Bishop RutIer,s Generosity.

So many examples of episcopal GU pidity have been cited of late that the average reader may be excused for be lieving the bishop of century or SC ago to have been an incarnation of greed. But against the Luxmores. the Watsons and the Porteouses may be set the saintly Butler, whose "Analo- gy" Is still used as text book for clerical examinations. Butler kept open house at Durham. where he dis pensed hospitality with lavish hand On one occasion a man called at the palace soliciting a subscription for some charitable object. How much money is there in the house?" asked Butler of his secretary. The secretary after Investigation replied that there was f50O. Give 1t to him, then" re- piled the philosopher bishop, flor it is a shame that bishop should have so much."-London Chronicle.

A Gentle Hint,

4 lady who suffered from a neigh r's fowls that overran and spoiled her garden politely asked her neighbor several times to keep his pets at home, but no attention was paid to her grievance. Finaly she hit upon an ingenious method of protecting her self. She prepared grains of corn by tying to them with strong thread small cards bearing the words, ''Please keep your chickens at home," and dis tributed the grains about her flower beds. The chickens came to feast as usual and greedily swallowed the corn, not preceiving the thread until the card was against their peaks. Then they could neither swallow the card nor rid themselves of the swallowed corn. Twenty or thirty of the maraud- CTS ran home. bearing the polite re- quest to their culpable owner. who, struck with the method of the hint promptly cut the threads and cooped up his fowls.-Bombay Times.

Secretary Ballinger explains tn

Secretary Ballinger explains the eported difficulty between his depart ment and the department of agricul. ture very conciseIy. The department of the interior has exclusive control of the administration of the public lands laws while the forestry bureau is attached to the department of agri- culture. The laws of congress which are admi nistered by the department of the interior allow exploration for minerals within the limit of forestry reserves and the taking up Of mineral claims within those reserves. Mir. Pinchot, the chief of the bureau of forestry, insists on his right to annul the laws of congress, to set aside, oi his motion, certain portions of the forestry reserves, within which he absolutely refuses to permit mineral exploitation. Naturally, the depart ment of the interior refuses to permit a subordinate in another department to interfere with the general land laws and does not consider his attempt to nulllfy any act of congress as bind- ing.
 The trouble with MT. Pinchot is that, with the best intentions in the world, he fails to grasp the idea that the Prussian system is not wholly in effect in this country, and that there is still some government by congress, not wholly by bureaus of the execu- tive branch. Where he considers the Legislation of congress ill-advised, because not coinciding entirely with his own ideas of the proper manner of handling the public domain he sub stitutes his personal orders for the congressional acts, and feels aggrieved when he is overridden.
 He knows that he has no purpose in view save the public good, as he sees it, and cannot comprehend why he should not be given an absolutely free hand to do precisely what he wants to do in order to carry out his own views of what is for the public good. cor recting, according 10 his own ideas, what he may consider to be the mis- takes of congress or the inadequacies of the federal statutes. He is good

A quartz vein ten feet in width an6 traceable for a distance of 600 feet, free gold plainly discernable in the rock and giving an average mine :un of sJl.86 in gold per ton, is 8 recent discovery which places this property in the category of the great est gold strike yet made in Alaska, where rich finds, in this region at least are of common occurrence.
 This wonderful discovery was made by R. L. Hatcher on Jure 15 last. Ii is located near the head waters ol Archangel creek, tributary of the Little Susitna river, and is about a mile as the crow flies, from other well known claims in the Willow creek region. It is thirty-five miles from Knik, and eighteen miles from the surveyed route of the Alaska Central branch to the MatanUska coal fields.
 Running into the main vein is a feeder which is fourteen inches wide, traceable for some distance. An assay of the mine run of this vein gave a return of sl20.79 in gold per ton. Seward Gateway.

