In the suit of John Quincy dams of New York against the Hartford Times the deposition of President Cammell of the City Historical Soc ety of Philadelphia was read the other day. Adams claims that the news paper libeled him when it criticised bis efforts to raise funds for the Betsy Ross Flag House and Memorial Asso- citation in Philadelphia.
 President Cammell testified that Pennsy lvania historians have ignored the claims of the relatives of Besty Ross that she made the first American flag. He further said:
 "dont' think that any one doubts that Betsy Ross lived and died but l doubt statements of relatives in other respects, particularly these in refer ence to the making of the flag. I have never been able to find any letters to show that General Washington ever called upon Mrs. Ross with reference to the making of tine flag or that she was ever called upon to design the American standard. There is no doc umentary evidence to be found to support the story of the Canbys. All there is to it is the verbal statement of the relatives. Canby, the grandson of Mrs. Ross, declares his grand mother told him that she made the flag"
 Mr. Cammell said that h.s opinion was backed up by score of histor- ians on the subject of the American flag and he quoted number of authors who wrote histories of the flag. New York Sun.

THE CITY AND VICINITY

Messrs. s. Lichenstader and M. D. Haynes came over last evening on the Taku from Mt. Andrew. They have spent two weeks over there making a thorough investigation of conditions, This mine has recently had shaft sunk forty feet and it is into another body of ore. The gentlemen inform us that the Mt Andrew will never again quit shipping ore. They have demon istrated that it is there in suctiiient quantities for an uninterrupted run of fifty years or more, and with their almost perfect system of operation they can mine it with copper as low as twelve cents and make money.
 There has been some talk that the ore bodies in this district did not go down but the Mt. Andrew is proving the falsity of this statement, for as the shafts go down new deposits are opened.
 The Ketehikan mining district has only been scratched on the sur face. When it is opened up as in older places the world will marvel at its richness.

 The party will return this evening, having made the trip to the end of the line. The ajor will be given a view of the finest bit of wonde rland scenery in the world.
 When seen last evening he stated that government road work was pro- gressing as good as could be expected.
 Several gangs of workmen are now busy on the overland trail between Valdez and Fairbanks and with the improvements to be made this year it will be possible to maintain a sum- mer pack trail over the route. In another year or so it is expected all of the mail for the Panama will be sent over the trail instead of via the river boats, giving the interior peo- ole a much better service. -Cordoya North Star.

W ho is to do the boosting for Prince Rupert now that Vancouver real estate manipulators boosted the prices of lots so high that there can be no great turnover of property for the next three years. The men who purchased
 what they considered the choice busi- ness lots are not residents of Prince Rupert, and are not likely to be. If they do any boosting for Prince Rupert, it will be at long range. Real estate can only be boosted when there are buyers in sight and when the prices are such that a turnover can be made at an advance. Buyers will not get farther than Vancouver for there they will be shown that Prince Rupert real estate is so high that there can be DO appreciable advance until the railway is completed through to Edmonton which will take three years time. Real estate is boosted by real estate agents; but if agents can not induce buyers to make purchases because of the long wait till values increase, there can be no business for real estate agents, and those who have planned to do business at Prince Rupert will have to rearrange their plans and go elsewhere.

A GOOD OFFICER.
Two OF Them, In Fact, In the
Sheriff's Office.

L. NJ. Zugg, of Shoshone, deputy
sheriff, was in Richfield Saturday.
on civil business. Mr. Zugg and his
official boss, sheriff Wheeler, are
making Lincoln county a good place
for the bad men to stay away from.
Both the gentlemen have had about
as many real adventures with shoot
ers, knife weilders, slung shot ar
lists and other bad men inside the
last year, as some of the famous bor-
der sheriffs who have gone down in
song and story as the bravest of the
brave. Mr.. Zugg is a collegian,
football player, an artist with the
padded mitts, an editor of real lit
erary ability, and an all-around good
fellow whom it is pleasure to know
as friend. Under the new direct
primary law, the Recorder would feel
safe in predicting for him a real run
away majority in the next political
campaign, both in the primaries and
in the general election, to succeed
Sheriff Wheeler in Office.
