum- mer. Reports reaching the Miners and Merchants association at Dawson show the men to have taken hold with will, and in many cases to have already opened up ground which lifts them at once from the ranks of hired labor.
 If fourth judicial division is created by congress it is said that President Roosevelt has promised to make George A. Shea United States marshal. Shea is now in training for the position, United States Marshal Love having made him chief deputy at Fairbanks. For the judgeship, c. D. Murane, "f Nome, has his hat in hand, because he was the defeated republican candidate for delegate in 1906. He is of the Hog gatt persuasion, as is also Lewis r. Shackleford, of Juneau, who would also like the job, it is said. Porter J. Coston, of Nome, is also said to be candidate, and if the plum is given an Alaskan-which is doubtful-no better selection could be made, as he is man of fine legal training, with we'll poised judicial mind, and he has kept himself free from all "entangling alliances."-I Ex.
 According to arrivals from Dawson the fight for the Yukon seat in parlia- ment is becoming very bitter and be- fore January 19 the record of every man in the fight will be an open book. There are four men in the field. Fred erick T. Congdon, former governor, who was defeated in the last parlia- mentary election by Dr. Alfred Thomp- son, is running as Liberal on what is known as the "Yukon Liberal ticket" The other Liberal candidate supported by the "steams," as one branch of the party is called, is Frank Lowe, of Whitehorse. George Black and Joseph Andrew Clarke are the Conservative candidates, each party being badly split. The four men are holding num- Der of joint meetings, as is the custom in Canada. The recent arrivals say the personalities indulged in make it one of the bitterest campaigns known in Canada. All the papers in Yukon are supporting Lowe.
