The first electric railway coach to be equipped at the Edison plant, at East Orange, N. J., will be sent to Alas. ka to be put in operation on the Tanana Valley railroad. The storage battery, by means of which the motors will be operated, is late invention of Thomas A. Edison, and although it is not work ing to the en tire satisfaction of the in. veutor at present, he says that it will be matter of a short time until the car will be in perfect operating order. Falcon Joslin, president of the Tanana Valley railroad, who hes recently re- turned from the East, secured Mr. Edison's promise of the car as soon as it has been declared perfect by the inventor.
 Dawson.-One of the finest pieces of quartz ever seen ia the Yukon valley is on display on Second avenue, in front of the Klondike Thawing Machine de- pot. The quartz is in the form of boulder, and weighs between 900 and LOGO pounds. It is from Fred Maier's II Victoria gulch. The boulder is al. most round, and is worn smooth on most portions. It is exceedingly white, and evidently of the material which formed the Bonanza white channel. The most fascinating feature about the rock is that i'm bedded everywhere over it's surface are particles of pure gold, most of them about the size of d grain of wheat when fattened. To the old time prospectors and miners this visible supply of the potent yellow right in sight in the rock is blood stirring. Many specimens of quartz with the gold visible in it have beeu seen here, but none anywhere near this in size. The rock sits on the sidewalk, but there is little likelihood of anyone carrying it>away.
 Whether the Hirsch syndicate will take over the Hubbard-Elliott and other copper properties in the Copper river country is to be determined this mouth, according to arecent statement of one in authority. The properties have been once examined by an expert mineralogist, bat another is to view them aud the landscape o'er-perhaps because ill multitude of councillors there is safety-before the ultimate fiat goes forth. This professional is to ex- anime the properties this month, but the result will probably not be known for some weeks. The claims upon which development work has been un- der way for some time, are said to be proving themselves to be all and more than was represented, and the belief is expressed by those who are acquainted with the properties that the Hirsch people will close the deal. If this should prove Go be the case, there will soon develop another strong factor in the exploitation of the copper mines of the interior. The Hirsch syndicate is strong financially, and, when started, it's operations are sure to be on large scale, and will include not only the more complete development of the mines, bat the building of railroad to carry the ores to tidewater, and the construction and operation of smelters. And it is generally believed that Vai- deg will be the point selected as the terminus of the railroad and the loca- tiou of the smelters-which will use Katalla coal and coke-Katalla Herald.

 Jacob Furth, president of the Puget Sound National bank, has returned to Seattle, after a three weeks vacation spent in Southeastern Alaska as the guest of Dr. Henry s, Pritchett, U. s. lighthouse commissioner. To P.-I. reporter he said that Juneau was modern, Sitka quaint, but Metlakahtla was interesting because of the wonder 'ful work accomplished there by Father Duncan.
 The excursion business by steamship to Alaska is developing to extraordi- nary proportions, far beyond all pre- vious expectations, this year. Some of the vessels are sold out far in advance, apd it is safe to say that the frst'ciass accommodation of all of the others will be taken in full. The great ma jority of the excursionists are Eastern people, coming from the great throng of tourists Hooking to the Northern Pacific coast this year.
 It would be boon to the mining pro- fession and to the public generally if the reports of mines and mining dis, tricts could be relied upon as reason ably correct and void of misleading statements. While an exaggerated or false statement has but brief exist enec, it being surely fo1nd out sooner or later, yet when these statements are multiplied and become habitual of district, public confidence is shaken and the district suffers, as the public eventually puts no value or reliance on the reports from the locality.-Mining Science,
 James A. Wtckersham, del egate to congress, and F. H. Congdon, mem Der of the Canadian parliament for the Yu- kon, were rendered joint open air re ception by the citizens of Dawson at Minto park on the Sth inst. Hundreds of guests were present. John Grant, former mayor of Victoria, presided. Both spoke of the needs of the two great Northern territories and what they hope to get, Wickersham said the needs of both territories were iden- tical. While Congdon secured some legislation in the recent parliament, Wickersham said his work was limited to an endeavor. Both touched upon the problem of lower transportation. Congdon said he had secured an invest igstion of the White Pass rates by the Canadian railway commission. Wick 'ershsm obtained the consent of the in- terstate commerce commission to in- vestigate the White Pass and other Alaskan routes after hard fight. Both declared they were not opposed to legitimate profits of corporations, but were opposed to unfair rates. Wicker sham said he hoped soon to abolish the law of powers of attorney and skinny representation, and hoped that terri torisl government will soon be realized under his bill
