WITH ALASKA EXCHANGES

- A SutNSN LII iht SdIueb ltugc ao the mouth of the Stkine river is about to be made, preparatory to ap- plcation for patent, by the Alaska Garnet Mining and Manufacturing Co.,, of which Miss Anna E. Durkee is the general manager. The Sentinel says that the property will be opened up and worked on large scale, and that the company is wholly composed of women.
 The Sentinel must be mourning the demise of it's office dog, if it had one-hence this reference to the sup posed manner of his taking off: 1.-The -posoner, the most despicable, cringing. coward, is again at work at his nefarious practice in Wrangell, and during the past few weeks several cauines lave fallen victims to his in- humanity. It is really to be deplosed that the beast-aye, worse than beast who does this poisoning can not be apprehended. so that an example might he made of him by crowding a goodly portion of his deadly poison down his dastardly throat.
 Several hundreds o. acres of good, tillable land lie undeveloped and un- claimed in the delta of the Stikine river. This land has been formed by the alluvial deposits of the river. and is an ideal place for the cultivation of potatoes, turnips, rntabagas, etc. Each acre will produce, annually, three hundred sacks of the finest pota- toes, which will fully mature. With potatoes selling at over two dollars a sack. it would seem that profitable and easy living could be made by a few persons acquainted with the cultl- vation of vegetables of this sort.

 It seems altogether doubtful if ii be possible for the Juneau Record tt state case fairly and truthfully under any circumstances. Referring 10 what appears now to be the passing of Dis trict Attorney Harlan it steps cut o it's way to cast stone at Judge WICK ersham by saying that he Harlan. twas one of that little coterie of mer who pinned their faith to James | Wickersham when the latter sought to undermine Governor Hoggatt. ant in the attempt to bring about his ends. he became involved with tht disreputable element which after wards proved the means of causing his downfall" The Miner is of tn, opinion that the Record could by ; little effort, have ascertained tht truth to be that Judge Wickershan lad, prior to his own resignation so far as it was in his power, disposed of Harlan by designating another lawyer to act as district attorney, an6 who had been for several months dis charging the duties of that office, ant is still doing so. The fact that Judge Wickersham was dissatisfied with th' UdUUef III NuiCll IIdiidH Soi-e'uSeS' the office has been an open secret, ant the suggestion that thero was an. agreement between the two as agains Governor Hoggatt, or indeed an, other official, is far-fetched and un tenable.

 The Sentinel warns its readers against judging man by the clothes he wears. It says ''he may be shabb- iy dressed and be an editor while the man with silk hat and Havana cigar may be only one of his delinquent sub criber' which is more likely to be true than otherwise, so far as the ed- itor is concerned.
 A Haines dispatch to the Juneau Record says that "the niue-year-old son of Jimmy Brown, a native. who has been secreted and starved for about ten days because some unscrup- ulous Indian pronounced hum a witch. ' has been rescued by Rev. Mclean and brought to the Mission hospital The little fellow would not tell who was at the head of this out rage, but he may tell later when he