No. 3. In places their pay runs as much as twenty feet deep, while in other spots it drops back to the aver age of the camp, which is four and five feet. In the deep spots the gold is all through the gravel, and they tunnel on bedrock in the ordinary way. After cleaning the bedrock, they thaw the roof down and clean up to whatever depth it pays them to do so.
 On discovery claim, on Dome creek, the reverse conditions obtain. In some places holes are found iL the bedrock with fifteen or twenty feet of pay dirt in them. h these holes the gra- vel was thawed in the usual way and men would shovel it out on to scaff- olds. Then it was thrown from the scaffolds up to the working fcor then placed in wheelbarrows and taken out to the boxes. These holes were not unusually rich, as would be imagined, but carried about the same grade of pay as the tunnels to and from them.
 That gold is where you find it, is exempliied in the action of layman who had it in for the owner of ground, who bothered him a great deal about his manner of working. The layman was working with windlass. One day the owner of the claim called down the shaft, and asked the layman to send him up pan. The layman was in pay, but did not intend to reveal it.
 To keep the owner from annoying him further, and intending to send up blank pan, the layman struck his pick into the muck of the roof of the tunnel and dragged down painful of dirt and sent it up. When the own- CTS of the ground got through banning the dirt, besides run of gold, he had $40 nugget.

The Seward Gateway wires the Prospector that in a Gateway inter- view with Gen. Bell, wherein his attention was directed to the high rates on press matter coming over the Alaska cable here, requested that all Alaska papers put in writing a request for flat press rate of cent word and address it to him at Washing ton. He promised to take the matter up with Gen. Allen, chief of the sig nal service and urge that the request be granted.
 The Prospector has argued this mat ter until the type became too coarse to articulate on the subject any further. It has explained that low rate on news messages to Alaska will not bene- it the newspapers but the public. Alaska newspapers are not making much money and are obliged to limit the amount expended upon cable tolls. 1 If the rate were cut in half they would still spend the same amount and the readers would get twice as much outside news. The Prospector will hopefully send the desired letter to Gen. Bell.-Valdez. Prospector.

The City Store has been the center of interest this week to people who think they known anything about mining, as one after the other they have gone to see the free milling gold ore which Donald Sinclair found on his recent camping trip. The ore which carries considerable values in silver, lead and zinc, has the addi- tional quality of containing quite a good deal of free gold, which can be seen with the naked eye. When these particles of the yellow metal are put under glass, there is DO room for imagining they can be anything else.
 The lead carrying the high values is narrow, few inches, at best, but the rock on each side is also mineral ized quite heavily, and conveys the impression that the values are there
 Mir. Sinclair will proceed to develop the property at an early date and has the best wishes of the entire commu- nifty that he may ind another Tread well, the ore of which it resembles to a considerable extent. .-Wrapgell Sentinel.

In the death of Mrs. Charles Prosch, Washington state loses one of its most distinguished pionees. She was S5 years old and has lived on Puget Sound 5l years. Her husband is living and only recently they had celebrated their sixty third wedding anniversary. Mrs. Prosch has always been an active figure at meetings of the State Pio- neers Association. In the old terri tioral days, she voted and once served as juror during a term of the superior court. Besides the widower. son, Thomas Prosch, the Puget Sound historian, survives. Mrs. Prosch was buried in Seattle.

Four men in Wrangell were arrested last week for playing black jack. Marshal Lowe who made the arrest admitted they were only playing for the drinks and no money had changed hands. However it is crime to play black jack for lemonade in Alaska, so the men were fined $50 each, which together with the costs made a grand total of s270. The game was in tenn perance billiard room and the attor- ney has asked to have the proprietor license recinded.

The Japanses poachers who have been confined in the old Congrega- tional church, improvised as jail. since last September, were nominally discharged today from Imprisonment under sentence, but are held in the same place to await the arrival of the federal immigration agent for Alaska, Kazis Krauczunas of ketchikan, who will probably reach Valdez on the Northwestern. If he comes on that steamer the Japanese will no doubt be taken to Seattle on her return trip and from the Sound city be sent to Japan. Valdez Prospector.

Col. B. D. Crooker will retire from his post as collector of internal rev. enue at Tacoma on Sept. l. TheCol- onel has done good work in this capacity and earned the gratitude of his superiors at Washington, to such an extent that an effort to remove him for political reasons, before the expiration of his term, proved futile. Col. Crooker will devote himself to his personal affairs hereafter and become useful, private citizen to Tacoma. Former Postmaster Hartson of Spokane will succeed him.
