A CORRECTION

Chief Shakes was offended by OUT re- port of the dance and his speech in last weeks paper, and asks us to correct it. We admit that the speech credited to Chief Shakes last week was copied by us for the occasion, thinking that it would be considered as all in good hu- nor. as it was intended. The chiefs speech at ths dance WAS in reality a very good, sensible one. and we regret the offense given by our issue of last week, and in justice to the old chief, we publicly rstract our last weeks report
 Chief Shakes talk at the dance was along the line of an expression of grat- ituds and appreciation for the benefits derived by the natives from the white mans laws, education and religious teaching, and that the Indians desired t. depart from their old customs and live in civilized manner and at peace with their white neighbors.

"James Gleaaon, an old time resident of this part of Alasks, died at his home in Newtown at seven o'clock this morn- ing (Jan. g of hemorrhage of the lungs On awakening this morRing MT.

Dr. Myers was sent for as soon az possible, but MT. Gleason had passed away before the doctor arrived, Nr Gleason had been employed for some time by the Frye.Bruhn Co.,, in their ice plant, and the constant inhaling of the ammonia solution seemed to affect his lungs.

The council, however, said "nothing doing," and Jimmy will probably prance up and decorate the oilcloth,' just the same as ordinary people.

The prettiest snow scene that it has ever been the pleasure of this writer to feast his eyes upon was along the trail to Pats Lake last Thursday night. The spray from the creek had frozen on the treea and bushes, and as the moonlight shone clear on the beautiful crystals it made most pleasing sight. To see this is wall worth one's time and ex- pense in going all the way from town. The fire lsddies of Alert Fire Co. No. l entertained their gentlemen friends with a smoker at Red Mems Hall last Saturday night, there being about forty in attendance. Songs were sung, sto- ries told, whist and solo played, and refreshments served until late hour. The purpose of this smoker was to dem onatrale to the citizens of Wrangell that the town has real live fire company, and also to interest the men of the town sufficiently to increase the mem bership ot the company.
 4 case WAS recently tried in Valdez to compel a man to pay another man for a lot around which the plaintiff had built a fence some time before. Having built the fence he was waiting until somebody wanted it and would be willing to pay. The defendant had seen the fence, but did not think it constituted title, and | disregarding 1t, entered upon the land and built house The jury found | verdict for the man who built the house rather than the man who built the fence. IL is an excellent precedent.
 Fred Leonard returned last week from Ketchikan. where he had been to an swer suit brought against him by Mr. Burkhart, proprietor of the Ketchikan sawmill, for the recovery of the stump age on raft of logs. As we understand the case, Burkhart had paid the stump age on 100, 900 feet of logs, contracting to take the logs at s425 per N. Leonard made raft and Forest Supervisor Lan- 64'AS 0N0'It IT aL oJOIOJD Itcl LeOEAfQt however, sealed the logs and made the raft out to contain 39O,OOO, and offered the logs to Burkhart at that figure, but the latter refused to take them. Leon- ard remained idle for a number of months and then sold the logs to the Wrangell mill, supt. Wilson scaling at 390, 900 feet. We are told that in order to hush the matter up, MT. Langile offered to allow Leonard his own scale of 390 NJ. if Leonard would let Burkhart have the logs. For some unaccountable reason NIT. Langille was not put on the witness stand. Queer, isn't it? The jury decided the case in favor of Leon- ard, Burkhart paying the expenses of the suit

MINING IN ALASKA

The Geological Surveys report on the mining industry of Alasks in 1908, will be issued about the first of May. A special bulletin issued to the press on January s, contains the following off, cial information:
 The value of the mineral production in Alaska for 1908 is estimated at s19,- 800 ,000, as compared with s20.S71.77 for 1907. This decrease is to be charged to the gold plscsrs and copper mines, as most of the other mining industries show an increase in value of output. The value of the total mineral produc- ton from 1880, when mining first began, to the close of 1908, is, in round num- bers, S14s, ,000, ,009. Of this amount the gold mines have produced about sl42,- 900, 900. the silver output is valned at sl ,150 900. and the copper at $4, 100 900. The balance represents the value of the marble, gypsum tin and coal product for that period.
 Measured either in terms of produe- ton or of dead work accomplished, 1908 was not prosperous year for the min- | ing industry of Alaska az 8 whole. The caussa which brought about this re- tardation were in part thoss that af- fected the mining industry everywhere; <; in part they were due to certain condi. tions peenlisr to the northern territory. h Alaska mining, like many other in- dustries, was seriously affected by the business stagnatinn that followed the financial panic, and the concomitant fall in the price Of copper led both to a decrease in the output oi that metal and to diminution of activity in the prepa- ration of its future mining.
 Gold placer mining, which was affect ed only to small degree by the financial depression, experienced very decided setback because of the drought which prevailed throughout the summer in nearly all the important districts. The lack of water so curtailed the output of all of the Yukon and Seward Peninsula districts that the value of the total out put of placer gold from these sources was probably nearly a million and a half less than in 1907. This decrease of the placer gold promotion for Alaska as a whole is, however, but temporary, for the maximum annual outpul of the au- riferous gravels has not yet been reached
 Among the conditions that are retard- ing the advancement of the mineral industry are the inadequacy of the laws, under which placer ground is acquired and held, and the impossibility which has shns far sIisted of obtaining title to coal lands.
 Improved transportation facilities are among the most urgent needs of the mining industry of the territory Much progress was made during l9oS in the construction of wagon roads and trails, but these can only supplement and not supplant railways. The inadequacy of river transportation lines in seasons of low water was emphasized by the con- ditions along the Yukon last summer.

Two blazas in one day is the Wrangell record for last Saturday. A small fire occurred at the residence of c. F. Sted- man in the morning, and was discovered and e1tinguished in time to prevent any damage to speak of In the afternoon 8 brisk blaze was discovered in the big Wrangell hotel, supposedly originating from sn overloaded fue setting fire to the studding on the first floor. The changing of the frebell brought many willing hands, and, the tide being at it's height, water was soon put onto the blaze. The water was also flowing in the mains from the reservoir, and good stream was also played onto the fire. The damage from water and from the necessary tearing away of plaster and lath to get at the fire will probably amount to s200 Had the fire burned five minutes longer without discovery ihe hotel would today have been in ashes, along with the two warehouses and the Matheson store, as there was high wind and everything was ss dry as finder.
 Pred Leonard's big gasoline sloop Gussis L., came nsar going up in smoke one day last week. Fred built fire in the stove in the morning and came over b town. On returning to the boat in the afternoon he found that lantern which had hung over the stove had been shaken of its nail by the rolling of the boat, and the oil had run out of the lantern and dropped, burning, to the skin of the boat. A hole about ten inches in diameter was burned through the skin and then the blaze sxtinguished itself in some manner, thus saving ths boat from destruction.
 Despite a very strenuous effort on the part of Juneau politicians to prevent it, Hon. Royal A. Gunnison has been reap pointed judge of the First Judicial Dis trict ot Alaska.
